General DiscussionJust reached 2,000 pub games.

Unranked is a complete waste of fucking time. Only noobs who just installed and 2k smurfs who dont want to lose mmr play that shit

Pub dota isn't even dota
Better late than never

i played about 2000-2400 unrank before progressing to almost only solo ranked

^ prolly the best smurf name i've ever seen

3/4 game happen in Unrank if I not wrong

I spent a long time in unranked before trying ranked.
I will never play unranked again, except to maybe practice a few games on a hero or if i'm playing with friends in a 3 stack

So pretty much stop wasteing time on the shit?

I've seen people saying unranked is shit but nobody said why. Explain pls

I did about 1k unranked games and than about 800 ranked games on 2k, i definitely prefer unranked, as i know if i climb anywhere up it would be more and more try hard, which is very unnecessary if you play few games per day.i just dont have that fun playing ranked and see alk the time same lineups etc

ounce you go ranked, you never go back ^^

Unranked is shit because there's pretty much nothing is at stake, making the enviroment less serious and competitive
Either you get people who play with one hand for fun with their friends or tryhard smurfs trying to get VHS
Yes, unranked is more fun and less tiring, but look at it this way, is it fun to be a trash player who doesn't improve that much after 1000+ hours? Is it fun to play with people who don't even know how to hit creeps every game? It's not everyone's thing but I would rather not play competitive games only for memes and giggles

It shudnt matter, its a game so play whatever mode u have more fun in. Its supposed to be E N T E R T A I N M E N T, so make it E N T E R T A I N I N G

Up to you if you want to continue playing unrank matches or proceed in playing rank matches or............. play both doesn't really matter tho hahaha

Ranked is like... it's like fucking Hogwarts or Little Witch Academy in which, if your mmr sucks on Dota, you would probably suck ass in Mahou School.

Unranked is like practice though. Idk what these people are talking about when they say unranked is an inactive joke when you can find an unranked game much much faster than a ranked game.

Not only that, but unranked is what ranked should be in the sense that players actually community and fucking work together

and ranked is what unranked should be with what seems to have those toxic players and trolls outnumber serious players by a like a 3:1 ratio

I have heroes I am going to mass spam to improve on my game and have more hero diversity in the competitve scene.

I am waiting to hit 4k solo again and will then play unranked again to start working on heroes like SD, ET, mirana (I only have like 7 games with Mirana) and other heroes that hold a heavy impact and work on win percentile like my LC I am a bit proud of since I had like 30% win rate with her by around 70 games, and I have about double that many games with her now and almost have a solid 50% (dbuff is inaccurate with the my win rates due to a few months of activity missing), a 2 win streak with LC and she will be a flat 50% win rate.

Lately I have been spamming Omni since I can heal my sissy 3k teammates (they can make a lot of bad calls), plus I must be doing something right since I have a 60% win rate with mr knight. Plus, spamming support is helping my behavior score which has slowly been going up and I notice better teams being given to me by Ice Lord "ironically".

tl;dr
*Ranked is what Unranked should be, and Unranked is what Ranked should be.
*Long-story-short I am working back to 4k by spamming support, and once I am back to solo 4k I am taking a solo ranked break to work on Party mmr & practice heroes I have always wanted to learn in Unranked.
*At the same time, improve on win rate percentages with heroes I played a lot.

^Reading that jolted me into realizing I should be doing something productive now...

The cult of DotA 2 ranked.

They worship a frosty frog for crying out loud!
