    According to OpenDota's site, the average MMR has been increased.
    Archon 4 (and 5) is in the top 50-55% percentile, which is 3 to 3.4k MMR.
    According to 3 different sites, the top 50-55% percentile was 2.4-2.6k mmr before the update.

    Also, with so many complaints about 7k and 6k's being dropped almost a thousand MMR points, I guessed that the same thing happened to alot of 4k mmr players (though probably on a smaller scale, like 500 mmr).

    Despite that, I don't feel as though DotA's average MMR has risen THAT much. Maybe in a couple of weeks, OpenDota's charts will average out a bit better. I guess the majority of players to re-calibrate quickly are those who take DotA a little more seriously, resulting in an higher averages for now.

      Does OpenDota only have access to public profiles? If so it's skewed upwards. The true 50th percentile is probably a bit lower in that case.

        Opendota's data is biased.

          It's skewed to the right because a lot of 1-3k players wouldn't really be proud enough to show their MMR anyway.
