    Years ago when i start to play this game i played also ranked games after while...did like 60games and gave up than i been playing unranked for like 2000 games and i had a lot of fun, but not long time ago valve allow players to recalibration, so i started to play ranked again till now, but as recreation player i feel now bit tired from all the try hard.I think i coming back to unranked to see if i can enjoy that more, anyone similar story or opinions?

      I always played unranked because of matchmaking anxiety, ranked seens to be more important for a lot of people.
      So i'm a guy with 2000 hours in normal skill, that plays unranked for fun and i'm happy that way :)

        it s just a game designed for fun

        fun fun fun fun

          Wanna have fun---> no rank
          Wanna be a pro player or a high MMR tutor or something---> play rank

          Ave with an internet pfp

            Am i the only one that have fun memeing in rank lol?

              I dislike playing competitive games solely for the memes and giggles
              For me, outplaying people with those little details and thorough thoughts feels way more satisfying, especially when you get that +25

                  I come across far more idiots in Ranked than Unranked.

                    Yeah exactly sometimes idiots on ranked as well, and no i been quite enjoying as well on ranked but now i just getting that fact its propably better to play unranked since i playing about 1-3 games per day mostly.

                      Unranked - lots of fun & memes

                      Ranked - brain damage & cancer

                        unranked is the most retarded thing I've ever played, it used to be ok like a year ago, but now it's full of retards that want to go 5 mid or just get 2 junglers, it's so unenjoyable to play and everyones fucking toxic. I always get some dogshit smurf who goes mid and feeds 2-15 in 10 minutes. It's so fucking full of toxic smurfs it's insane.

                          i want to go back to normal (like 4000 games in it) instead of losing every ranked game with egotistic children but all the normals have sweaty smurf accounts with 200 gpm on them

                          nigga

                            Unranked isn't what it used to be man.. its FILLED to the BRIM with <lv 10 smurfs

                            i wonder why BibleThump

                            CUTNPASTE

                              Solo unranked is like sticking needles into your dick, avoid that shit like the plague. Either 5 man unranked and smash shitters with the occasional hard game vs other stacks or go solo ranked/ranked duo queue, anything else is about as fun as getting raped in prison.

                                Unranked is fucking aids, Everyone literally just waits for the timer to run out just so they can counter pick at the last second

                                Chadzpyre

                                  unranked 3-5 stack games are really quite fun. if youre going to play solo just go ranked.

                                  im not sure about smurfs in unranked, as long as your in a party with non-smurfs i havent had to deal with many of them.

                                  Imo: party unranked > party ranked > solo ranked > Low Priotiy > solo unranked.

                                    I think the only difference between ranked and unranked is the people from ranked rage quick and often than unranked.

                                      I used to play solely unranked, when I was 1.5k and I had fun, however I missed that challenging aspect to the game, cause in unranked the second you hear that "all pick" someone already picked invoker Riki and slark. Also seeing that +25 really makes my parents proud

                                      I am who I am

                                        depends on your drug.
                                        me i get high on adrenaline in competitiveness.
                                        unranked gameplay is wayyyy different compared to ranked.
                                        ranked players can always play unranked but unranked players can't play ranked matches.

                                          same. I have about 3200 hours on dota from this account, and 98% of that is unranked.

                                          Since I'm now getting matched with high 3k players while I calibrated at 2k, I think I raised my hidden unranked MMR by 1500 XD

                                          I don't play ranked bcuz I've never had a reliable internet

                                          fvcker

                                            i am trying having fun play dota with my 1.5k mmr eventhough
                                            1.5k MMR so frustrating coz noobs all around the world

                                            eclessia

                                              1.5k is easy to win but cancerous, I feel you
                                              I hate having to 1v9 carry nearly every single game in 1k with no teamwork here and there although I win alot

                                              fvcker

                                                    My tips is better because i just got out fresh from 1k. A question for you. Would you sacrifice your fun for 2k or not because i got a trick that can make you get a lot of mmr but you will get bored after a little while

                                                    eclessia

                                                      Know your hero's power spikes and enemies' weakness/weak points
                                                      Fuck them while they're not on their max potential or they're on their downtime (example = enemy AM gets shat on early game, snowball as 5, take map control, eat both jungle, get rosh, gg push after aegis)

                                                        Unranked is for casual noobs

                                                        Everyone knows that

                                                        eclessia

                                                          Me and fx basically breezed through 1k with the same trick
                                                          Farm -> take objectives -> dont be retarded -> win

                                                              So the general consensus is that unranked is shitty for blue stars but really nice if u r normal skill. Hmm. Guess if u try that hard in ranked anyway why would u like unranked right ?
