This is my take on a particular quote from Mercer in the Role Queue Update thread. It’s indicative of what I think about the current state of the matchmaking system.
This is another way of saying “You’re not as smart as you think you are” or within the context of Overwatch “You’re not as good at the game as you may think you are”.
This is the same level of arrogance displayed by Jay Wilson, who was claiming, that people don’t adequately remember the previous Diablo games, when in reality he was the one remembering things wrong and sometimes he was outright fabricating lies.
It’s also similar to the infamous “You think you do, but you don’t” by J. Allen Brack.
I’m pretty sure if you guys were to adequately display MMR for each player on a team, as well as how personal performance affects MMR and SR gains/losses at the end of a match, with us currently having the ability to watch replays, players would be able to spot irregularities with the system that are so stupid, that you bringing the Dunning-Kruger effect would end up just as ironic as the above mentioned statements.
