Blizzard STOP lying about the matchmaker

[Vurg-1970]

There’s an exception for balancing matches where some people’s rank got way too high or low

Based on the best documentation I’ve found, that’s a myth:

How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 16)

The rating and matchmaking system is confusing, and a good overview does not appear to be available. The official overview (1, 48) is incomplete and does not answer a number of common player questions and concerns. This information below is gathered from sporadic blue posts and developer update videos, and salted with my own experience and experiments, various forum threads, and watching streams. Note that since Blizzard does not give exact algorithms, I do have to fill in some gaps, or leave so…

They can’t program these factors in.

They could with a role queue and role locking.
