It would totaly make sense right? There are so many people who are missed placed its insane. Mercy mains are placing high on dps even though they are at best gold.

On one hand, they said that the season information will be deleted when next season starts and your SR will not be effected. On the other hand, they are severely short on data and MMR is completely hidden anyway.
I would expect that theyâre still collecting MMR data during the beta, or at least entertain the possibility enough to play seriously.

Well unless theyâre relying heavily on performance stats, weâre in for the same issue weâve been having for years, and the only thing RQ will accomplish is limiting how people enjoyed the game.

I know they said nothing counts in the BETA for the next season, by whats the point of BETA then? Why on earth wouldnt they collect some data?
Hands down biggest issue of 222 right now is unfair matches and people playing in rank they dont belong in. Solution? Reset MMR next season or ⌠2 weeks of placement. Otherwise the same thing will happen next season, completly broken matches. 2 weeks of placement matches or data collection should fix this problem
No matter how much everyone keeps suggesting this, it isnât going to make more fair matches. Itâs going to make far less, for far longer. You canât fully reset mmr, even a fresh account doesnât go into comp with no idea of MMR⌠itâs seeded based on your QP mmr when you start.

The general quality of matches isnt even good for everyone. I am playing the rq beta on one of my alts which was always from 2.9 - 3.1k and i dropped 500 sr in my main role now to nearly gold. Imagine this. I have a winrate of 5% (!!!) on that account without throwing. I play as i always do.
If they use these mmr and data to place me next season with this account i will stop playing comp forever.

My SR in beta isnât far off from last season. Match quality is far from what I would expect. 16 matches on 2 accounts. 32 games total 4 very awesome matches 28 stomps one side or the other.

This isnt even the case for me. I was fine with the slightly lower placemetn after the 5 matches. I havent won one single match until then. The 50:50 winrate enforcement of the old mm isnt working atm. I had never such a bad losing streak before.
Honestly the amount of variance you guys seem to think there is between playing the different classes is kind of crazy. Think about it, the ranks people previously had are an amalgamation of their time playing any and all roles to begin with. They are then sorted and ranked on each role in the same way they would be sorted and ranked before RQ. I play better and worse on each role and so got placed differently in each of the three roles.
This is without mentioning the fact that things like game sense and other such skills are completely transferable. Do you honestly think someone ranked say diamond would actually be silver? I donât
I really hope they donât let beta season affect next season in any way. I had to stop playing comp from so many people playing heroes theyâre unfamiliar with, because, âwho cares? It doesnât countâ. Beta season is basically being used as toilet paper, and is going to generate unsuitable data.

Hard Reset everything. Itâs a new game now. Itâs only going to be a mess if they use ANY old data.
What is with this flood of posts attacking mercy players if itâs really that common to see mercys placing well on other roles mabye just mabye your preconceptions about mercy players are wrong

They genuinely seem to believe that and it makes no sense I had an arugement with someone recently who thinks its possible to be plat at one role and bronze at another. Thatâs just a laughable variation and people donât understand gamesense alone wouldnât allow that
No it isnât, and your final placement isnât going to change (unless youâve fixed a problem in your own gameplay) - itâs just going to be more volatile for everyone for a while, and if you think itâs hard finding a fair match now just imagine the placement matches where actual top500 players are matched up with triple digit bronze.
Do really believe theyâre not good shaft us again by using this for our placementsđ. Itâs like when they said theyâd release the sombra daemon hunter skin. Theyâre so using it. Iâm starting to think this game is a scam. The more you try the lower you go. Came back one season after trying so hard. Could play fell off the map. Diamond. This game sr system is a joke. Now Iâm stuck trying to fix the systems mistakes but canât because Iâm in a rank that canât even play properly. Great job blizz. Tune in next week to âhow we gonna f**k this game and player baseâ
Blizzard isnât forcing you to lose matches.
I think we are foolish to think that all of the data from the beta will simply disappear. We will never know, though.
What do you mean? All the people that suggest a full mmr reset used the bestestes math and have numbers to back that up !!!111eleven
Iâm a mercy main. I won all my placements on support, got placed at my last season low.
I placed mid bronze on dps, which felt appropriate because Iâm terrible â but almost all the games Iâve played as dps Iâve won, and theyâve felt easy.
Tank, on the other hand⌠Tank is rough.
Top 500 players will play ONE game before the system starts sticking them against each other.
Itâs the 90% of players in the middle that are a jumbled mess and i donât think the system knows what to do right now.
To be honest, iâd rather play the game like itâs brand new. The roles are new. The approach to the game is new. I donât think the old data should even be looked at.
