    Ranking System Medal Tiers and MMR Dota 2 Explained

    Dota 2 is without a doubt one of the biggest MOBA games in the world. The game has a huge fan base with a lot of events and competitive gameplay worldwide. Dota 2 was also one of the Esports games at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth games. While the players are certainly enjoying the game, some are still confused with the Ranking system. So in this guide, we will explain the Ranking System of Dota 2, and the role of MMR in it.

    What is the Ranking System of Dota 2 and How to Unlock it

    Dota 2 MMR and Ranking System

    The ranking system of Dota 2 is a simple tool used for matchmaking to improve the effectiveness of fair fights. If you create a new account, you will not be able to see this option as there are some criteria to unlock the ranking system. Here’s all on how to unlock the Ranking System in Dota 2:

    • You will have to play for at least 100 hours. There is no dedicated game mode, you will simply have to play for 100 hours before you unlock it.
    • After that, you will have to link a valid phone number to your Steam account. They might verify so be prepared when you do so.
    • Next, you will have to play 10 calibration matches which will have an impact on your Rank. This will be the last phase before you unlock ranked matchmaking in the game.

    Dota 2 Medal Tiers
