I am 5400 mmr (divine 4) and the people i play with and have been for months now are only 1k mmr or lower. Obviously we do not play ranked, so we do unranked All Pick. Over the months though i can tell they have gotten frustrated playing in my games for unranked due to people being higher above them, usually archon is average in our games with one ancient or divine player thrown in. They are all guardian and i can tell they now avoid playing with me because they just want fair games which i completely understand, so what do i do? I wont lie i have a smurf account but havent played on it since the ban wave, and I never played ranked on it once, i used it for this exact scenario (to play with low mmw friends for fun in ONLY unranked). So i just dont understand what I am suppose to do, not play with them anymore? Like its just extremely frustrating knowing theyre the only dota people I play with but cannot do so much anymore because of my rank.

    this is what premade/custom lobbies are for, honestly.

    i remember when i was a kid/teenager - if i was playing video games online, I was playing with my friends.

    with all the matchmaking/mmr shit… people avoid each other. it’s kinda lame i think. all for waht? forced 50% winrate?
