How about a 2 week break from competitive. QP only to internally re-rank players. After the two weeks, placements based on the data collected in the off period. Players that don’t play during the window must play 50 QP games again. Collect data, re-rank and have them play placements again.
Use zero old data. Reset everyone to 0 for the two-week period. Collect new data, adjust MMR from there. Your system still sucks, Blizzard. It’s better than it was, but it still sucks. You need to do a full reset on rank. My DPS should know how to play corners/angles and high ground. If they don’t, they’re not in the right rank. Most of them don’t.
Any attempt to redesign the MMR without using the account’s long-term data would be an improvement, but Blizz hasn’t understood that yet and thinks they’re doing the players a favor with soft resets.
Their bell curve ideology is awful. Create Clans/guilds and only let them compete, with division capability, and let the community decide on who should play comp. Its a team game after all. Having algorithms decide was the worst thing ever for competitive shooters. Team based or DM based.
in summary give the players the tools to decide themselves.
There may not be many high rank players but there are certainly enough of us to make the game actually awful for everyone Diamond and below for weeks if this happened. Not to mention free smurfing.
Not the best idea. If you want DPS that know how to play cover, get good enough to get to a rank where that’s the case
Make it happen.
