Hello everyone! I’ve been playing Dota 2 for the past 12 years and this game is totally different than LoL, by the time I started, there was not such a thing called rank matches. So as the game kept on growing, they introduced the rank system and made many changes over the years.
Now Dota 2 rank calibration comes after several months or a year and now for the latest Dota 2 ranking system, you have to play around 15 games to increase your rank confidence to 30%. To win these matches calibration matches you have to go through these specific tips to open your rank much higher than before.
I am working with Dota 2 MMR Boosting team at immortal boost and my peak rank is 100 Immortal in this patch. While playing rank calibration matches, always follow these 5 tips to unlock the highest rank possible!
Always Remember
- You have to play 15 Dota 2 calibration games in total.
- Per win grants 80 MMR in the calibration games.
- The Maximum cap is 1200 MMR if you win all the games.
- Your playing hours don’t matter.
- Your total number of matches doesn’t matter.
Choose Your Best Role
- While calibration games always choose the best role and put in the maximum effort, don’t pick random heroes, try to counter-pick the enemies to win the game.
- Spam your best hero according to the role, if you are playing a carry/core role make sure to farm well enough that you carry your team in mid-game or late-game.
- If you are playing support, make sure to stack neutral camps, and ancient camps, put defensive wards to protect your cores, and try not to let them die.
Your Items Matter
- Skills matter but you have to make the right choices for your items to make it.
- Following a guide is the right choice sometimes but try to look at the enemy inventory that what items they have and what you need to make to counter them, for example, the enemy has a dangerous core that just dives in and kills you instantly before you even react and you are playing a support what will you do? In that case, you have to buy Aeon Disk.
- Making BKB / Manta Style should be obvious on the core as he has to go spell immune into the team fights or dodge the spells from Manta. In some cases, you have to make Scythe of Vyse to catch the escaping hero to shut him down.
- Right choices in your items can win you most of the calibration games, you just have to focus and think hard.
Plan Your Match Queue
- Don’t queue your games with people who just want to go random picks or play bad.
- If you face many toxic players and retards in your team then you have to play party games.
- If you are playing party, then play with your professional/collaborating friends. Do not make a random party.
Objective Game
- Do not make a calibration game long because the enemy will get fat, and your chances of losing will increase.
- Finish games fast and get a good understanding of the power curve so that your team is stronger and you can take down the objectives quickly.
- Objectives > Kills
Positive Mental Attitude
- Have the patience to bring the win home every single time.
- Be polite to teammates.
- Communicate with the team for the wards, smokes, ganks, stacks, and pulls.
- If you are playing a solo game and you have toxic teammates just mute everybody during the match, it will help you concentrate on the game.
- Don’t lose hope after you lose a match, have patience and do your best.
- Losing a match triggers your brain to find the next match immediately without even thinking, just stop for a while, get up, and go outside to take a fresh breath or just take a break for some time to relax your mind.
