    I created a smurf to play carry so I could see my MMR on carry instead of support.

    Naturally I have to level to level 20, so I assumed I would have to climb from the starting hidden Normal MMR.

    My first game was truly against 1st time players, my second game seemed not so much like that but was skill at Normal Skill. Then my 3rd game was a high skill game (and it felt like it), my 4th aswell. Then in my 5th game I got VHS.

    My question is, for new accounts, is the Normal MM MMR different than the normal +/-25.

      ofc. it jumps faster for the first games.

        Okay, thanks.

        A separate question (semi-related) why would people complain about being the wrong MMR when they could make a new account. And by that I mean they play Normal Matches until they get VHS. If they can hold that VHS until level 20 they then could re-calibrate and be in their 'true mmr'. And if they can't hold that VHS then it's evidence that they are not VHS.

          there is high uncertainty in ur first matches on an account

          people complain about being lower mmr than they should because they are dumb, or deluded

          very rarely is the complainer genuinely better, and this is usually associated with 60%+ winrate in their current bracket
