What is MMR in DOTA 2?

Matchmaking Rating, or MMR is a value that determines the skill level of each player. This value is used in matchmaking. Winning increases a player's MMR, while losing decreases it.

Ranked Matchmaking allows players to earn seasonal ranking medals based on their MMR. Players with the highest ratings are listed on the world Leaderboards.

Calculation

• The exact calculation for earning medals is kept secret by Valve and may change over time.
• This page only reflects rough estimates based on community observations. Please discuss any proposed changes on the talk page.
• MMR is not the only factor in determining medal rank.
• MMR will not always match up with their estimated medal.
• It is normal to be a few hundred points off from the numbers given here.
• It is possible for some players to receive medals far above their MMR, because:
  • Medals cannot decrease in rank even if they lose many games.
  • The player has multiple Steam accounts.
  • The system remembers and judges player performance based on their peak skill level, not their current skill level. This is a common mechanism in competitive games to combat smurfs and intentional derankers.
• Medals are earned based on the highest skill level obtained during the season and will not decrease for the remainder of the season.
• Both solo and party ranked MMR is considered when determining medal ranks. Solo MMR plays a larger role.
• Divine ranks can only be earned through solo MMR.
