No, this doesn’t bring clarity. And I will give u another example.
I play as support. When I am in bronze, I win all my games. When I am in silver, I lose all of them no matter what I do.
I swap heroes, I update my playstile accordingly to my team and the enemy team. I heal and carry when needed. I start playing aggressive and secure kills when needed. I am always a better support than the enemy team and I still lose. I even started learning to kill the flankers that chase me because my team can’t hear me yelling that I need help.
The other day I was put in a bronze team, fighting against golds. How am I supposed to win and rank up if the game forces me to lose and go back to bronze everytine I do good? How is this rewarding?
They’ll tell you when they’re ready.
But as the possible patent holder
or architect, you would all ready know.
As far as “gain”, exodus = losses
So the losses outweigh whatever was gained.
But that’s how departing from competitive norms, work.
It risky, to get iffy.
I don’t know about forced losses, but this is just not true. There are absolutely games where I can think, ‘I missed shots, didn’t make the plays I needed to, didn’t play safe enough in that fight, etc.,’ and yep even if my team could have done more I can 100% see how the game was winnable based on my performance.
However to say I’m not performing well at all? When I can literally be the top performer in the lobby and it makes no difference? Like sure if I had GM aim I could hard carry those games, but I don’t, and I shouldn’t need GM aim and to pull some god-tier solo carry to get wins in the metal ranks.
Man I got some news for you unfortunately, if you are seeing these “lack of skill” players then that means you are at an elo where those things are possible. Not everyone is going to be great at the game, but if you want to get higher quality games, stop focusing on them and future out what you can do to make sure you are winning 60-70 percent of your matches so you can rank up and get out of there. What you are describing sounds like around a silver MMR.
Your MMR may be going higher if you are plying against higher ranks, that’s a good thing! It means if you keep over performing you will rank up even if you barely go 50 percent. Also I hear a sense of I’m better than everyone else, don’t let that destructive thinking keep you trapped. Even if you are at a gold MMR that’s still not that great, a lot to be learned. Post vod reviews in ow university if you really want a reality check about your gameplay.
Also in low elo don’t expect peels as support, but what you can do is be close to your team so they notice it occurring. Most supports play way too far back in low elo
The reason 50% loss theory is so prevalent is because for majority of playerbase the matchmaker is garbage. It’s undeniable. There are games that are impossible to win, and there are games that are impossible to lose. People with Blizz **** stuck in their mouths really don’t like to talk about the second ones, do they? Where you can literally go AFK and watch your team win 4vs5. Must also be because I’m incompetent.
How many times does Blizzard need to come out and say themselves that matchmaking is ****ed?
They admitted it’s confusing mess.
They admitted it’s not based on the only metric visible to the player - SR. You know whtat that means? It means that SR is an entirely made up statistic that doesn’t actually affect the game.
They run the matchmaker on an INVISIBLE metric.
And then Blizz also come out and say, with their own mouths, that this invisible metric doesn’t actually take into account personal performance statisctics, like eliminations, deaths or assists.
So what the **** does it run on? What kind of made up bull**** is used to palce people in the match? Who knows. Definitely not Blizzard. Might as well be a total sum of skins on the account, or a flip of a coin.
And still, people will come in and defend Blizz from 2 separate accounts, lol. Just to pretend that THEY got their made up SR fair and square, and aren’t at the mercy of a broken algorythm bordering on arcane mystery. Sure guys. It’s your “skill” that matters, even if the game doesn’t account for it. Now back under the Bobby’s table, he’s getting lonely.
Ah yes. Top 10 tank mains with over 4,6k SR peaks and lowkey proscene experience losing matches in metal ranks while doing their U2G videos is just MMR recalibration
You don’t need GM aim to get a 60-70 percent win rate, you don’t even need GM brain. But you do need aim and brain that is better than your average elo player. When you are doing the best in the lobby, remember what skill tier you are playing, you should be doing the best in the lobby if you want to rank up, it’s not some big accomplishment tho if you are beating golds and plats, ppl get too cocky which leads them stuck in a cycle unable to rank up
