Why is the SR/MMR formula kept a secret?

that’s not how citations work

/shrug well when they continue to ignore your spam, you’ll know why - they’ve already answered. Learn to research and you’ll find the answers you seek. Improve yourself and you’ll win more, you don’t need anything else.

that’s fine, but don’t say they exist and not be willing to back up your claim

Who actually cares?
Playing video-games is about salt, git gud, you deserve the rank, you have to carry to climb, you are hard-stuck for a reason, you do not have game sense…yadda yadda
Basically:
me>you
me —>awww, I feel good
you --> I am angry
me --> aww, feels even better
This is what gaming is and not mmr sr usb asap booobnobobo

the score and the game are one and the same

But I did, it’s all right here: How Competitive Matchmaking and Rating Works (Season 20)

can you point to exactly where inside it is?

Yes, I can. I just pointed at it for you.

no you didn’t

it doesn’t say in there their phylosphy on my the MMR formula is kept a secret

Yes, I did.

Yes, it does. Either you read it or you didn’t, which is it? If you didn’t read it it’s not my job to do your research, especially when someone provides a convenient link to all available information. If you did read it you don’t need me to continue pointing it out for you. My arm is getting tired.

see they’re always listening for feedback

here’s my feedback: I don’t like a hidden matchmaking system.

That is not an official, authoratative link. It’s a community member (Kaawumba). Good on him, but he’s trying to do their work for them, in absentia.

Basically just firing shots in the dark, because elo/trueskill accounts for solo queues and win rates, not pbsr and machine learned team rigging.

It’s a link to a collection of official, authoritative information. The information that OP refuses to do his research on is contained within.

It’s not rigged. When you improve, you climb.

Yes, it is. Try reading again.

show me where it is please

I’m pointing right at it. If you want more than that you’ll have to do your own research.

See, I’ve done your research for you in the past and invariably when you’re proven wrong you either a) ignore it or b) more commonly, shift the goalposts. So not this time. They have explained why and it’s all right there in the link.

not shifting goal posts, clarifying

I can’t find any orange text in any of that, at all. The source is speculative, and I quote Kaawumbaa here:

So basically he just drew his own conclusions based on guestimation and heresay. That is literally the opposite of official and authoritative.

That is tautological. I don’t want to get into this here, but it is much, much harder to improve in a closed-box hidded performance evaluation.

Hence why all the calls for transparency. People shouldn’t be tensors, and matches rated at the bottom 1-2% of all players ranked by skill shouldn’t be corrupted with people exibiting skill and talent far above that percentile.

It’s bad outdated math leading to a trash broken system. Show us the math so we can either fix it for them or see how they expect us to perform.

Call it whatever you like, but when you claim one thing and get disproven and then claim that you were talking about something entirely different that’s called shifting the goalposts.

They’ve already provided everything you need to know - you climb when you win, so “how they expect you to perform” is that you’ll win until you can’t, and that’s where you’re supposed to be until you improve yourself.
