They have probably deprecated the field, it really is just a relic from before ranked matchmaking even existed that uses hardcoded mmr ranges.
Skill data is no longer available--we should remove it from the UI (and maybe replace with the average medal rank)
Currently on a players page in the match list each match is listed as having an unknown skill.
After reviewing the web repo I don't believe this is a bug. It appears that the field is never populated with any data. I checked the clarity protobuf repo and found something that looked promising called AverageSkill. After extracting the value on a few replays I believe the field is dead as the value is always 0.
I checked dotabuff and iirc they used to have a skill rating associated with every match and now it looks like they are using average rank.
After trying to figure out which protobuf value they are using to pull the average rank I came up blank and was hoping someone else would have an idea on what to do. I think this is a cool stat to have and I would like to have it visible on opendota.
