How is it in Solo Shuffle, that after being stuck at a certain rating for literally 20 matches, going 3 and 3 each match.
Going 4 and 2 (w/l) gets me no rating, but going 2 and 4 nets me -50 rating.
I don’t understand why losses are weighted heavier than wins, especially on characters that have a winning record.
Pay attention to your MMR more so than your rating.
If you climb and end up with say 2k rating and 2050mmr, and go 3-3, you’re going to lose no rating and may in fact gain some, but your MMR will drop depending on the number of losses.
Now next game you go 0-6 and your MMR takes a HUGE hit, but your rating doesn’t drop nearly as much since your mmr may have been over your rating.
Now next game you’ll notice you have like 1900 mmr and maybe 1960+ rating, The game tries very hard to get your rating to your mmr, this means you Lose far more points per loss and gain less per win. So you go 4-2 in this game and either gain 0 or a small amount.
Maybe you went 2-4 this match instead, since your mmr was considerably lower than your rating not only did you lose like 60 points, your mmr tanked even further. Doing this several times and 3-3s will lose you rating because your MMR has tanked and the game is pushing your rating down to it.
You climb out of this by boosting your mmr through consecutive positive win rate matches.
so here’s the issue
you : 2400 CR
lobby : 2400
3-3 net gain / loss 0
you : 2400
lobby : 2380
3-3 net gain / loss 0
you : 2400
lobby : 2370
3-3 net gain / loss 0
you : 2400
lobby : 2360
4-2 net gain / loss 0
saw this on reddit, we need more Pinning power on the forums
MMR is wild and makes no sense. At 2550cr I went 5-1. Then was bumped into a lobby of 2900cr players. I was 2-4 and still gained 30 points. Next lobby I got a full lobby of 2300 warriors (2 arms and 1 fury) and the healers were 1800 and 1900. I go 0-6 because the healers are awful and as a Lock against double warrior with spear… I just die without a good healer.
Going 4-2 is barely helping you. You need to stomp 6-0 and 5-1 after the amount of games you have played to make a dent in your MMR.
Most melee I see having issues have no awareness. Good melee don’t waste trinket and they’re always LoSing whenever their healer is CCd. If there’s any chance they can die, they’re running.
Going 4-2 is great unless you’re smurfing.
You took that out of context. Going 4-2 is great if you do it 10 games in a row. If you go 4-2 once after going 0-6, 1-5, 2-4, and 3-3 for 10 rounds straight.
Ah, my bad.
Yeah, a good lobby or two won’t fix ten bad ones. Kind of unfortunate that the game isn’t a little better about conveying this because no doubt people who are cratering are waiting for any little respite from the losses, go 4-2+ and get nothing.
