basically i played with my friends in 3s and hit 2100 on my hpal (which i was stoked about since i have never healed in 3s before or played an hpal before). So we tank a little bit because we lost our third and ended up around 2k. so he is off for a few days but kinda wants to play his other characters anyway, i que with randos in lfg because i was curious about boomie spriest and wanted to see how it played out. they were 1650 cr but since i didnt think i would get glad anyway i figured why not, might get them a boost of mmr and if they were bad then i could just leave. so we play seven matches and win 2 of those. i leave because i dont really wanna tank that hard, friend logs back on and im at 1890 rating. here is the part where i need help, he is still 2k, we get a dk @1920cr. we play eleven matches, losing 2 of those. no one won a single point of rating and i ended the night at literally 1780 after not winning a single point on any of the wins. what gives? is mmr supposed to be this punishing?
tldr: i suck at healing but even my partners cant carry me out of an mmr slump after tanking with randos.
Yeah, I kind of get what you’re asking. But it’s confusing without all the details.
if you only lost 2 games it shouldn’t be possible for you to drop more than 100 CR. I feel like -20something is the highest?
Other than that, I think MMR is based off of win streaks? Like you win 3 or 4 at a certain rating and that’ll bump you higher, exponentially until you lose again. I know it was explained to me like that at one point, but it might’ve changed I haven’t followed the system in a while.
you might just be having rough queues and not getting any win streaks? I’m pretty uninformed about MMR and Climbing.
so basically we went 9-2 and i ended 50 points lower. i tanked a few inbetween as well playing with randoms.we started when i was like 18xx
edit: im not asking for an audit of my exact points as im not known to write them down in notepads when i finish. im asking if this is a bug or if mmr is supposed to tank to the point where i didnt get rating through a 5 game win streak ultimately going 9-2
I mean, I haven’t heard of any bugs, but it seems odd for you to not be getting any points. The only way you wouldn’t be getting any points at 1800 is if you guys were only beating like 1100 rated teams.
If ur mmr was way below what u were (2k and ur playing with people at 1600) you won’t gain a single point but will lose a bunch.
That’s a big reason why most people only queue with people near them. If it wasn’t like this people at 3k would grind rating with people at 1200 because the games would be 10x easier
