Few MMR hacks that none is telling you about
We know that in every competitive game, be it video games or something like poker, there's a ton of "advice" and "guides" out there. Yet there are those secret ingredients that nobody would dare to share, they will rather keep it only for themselves.
But I thought today whatever, let me share with the reddit community stuff that nobody tells you about when it comes to hacking MMR growth in Dota.
This applies to lower ranks (Till Immortal I would say)
Tip #1, do not pick roles that Smurf would pick
We are all aware of the smurf and booster situation in Dota 2. What roles do those play? Pos 2 and 1 mainly. Since there will be smurfs in almost every game, would you rather fight them on the enemy team, or free up one of their slots on your team to statiscally attract them? Queue up 3,4,5. Bonus: very fast queue times so more games played.
Tip #2, when you're running hot on a win-streak. And you will be arleady if you followed tip #1, every 8th or 10th victory, try to intentionally underperform. Underperform. NOT grief. Just less team fight contribution, less last hits, a bit worse k/d/a. The system is tracking your performance. If you keep running like a God, it will put you for 5-6 games in a pool with teammates who have stats like 40% winrate, or worse. Then you will go on a losing streak for 10 games (because then you're alreay tilted), and come cry about forced 50% winrate on Reddit.
Do better. Understand the system. Beat the system.
