MMR Algorithm needs an Overhaul
S3 is simply S2 MMR Hell part 2. For me it’s been 3 matches and 3 losses. Just horrible match making.
So with S1 games would go:
win > loss > win > loss > win > loss
S2 went :
win > win > win > win > win > loss > win > win > win
or if you have bad MMR:
Loss > loss > loss > loss > loss > win > loss
and now S3 is a mixture of the 2 skewed towards S1, so if you have high MMR:
win > loss > win > loss > win > win > win > win > loss > win > loss > win > loss
and with Low MMR:
win > loss > win > loss > loss > loss > loss > win > loss > win > loss > win > loss
and since they don’t reset MMR between seasons, if you start getting into a losing pattern/streak, there is almost no point in playing this season or ANY OTHER season to come forever.
guess form a team is the only way and that’s such a different way of playing SPvP, you might as well be playing a different game.
and In case anyone’s wondering I was Legend x2 last season and I still think this system is bad.

7 losses straight, that’s it and they were blow outs. So say again?
oh, and now matched with a premade.

MMR is probably fine. They probably should have just reset it for this season. All the people that got carried previous seasons now have higher MMR than they should.
Day one and it’s already started. Fear not, I have a solution: evenly distribute crappy players on both teams!

You mean have teams being balanced??? <gasp> Yes, that’s how it should be instead of this Trolltopia the Dev’s devised. Heck, in school gym class it always used to be Team 1 picks and then team 2 picks, this way the teams were balanced and fun.
That’s way too logical.

Yeah, and how did that work out in highschool gym? You find the nerdiest weediest player on the other team and you single them out, shove them around til they’re sidelined and give up playing. Or their own teammates will continue passing the ball to the same 3 people and never let the 2 anywhere near it since they’re useless.
Given a choice, everyone wants teammates of similar level to themselves. So you’ll get the 5 players vs another team of top players. You get a team of 5 medium players against another team of 5 medium players. And then you get a team of the 5 weakest against another team of the 5 weakest.
If it works out, the top players duke it out over 1st and 2nd. The mediums duke it out over 3rd and 4th. And the weakest duke it out over 5th and 6th.
MMR is probably fine. They probably should have just reset it for this season. All the people that got carried previous seasons now have higher MMR than they should.
And many many people have a lower mmr than they should hence why not resetting it is a huge mistake.
