SR Changes Now Please

If you played your brains out but your “team” is terrible and loses the match for you, it should be possible for you to still gain SR for performing well.

Before you say something like “if you’re performing well, you will climb”, make sure you understand what I wrote.

Performing better than your rank will make you win

people don’t understand that SR is a relative thing

A Grandmaster in season 3 could be a silver today because all people got better

No, this is not true. Five people playing very poorly can more than nullify your efforts.

Small sample size, over the course of many games if you’re consistently better you will rank up

Don’t worry 5vs5, which is rumoured to launch in 2051 will give you much more carrying potential. Only 30 more years of content drought!!

Irrelevant to my post. There are moments where you play exceedingly well and still lose because the people around you are doing the opposite.

I guarantee you that if you are actually good enough to climb, you will. I’d recommend asking for someone to vod review a game where you thought you did amazing but still lost.

That is how it should have been from the start.

The fact that you always lose sr for not winning the match just makes any effort pointless (which is also why a lot of ppl just throws when they see the things aren’t going well)

But then how do you determine who is playing well?

I agree with this. It has nothing to do with the post though.

Below Diamond, you earn SR based on your performance. So if you’re constantly over performing for your rank you’ll earn more SR and lose less.

The AI already determines what is considered playing well. Let it continue to determine what is considered playing well. Adjust the SR values for those stats upward though so that W/L does not hold as much weight.

How is it irrelevant? The reason you think you’re so much better than others is your ego and the fact that humans often look for mistakes in others rather than themselves.
I highly doubt you’re actually as good as you think you are. Find someone in gm willing to vod review you.

Well, that is a tricky considering every hero is so different but lets say combined dmg, shielding and healing per X time (within the team) can be a good candidate even if it is not 100% perfect way.

It is irrelevant because I said nothing about climbing. I said they need to adjust the SR values of the stats their AI has determined to be important so W/L doesn’t hold as much weight.

No competitive esport gives you ranked points for a loss.

And your point is what exactly?

Why should Overwatch do it?. So that an ego-consumed metal rank player can climb?
