Using MMR for match balancing is bad for the game

So to expand on this, its too difficult to climb and fall. If you should be climbing, (ie: preforming well) the matchmaker will put you with people of the same SR but much lower MMR.

Good thing this doesn’t happen, then. See How Competitive Skill Rating Works - Season 17 → Summary for how things actually work.

Also note Jeff’s recent statement that SR is ignored when making a match:
