New Ranked System in General Discussion
MILNOR

    RANKED SEASONS
    In this update we've reworked how the matchmaking rating system works for both ranked and unranked players, changing to a six-month seasonal system. These regular seasons will ensure that MMR is both recent and accurate for all players, which will lead to better quality games for everyone.

    During each season all players will earn a medal for their profile based on peak skill for that season. There are seven different medals, and within each medal there are five stars of progress to earn toward the next medal. Your current medal as well as your previous season’s medal will be displayed to all players before each match.

    At the start of each season all players will recalibrate MMR, seeded by their previous season’s MMR. Your current historical preseason MMR value will be recorded and selectable in your profile, and ranked players will continue to be able to track their current seasonal MMR value.

    To give everyone a chance to prepare, the first season will begin in two weeks.

    IS THIS THE END OF "HOW DO I GET OUT OF NORMAL SKILL" THREADS?

    but the beginning of what...

        The beginning of nice max mmr retard

        Pale Mannie

          does this mean that there will be no more 10k's when max calibration is still 3.5k?

          Coroner

            New mmr is based on old one. For example you are 5k, your first game will be at 5k average. After that you calibrate it in test games. Its pretty much same as lol.

                Gagogao

                  and then everybody gonna be playing carry or kill stealing everybody because calibrating is all about KDA.

                    This game is so done..really rip my life

                    i don't know what's going on

                      in my opinion this changes is too fast we got talent tree last year now this? this is too much for me

                      MARLAN

                        If calibration is not very powerful, as well as still only earning +/- 25 per match then it really won't change much.

                        The only thing it changed if the above is true, is that your MMR number is hidden behind the badge/tier/league.

                        However - if calibration is powerful, or they have an improved mmr system (biggest thing being adding back uncertainty in ranked)

                            Given a game like Dota. I feel like this would just destabilise the system completely. But ppl will feel good because they it's a chance to get unstuck.

                            Phardiiin

                              i believe it will something like overwatch or lol system, its actually not that bad, we can get our true mmr (myslef for example, this is my main acc and i have 300 mmr, just because i started playing ranked really early and i had no idea how the game even works and... yeah, so its a really good opportunity to get 4k on this account too).

                                you dont have 300mmr "because you started playing ranked early"

                                Heiki

                                  I dont have 300, but little over 1k. But surely reason is i started rank when i had no clue about game yet and im just not interestes play solo anything. So it is possible reason

                                  Star

                                    so it means it wont be 3.5k max callibrate again like others?.. it would b nice if people start from 3.5k

                                      played 2 games 10 hours ago 1-1 still got +25 and -23 and i didn't get something about the badge

                                      Hingle McCringleBerry

                                        and it will still based on skill brackets? or another whole new stuff?

                                        Jung

                                          the badges are coming in about two weeks and hasn't been implemented yet. For now, we're all just playing normal ranked games.

                                          Coroner

                                            Calibration will 100% be more than just +/- 25. They have to copy LOL system where calibration games actually matter, otherwise, it has no fucking point. And no, 3.5k wont be max. As Valve said, when you play first calibration game, average of it will be based on your MMR from previous season.

                                            Snu

                                              Anyone know if you'll still get to see your MMR through console commands? Similar to how you can view your behavior score?

                                              Heiki

                                                You cancan see it under your profile also, no need to even go to console.

                                                  So what is the purpose of this new ranked system?
                                                  And what is the difference between 5k mmr and lets say 5 medals 4 stars

                                                  Souine

                                                    i feel like playing mobile legend on pc

                                                    Potato PC

                                                      The new ranked match is a joke, if they keep the number system and don't use badge/flag/banner/whatever, i think the new ranked match is fine.

                                                              ^ Oh yeah? Well we can just freeze our MMR, display the historic MMR on our profile and refuse to play any calibration games.

                                                                              Walmart rtz

                                                                                Story Time

                                                                                  MILNOR

                                                                                    Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
