MMR resets = good, hidden MMR = bad

Why in other games seasons - a new career. What are the seasons in the overwatch for? For graffiti?
Look at the overwatch league, do they really start the new season with the old ratings? Not! Because the new season is a new story, a new career, new results. What gives the new season in the overrvotch, what is it for?

Why should I even buy a new account to start playing on another hero or role without spoiling the matches to other players? Heroes in the overwatch are complex and multifaceted and many of them require a huge amount of practice, do I have to buy a new account every time when I want to play on a new hero? No, this is just ridiculous! The price of the game is not important! The account has progress, levels, skins, achivki 
 you don’t want to lose it all and the only way out is to simply play competitive mode on the hero you want, even if the skills do not meet the skill rating. As a result of this path - the toxicity of the players because they see in the diamond a widow who shoots the maximum like gold. And while I fall on a well-deserved rating, I will spoil a large number of matches to other players who will then complain about MM and leave the game.

"Unless"
they do a massive system wide change again like in S2 ( though I doubt the system was actually changed that much at the time to be honest ). They should not and will not do a SR reset.

So you play the game but you’re not a fan of it?

Are you actually thinking about what you’re saying. If you could just start a ‘new career’ when ever you felt like in OW, what would stop T500/GM/Masters players, just restarting whenever they felt like it and smurfing at lower ranks? Answer me that. They could literally be like, “Oh my accounts getting to high” then just click ‘new career’ and start again in Bronze every week. Seriously, use your brain, smurfing would be worse than it is already, the only thing stopping more smurfs is the fact they have to PAY for new accounts.

OWL is literally the top 0.1% of players. You think between OWL seasons one of those players will have fallen to like silver or something?

Again. Think. OWL players are playing against other OWL players, in the OWL. They’re not playing against some random player picked from the OW player base. They literally know who’ll they’ll be matched with before they even play the match. They’re still in the same rank.

Another one of your pointless comparisons that makes no sense.

No, it’s not. OWL isn’t some sort of story mode dude.

No, it’s a new season. They don’t call every new OWL season a ‘new career’. They’re also not playing for SR in the OWL.

Yea, but not new SR, they’re still playing in the same ‘rank’ as they were the last OWL season.

There is no point to new seasons in OW. You might as well remove placements for all I care. They mean nothing apart from the very first set of placements you do.

Why, are you seriously planning on one tricking again on your new account too? Why do you feel you can only play on one hero per account? The point I’ve been making the entire time is that you can already play any hero you want on the account you already have. But you refuse to. Then, when I literally give you a way to start again, with a fresh MMR, you don’t want to do that either. Are you actually thinking about what you’re saying right now?

You can literally do this right now. You can literally play a different hero on the account you already have and keep the skins you already have. All you have to do is not choose Mercy. That’s literally all you have to do.

A lot more matches will be ruined by players being able to restart careers whenever they like. Like literally 10’s of thousands of matches will be ruined using your idea. You’re worried about ruining a few matches for some people, but don’t seem to care about the thousands of other matches that will be ruined by people being able to reset their MMR whenever they feel like? Pretty selfish bro.

Sorry, my English is bad. I meant that you are a fanboy who, for the love of the game, is ready to justify any mistakes of the developers. In my country, they say about such people “even spit in the eyes - all of God’s dew.”

I don’t need the “start a new career” button, I need to start a new career every season. To ensure that high-ranking players do not kick weak players, you can make seasons of 3-4 months.

Oh my God! You do not see the essence of the question.

Why in the overwatch seasons? Is the gaming experience changing with the new season? Not! Is a global patch released? Not! New card? Not! New hero ? Not! Tell me, why seasons in overwatch?

Why in other competitive games there are seasons with a reset of the rating and they successfully work and can’t do it in the overwatch?

Sorry, in the new season overwatch league, nothing has changed. There were no new teams, no changes were made to the rules, leaders and outsiders. This is not a new story at all.

Yes, they do not call it a new career, but in fact they are starting a new career. New teams, old teams update line-up and coaches, play new meta.

That’s it! in overvotch they do not make sense. in an overwatch, these are fictions for appearing to be a normal competitive shooter.

You do not understand me? If I now choose a hero in which I didn’t train hard enough, I’ll spoil the match for other players. Such an attitude of people spoils the competitive mode!

You simply repeat the popular opinion of other fan-fights who are afraid of any changes in the game.
Why in other games reset the rating works, and the competitive mode is not a garbage? 2-3 times a year, the community can easily endure such stress, but it is not held hostage to your account.

Look at the rainbow 6, it works great there, and I have never heard a serious sting on it. there rating mode is not ideal, but it is better than in overwatch. If Blizzard wants to make the game really good, then they need to look at the league of legends and make the competition mode look like.

MMR/SR only is right if you only pay 1 hero and never play anything else.
So if you really want to see your MMR/SR and want to play more then one hero you are forced to buy other accounts (until they create hero based SR/MMR system and not account based)

When you only have 1 account you could even down rank your self by playing bad heroes or boost your self playing only your best hero. Then you can swap back to hero X and destroy games because you are on a rank you shouldn’t be.

With as many hours on pharah on this account i am a lot higher rank on her then gold. And it feels like smurfing when i play her most of the time. (i use this account more as practice account and play lots of heroes).

The question is: Is filling a form of down ranking? And should it be illegal? Its a form of keeping your account on a lower rank that your main/best heroes are.

So having only one account(and play more then one hero) will probably destroy more games because of players playing below/above the rank of the hero they selected. Then people with lots of accounts.

This sounds more like excuse justify to yourself for making that mistake when you bought those extra accounts. Yes. So simple way to fix this. a) Reset all stats b) SMS verification and finally c) Role ques and role based ranks.

You only need one account and you can play whatever you want, because MMR and / or SR is based to your role. So if you play all 3 different roles, you would have 3 different ranks.

This is another reason for which you need to redo the entire competitive mode.

Can you tell us more about the SR \ MMR system? It is desirable with reference to the messages of the developers.

The more the gap is between the heroes you play, the more screwed up/bad your SR is. So the matchmaker will at the moment, almost always fail in doing his job well.(even jeff admitted this, they are not happy how the match maker works)

How the MMR system works is only guessing, but since SR is account based MMR probably is also. The only prove i got for this is when you swap between heroes, you always get a lesser SR modifier then you would when you played only 1 hero

Play what you want. No one is stopping you.

Agreed,I don’t mind meet all type of player during placements,Once I finish it,it will give me my current actual mmr.
