    Cause obviously for 2 months i climbed with 200 MMR only and i can't progress cause this is my real lvl then... what is the point of ranked system anyway.

        ^could just wait and let Wave do his job? :facepalm:

        Strongmind

          ^ No, I must comment so you can comment as well.

            ^If you didn't comment, I wouldn't comment either. I consumed time on this thread I would else use on something else that would probably change my life or thoughts about life.

            You changed my life, Bogi. Thanks.

                  Play dual queue with someone who is at least 1k higher than you and preferably voicechat.
                  My friend calibrated at 1600 cuz he played for like 2 months and decided to do ranked, now in like 2 months time he is 1 win away from 3k
                  (1400 mmr pretty dramatical increase i would say). I also used to spectate his games and write advice on items and skillbuilds, and when we played dual queue i let him pick any hero he wanted (well i had to try hard those games xD). But the improvement is there, just find a friendly guy who is somewhat higher mmr than you and willing to play with you a lot :)
                  edit: btw having 3k with only 1k matches is pretty standard, and 3k can't be anyone's max mmr cuz its shit :)
                  if you are willing to invest time in this trash game to get numbers (like me), you will eventually increase.
                  and 1 more thing try pubstomping heroes (slark, lanaya, viper, razor, sky, void) and get good at one of those heroes, you can go up 1k just by playing 1 hero very well.

                          ^yes, if u have less than 2000 mmr party you won't be able, if u have at least 2500 you can queue with 4500 i believe.

                            The point of the ranked system is two fold:

                            First is to match you with players of similar skill level so your games are not lopsided and you win some and lose some but overall get very close to winning half your matches. This is the primary purpose of ranking and why it existed even when it was hidden, for better match quality. While it's fun to stomp, it's no fun to be stomped.

                            The second reason is to provide fake incentive to keep playing and rank up. This seems to be the part you've figured out. A rating system will drive some players to get better and rank higher and keep playing. But you are right, there isn't much point there. The real point of mmr is to match you against similar players, not to rank up. Keep that in mind and enjoy the game. Don't worry so much about moving up.

                              The point of ranked system is matching both teams with equal chances to win the game.
                              This game is ridiculous, doesn't matter if you are 6k or 2k, games will still be ruined by retards, but even knowing this, I still want to increase my MMR and play versus better players... thats pretty pointless if you ask me
