I actually play a lot of "Turbo mode" in DotA 2, everything is 2x gold 2x exp. Games end faster! Towers have less armor and less HP. Games end at 12 minutes for stomps and 20ish minutes for even games

Hmm, is there a ranked mode for it?

[–] arin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It has auto hidden rank you can check your average rank of the mmr in the game afterwards with 3rd party websites

In league non-ranked matchmaking is pretty all over the place. It is also supposed to be mmr based. In a single session i can play vs everything from iron to emerald, how is it in dota?

There's hidden mmr so the game calculates your rank based on your impact in the game, it easily detects smurfs as well. So you just play and you'll end up with people similar skilled in Unranked
