5-9k used to be the high to highest MMR from the previous years, but new players kept on coming and average players kept on improving. So what’s the comparison between the skillset of today’s MMR compared to last time? Is today’s 9k equivalent to 5k 6-7 years ago?
Its the opposite. 5k player in 2016 is like 3k today.
Dota is harder than it used to be and players are better on average.
Mmr is more inflated at higher mmrs and deflated at mid and low mmr brackets
Look at EG vs EHOME at TI6, I watched the replay tens of times First, it looked like a good comeback from mega creeps for EG Then, it appeared that EHOME just went 1by1 after getting mega creeps and died without buybacks chasing solo kills while leaving their backline dying without help This mistake can be done by 3-4k mmr players nowadays or even lower Not even in the immortal bracket These are top players playing TI6 tho The skill of the community is 900% higher than it was in 2016
