Not sure why it’s controversial

because you’re effectually illiterate. When people don’t read things, then they don’t understand things related to the reading material.

Plz explain the 50% win rate to me

Its kind of a myth, kind of not. Ideally the mm would tend towards 50% win rate. The issue is how it gets there. If it could make close games that were 50% chance it would be one thing. What happens is they try and average mmr. Lets say your team mmr average is 2k. It will try to make the other teams mmr 2k. If it say takes 3 2k players 1 1500 mmr and one 2500 mmr player to do that iy can be ok the prob is it will give you 3 2k players 1 1k player and one 3k player. Which is bad for b…

this is the topic likely to be cited for “admitting” anything but you are the sort to not actually ever reference anything, so people don’t actually know if you’re full of ‘it’, or actually informed, or just posting contrary things to ‘troll’ the boards. Not that the options matter, this is already too long for you. And it’s not like this is the only game that people have a dev trying to respond to “forced 50” to quote as ‘admitting’ something they didn’t read.

@AZJackson

Forced 50% isn’t the matchmaker putting potatoes on your team because you had a win streak.

@AZJackson

there’s no way we would program such a thing, and there is no incentive for us to.

@AZJackson

win and loss streaks are often what people point to as proof that something’s broken, which is simply not true. If you were to flip a coin 10,000 you would not get heads, then tails, then heads, then tails again over and over. Over those 10,000 times you would get each result half the time overall, but you would see streaks of getting heads or tails.

@AZJackson

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!)

The statement of being ‘true’ does not mean they ‘admitted’ to programming the game for it, it is ‘true’ in that it is what people “experience” as a consequence of matchmaking existing, much the same as it is ‘true’ that people “experience” seeing a black and blue dress appear to be gold and white. However, just because the ‘sensation’ is what happened, does not actually mean that that is the “truth”.

However, it is far easier for people to keep claiming that something is rigged than it is to read 12 words past their imposed limit and consider they might be “wrong” about something.
