Sell & Buy Dota 2 Accounts – How much is my Acc worth?

How much Money is a Dota 2 Account worth?

How much should a Dota 2 account cost, according to the MMR rank?
Always check if the acccount is calibrated and if it’s core or support MMR or dependent on the single rank, which role perfomance handicaps you have.
Info: The MMR values of a rank group can change over time.

Why Dota 2 Players Buy and Sell Accounts?

Beside Dota 2 smurf accounts, account buyers are the second major problem in the Dota 2 community. If you are a Dota 2 player, you must have seen people calling others “acc buyers”.

So what is an account buyer? Why do people buy an account?
An account buyer is someone who wants to play in a higher matchmaking tier or who wants to be someone different or wants to play anonymously. He is willing to pay the money for it, although he knows that from time to time, Valve is banning bought Dota 2 accounts. Sellers in the end just do it for the money and maybe to see the world burning. 😀

Is it forbidden to Buy a Dota 2 Account?

First of all, it’s legal, it’s a company thing and not a law thing. That means you can’t be punished in real life, but what can happen is that Valve finds out and closes the account forever.

The term legal or not does not fit, it’s not allowed in Dota 2 but of course legal. You will act against Steam’s Terms of Service and the worst thing that can happen is the Dota 2 ban or the Steam account close. Playing on an MMR level you do not deserve will just ruin games… Therefore just don’t do it unless you have a serious reason for it.

Dota 2 Acc Buying Opinion: Should you do it or not?

Are you thinking about buying a Dota 2 account? Think twice please, is it really necessary? If you deserve a higher ranker why don’t you do the work and push your MMR?
Here are some stories why it’s not worth to buy a fresh new Dota 2 account in most cases:

How an Account Buyer ruins Dota 2 Matches:

I used to play with a group of people. We all have a good rank. Of course, we got it because of our skills. But one of us was just an Archon. We did our best to teach him and tried various hero combos together with him, but he always wanted to go mid with the same build. We lost so many games because of this and of course blamed him for that. He thought we blame him because of his rank not because of his skill…

Therefore, he spent a lot of money and bought a Divine 5 account (higher rank than all of us). He was proud of it, now he was higher than us because he thought only rank matters. But the thing is: If you are losing against Herald players and your rank is Divine, you are still not better than the Herald player. The only thing that matters in Dota 2 is the skill.

Once we participated in the Battle Cup, and he insisted on the mid role as usual. He picked Shadow Fiend and the enemy Divine 5 picked Invoker. We already saw the end of the game. Do you know what happened after 6 minutes? Sf was level 3, and Invoker was Level 6. The support tried their best to save the mid hero, but we did not stand any chance…

Later on, he started playing on his real account and was shameful of his acts… 😀

For those kind of players, I recommend the Dota 2 beginner guide, instead of buying accounts.

More Reasons why it’s not worth to Buy a Dota 2 Account:

• If you bought that great account and jump into the games you will only lose. One lose after another, trust me. You will panic and berserk to get any win and finally find yourself in the situation to quit Dota 2 or to use your main account again.
• You will lose your money forever. Nothing more to say about it, there are definitely better investments, what could you buy for the same amount of money?
• You could lose your account: Valve always gives priority to the user experience. Account buyers are hurting that experience. Valve is adding multiple authentications on the accounts and tracking the locations of the accounts. Whenever there is a massive change in the location, Valve requires mobile authentications and several other information from the account holders. Moreover, some frequent updates that keep identifying whether an account is bought or not. When it is verified, the account is banned. Ultimately you will lose your account, your money and the most important thing is, you have not learned anything.

How can I identify an Account Buyer in Dota 2?

Dota 2 ranked matchmaking is dependent on the MMR system. Your allies and enemies are chosen according to your rank.

For example, if an account buyer has bought a Divine account and facing consecutive defeats, his/her rank would not reduce in a short amount of time, but the MMR does:
If you are a Legend player and see a Divine or Ancient 5+ player in your or enemy team, then congratulations – you are having an account buyer in the match. Get ready for the fighting conversation, endless blame, and trash talks… 😉
