IMO, rating is not working as indeed (in RSS)

Hello guys, yesterday I just played a game of RSS, with the data below:

My MMR: 1387
My CR: 1437
Match Average MMR: 1471

So I won 4 rounds against peeps with equal and higher mmr than me and only gained 1 rank. How can this be? I don’t see this as “working properly” as it wasn’t a lobby against lower MMR/CR than me.

:roll_eyes:

Your last several matches you’ve went negative. Your mmr is well below your cr now. You need to consistently win to get your mmr higher than your cr and your cr will start climbing.

You can not go 10 wins and 18 losses and then suddenly go 4-2 and expect to see a rating increase.

Got it, thank you very much, I was already suspicious of that.

The annoying thing is that I’m on a streak of bad luck, really, I know I’m not a great player, but I played a few games with horrible people and lost rating (may not be an excuse, but like I said, I’m not a try-hard or anything like that) , there are games that your partner plays like garbage and when team changes he plays excellently (and so on, yes, there are also my flaws, but I try to darkness at the right time, a stun followed by fear …)

One thing I’ve noticed is dh’s think they use darkness at the right time to help their team but in reality their teammates have already traded the appropriate defensives

Do you track ally cds to know when they’re using a defensive or don’t have any left?

Hi, sometimes yes, sometimes no… Sometimes the situation is chaotic, millions of pets on the screen, me being the kill target.

But I don’t leave it to use when, for example, we have only 30% HP or less.

There are situations that when I release darkness, people run outside…

Still, MMR does seem weird for RSS. I never remember my MMR being lower than my CR in normal arena. The amount of 5/6 with no ratings gain stories, etc. seem kind of crazy–even on a bad streak in arena I think I’ve always got 12-15cr unless I was queuing with someone a lot lower than me to pull our MMR way down.

I think it’s because you’re not getting to 1400 and having a negative win/loss on repeat. You typically climb on up past 1500 and start going 50/50.

The game gives you free rating up to 1200. MMR can get kinda wonky the lower you fall below the 1500 starting point.

At first I thought it would be 0-6 (2 mages, 1 lock and I was the only melee) but I got lucky =)
