Does the MMR comp system penalize dps that pop off in the match making system?

You guys are almost all overthinking it.

The matchmaker gives you games designed to have your SR chase your MMR.

If your MMR is 3000 and your SR is 3100, your rank is higher than it should be and that’s when you get worse teammates (other people whose MMR is lower than their SR) and/or harder teammates (people whose MMR is higher than their SR and are ranked lower than they should be).

Also, games just get harder as you climb, that’s just the nature of a ranking system.

SR doesn’t chase MMR by rigging matches, it does it by giving you more points on a win, and losing less points on a loss (assuming your MMR is above your SR). To see this in action, see 3000+ Skill Rating Data and Analysis (now including DCs). Each match is still typically predicted to be fair.
