General DiscussionQuestion about brackets

Match making is a average of all your dota skills

for example a player might be (this is not 100% accurate but it is the general idea of the MM algorithm)

2000 in terms of dota knowlege
4000 in terms of mechanical skill
3000 in terms of map awareness
1000 in terms of proper item choices

so he will be placed in a 2500 match making bracket

so in some aspects it might seem like they are above their MM level they fall short in other aspects

For example, a drow that gets 70/82 cs in 10 mins and evades three ganks will be 2500 MMR if she uses her gold to buy an early bloodstone.

^That's the theory, yes. However, nobody would build bloodstone on Drow, its more like people buildling, E.G: My last game, I had a viper going mid leveling corrusive skin at lvl 1, bought stoutshield, wand and tango, procced to buying a bottle.

Hey man, that level 1 corrosive skin viper did the most hero damage in the game.
