struggled to make it out of silver so I stopped playing Mercy.
played Bastion Lucio and Orisa
broke gold and slingshotted to 2350
after that fell all the way down to 1650
had good long stretches of hovering in the 1900s in between
Knowing what MMR is doing isn’t necessary, but it would be nice.
(note: me knowing the MMR formula might actual decrease my overall SR when compared to others)
So you’re 1900 +/- 400. I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I’ve dropped as far as 3500 and peaked as high as 4155 in the past 3 seasons. It happens, and sticking to a single playstyle/hero set when it’s getting you nowhere isn’t doing you any favors.
if we had the MMR formula available, we could be more nimble with our choices about how we play the game
And this is exactly why Blizzard doesn’t provide the details of their property (in addition to it being their property with no obligation to give it to you) - people would try to exploit it like you just admitted you want to.
Play to win, don’t play to pad stats. The biggest hint to why you can’t consistently climb is in the subject - you don’t change, you don’t adapt. Switch off of Bastion when it’s not working. Improve yourself and you will climb, no exploitation needed. If you work to improve yourself you won’t even need to switch off of Bastion, you’ll just outplay everyone as you climb up to Kolorblind’s level.
well um uhh maybe… you should try changing your heroes and playstyles?
you seem to think Moneyball, Steph Curry, Dojos and War rooms are the way of the cheater and angle shooter. If you have a match where you are a 40/60 dog, you are going to play that match differently from one where you are 60/40 favorite. Likewise, a match that is 50/50 will be played differently than the two prior just mentioned.
I can only do my best. Without concise feedback my input can’t be concise.
People somewhat did this with Mercy and Brig.
I don’t think you know what the word ‘concise’ means. Feedback is already concise, and I’d be willing to bet that your “input” is already concise as well. Do more things, raise that APM.
you think MoneyBall and Steph Curry are gaming the system. You don’t know the definition of sport.
I mean, if it’s not working doesn’t that kinda suggest you should switch things up? I know some suggest 1-tricking on stuff like that, but I don’t know that MMR is the problem here. I changed my playstyle a lot recently and pretty much immediately went from gold to plat this season. Whatever you’re doing just isn’t working.
Ppl around you are improving faster than you are.
If you want to climb you have to improve faster than they do.
Its that simple.
I dont so i stagnate & go backwards
if you read the original post carefully, no where does it say anything about climbing above 2350sr. It’s about my journey in between 1650 and 2350 and having to feel my way around.
If I wanted to increase my SR I would post VOD reviews or something.
All you have to do is improve your gameplay. Either improve your Bastion one-trick game, or improve other aspects of your gameplay like learning when to switch your hero or tactics, learning maps and health pack locations, improving your game sense, etc. You can climb, you just have to work at it.
basketball players don’t deserve to know where the three point line is. I understand your logic, but firmly disagree.
I don’t really think we needed any more proof that this is a troll thread, but just to eliminate all doubt…
the topic of the post is that MMR is hidden
And? This is known, no reason to make a thread about it. Basketball has nothing to do with it. Random name drops have nothing to do with it. You spamming about it won’t change anything.
Improve yourself and you’ll climb. You don’t need to see code that you wouldn’t understand anyway to try to exploit. Just get good.
Also, the topic of the post is your SR range. Stay on topic, please.
Jeff says they want feedback on the game via the official forums.
here, I created this post, please redirect all comments about my “climb” to this thread. All about my personal climb through the SR ladder
No thanks. I already told you, on this thread about your SR, how to climb. (Hint: It’s not by one-tricking Bastion with a <40% win rate and refusing to improve yourself or even adapt your play style.)
a 40/60 game versus a 60/40 will be played differently, convince me otherwise.
