Why Handicapping (MMR) is Wrong for Competitive Play

For active players MMR and SR are basically the same (Overwatch Forums).

“At no point in MMR calculations do we look at your win/loss ratio and win/loss ratio is never used to determine who to match you with or against. We are not trying to drive your win/loss percentage toward a certain number” – Jeff Kaplan (Overwatch Forums)

Look at How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 9) for a more complete version, especially the summary and matchmaking sections.
