Grats Squeenix for copying every stupid MOBA ever, right down to their asinine ranking systems and horrible matchmaking.
It's not even a good copy. It's been a hot minute since I last played DotA, but last time I did, the ranking system was just literally standard Elo-based MMR. The tiers and stuff are just window dressing. I don't know why they don't just copy it wholesale. It works perfectly fine. Hide the actual MMR that is used for matchmaking (because it's well known that seeing your number be lower than you believe it to be can be a major discouragement to players) and make it clear that your tier and rank are more of an estimate of how many games you've played and less of an estimate of player skill and ability.
