How to gain MMR in patch 7.33

Dota 2 has become one of the most played multiplayer online games globally where winners fight to conquer map controls with the help of unique heroes with different abilities. The game is equipped with matchmaking rating (MMR) system which ranks players based on their performance in the game.

On the night of April 21, Valve released a global patch 7.33 for Dota 2 named "The New Frontiers" which brought several significant changes to the game, including the MMR system. In this article, we will discuss the specific changes introduced by the new patch to the MMR system, how they are likely to impact ranked games, and tips to improve your rating in the new patch.

How the new patch changed MMR in Dota 2

Initially, Valve used an outdated algorithm for calculating MMRs in Dota 2. This old algorithm was built around ELO method which took into consideration only wins and losses when computing MMR giving a fixed number of points for each win. When a player won, their MMR increased; if he or she lost it reduced respectively. However, these methods were also prone to various bugs, boosters and other types of cheat.

In replacement for ELO method that became outmoded by 2023 Glicko algorithm was introduced into Dota 2. This takes into account not only wins and losses but also player stats per match such as kills/deaths/towers/creeps etc… The new way also looks at things like rank confidence interval and how many days ago calibration happened.

Thus, a more sophisticated version of MMR evaluation system named Glicko has been developed, which considers a range of different aspects. That makes it possible to determine more accurately what level a player belongs to now guaranteeing equal conditions for all participants during matchmaking compilations within the given universe.

Due to the revamped evaluation system, players now have three ranking values: Solo MMR, Party MMR, and Core MMR.

• Solo MMR is a player's rating that determines their individual skill level in games.

• Party MMR is a rating that takes into account the skill level and teamwork of players in groups.

• Core MMR is the sum of Solo and Party MMR, which reflects a player's overall rating.

Now players have the option to choose which MMR to use depending on the game mode they are playing in.

Changes in MMR System and Team Play

Party MMR

For most Dota 2 players, playing with friends has been an excellent way to show off their skills and hard work in games. However, without party rankings it was just for fun without a real competition or target achieved. Thus when Valve finally released a Dota 2 patch introducing party ranking after such a long wait, everyone felt emotional. Now there is a reason for players to play together: this will help them improve their teamplay and rank as well as to be better than others.

Solo MMR

There is a lot of attention being paid to solo MMR because many players play it. Solo ranked players have had several changes in game events that affect the course of the game and MMR determination with the patch 7.33. First, solo players do not need to play many games or always win just to lift their MMR. Instead, the new system considers match results as well as individual player performance individually. This means that even if his team loses a player can get more him rating. There have also been some changes in matchmaking itself which enables plays find opponents fast enough depending on their ratings and skills.

Dota has become more of a team-based game since there are new objects for capture. The map has seen an increase in the number of objects that need to be controlled like 12 additional creep camp spots, watchers and Lotus Pools; two more runes were added: Wisdom Rune and Shield Rune. Consequently, these items must now be captured/controlled by teamwork whereas they must be used better than your opponents’.

Another important change is team balancing system. Therefore, this implies that individuals who are used to playing alone during lobbies will have to learn new techniques when adapting to them.

Matchmaking for Immortal rank players has been reworked into drafting where two captains choose from pool of 8 participants in lobby play. If something went wrong, you brought it on yourself.
