Comp since release TRASH!

There is a good thread in the Competitive subforum which kind of summarized a lot of known information on the visible SR and the hidden MMR system.

@Kaawumba-1133

MMR is a (hidden) number that goes up when you win, and down when you lose. How much it goes up and down is a complicated formula, based on many factors, but the essential truth of wins are good and losses are bad is certain (4).

That MMR is then used to match people with and against people of similar MMR, in an attempt to create a 50% match (32). Here is the key part:

If a player’s MMR is wrong and too low, then the odds to win will be greater than 50%, and the player will win more games than he loses, which will cause his MMR to rise over many games played. He will then be placed with stronger and stronger opponents (and stronger and stronger allies) until his MMR is correct, and his win percentage approaches 50% (with some random oscillation around 50%) (7).

Once a player finds himself trapped in a rating range, the only way to break out is to improve as a player and play enough games to overcome any random factors (47, 48 at the end).

It is like that. Preformance based sr is what they call it. Everyone below diamond will have their gains and losses determined by their preformance in game.

Thanks for the link, but note that I update it every season. The current version is here: How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 13).

If you are ever trying to find the current version, google usually works.

[Kelvan-2147]

Thanks for your correction, I edited it to link to your actual thread, also let me say it is very informative.

Are there any proofs? Or just rndm guessings

[Trando-11488]

Yikes man tone it down a bit.

I disagree, I had a little trouble around the quad tank meta and the current season is a little rough but that’s about it.

[SunsetHippo-1757]

also, that is like your opinion, man

[Unnamed-2417]

If you don’t mind me asking, what rank are you? Because if you’re anywhere below 3000SR then the amount you gain or lose is based on your performance.

And your performance is mostly based on how lucky you were at the matchmaker lottery. In gold/plat on EU server ou are rolling the dice 80% of your games.

[Player-231165]

Yeah that’s exactly how a es port mm game has to be. Gj Jeff. A monkey could do it betther

[Quarters-11687]

just say it like it is… whitout a team you dont have to play comp… even if you join team chat and the first thing you hear is a 9yo child im done whit this game… blizzard dont want toxic ppl? kick the kids! but hey wait maybe they buy loot boxes whit momys credit card

If this is the kind of attitude you take with you into games, then this game isn’t for you.

[Player-231165]

If you wanna deal. Whit 9 yo kids then gg

[HintOfMalice-2431]

I mean, sure, if you’re a healer and your Rein is charging to instant death every time then you’re going to have less healing done than you otherwise would, but if you’re still trying to heal/get assists you’re going to lose much less than if you decide “We’ve lost anyway, I’m going to play Torb and unbind my left click key”

true… overwatch is horrible atm… fun sseing it going down the toilet

[TonyMantella-1205]

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Player is in the right here, but saying all gold medals have no meaning is simply just wrong.

[Diva-21778]

it just means he did more than others if he had 4 and lost same amount of points like the afk one… that proofs how bad machmaking is

[TonyMantella-1205]

In gm I lose way more than I gain. If I win three games and lose two, I’m barely above what I started at.
