If that was in fact true, how do you explain this:
If Blizz increases MMR inflation every season, would it not stand to reason that when MMR resets with each new season, it is in fact deflation? Perhaps I could have worded my response a little better, instead of suggesting deflation be removed, I should have stated that MMR be inflated when a new season begins, not just at it’s end.
I realize that player participation has a big impact on MMR, but as clearly stated by Blizzard, they also do control it to an exent. I believe that MMR being lower at the start of the season leads to player frustration, which in the end drives away all the casual to moderate pvp’ers. This in turn exacerbates the problem. I hope that they find a solution and fix the entire system making it more rewarding and instil a sense of progression from season to season.
