Q:
One foot out the door, yet again.
Anet, how do I raise my MMR?
In a game where matches preset you with heavy favoritism towards win streaking or lose streaking you to 50% win rate?
Well one can only imagine that it has something to do with who it lets you win streak across.
There is an aspect of skill in GW2, don’t get me wrong.
There is also an unusually high aspect of dumb luck involved.
I use the name Barbie on all of my characters.
From my understanding, you obviously want to win games, but also work hard at getting close matches if you lose. You gain or lose MMR based on the relative skill of each team as well as how you performed. Win 500-0 against better opponents = big gain, lose 499-500 against better opponents = small loss.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but in simple terms I’d just say do your best at all times for max gain and less loss. Don’t throw, don’t give up because you’re down 100 points, etc. If you have a 100 point lead, keep pushing for more of a blow out.

I don’t think this is correct: score does not factor into MMR, only the MMR of you and your opponents, and the outcome of the match.

Thanks for the link. It uses “game outcomes” to determine rating, but that could mean different things. It could just be win/loss, or it could take myscore – enemyscore and assign ranges so you have outcomes like bigwin/win/closewin/closeloss/loss/bigloss. I checked the wiki, but it doesn’t state anything to indicate one way or another.
ITs just wins/losses.
reroll ele. Not joking. worked for me.
