New Player in a new System in General Discussion
Justice!

    So I'm respectively new to Dota (not reached the 100 game threshold yet) but I decided to play the ranked mode when the new system appeared. Now my question is on ranking up I calibrated at Archon 2 while the person who was showing me Dota calibrated at Crusader 0 (which was pretty funny) all my ranked games are played with him with the exception of 3 solo games i did with 2 wins and 1 loss. My question is why has he been able to rank up twice and I haven't ranked up at all. All my games are with him so we should have the same party win loss rate (he only plays party with me) and the solo games he has done he has lost 4 won 2. I just dont understand why my rank is remaining stagnant (We do win more games than we lose). Anyone of you more experienced players know?

      He's a lower rank than you, which probably has a lot to do with progression. Also if you calibrated at Archon 2 as your party MMR then your solo is likely respectively higher.

        His party is higher than solo and your solo is higher than your party

          My question to you is why would you pose as a player New to dota when you are clearly a failed smurf/not new?

              Rekt. Whe you are genuinely a beginner and not a smurf, you will calibrate at 1k(that's the highest mmr a newbie will get)

                I don't believe anybody when they claim to be a new player unless their first match looks something like this.

                  this thread is depressing. another little child trying to...i'm not exactly sure what here. Do you want us to call you a Mozart of e-gaming since you calibrated archon 2 despite beginning a complete beginner? You are NOT a beginner. You are a player who is garbage in his main account, so you are trying to convince yourself those past 500 matches didn't happen. Just like changing the date of the calendar from 2017 to 2018 won't change you as a person, changing accounts won't change you as a player.

                  What pissed me off most, was how you thought you were smart in trying to pass yourself as new to the game. Does that work on your 11 year old school friends? You pull out lies out of your arse and everyone bends their knee to the new king of fools? Simpleton trash.

                      Welcome to Dota, you suck xD

                        Ah right , thanks for the initial response as for the follow up (mainly the long one) I wasn't aware that my rank was particularly high my friend who introduced me to the game said it was about average and Dotabuff claims normal skill. So I assumed I was par for the course. But yeah was just curious on why when playing the same games one of us climbed faster so thanks for the help.

                        Yours sincerely

                            maybe he is "new" to other heroes. haha! my friend recenty started DoTA a real newb. and he is on 800 mmr dude. because he dont have any idea on how the game works. I think that's the definition of newb.

                              The senate you're a piece of trash for posing to be a new player and I hope you're ashamed of yourself kiddo. Try some other forums cuz you aren't fooling anyone here you knob.

                              Eddie

                                Also pls make more accounts and calibrate them in 2k cuz that's your skill cap.
