I mean, if you can write this, then thanks, you saved me some time and energy. No point in discussing anything with you if you believe in this.
The absolute best MMR bracket includes 20-50 players, pros and most hardcore semi-pros who got lucky with the meta. I get matched against those VERY rarely, and as I’ve said, most often at the beginning of the months.
Heck, you can literally find proof of this in my posts bragging about highrolling into top 100 and playing against them. It’s always at the beginning of a new month, in placement grind.
Take a look at this example:
28 days ago, September 3rd, when I finished my placement and hit top 100 → you can see 3 screenshots of me playing against those pros and semi-pros → and that’s the last time I’ve seen any of them.
I know, 1 example is not a proof of pattern, but the pattern exists and I vouch for it.
The thing is, unlike you, I do play every month, much more than you, so I do have the experience, and this topic is not one where theory and knowledge are available to us, so the only reasonable answer from you should be “Thank you, Altair, for teaching me how things work”, or just don’t answer at all, because you’re just going to write something wrong and stupid.
Soft MMR resets happen every month. It helps people reach higher bracket and play against better opponents. It’s a thing.
