MMR adjusts quickly. SR does not. There’s no contradiction there.
the OP titled the thread MMR reset. SR as we’ve been told by everyone represents your MMR. either that is BS and the two can be quite different or they’re close to each other and MMR changing rapidly will also translate to SR.
you cant have both yet these forums, depending on the argument, will argue both sides of that as true.

When people request an MMR reset I assume they want it when a new season’s placements start (so MMR AND SR reset). That would make every ranked game a coin flip for 2+ months where whoever lucked into the better players on their team wins each game and silvers get carried into diamond and masters down to silver just by luck of the way the teams fall.
If you just do an MMR reset mid-season without any SR adjustments (no placements for most people), the effect would be less severe. It would be the same as removing MMR and making the matchmaking algorithm choose teams based on SR for a few games until MMR adjusted.
so … exactly as the game has been for the past … well since 2-2-2.
Not even remotely close. You complain about being with people you think are out of your rank because they play like they’re ~200 SR off of you. The reset would have people 4000 SR apart from each other in the same games.
I would not say frustrated, most invetions are made because people are lazy and want to make things more easy and a lot of inventions is related to wars.
I was in Plat 2600 - low Diamond all 19 Seasons. I have since dropped to Silver and going further down. I can get four golds every match and die the least of everyone on my team and lose again.
This season the MMR / RANK is broken for me with a gold border. I have never been below Plat in 19 seasons and now I am Silver Tank and Low Gold DPS. My Support is still 2700 Plat.
I honestly feel if I got a new account and played I could be in Diamond for Tank and Support and Plat for Damage.

Can you actualy share one of your replay codes, i am really interested to see plat/diamond player who is stuck in silver, because I dont understand how is it possible. Can you share it please?
Like yeah I was stuck on alts for a while sometimes in silver rarely, few times in gold for few days, but I climbed every time in few weeks easy. But going so much down on already older account is pretty “WTH”.

Why the contradiction? It’s like reasoning forced 222 because Goats, but no wait also because 5dps. Like which one is it bruh?
Which one is it? A system that ranks/places people where they belong? or where they don’t belong? You can’t have it both ways. The ladder is either fine or it’s not. If it’s fine then a reset won’t be an issue. If it’s not fine, a reset won’t matter anyway. We’re talking a week or two of “placement-like” matches, not months lol.
Matchmaker and how mmr works is fine, placement system is bad.
Every single player who will come back after reset in any time will be as new alt starting in gold in his first placement. Gold rank will be hell for true gold players, because they will be forced to play with every rank in the game. And people will be going back to try reset for weeks or months. I dont understand why people want it when even now is everyone complaining about smurfs. It would be much worse.
Most of the bronze and silver players want reset because they know how they could place higher with it even when they dont belong higher. Some golds and plats want it, because they dont understand how the comp works and dont realize their rank will be affected by it most significantly and in a bad way. And then you have people in diamond + who are not against having reset mostly. They will tell you its bad decision because they understand how comp works, but they know they could smurf very easy with reset, so they dont mind…
