MATCHMAKING WITH CONFIDENCE
Matchmaking Rating (MMR) is really just made of two numbers: Rank and Rank Confidence. Your Rank is an estimate of your skill, and your Rank Confidence is our confidence in that estimate. When you play a match, we adjust your Rank based on whether you win or lose. Your Rank Confidence also goes up, because now we have more data.
Before we continue, if you are looking to unlock your highest rank in this new season, you can place order here. Simply select your previous medal and number of games that you need.

GLICKO NEW RANKING SYSTEM
Now calibration is changed into confidence. You need to have 30% confidence to unlock your MMR. If you confidence is 28% you just need 1 game to unlock your medal.
Important note: 2% confidence is given when you will win the game and 1% confidence is given when you lose the game. Your last game is very important for you to not just win, but play better. People are getting +100 to +1500 MMR if all games are won with high skill.
Now let’s talk about per rank points you will get after unlocking the medal. It totally depends on your gameplay, you can get +40 to +10 depending on how you play in game. The same is the case if you lose. Many players are using our service to unlock their rank, you can use our Dota 2 calibration service to complete your confidence up to 30% to get a higher rank!
To address this, we’re switching to a different algorithm called Glicko, which should let you quickly and accurately get matched with other players at a similar skill level. On the math side, Glicko lets us better factor a player’s Rank Confidence into our calculations, resulting in more accurate decisions about Rank gains and losses.
The switch to our new matchmaking system will feel a little like the start of a new matchmaking season:
- All players will be placed back into a short calibration mode, initially seeded by their previous rank.
- Calibration is no longer a fixed number of matches. Instead, a player is considered calibrated whenever their Rank Confidence is above a certain threshold.
- Upon calibration, it is likely that you will end up with a different medal than you had before. However, even if your medal changes significantly, you should expect to be matched with players of a similar skill level.
- Matches will no longer have a fixed MMR gain/loss. It will be variable based on a number of factors, including the Ranks and Rank Confidence of the participants. However, we will cap the gain/loss per match to prevent particularly negative outcomes.
- A player’s Rank Confidence will slowly lower over time if the player does not play matches.
We’ve been running both matchmaking systems simultaneously behind the scenes for a while now to help us build confidence in these changes. We understand that accurate MMR is only one of many factors that impact match quality, and like all changes in this space we’re interested in hearing your feedback.
After every several months, valve starts to recalibrate the MMR (Match Making Ranking) of Dota 2 players to get more specific in matchmaking. If you are familiar with the modern rating system of Dota 2 or any other game then it’s simple for you, but it can be confusing for players with little to no experience.
Players who are back in Dota 2 after years of break, then their Dota 2 MMR Recalibration 2023 must be activated automatically on their accounts. It’s probably a big mistake to recalibrate your MMR before even practicing in unranked games, and get familiar with the new neutrals items, hero’s abilities, map awareness, and much more.
Most of the players got de-rank after the last recalibration session. if a player’s medal was ancient with 5 stars, they got de-ranked to legend or archon with 3 or 4 stars because when it comes to ranking players, valve constantly tests new methods, and new implementations also shake up the game. The ranking system of Dota 2 is way more different than it was 2 years ago.
If you want to sit where you were before the last calibration as the valve de-rank many players then recalibration is the fastest way to do it. Players can climb 500-800 MMR in the process of recalibration. Here’s everything you need to know about the MMR recalibration 2023. Just follow some tips and tricks to climb up to maximum MMR.
MMR-BOOST is providing 80% win rate on Dota 2 calibration boost service. If you need to unlock your new medal with our service, make sure you check out our prices.
Tips & Tricks for Recalibration
Learn how to counter-pick heroes. The probability of winning the game will be increased to 60% if you counter your enemy heroes. Keep in mind that, counter-picks doesn’t mean you pick a hero who you are bad at it. If a counter-pick strategy fails, then you can counter your enemy with help of your itemization build.
For example, if you are playing PA, and the enemy team picks a ghost scepter then they can be countered just by making a nullifier on PA. Always, follow the meta. If no one picking Invoker in the pro scene apart from some guys that have 2k games on the hero, you’re probably doing a big mistake picking it in your bracket. Get a good connection between what is good and what is not.
Don’t flame a guy who’s been flaming you, mute and play regardless. So many people in the 3K bracket just talking and talking about stuff totally irrelevant to what your goal is in the game (winning). What happened 20 minutes ago, happened 20 minutes ago, learn to let go and play on.
If you are good at mid in your bracket then alchemist is a good option for you. Since you’ve got a high gold advantage in the game, you can farm and push the lanes and make space for your carry. Also, you can play OD at mid, astral your enemy hero, and deny his/her creeps in order to win the lane.
Learn when your hero peaks in strength. You’re playing mid? When you’ve got items, then Probably it’s time to go fight or push the lanes instead of sitting in the jungle. When You’ve got a scepter on Slark, It might be time to go find some pick-offs instead of being in the jungle. Again, try to be mindful about when your hero is strong and try to abuse it.
When you are playing core, and your supports not buying wards then you should buy them. It’s just 80 gold. Pinging and flaming your supports to buy wards, and ruining your team morale is not worth it. Spend 80 gold, it’s much better than ruining team morale. We can tell you this by experience that 80 gold won’t ruin your item’s timing.
Mid or feed? Playing just core isn’t the only way to win Dota. when you learn how to counter-pick heroes, you can be useful with any hero at any point if your plays are skillful. Don’t be egoistic. Always try to learn some things about the game you are playing. The best to understand the meta and counter-picks strategy is to watch games of pro players and understand what they are going.
Watch kuroky or sneaking gameplay if you want to improve yourself as position 5 and learn how to control the lane from them. When you got an idea of what to do in the games, then the chances of losing will be minimized.
MMR Recalibration Date 2023
The new calibration will reset on January 23, 2023. Most of the players will be able to play 10 calibration games in order to unlock the new rank. But for those who have already used the calibration in 2022, they will be able to unlock it after 6 months.
How does Dota 2 Recalibration Work
There are lots of myths about the MMR recalibration system like no matter what’s your rank, if you recalibrate then you always gonna be lower than you were before. But with the new information, 99% chance that is not the case. Pressing the recalibration button on your ID doesn’t reset your MMR. you are still at your current MMR. except for, you can’t see anymore.
Now there’s such a thing as a different role queue MMR means, there’s hard support and soft support MMR, and there’s a carry MMR. Valve really analysis your gameplay during your recalibration games, and provide you a medal based on your skills. So, when I say valve analysis your gameplay it means they set an algorithm for every possible skill a player can make.
Your skills and stats really matter in Dota 2. it assesses your performance relative to the game outcome. For example, physical and magical damage done to your enemies, KDA, building damage, networth, etc. Like it’s supposed to evaluate your overall performance. So, try to play your best heroes when your account is in the recalibration process.
If a player won 10/10 games, he/she will get 500-800 MMR depending on skills and stats. You can predict your medal when you are in the picking phase just by noticing your allies’ and enemies’ medals. Try to win 8 games out of 10 to get your desired medal because when you lose a match in recalibration you’re gonna lose 50-70 MMR in a single match.
While playing recalibration matches, if your medal is lowest in the match then you’ll get 30-34 MMR on a win. On the other hand, if your medal is the highest in the match then you’ll gain 70-90 MMR on a win depending on your skills and how you play the game. Yes! You read it right, you’ll gain or lose double in the recalibration matches. This is why winning the matches in recalibration phrase is the most important thing.
Note: If you come back after not playing for 6 months, you will definitely lose 1k MMR or so. That’s inactivity calibration, it’s rigged to lower your MMR if you haven’t played for a while.
