I always played unranked because of matchmaking anxiety, ranked seens to be more important for a lot of people.
So i'm a guy with 2000 hours in normal skill, that plays unranked for fun and i'm happy that way :)
Wanna have fun---> no rank
Wanna be a pro player or a high MMR tutor or something---> play rank
I dislike playing competitive games solely for the memes and giggles
For me, outplaying people with those little details and thorough thoughts feels way more satisfying, especially when you get that +25
Yeah exactly sometimes idiots on ranked as well, and no i been quite enjoying as well on ranked but now i just getting that fact its propably better to play unranked since i playing about 1-3 games per day mostly.
unranked is the most retarded thing I've ever played, it used to be ok like a year ago, but now it's full of retards that want to go 5 mid or just get 2 junglers, it's so unenjoyable to play and everyones fucking toxic. I always get some dogshit smurf who goes mid and feeds 2-15 in 10 minutes. It's so fucking full of toxic smurfs it's insane.
i want to go back to normal (like 4000 games in it) instead of losing every ranked game with egotistic children but all the normals have sweaty smurf accounts with 200 gpm on them
Unranked isn't what it used to be man.. its FILLED to the BRIM with <lv 10 smurfs
i wonder why BibleThump
Solo unranked is like sticking needles into your dick, avoid that shit like the plague. Either 5 man unranked and smash shitters with the occasional hard game vs other stacks or go solo ranked/ranked duo queue, anything else is about as fun as getting raped in prison.
Unranked is fucking aids, Everyone literally just waits for the timer to run out just so they can counter pick at the last second
unranked 3-5 stack games are really quite fun. if youre going to play solo just go ranked.
im not sure about smurfs in unranked, as long as your in a party with non-smurfs i havent had to deal with many of them.
Imo: party unranked > party ranked > solo ranked > Low Priotiy > solo unranked.
I think the only difference between ranked and unranked is the people from ranked rage quick and often than unranked.
I used to play solely unranked, when I was 1.5k and I had fun, however I missed that challenging aspect to the game, cause in unranked the second you hear that "all pick" someone already picked invoker Riki and slark. Also seeing that +25 really makes my parents proud
depends on your drug.
me i get high on adrenaline in competitiveness.
unranked gameplay is wayyyy different compared to ranked.
ranked players can always play unranked but unranked players can't play ranked matches.
same. I have about 3200 hours on dota from this account, and 98% of that is unranked.
Since I'm now getting matched with high 3k players while I calibrated at 2k, I think I raised my hidden unranked MMR by 1500 XD
I don't play ranked bcuz I've never had a reliable internet
i am trying having fun play dota with my 1.5k mmr eventhough
1.5k MMR so frustrating coz noobs all around the world
1.5k is easy to win but cancerous, I feel you
I hate having to 1v9 carry nearly every single game in 1k with no teamwork here and there although I win alot
Learn how to last hit
Learn where to last hit
Learn when to last hit
Be disciplined
Learn how to itemize
Never rely on your teammates
Be the reliable teammate
My tips is better because i just got out fresh from 1k. A question for you. Would you sacrifice your fun for 2k or not because i got a trick that can make you get a lot of mmr but you will get bored after a little while
Know your hero's power spikes and enemies' weakness/weak points
Fuck them while they're not on their max potential or they're on their downtime (example = enemy AM gets shat on early game, snowball as 5, take map control, eat both jungle, get rosh, gg push after aegis)
Me and fx basically breezed through 1k with the same trick
Farm -> take objectives -> dont be retarded -> win
So the general consensus is that unranked is shitty for blue stars but really nice if u r normal skill. Hmm. Guess if u try that hard in ranked anyway why would u like unranked right ?
More details from me. Go farm jungle and only ONLY TP WHEN YOUR TEAM IS FIGHTING NEAR TWR OR SHRINE AND YOU THINK YOU WILL WIN THAT FIGHT otherwise just go farm your item and dont take fight.
Hero i use if you are blind to see my name:luna

Years ago when i start to play this game i played also ranked games after while...did like 60games and gave up than i been playing unranked for like 2000 games and i had a lot of fun, but not long time ago valve allow players to recalibration, so i started to play ranked again till now, but as recreation player i feel now bit tired from all the try hard.I think i coming back to unranked to see if i can enjoy that more, anyone similar story or opinions?
