Ideas for fixing the MMR system

Competitive Discussion

My 2 cents - matchmaking needs to be based on either endorsement level & rank or number of hours played and rank. This gets rid of the issue with cheaters, it gets rid of the issue of getting games with 3-17, 0-5, 4-14 dps or healers who don’t heal.

All of the people I play with are endorsement 1,2, or 3 recently. And it’s impossible to climb solo queue in this game because they’ve made it so difficult. My other 2 cents? If you do the best damage, you should be punished less and rewarded more. Same for healing if your role is healer. Same for mitigation if your role is tank. In addition to kills for dps/tank. This would even the mmr a little and help us all win. Especially console players who don’t have the point and click option.

Endorsements are irrelevant and have nothing to do with skill or ability to win games.

So you want to throw together all the Smurfs with the new players?
Great idea!

4

Yes. Because smurfs is cheating. Boosting/deranking is cheating.

5

How to make sure new players will stop playing your game after 3 matches in one simple step!

Well, you got any better ideas because their system for matchmaking is super sucky.

I mean we could register our hardware and only have one account per hardware to ensure no smurfing whatsoever , there’s tons of ways. I’m just trying to think of a better way to improve mmr.

Instead of being a Debbie downer, toss out your own idea.

Without trying to sound rude… But based on the things you’ve said, it is clear you don’t understand it, so how would you know if it is “sucky”.

I get that far too often matches are rubbish. It happens to everyone. But that isn’t match making doing that.

endorsement level is only meaningful through silver.

Did you…just invent overwatch 1 ? ')

Good. New players should expect to get dunked on in any game especially one that has been out for 9 years. Does it really matter if its by smurfs or by experienced veterans?

The players who quit because they suck would still quit anyway. At least for the others there would be a motivation to get rewarded with better matchmaking by playing longer.

What kind of attitude?
Every match should be as fair as possible, even for new players. There are enough different levels of skill within the game to ensure that.

No, thats not good.
That is how you actually kill a game.

Game is full of cheater and crossplay stack. It is not real aiming it is not real competitive shooter. Many reference patents about rigging game for engagement. I do not believe MMR system can matter, when the game can not find PC only lobby. This means, nearly a population zero. Only crossplay in QP reasons not enough player, for any game system. It possible they can not find enough player, and reward payment of stack friends. So the solo player is given rigged match, with different setting. The TTK feel so inconsistent this only explain.

Seems like you’re not fast enough to process what happens in your match.

14

You missed point. The TTK feel so inconsistent. Must be fast to notice when it slow and clunky. Which is a lot. But you don’t notice this, because you are always slow.

15

I’m sure it feels like it to you.
But it isn’t.

You can easily check Replays/Clips/Vods to verify this.

16

You dont notice because you’re not fast and it bothers you.

17

Fast enough to play on masters.

Also this:

If it really was inconsistent, someone would have found proof by now.

So you agree, you are not fast enough to notice these effects.
Keep working on your speed and observation skills.

I did?

They are just fine, thank you.

Go get some proof and come back to me, will you?
Show everyone what they can’t see.

Thank you for confirming.
You are not fast enough to notice, and it triggers you.
Post 10 replay codes and I will show you what you missed.
