Herald is the first of Dota 2's eight ranked medals and covers 0 to 769 MMR. It is the quietest way into ranked: games are slower, mistakes are forgiven, and you can learn a hero pool without the pressure of a high bracket.
Who buys a Herald account
You are new to ranked
A fresh Steam account has to play its way into ranked first. A Herald account is ready now, so you can start ranked games today and let your real skill move the rating.
You want a relaxed second account
Experienced players use Herald accounts to try off-meta heroes and new roles without risking their main rating.
You play with friends who are just starting
Matchmaking pairs players with similar ratings. A low account lets you queue with newer friends instead of dragging them into games far above their level.
What to check in a Herald account
Every account in the list shows its MMR, medal and stars, behavior score, matches played and ranked status, and most have screenshots. At this bracket the behavior score matters more than the exact MMR: a high one means calmer teammates. Accounts with fewer ranked matches usually climb faster, because the game is less certain about their rating.
How buying a Herald account works
- Choose an account. Use the filters to narrow Herald accounts by MMR, behavior score, price and screenshots.
- Pay securely. The account is reserved for you while you pay — by card, wallet or crypto.
- Get the login. The seller hands the account over after payment, usually within half an hour. The Steam login, password and linked email appear on your private order page.
- Make it yours. Change the password, the email and Steam Guard right away. Support is online 24/7 if you need help.
