If you play well under 3000, system will help you climb

To keep things simple. I will explain just a few key points players should know about Performance-Based Skill Rating adjustments and how it applies in Overwatch:

• Performance-Based Skill Rating is only calculated for players in the Platinum and lower tiers.
• Performance-Based Skill Rating is only a MINOR influence in your overall skill rating calculation. The other factors of your strength of schedule (comparing your current SR in comparison to the opposing team average SR), the frequency of play (the more you play the more consistent your adjustments are), and most importantly whether you won the match or not, help determine your overall skill rating adjustment.
• Performance-Based Skill Rating will take any amount of play time you have had on each hero and derive stats to average out in comparison to similar players of the same skill rating who played the same heroes you did in their own matches.

I mean… even the Myst says its a minor influence. Just had a game where I went 26/3, first round 16/0, second round 8/3. Guess how much my SR went up? - a whopping 20 points.

I get it what your saying, and yes there are time slices of stats to compare, but what hurts stats? Averages, and this game averages alot. Also your stats ARE influenced by others. If everyone does good and ENABLES you, you do better… its really that simple.

All I know nothing is as easy as black and white. If you refuse to look at the patents how can I tell your open minded? Because the patents themselves use skill as 1 variable with a weight. The other variables are ping, queue time, and a big one… “game enjoyment”. Which all has been backed up with that other COD video someone posted. Then lets not forget the stacks, and now the ticket system. And dont get me wrong, it IS possible, but its a grind. Just playing good is not enough to scorch through the ranks.
