Me and my friend decided to come back to heroes of the storm and play some ranked
Last time my friend played ranked he was ranked in high masters and beforehand he was rank 1 (in the old ranked system)
For some reason, the MMR system has decided to drop my friend all the way to silver without giving him a fair opportunity to climb back without having to play hundreds of games with a very high winrate
I do understand the decay mechanism behind it but in games like Overwatch2, Starcraft2 and League of Legends the system comes in your favor and give you big ranked points gains and small ranked points losses for a well performing player helping him get back his original rank quickly
Why in Heroes of the Storm the system does not come in your favor even in the slightest like all the other games?
Even with a very high winrate and a very impresive performance you still consistently get 200 ranked points
If you were to do the same in games like sc2, ow2, LoL and valorant you would find yourself climbing very quickly and effortlessly
In addition, me and my friend got ourselves smurf accounts and even though we had a winstreak of 10 when we first got our accounts, even though we maintain a winrate of 80%, we still got only 200 Ranked Points, and we started in low silver and not normal ranks like platinum
If you were to win 10 games in a row in placements matches in Overwatch you would immediately start in the Master rank, if you were to do the same in League of Legends you would have the MMR of diamond
Why does this happen in Heroes of the Storm? can’t the game come in your favor?
Why is it required to invest an enormous amount of time when clearly you do not belong in the rank the system puts you in?
Think of the players in the enemy team who have to suffer against higher level players
Please look into this issue and fix it, Heroes of the Storm is the only game which does not award you for good performance, high winrate and large winstreaks
Thank you
