Explain how MMR is fair...you can't

Let’s talk constructively about this subject and not speculate about personal motives, it doesn’t make sense.

If you really think that MMR is something that can wildly vary from SR, you’re going to need to explain why.

The Devs have to prove it’s not rigged. Otherwise, this game can hardly be considered e-sport. The Devs are also the only ones who can prove anything in this matter. So far they have only proven that they are not interested in making matchmaking more transparent.

The onus is on you to prove that it’s rigged.

Also, e-sports does NOT have randomly generated teams at all. Teams scout and sign players, and if the players can’t perform, they’re out of a job.

Everything Blizzard ever said about Competitive and its matchmaking is compiled here:

How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 15)

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…

People ignore it though, or flat-out say that the dev team is lying, because they want to believe that matchmaking is rigged.
