90,000 smurf accounts banned does not stop them from creating new ones. There are 1 billion Steam accounts. What is 90,000?
Playing Dota 2 is like playing in a casino; you play against the house. Houses always win. The probability is set so that it keeps you playing nonstop.
If you have not noticed, Dota 2 makes you keep playing by matching you against good players when you win and pairing you with good players when you lose. The objective is to give you enough dopamine to keep playing. They will start pairing you with players who keep disconnecting after your winning streak. Sounds familiar?
The only way to increase your MMR is to hand-pick players to form a team.The hard part is getting everyone to be committed.
It was my observation that if you pay Dota 2 enough, they will let you win for a period of time. The algorithm is set so that you will keep playing and keep paying. Last year there was a change in the market, and as such, you might have noticed a bunch of your friends and yourself losing a significant amount of MMR. This happened because of the sudden boost of highly skilled players flocking to Dota 2 from events.
After all, it is obvious that Dota 2 is free for a reason, and 40 million worth of price pool during internationals is also a reason. 40 million is only a small part of the total revenue. We have all been controlled, not by humans but by AI, since a long time ago.
Sometimes the Dota client only asks you to do a 50 MB update, but not your friends; it is time they switch the winning probability. After which, you will start to win, then lose, then win, then lose.

The median in the Dota 2 ranking is between Crusader and Archon. Many players are stuck at this rank because the algorithm is set there. If you are at this rank, you will very often play against accounts that originated from Ancient to Immortal. When you get a chance to play in the Ancient, Divine, and Immortal brackets, you might realise that their game is so much more enjoyable as the skill differences between players are less drastic.
The people behind Dota 2 added a redundant variable that pairs you with weak players when you are strong and strong players when you are weak, which destroys the eco system and the real reason for the Elo rating. They think they have come up with a brilliant system to catch smurfs, but they have added redundant agony for good players trying to climb the ranks. The real Elo rating system only works when there is no external manipulation of matchmaking. Dota 2 developers totally defeated the purpose of Elo ratings by adding the variable to match players this way.
Official match-making criteria are: the highest-skill Radiant player should have close to the same skill as the highest-skill Dire player. This totally defeats the purpose of MMR. The reason being, you can be of the same MMR but extremely different in skill. Based on this analogy, MMR does not depict your skill. The better you play, they just make sure the better you lose the following game.
