Guild Wars 2

tldr version: Have you had a lot of long winning or losing streaks? Like winning or losing 9 of 10? Or 18 of 20?

full version: I took a long break from this game, so I just got into Solo/Team Queue. I’ve already had multiple improbable streaks, both winning and losing.

At one point, I was two games under .500 and lost 15 of 17. Putting me 17 games under .500. Then I immediately won something like 22 of 27 to get back to .500. Those stretches were back to back, so it all occurred at the same MMR.

Statistically, assuming a truly random matchmaking, the probability of these sorts of streaks are extremely low. Of course, matchmaking isn’t truly random. It has to work with the players who happen to queue up at a given moment, it’s doing some work to try and fine your true winrate, etc. But to get the sorts of streaks I’ve seen, the matchmaking has to be far from random.

All that said, this is a huge game and I’m only one player. The odds that a handful of people see stretches like I’ve seen are actually close to 100%. So I could just be that one guy who got the bizarre streaks. So my question is, has anyone else seen these sorts of highly unlikely streaks?
