It is heavily skewed now more than ever. So many players play at lower ranks that are dps to avoid the long q times. Best just to scrap the whole system.
Everyone knows someone who intentionally Smurfs or almost everyone. I know at least double digits players that do it. Time to scrap performance based Sr and move on.
Honestly I kind of agree…
As a low rank support player - It’s really rough ranking up (still possible just difficult) when there are so many smurfs. If I can’t heal dead how am I supposed to get the stats that’ll give me decent SR gain. Or at least not lose so much when the team loses. I’ve had multiple games where the people don’t even try to hide it. They literally admit -in match chat- that they’re smurfing to avoid the que times.
If you get rid of pbsr it makes smurfing easier dude. It’s genuinely hard for anyone above diamond to stay play for very long because of pbsr. I could go from 2500 to 3k in probably 10–15 wins due to pbsr, where as it would take 20+ if it were treated like diamond and up with the 24sr average.
Edit:
Perfect example, I placed a smurf on support today. I got placed 2935 whilst not taking the game seriously. 2 games with ana 50% win rate and 3 games with bap 100%. I am not even playing close to what I would on my main and I’m already basically out of plat…
Okay, so pretend PBSR goes away. Nice, what happens next? What is it you’re trying to accomplish by getting rid of it? Why are you specifically targeting PBSR?
Is this just a weird indirect way to talk about the smurf problem?
If a player wants to stay in plat they are going to stay in plat. No amount of pbsr will change that.
The system has always been an issue just is more of an issue now where players intentionally play in lower ranks.
Players placing new accounts will get placed diamond if they are good at the game and actually try to win.
As I said if they want to stay in lower ranks they will make sure they will. Which makes performance based Sr an issue now.
or you can play better and then you’d rank up
Yup, its gota go.
Losing 24 for a loss getting stomped sux but
Gaining 8 for a win stomping the other team sux big time
So your issue is with throwing. Fix that and smurfs cant smurf.
game usually looks like this

Yes because as said below me stomping a team to gain 8 Sr really works out with performanced based Sr.
Just wish they’d go to a win +8…lose -8…and match team mm on a margin of 36+/-. You know it’s going to be fair. It doesn’t have to be a 50% chance of winning every game to be fair either.
LMAO, performance based sr is what will help you to climb in low elos, + it helps to get rid of smurfs faster.
And you want it gone, makes no sense.
Why dont you group up with one of them? Wont be a problem if there is so many of them. I tried this once with mercy just out of curiosity and one smurf carried me 300 sr in two days.
You will not gain 8 sr in normal game. Only in games where enemy team had leaver which is fair as you had easy game. So why you should gain 25 for 6v5.
Well tbh people usually leave after they get stomped so it’s not really 5v6 and winning team deserves more than 8 sr.
I get it but do you deserve 25 sr for 4 minutes long stomp? I dont think so.
If you have leaver you will lose less so i think its kind of fair. But i admit it suck when you win like that.
If you lose 20-25sr for getting stomped, then yeah. I just think they should be equal, both low or both high.
But they are, if you have leaver and you are stomped you will lose only little like 6± sr.
Just because someone leaves, basically takes one for the team, doesn’t justify the 20 sr difference though. I think leaver or not, SR gains/losses all should be around same range. You got a leaver? Too bad. Enemy got a leaver? Lucky you. It’ll even out eventually but gaining one digit sr is just annoying lol
It was the old system and it honestly sucked. I think current sr/leaver system is much better. At least people can stop complaining about leavers in games which are not canceled, because they wont affect their sr that much.
But i do think that winning side should get more sr maybe as its not their team who has leaver, not their fault. Not full amount, but current numbers are too low. It should be double, like 10-20 sr.
