ABOUT Dota Is Hard.

We all suck a dota 2 "so just blame it on the russians"

No normal matchmaking system No balance not interesting. Dota 2 is an amazing game, made by an absolutely terrible team. Hasn't been updated in almost a half a year, no community interaction on what's going on, while the only thing that gets added is cash shop items.So when ranked came out I thought i would just play the 10 games, get a number, then probably put it down. Before I began I assumed it would be full of tryhards. I feel like I was mostly correct. It took until last week to get my solo ranking (still have one more party game) and i think I went 7-3
Turns out I am at 2415.
I started reading this subreddit about a month ago, and in almost every MMR post it is agreed that 3k is barely tolerable, and below that is complete hell.
I have to disagree with this. where I am at, sure nobody haz teh Dondo skillz, but you do get mics, English speakers, people willing to cooperate, or at least acknowledge advice. In fact, I've even encountered Russians (obvious accent) who have a rudimentary grasp of English and acknowledge their English isn't the best.
Sure, there is always that one game where you just get ♥♥♥♥ RNG and your team doesn't seem to know what they are doing. Everyone has that.
In the end, I was extremely surprised that this was my MMR, because according to this sub reddit, I should basically be unable to play.

TL;DR Sub 3k MMR isn't really that bad
EDIT: This is actually my first post ever on reddit, so I am surprised at how many responses I got! Thank you everyone for replying.
Second EDIT: So, I've been informed that the 10 calibration games may not actually be all that accurate to where it places you. I will update this post or do another post to show the results. Thanks everyone for having so much input! kind of daunting really.I don't see the problem with trash talking in all chat. I think it's part of anything competitive and usually isn't personal, but more of a heat of the moment type thing. I've had some fun games where me and someone on the opposing team were trash talking each other all game, and at the end we had some laughs as the ancient died exchanged gg's and went on our way, it honestly gets the teams more into the game sometimes because they just want to kill the cocky bastard who's been chirping all game. Of course there are people that are generally mean about it, but it's all part of the game i suppose. Save those reports for people who truly deserve it like trolls or people being racist or feeders.
