Summary of ideas for the revision of hero rankings? in General Discussion
兆吳曼哈

    Thought it will be a good idea to gather all the ideas in here. Please be brief and to the point(only minor explanation).

    Suggestions from Thread:
    -remove professional division(we are in the same public matches)
    -increase the weight on kda a bit(impact in the game should matter more. also, in this way pros will likely still have some advantage as their impact is usually higher)
    -increase weight on ranked matches as opposed to non-ranked(non-ranked is often for fun with friends and experimentation)
    -try to find a way to exclude party games/stacks from the calculation(this is optional as I know it is difficult and depends on valve)
    -decrease the weight on lower division matches significantly(i.e. with the aim of trying to have a hero ranking where very few people got their winrate/kda etc. in games below a certain threshold e.g. 4.5/5k MMR)
    -decrease the weight on matches from previous patches(e.g. to have the most updated/relevant rankings where new players can learn from the currently best players with the hero... also, some heroes had significant changes e.g. many players 'abused' Huskar when you could attack in ghost form)

    jo~

      should abolish the use of kda

      matrice

        remove lower lvl game from the calculation, if you increase the kda weight

          I second that, increase the weight on kda but decrease weight on non-ranked and lower division matches.

          Low Expectations

            I once got 26-4-7 on TA http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/977234331 (won the game), most lh, most hero dmg, most tower dmg and still lost like 400-500 points because it was unranked and my unranked hidden rating is much lower than RMM. I dont get how thats calculated but this just seems wierd.

              you shouldn't lose points for that. just the unranked games/lower division points should be weighted much lower.

                the weighting for previous patches should be reduced exponentially - this would have the benefits of filtering out people who are no longer active with a hero, allowing new players to appear on the leaderboard, avoid the anomoly of lower-division single hero spammers appearing higher than their skill leveland, most importantly, would show who are the current best players of a hero.

                  ^yeah but then why do you even count it, there is basically no way for me to increase or keep my rating no matter how well i preform because i play unranked
