drums gives +9 to all.
linkens gives +15 to all.
3300 more gold for 6 extra stats is hardly a good idea.
especially when the perseverance could be used on the battlefury instead.

Thats why you see people with huge difference in their mmr even with the same win/loss in their calibration matches.
I dont have any direct source but there are lots of mmr experience examples in playdota.com you can check out.
i dont know how they work it out, but that wasnt the point, the point was that MMR isnt always accurate.
ive played with tinerr befor, and he's not a sub 2.9k mmr player.
as for your description, its still the only point where any real calibration is done. every ranked game i played in gave +/- 23-26 points for wins/losses, regardless of mine or my teams performance.

Nah calibration matches are like normal (only based on win/loss and your/enemy MMR) but they scale much much more, so instead of gaining say 15 points you might gain 150 for a win.

But you aren't focusing them so it's kind of pointless. If there's no follow up physical damage on them then what's the point?

It gives huge advantage to your team.It's like 'buy desol on ember, instead of picking Dazzle'
And if you have another physical damage carry on your team,it is the reason to get deso
