MMR has unacceptable behavioral consequences. It oppressive tendency angers the player and expects them to deal with it. It creates ticking rage bombs that are significantly more like to have violent outburst and significantly more likely to participate in extreme acts of violence like public shootings

thats only what they will admit publicly. But a strong indication of the more sinister things there doing privately.
No. Because the patents were for manipulating who you were against to expose you to monetization… which at the time had no link to comp.
I am not sure of whatever weird edgy thing you feel like spouting in every thread today (I read a bit of your activity) but please try it somewhere more relevant.

damage control has arrived. How are you? Are you afraid people will know the truth? That it will hurt your profits?

Oh boy, this stuff again.
Companies frequently take out patients to stop others doing bad things. It doesn’t mean they are using them themselves. LOTS of companies have patients they do not use.
You need more than just a patient to show that they are doing this.
The end.

Yes, very. I have built matchmakers as a job.
I understand the state of the industry.
I have gone far. I ALSO understand patients and how often they are used in the companies which have them, and the reasons they get them.
Which you obviously do not.
BUT, if you feel as if they have broken their advertising around their service being a fair competitive sport, then you can sue them.
Enjoy! But, you will need proof.
AND…
so… You would need to do an analysis of how the matchmaker works. And there is plenty of papers showing how to go about doing this.
Go, get good at stats, and go forth!

Hulk. You know all of these are related to PvE content.
In fact, variants of such things are in most PvE games.

For IP protection. Most patents aren’t actually used, and are created from theory crafting.

Yep. You have it in one.
The matchmaking is already rigged. Now it will be rigged just in a different way.

That patent is over 5 years old, and such systems haven’t been added to OW.
So it is clear someone created the possibility and then they patented it with the view to potentially licencing it later down the line to make money.

Why wouldn’t be?
Is it too hard to believe that a corporate would be rigging it for player retention?
