Why is the SR/MMR formula kept a secret?

Sure, but that’s never going to happen.

They did patent it, so you’re wrong off the bat. They opened it up for free, much like how Tesla opened up a lot of their patents.

Oh, back to trolling. Are you going for 3 months this time? :laughing:

Good, you concede defeat. Now answer my question:

Do you believe that the working class should be the ruling class and that the means of production belong to society as a whole instead of the people who paid the money to build out the infrastructure?

Because that’s not how private property works here, and Blizzard is never, ever, ever going to give you their private property. Work on improving yourself and you’ll climb, end of story.

But at this point it should be clear that they won’t. You’ve been asking for years now; sometimes no response is your answer. Sometimes they’ve already answered and aren’t going to repeat themselves - as is the case here. They’re not giving you anything more, so just work on improving yourself and you’ll climb. I have faith in you!

Yes, they have. I’m not going to do the research for you; it’s all there in the link.

no it’s not, I already read the whole thing long before this conversation started

they make no mention as to why they don’t divulge the MMR formula

Yes, they do. Try reading it again.

that’s not how citations work

That’s not how research works. They have indeed explained why the MMR isn’t visible and why they won’t provide more detail on it.

no they haven’t, please provide a citatioin

Here you go: How Competitive Matchmaking and Rating Works (Season 20)

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
