We NEED a full MMR reset since there’s so many new players, or players switching from console to PC and not knowing what they’re doing.
Comp is unbearable to play, I would rather wait 20 minutes for a good match then get in a game within 5 minutes and get in with a team who doesn’t know their lefts from their rights. PLEASE FIX COMP.

Problem is… you think comp is unbareable now… reseting MMR would make you uninstall.
How you going to feel when half your team is legit bronze players against a team with a few GMs just because no one has MMR set yet.
Why would they throw away 10 years of data that they are happy with being a reliable metric for matching players, when all it would do is cause chaos for a few months and make the game literally unplayable for some.

Fine because there would at least be a good excuse for it. Currently we have the same thing happening but without an excuse.
Let’s all go back to bronze and see who can actually climb out and who deserves to stay there.

We don’t though. The only way for that to happen is for a legit GM player to buy a bronze account, or hard derank. Both are relatively speak quite rare occurrences. Most legit GM players just want to play in GM with people that can actually play the game.
But it is quite funny that you’d be happy to have it… but are unhappy about it happening in your head now.

I was there for season 18 launch of overwatch 1. High ranked players would just easily find each other (its super easy to spot other high ranked players during an MMR reset) group up, and stomp low ranked players.
It was a blast, but it does nothing for competitive integrity and would make things volatile for longer. Also, console overwatch players don’t suddenly have a bad understanding of the game lol. Ive seen console players do better with mouse and keyboard than i do in less than 2 weeks after swapping over.

So was I
And? This is a valid strat so what’s the problem?
I agree
It completely fixed competitive integrity until they reverted it.
No pain no gain. The storm must be weathered in order to make competitive great again.
In qp they are always the biggest throwers from my experience. I’d imagine it’s no different in comp.
Its not about it being valid, its about that outcome being the exact opposite of competitive integrity. People already complain about mismatched skill levels, but it was legitimately that bur 10 times worse. There is nothing about sandwiching every skillrank that increases competitive integrity. Please explain how an MMR reset does anything to restore competitive integrity.
Except, people already complain about how it is now, and nothing shows that this system would end up with any more competitive integrity than it currently does. It arguably have less competitive integrity because it has to resort everyone when almost everyone is where they already belong if they play enough.
Where do you have any evidence for that?
I’m afraid that after this, if you die to my Mercy and get teabagged by her, your psyche won’t be able to handle this.
Because a third of that data is thrown off by all the hackers throwing off all the metrics.

“all the hackers” sure 
i keep hearing mmr is tied to rank so mmr=rank for matchmaking. i don’t see why resetting mmr would make any difference as it’s tied to your rank, and so they use your existing rank anyway
They don’t use your rank. They use MMR.
Which is why the rank resets are pointless. Because you get a “predicted” rank for 10 games, then it just puts you in the rank that aligns with your MMR. (Rank resets are purely an engagement baiting tool, and people should demand they stop doing it).
Resetting MMR would bin all that and start every one with no MMR. Games would be an absolute mess for months. Unless, it went back to “win x quick play games to unlock ranked” again. At which point, you’ll probably just end up at the same MMR again (after all that’s your skill level), and it would have all been a complete waste of your time .
In short. Resets are utterly pointless and would do nothing but make the game borderline unplayable for a lot of players.
However, If you wish to reset your account, just start a new one. You don’t need the game to do it for you.
They are soft resets which affect the volatility (uncertainty) of both your rank and mmr. Meaning they make your placements and the next 10 or so games after count for more than normal.
For example, every win/loss during those games might be worth +/- 50 SR instead of the regular 24 or so.
MMR can also try to pull you in one direction or another when it is not correctly aligned with your rank. For example, I had a loss followed by a win earlier this season with a net gain of around 40% SR.
I agree the predicted rank is pointless and should either be removed or made more accurate. It basically tells you what rank you will get if you lose all of your remaining placements. Instead of assuming a 50% win rate for the remainder which is far more likely.
But Blizz seems scared to hurt anyone’s ego by putting them in a rank less than what was previously predicted. Another EOMM tool.

This one was. Previous weren’t.
There is no thing such as a hard rank reset. The rank: soft resets and it should have with the new season. The new matchmaking and ranked games are completely broken. I have lost 4-5 ranks from Plat 1 to almost Gold 1. Something is weird and I am not the only one.

An MMR reset isnt gonna do anything tbh. They’ve done them before but things always go back to being garbage. It is the matchmaker itself that is borked. Until they fix the root cause (the matchmaker), games are always gonna end up lopsided.
In your opinion, why would someone who was Platinum 5 as a support in Season 17, didn’t play last season, and is now ranked Platinum 1 without winning any of his ten games
Until last season, they’d never done any sort of MMR reset. This was the first time, and it was just a very soft one.
Rank resets are just totally pointless though, I agree. They do nothing and are only done to engagement bait.
Qp aint much better the game is just bad
i agree with this
but also gotta say the match maker is so bad apex legends is better, and it had scientific process prove it was intentionally horrible
