How many wins does it take to rank up in Dota 2?

4 min read

Only winning Dota 2 matches will earn you MMR. In order to improve their total MMR, players must win more games than they lose. You could just be in the rank range that is most suited to your current Dota 2 skills if you feel trapped in a given MMR bracket in Dota 2. Dota 2 is a constantly changing game, thus learning more about it can help you win more games.

The 5th ranked season was the last in Dota. Now MMR is reset only at the request of the player. Once a year, we can activate the recalibration; after ten games, you will get a new rank. We have made an approximate table so that you always know how much MMR is needed for a new rank.


On average, it takes 150 points to reach a new star, which is essentially equivalent to five game wins. For a win without a party, they give 30 MMR, in a party - 20 MMR. The exact amount is charged for a loss. It will take 770 points to upgrade an MMR from a knight to a hero, just like a sovereign to a deity.

How many wins does it take to rank up in Dota 2?

Compared to the previous system, the number of points for ranks has not changed much on average:

  1. Herald - 50-70 MMR more for an up star;
  2. Guardian - 30-100 MMR more for an up star;
  3. Crusader - 50-100 MMR less for an up star;
  4. Archon – 20-220 MMR less for an up star;
  5. Legend - 200-320 MMR less for an up star;
  6. Ancient - 260-400 MMR less for an up star;
  7. Divine - 180-500 MMR less for an up star.
     

If you want to boost your rank you have to follow the next tips:

  1. Try not to play every hero. Instead, become good at a few of them;
  2. To spot places where you can improve, review both professional matches and your personal replays;
  3. Keep a cheerful attitude and try not to lose it. If you're upset, refrain from starting a new game queue;
  4. Keep the lines of communication open throughout a game with your teammates;
  5. Think about consulting a coach. If you're having trouble seeing your own gaming errors, maybe a second pair of eyes might shed some light on the situation.

 

The border will change depending on the world averages: now if you go down more than one star from the current rank, your medal will change. Valve is also at war with abusers: every player in a party that includes a Divine and Immortal rank player will be matched equally to the highest rank in that party. 

 

Earlier, Dataminers found references to new items in Dota 2 files that may be added to the game with the next update. On the DOTA_DM Telegram channel, a piece of the list of changes to the test client has been shared.
