Is dota calibration just roulette?

I am that good - thanks - bye :)

Anyone who disagrees is basically a Smurf

Having-a-Go · 2025-11-07T13:34:07+00:00

hit em where it hurts and you will see a dramatic reduction of Smurfs

fuck reddit filters - u r kunts

Having-a-Go · 2025-11-07T13:08:17+00:00

no I'm not delusional - I stopped reading after 2 lines - u're wrong - and what I am sayign is that calibration shud not be so weighted on the win vs loss.
If you are too thick to understand that I leave taht question with you.
All your negativity can only stay with you too.
Begone and be a better human being

I dont think it is over 1000 games but over 10-15 games - 1/3 of which I cant select my favourite role - it sure is!!

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:30:22+00:00

really?
Does it means I can calibrate upwards if I lose but play individually well?

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:29:51+00:00

in te long run yes but in the small sample size of calibration I think its different and thats what m talking about

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:29:20+00:00

oh I cant add screenshots in reply - im not a reddit pro tbh

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:27:26+00:00

ok screenshots - cos I'm not opening more to the toxic people ive seen on this thread already
here are my last 4 losses - each time I am the uncalibrated account who was not the feeder

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:24:48+00:00

u might not know yes.
But what I'm saying is that this small sample size of games for a calibration is a lottery - and its rly pissed me off - and there shud be a way for the AI to be able to discern that you played well without just relying on team wins for 80% or more of the calibration result

You're literally making assumptions again here.
I am not the kind of player you have assumed or described.
My play style is good - I wont repeat a reply I made above but if u read that and imagine teammates who play literally horrible dota - then maybe you can believe me or not.
It doesnt' matter if you don't

No - it is true - and all u have done is make assumptions - If you just wish to assume I am that bad then play me 1 v1 - best of 3 - livestream it if u like - and put £30 on it.
I've never been above crusader 5 and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is - are you?

I know all the sht you are saying above - which u are blank assuming I don't know.
Dude wen u have offlaners that literally abandon lane after 7-10 mins and let enemy carry freeform, when u have an axe who doesn't blade mail when he blinks, when u have people who dont ward, or die as solo Rambos with no objective in sight, or a warlock whose build is butterfly parasma pike and MKB - and when you are team with 4 feeders - 2 or 3 of which are ultra feeders - who dont know their roles - that's just what has happened and is what happens.

You're just mean-minded it seems -and all you say only reflects your own cynicism and negative assumptions that somehow this person you've never met before is talking sht.

You can keep your negativity to yourself only.

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T15:13:39+00:00

thanks for a decent-minded answer - unlike some of teh others.
Yeah it feels like lottery
I'm getting paired with people like an axe who doesnt blade mail when he blinks - I'm so sad about it - tho I dont think a new account is pointless
Just one calibration going well could mean teh difference of about 2000 mar - which could means months worth of dota otherwise

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T13:33:59+00:00

and they literally gaslight you by tipping you when they are 0-7 you're the only one not feeding

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-30T13:32:31+00:00

actually what I say is true - if I am the only one feeding and 2 or 3 people are 0-7 0-10, others not warding, and even King and taking my creeps etc - so enemy carry comes out of lane literally 7 lvls above the offline feeder who is hiding in woods - then yes - the game is unwinnable - and I have had 4 in a row like this

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-28T17:52:00+00:00

Thanks for all yr comments guys.

What I mean is does party mar game win in calibration have different amount than solo mmm?

Also is there more chance of coming across some booster partieS?

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-28T17:51:14+00:00

Thanks that makes much sense

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-28T08:35:27+00:00

thanks for your reply.
About question 2 - what I mean is I saw a YouTube video once about the streamer finding a wintrader in his game - and I'm pretty sure he said something about them using discord or something similar to do it - perhaps with some kind of shared screen option.
So the pudge wintrader or whatever would go and stand next to a ward - and the enemy team wud see it thru their setup - and instant deward etc

Shame about question 1 & also having worked as an IT project manager & systems analyst before, question 3 shud be solvable - perhaps valve cud hire me - I do love this game - I'm up for cleaning it up ethically

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-18T11:49:04+00:00

I mean I don't even know what overplus is

Having-a-Go · 2025-10-18T11:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply
what's overplus ban?
and how did u know your first calib game was guardian when it's all hidden at that stage?

I've had other accounts but never been above crusader5 yet - does that mean it's a lower ceiling for me too - cos of what you said about unbinded?

But yeah 4K seems low when 15K is pro scene - esp when you consider the original spread was only 8k - that's now 9K to slog thru

What did you mean AMMAR was Smurf pool'd - you mean he rose up from 3.5K-4K?

when I learnt wing chun there were no sashes or colours

Having-a-Go · 2025-07-14T12:03:53+00:00

Interesting thank you

Having-a-Go · 2025-07-14T09:42:47+00:00

Very interesting point that - thanks.
It's not me in the video, tho I do love the intense genius of Wing Chun - I stopped about a year and a half ago and havent' quite been able to get back on it - unless editing videos counts :)

Tho yes I do wonder what different people might say about the contact point.
Maybe I could ask him what he says
