General DiscussionI need to understand stuff.

there are two types of hidden mmr - solo and party, and they may be different
if u go to normal skiellz when stacking, it either means ur hidden party mmr is lower than solo, or ur friends' hidden party mmr is low.
when u play in stacks, you hidden solo mmr is not affected.

triplesteal, can you check where my solo mmr is heading at? I've been having bad games lately

i dont know which of your games are played in party, but apparently u get to VHS bracket even when you lose, so it should be over 3800. However, its hard to say whether you are, f.e., 3900 or 4400.

So it's all about the kda ratio or other stuff matters too?

nah, kda doesnt matter much. its more about winrate in your first games and HD, and kda is 3rd most important parameter.

there are no party hiden lel

cuz you can play solo all games to the calibration

@x6
nah, u r wrong. the contradiction u provide as proof is actually not a contradiction :)

@TripleSteal- what do you mean HD? I'm noob at this hahaha

hero damage

So I need to spam my favorite carries for a higher mmr? Because I played support and shit that might have affected my hidden mmr O_O

if u spam heroes in order to get higher mmr, you'll get to the mmr you dont actually deserve, which will lead to both your and your teammates' frustration. mmr evaluates skill pretty accurate when you just play normally.

Do what this guy did. Spam easy heroes that own the meta during that time. Then once you calibrate start playing 4-5 slot heroes. Oh and study up on slark since he has the power to dodge nerfs ;)
