What do the Dota 2 ranks mean in the context of individual unranked games?
Posted On: August 10, 2023

When I look at my matches on https://www.dotabuff, I see that it includes ranks like Archon, Crusader, Guardian etc. with each game.


However, all these games are unranked (and I have never played a ranked game before) so what is the significance of it?


Question from user NeRoboto at stackexchange.


Answer:

These are the average ranks of the lobby you played in.


There might be other players in your lobby who were ranked and based on your gameplay they are assigned a virtual rank.


Unranked uses a hidden MMR for unranked players to map them against similar players (I think).
