Hidden Ranking System

Well the MMR system is obviously failing then

What you are doing comes close to complaining why a food manufacturer doesn’t give out the recipe for their products.

If you would know what exactly determines your MMR, you could easily manipulate it.
We saw that years ago, when Mercy mains learned that “Lot of rez = lot of SR”
You saw players only go for rezes, not caring about the outcome of the match much, because one win pushed them forward a lot more than a loss would set them back.

I’m not sure how you could manipulate killing more people or dying less, assuming those are criteria they use. If these criteria are what they think makes a better, more “skilled” player, then what harm would there be in players focusing on improving in those areas? Supposedly, win/loss matters most to their system so you’d have to win your matches.

I literally just gave you an example of how it was abused in the past, leading to bad behavior by players, which affected a lot of matches. :upside_down_face:

In the end, the game is rigged. Nothing short of me being able to personally examine their code is going to change my mind on that. :slight_smile:

Alright buddy.
At least you are not blaming your team for your losses, but the whole system.

I don’t think the game is rigged. The matchmaker is just garbage. Which is worse though?

Hey. Bad players exist. It’s why they have bronze, silver, gold, and plat. Trying to climb in rank in this game is like trying to escape the pit of souls in Hercules. You have to be…a…a god!

Bad players do exist, but perception of what is bad or good is never going to be seen the same from player to player. I would also emphasize that we all have bad days, good days, and days inbetween when playing. Each of our own skill will vary and be influenced by factors like fatigue, physical health, mental health, intoxication, external distractions, internet latency, computer system performance, etc.

Like I said in your other thread, you have to focus on simply improving yourself to deliver more consistent performances across your entire career of playing and not focus on any specific match. You are right about one thing to an extent, you do have to outperform to climb.

Blizzard can maybe focus on fixing their broken system.

Players find loopholes and then abuse it. That’s why its hidden.
