50% winnrate bullcrap

Blizzard has all the data, and refuses to release it.

What “data” do you want them to release? Because they’ve already quite explicitly addressed this conspiracy and why winrates gravitate towards 50%. And yes, winrates do in fact gravitate towards 50%. Naturally.

Plz explain the 50% win rate to me

I’m not an engineer, but I can take a crack at this. The forced 50% win rate discussion is weird and complicated because it’s both true and not true at the same time, and people often inject their own biases very heavily on games to support what they think is happening to them, usually to assign blame for a loss to an external source (in this case the matchmaker) because it’s an easy thing to do (the matchmaker can’t defend itself after all!). First, let’s discuss what forced 50% isn’t. Force…

Pay special attention to this paragraph:

@AZJackson

Forced 50% isn’t the matchmaker putting potatoes on your team because you had a win streak. Frankly it’s hard enough just to find good games that there’s no way we would program such a thing, and there is no incentive for us to. We are incentivized to find matches of equally skilled players in our games because they are the most fun overall, which is what the matchmaker always tries to do.

No, but was all lies. Of course. You want the real data. You want Blizzard’s super-crazy top secret hacker data that proves all your points right and says everyone who disagrees with you is dumb, and the only reason you lost any game EVER is because of all the dumb people!

Well, keep searching.
