My support calibration results

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 05:32 AM PST

In my 10 calibration matches I only played support(my preferred role). I only used 2 heroes, WD and Jakiro. Mostly as position 5 lane support.

My mmr before calibration was 5768. I won 6/10 games. I lost 2 games with both of my heroes.

My gameplay was a bit rusty after 1 month break from dota. In most of the games I had very average kda. I did buy a lot of support items, though.

After 10 games I calibrated at 5818 mmr(Divine 5). After reading about higher mmr players losing mmr in the new calibration I was really surprised I effectively gained quite a bit of mmr.

So, fellow support players, don't be scared. You don't need to pick cores. Just play your preferred role.

Reminder: Playing poorly is not a reportable offense.

Posted: 23 Nov 2017 10:45 PM PST

Everyone has bad games, just because someone got caught out of position or didn't ward exactly where you wanted them to does not mean they need to be reported.

The only reportable offenses are:

Communications Abuse harassment, offensive language, spamming (mostly voice chat), using the wrong language for the server selected

Intentional Ability Abuse throwing an ally into enemies with the intention of getting them killed, tether-porting allies into the enemy fountain, sending allies back to base for no reason (chen/kotl) ect.

Intentional feeding This is very obvious when you see it, being caught out of position is NOT intentional feeding, it's just a bad play

Please keep this in mind before you start spamming "GG REPORT RIKI" or w/e at the end of every single loss

new Ancient Apparition set for Frostivus , what do you think ?

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 06:18 AM PST

There's nothing "Seasonal" about an MMR that is 95% determined by up to 7 years of account history.

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 06:06 AM PST

  • Take your starting MMR.

  • Apply deflation if necessary (the higher above 4k the more deflation).

  • Play your heart out in 10 calibration games.

  • End up within ~200 MMR of your starting MMR.

To say your new MMR/medal would be "seeded" by your old MMR is false representation of this system. It is by and large the biggest factor. I've (re)calibrated two accounts now:

  • One 5.4k where I frankly sucked in the games and I ended up at a mildly deflated 5k;

  • And one 3.4k where I utterly destroyed 8 out of 10 games only to end up at... 3.3k. That one is pretty close to the median so I dont expect much deflation.

The numbers aren't that significant, what matters most is your relative position compared to everyone else does not change. This is worrying because it lets the faults that crept into the system over the years persist, only band-aids inflation, and doesn't address the account boosters, buyers, smurfs, exploiters, one patch wonders, inactive people, returning people, and so on.

We're in a position where a 5k player who newly calibrates an account, needs an entire season just to get to a level he's comfortable playing on, so he can spend the next season trying to progress. Because let's not forget, what also didn't change was the weak underlying Elo system with a K-factor of 50 (+/- 25 MMR) and an uncertainty that doesn't change. There's no degree of smurf detection (so also no game-ruiner detection) whatsoever.

I dare say Valve has made it worse by only ever displaying the top medal earned and not addressing the skill disparity in the upper and lower extremes of the distribution.

Whats the point of medals if they are not loading and are stuck on ''?'' just like profile level badges are stuck on lvl1

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 05:36 AM PST

Well title....

Edit: to make it clear i did calibrate (legend 1), and even played few games after that ,but the medals are not loaded most of the time , they show ''?'' and so do on all profiles of my friends , there are a rare moments that they load but it shoud not be like that...

Never forget boys, 4 years ago

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 04:43 AM PST

Valve we need word on what happens now that the custom game contest deadline has passed. Are we allowed to continue updating the game? And where do we show the % shares?

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 10:18 AM PST

Contest is over.

It is still possible to update the games. Some creators already have, others are afraid to because they worry it might disqualify them. Because of the short deadline many games had to be rushed out and are experiencing some bugs. Are we allowed to fix those or not?

It's important that we know. This contest shouldn't be decided by a game of chicken. If the games are going to be judged in the state they were in when the deadline passed and updating disqualifies you then there are already quite a few modes that have disqualified themselves without knowing. If that's not how it works and you are allowed to continue working, then it's not fair towards the people that aren't updating out of fear of disqualification even though the games might benefit from it. This is especially bad because some people are already updating and others want to but don't want to risk it.

A simple yes or no would suffice. We aren't asking for a lot of information here.

On that note: In the rules you state: "2. Identify all contributors to the submission and receive their confirmation, including percentage shares for the prize."

This functionality doesn't exist. Nobody knows where to add in the percentage shares for the members of their team. The functionality for that simply doesn't exist. We posted it in the workshop page but is that the right place? No idea. Not every team has an even split and it's important that we can communicate that. Especially since you specifically ask for it on the page.

Tip: If you buyback and then die with aegis/reincarnate, the buyback penalty will be removed

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 07:30 AM PST

Very situational but it's useful to know - especially for those who like to farm after wiping out the entire enemy team instead of taking objectives :))

I just realized Open Dota’s badge distribution will always be accurate now

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 12:41 AM PST

Since all badges are shown publicly, Open Dota will have access to all badges, which would show Dota's true badge distribution.

What actually bothers me the most

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 04:22 AM PST

People complaining about losing a couple hundreds of mmr, when nearly everyone is losing mmr; pro players lost like 2k mmr points or so

If you are 100% sure you deserve a better ranking, then great for you, time to stomp a few games and get your mmr back, simple calculs
