Questions about Divisions in dotabuff hero rankings in General Discussion

    At what point (mmr threshold) does Diamond 10 start?

    Also, afair it is written in FAQ that divisions represent average difficulty of the games on given hero. Can a match be considered to be easier due to someone abandoning it and therefore have negative impact on Division?

        I thought about that as well...

        Like, imagine you're playing WK and enemy team picks 4 heroes with mana drain, buys 2 diffusal blades and 2 necrobooks - basically plays solely to counter you to oblivion - does that increase the difficulty you faced as this hero in that game?
        Probably not right. So what exactly does affect the difficulty rating?

          all i know is that i was diamond 10 in all but since they changed the lp system ive been dragged to platinum 6!

          cause i spend around 50% of my matches in LP and dotabuff COUNTS THEM

          plz do

            ^ uncheck public match data for ur LP's and profit?

              It's odd how it works, I was diamond 10 on a lot of my heroes, now it doesn't get past 7/8 which is unusual cause I am not even stacking a lot.

              I think like what Benao said where it can't isolate where you're playing solo, or playing in a high tier stack so it assumes cause you're in LPQ/High Skill a lot the you must, by definition be a lower skill player and it knocks your over-arching bracket down even if you're in solo queue.

                Would be nice if someone from db administration give a comment with precise info on how it works.

                  @Havoc - I presume DotaBuff uses a system that tracks (several of the most possibly) recent games on particular heroes and with the power of statistics, looks at the correlation between how you perform and the opponents you face and puts you into a particular percentile.
                  I have only seen this as the case when playing heroes that you rarely do and coming back when in a higher skill bracket and winning on them again. Of course this is conjecture since it is one observation.
