I’ve only played comp during ow2, so i wouldn’t k ow where i started. But seeing that i struggled against the medium ai at the start it was probably close do bronze 5 XD
I’m high gold now. So improvement has happened.
I only played comp a few seasons to figure a general elo i was in. I don’t know if i could get higher, but i haven’t bothered to because i prefer not grinding for rank.
To me its impressive that people can be so dumb as to not see this but then again its only a small majority of people on these forums who want to argue this and most of the people with brains like the pros saying it as well already know this. So i guess there is always a few who are slow to catch on. I was saying the match maker was forcing 50/50 years ago only just now the pros are starting to see and say the same thing so whatever.
You mean the same thing that would happen if winning more than 50% of your games made your SR go up until you’re matched against equally skilled players and, thus, win 50% of the time without any rigging at all.
I can tell you, I get the same people in quick as before, ranging from silver to high plat, occasional diamond.
The matchup didn’t change, the dice role is basically the same.
You would expect that I “climb” but I don’t and it’s confusing asf.
That’s why my WR is probably so high, because I play far above the average level that is thrown against me and tanks can hard carry
No they would not. If the matchmaker simply did nothing more than find you 9 other people of similar MMR and the winning team gained MMR and the losing team lost it then the end result is a 50% win rate for 99.99% of the population of Overwatch. nothing else needs to be done but that and you will have a 50% win rate.
So… kind of like when you throw a coin you will usually get 1 heads, 1 tails. Or 2 heads, 2 tails. Or 3 heads followed by 3 tails. Or sometimes 2 heads, 1 tails, 1 heads and 2 tails.
Peak Overwatch forums performance right here.
K I’ll quickly do that

This just proves what i have been saying tho ? i mean look at it its basically forcing 5050 and i bet any money the next game will be a loss its just like its keeping you from climbing. back and forward back and forward. Sorry i don’t click links.
Yeah, just like a coinflip is. The point of match making is to match you with and against players of similar skill. What happens when you play with and against players of similar skill? You win ~50% and you lose ~50%.
I don’t see the revelation here.
It doesn’t, though, at least not in my case. I went from Bronze years ago to Masters in S8. I didn’t play much comp since S9 so I can’t update you on that beyond S8.
Edit: Played 5 more games, WWWLWW. Combined: WWLWLLWWLWWWWLWW. No pattern that I can make out.
