How does the medal system even work in General Discussion
Héḱmō

    I took a break from dota, won my first ranked game went from
    archon 5 to legend 1 instantly

    after that i played 8 ranked games, won 6 lost 2.

    this week i first lost 2 matches, then won 2 and now i got legend 2.

    That makes no sense? Im the same mmr as i was 4 ranked games ago.

    possibilty 1 (very unlikely)
    -in the 2 matches lost, i got -22 or so and in the 2 matches i won i got +27, gaining 10mmr which maybe was jaut enough to push me to legend 2

    possibility 2 (just dumb)
    - it doesnt even account lost games, it just counts how many you win

    any ideas? i have no clue

      From Archon 5 to Legend 1? I remember when I went from Archon 3 to Legend 5 only in party games, was confused too. My Pre-badge MMR was 4005 btw. There was an update to have a more....accurate badge depending on your skill. I forgot the specifics and when it happened tho.

      Plus, according to gamepedia

      The exact calculation for earning medals is kept secret by Valve and may change over time.

      We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
