I’m not sure how but I think I’ve had the 500 points loss with only 300 gained back (50 each game over 6 games) but I am not sure how this happened or why.

“Blizzard doesn’t force a 50% winrate, they just make sure you only win 50% of your games.”
Glad you joined the party!

ya mean, if you ignore all the other times people have posted those, and get tired of repeating stuff that people are going to read anyway cuz they’d just as soon as think they’re already ‘right’. The sort of people that made bad cases for stuff aren’t going to win a Pulitzer over an ‘argument’ on a game forum.
Funny how people that don’t pay attention don’t bring an ‘actual argument’ but keep demanding everyone else have one instead.

So you just admitted that there are unpromising drafts, therefore making games not a 50% match but rather an uneven show in which your impact has to exceed the negative impact of the bad draft to win the not-in-your-favor match. That’s a natural 50% gravitation, causing MMR~skill failure within the system by means of a local maxima (creating pooling). Glad you agree.
I turned a 50% stable winrate into a virtual ~70% winrate whilst me and my assigned fellow players were steadily going up in rank (within bounds of the stable winrate deviation). That is to say, I threw ~15% of my matches away that I know are going to end in a loss and I did not take a hit. Those matches are lost, or I would have been going down.
Also, 100 games with 15%, gives 1 out of 5 played. So my dodge penalty is gone.
Think less yolo and more experiment setup.
How is that a snarky response? According to the math in your OP, that would be 100% true. Put your money where your mouth is.

I dont understand the “git gut” mentality that people have…
Even if you get better and you start winning the MM will start FORING YOU TO CARRY lower skilled players against higher skilled players, after a point.
That is the problem.
The garantee loss that comes after that. It sucks mostly because the games are terrible and a waste of time and not because we want to win all the time…
Any proof for this or more like a subjective judgement? There are so many topics about this and people still claiming the same over and over, just because they are hard stuck and not being able to admit that it is on their own responsibility. If you get better you will be paired with and against better players too. Thats why you will get to a 50% winrate when starting to face equal skilled players (which is reflected by MMR) after playing hundreds of games. This is how it works. The system is not designed for every player to have a 70% winrate.

You need proof? Go get 3 wins in a row. The 4th match almost garanted to give you aids…
Thats because you will get lower skilled teamates against higher skilled opponents. And its the same if you loose. 4th game easy afk win…
Like i said its not about winning or loosing… Its about playing good games!
Your claims are just not substantiated… I could send you screenshots of my match history. I can tell you it looks pretty random. Sometimes lose-win-lose-win. Sometimes 10 wins in a row or 10 loses in a row (mostly at times I should be sleeping already ;))

More than the system is not design for every player to have a 70% win rate, it is impossible to design such a system in a win-loose set up.
