PvP Rating Adjustments

but how do you explain players being permanently stuck at 2400, there being no glads 6 weeks into the season (still no glads to this day)

Everyone is protesting actually playing til the free mmr train comes in.

When you gain 0MMR for a win, you have no reason to play. I could understand for players over 2000k finding nobody to compete. But one of my alt is stuck at 1545 cuz he kept getting queued in 1200-1400 lobbies.

In which mode? Because Blitz does this for something like 20-25 games.

[Holynotalk-tichondrius]

is that what that is?! christ I was wondering how people got rating 8 points a win

[Kennie-malganis]

Yer. I went 22-3 or something and only then my MMR started to adjust above 1600. It seems like this can be bypassed if you queue with a healer who has finished placements…?

Anyways, it’s a lot of games to not see much progress. I was 1800 cr or something and it’d throw me into a 1500 game which I’d win or suffer massive cr losses.

[Holynotalk-tichondrius]

okay well maybe I’ll actually continue to play the mode then! thanks Kennie!

[Kennie-malganis]

Sure. It stinks to have stifled progress for a handful of games but you eventually get climbin’. Maybe it’s also just the sheer volume of people in placements you get initially that slows down gains.

If we bump this thread enough maybe we can get the problem fixed?

Thanks for necroing this thread from a year ago and giving us hope.

I know it got me good

how dare you

While you’re looking into things - Disc still has no stun

@Kaivax

For clarity, there is no cap to MMR, but the highest rating is a result of the combination of population trends and lack of inflation.

Can we copy paste this in to every “MMR is capped” thread?

[Kennie-malganis]

They’ll just fall it fake news.

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

Oh, I didn’t even know there was already a blue post response to this!

I just wish people understood math

outplayed.

[Daddycool-chogall]

oh i see what ya’lls did here

[Løagan-doomhammer]

Maybe they haven’t figured out how to exploit their rating in this season yet. Once they figure out how to win trade with alts the rating will go up. Just have to give them time to get their alts up to speed.

[Kinsington-stormrage]

this is actually a great idea. we, as the community, could be fixing the MMR deflation ourselves.

We could fund some blackhat devs to make wintrading bots to lose to each other in the 1000s, thus generating rating for the bottom bracket. As people fight each other, this rating would eventually find its way up to the top.

It’s trickle up economics. Brilliant

People will literally do anything except press queue to end their woes

I do the first part, I press Q and add to my woes.
