    I see people like this everyday. People claiming they are smurfs who have >=50% winrate. Is there any satisfaction doing this?

        Hey man , why you care so much about mmr? You realize that metric has no bearing on who you are outside of a video game ? There are 10k mmr players who stream on twitch who don’t make any money and just sit their wasting precious time

        If dota is fun nice, don’t waste your time with a virtual measurement that has the same value of the shit that comes out my ass in reality

            ^^^^^^ this

            a quick look on someones profile is all it takes to tell if they are bullshitting normally but alot of people, particularly in lower brackets, are apes and will give up roles to people who lie about their mmr. I almost always get mid in my solo games for example because I am supposedly an Ancient I.

              Good question. Best answer is probably so then can feel better.

                      Yea look at profile and just call them out. This guy 43% win rate mid smurf lmao.

                      I get called out for being a smurf even though I don’t announce it because of my sick win rates

                        Smurf profiles usually have tons of medal changes in short time

                                      They want to boost their ego and show their supremacy which is a pretty normal thing for human beings
