Placement system and gaining sr

Can someone explain what the faktors are for a rewarding placement and getting the highest amount of sr ?
And also im not sure if a winstreak will give you more sr a after some wins or not …

Perform well :shrug:
I’ve won most and lost sr, and lost most and gained sr. (went 2-8 one season and gained 100sr xD)

 IN SHORT : NOBADY KNOWS AS BLIZZ FOR AN IDIOTIC REASON REFUSES TO EXPLAIN 

(as if , all of us would climb to top 500. )

  • You can find tons of posts here and MEGA THREADS with 2k answers Search what is / how it works the so called MMR ( Match Maker Rating) SR is a bit of a fake rank due to smurfs and alt accounts.
  • The worse u perform on your hero stats - the worst teammates u will get next game and VICE VERSA

There is very little we “Know”

However what has been pieced together is that:

You have two ratings SR and MMR.

  • MMR is (partially) based on your personal performance.
  • MMR is more volatile than your SR - hence it can raise or fall much quicker. **
  • MMR is used to … Matchmake - the teams are based on equal’ish MMR.
  • Winning a game where your MMR is significantly higher than your SR results in very large SR gains - think of GM’s that have decayed to 3000.

** - Bliz have stated they can detect smurf’s and “correct” the MMR in 16 games.

+7 / -3
Placed +252 points (But I had 160something decay).
So pretty much seems like normal games only not showing SR.

Placements aren’t much different from the general season:

Win streaks aren’t in the game any more.
