So when is jeff actually going to do something right and fix SR so you gain more then you loose? So todya I went 3-1 for the three games I gained a total of 60 SR. the one loss I lost 32. Am I the only one who thinks this is a complete issue? I have a 89% win rate on rein 74 win rate on winston and 62 winrate on orisa. Cant climb in fact im dropping. someone please explain to me how this is suppose to be good? ever since I decayed I cant climb back up to save my life and its completely broken. I can steamroll the enemy team have all the golds amazing stats and just dominate the game hardcore carry, still get very little sr. but I just barely lose a game and I’ll lose almost two games worth of SR. Can we fix this bs?!

SR goes up and down depending on the difference between your MMR and SR (as well as some other factors like chance of winning the game and your performance if you’re below Diamond). I personally have more experience with my SR going up more than it goes down, but I’ve certainly seen the other side from time to time.
After decay, your MMR stays the same (albeit the confidence value drops), so you’ll actually be gaining significantly more SR from wins and losing very little on losses. After I first decayed from 3.7k to 3k, I was gaining 50 SR per win.
Not necessarily,
Below diamond performance-based SR means you gain more and loose less based on your personal stats vs the average stats of players at your rank with the same hero.
In diamond and above, there is no performance-based SR, and you gain the same for a win as your teammates. The amount is decided on 2 things:
-
Your teams average SR vs the enemy teams average SR, you gain more if you win with a lower average, and less if you win with a higher average.
-
You overall rank. As you climb higher in rank, you gain less overall, and loose more overall. This is in place to make those top ranks harder to get to and maintain.
The hidden MMR stats don’t directly effect your SR gains, but they do effect who you are matched with.
-
Yes, we know.

Why are you complaining your SR is dropping? The games are better at low ranks. You (and I) aren’t getting into the OWL, so stop playing SR, and start playing Overwatch which is a fun, absolutely casual game, that was never going to be anything more than any other game you play on the internet.
Seriously, you’ll be happier.
Did you just not read what was immediately after that piece you quoted?
THIS PROFILE IS CURRENTLY PRIVATE
proof is needed here.
No one can even look and see that you likely have some character that you have played with a 20% winrate that you have no business even selecting.
How long has it been??? …this pretty much doesnt even make sense unless you were literally boosted to begin with.

I read the entire piece i quoted, and my post is the next one under it. I don’t see your point here? Am I missing something? My post was only to clarify exactly what went into SR gain/loss, something you didn’t really provide details on.
