Dota 2: New Algorithm Introduced in Matchmaking for Better Gaming Experience

Ive had this account for a number of years now as just a casual account. Always used to play really casual and bad in earlier years. Also worth noting, never really got into ranked since there is no ranked servers in my country. Id classify myself as a sub decent player. I do however get quite abit of high skill games, even when solo queing unranked. If I were to try and calibrate. How does dota sense your skill group? Do they take your all time skill and pop it in accordingly.

Dota 2 is a game where players form a team and fight to take down the Ancient of the enemy. Fortunately, the New Frontiers update introduces a new matchmaking system. Rank is an estimate of the player's skill while Rank Confidence is Valve's confidence in that estimate. When playing a match, the current system adjusts the Rank based on whether the player wins or loses. As more games are played, the Rank Confidence also goes up since the development team now has more data. In implementing changes to the Rank and Rank Confidence, the game has been using a modified version of the Elo algorithm.

Dote Night: How Does Dota 2 Matchmaking Work?

Unranked or casual games do not display matchmaking ratings and still doesn't track your MMR for solo and party queues.
