Imagine if Blizzard at least did a soft MMR reset with Role Queue

[Remedy-12480]

All I can tell you is that he tried Flex Queue because everybody said he’d get tank anyway, and he got DPS against a Contenders scrim team with the same names he’d play on his T100 rank role queue.

I was very curious after your statements, so I did a little searching…

What happens if you’re a returning player, but you never played one of the three roles? Since we don’t any have data to help us guide what your new role SR should be, we turned to some interesting data science. We looked at the population of players where we did have data for all three roles, and asked questions like “How well does a typical GM skilled player who primarily plays damage perform on the other two roles?” We then duplicated that question across all skill tiers, and the three different roles. This gave us some guidance on how to adjust players who hadn’t played a role yet.

I guess, as per usual with MMR, the answer is never simple.
