Guild Wars 2

Seems to me that MMR wants you to be at no more than 50% winrate, aka punish win-streaks.
Pips system punishes losing, which MMR wants you to anyways. Assuming MMR works, you will be going +1|2 or -1|2 depending on win lose. Assuming MMR is doing its work, matches will be close in MMR, meaning most matches will be +1 or -1, with a 50% win rate, you will be going up/down like a tide, taking you nowhere.

How thought this was a good idea?!

This is exactly why the community has reacted so poorly to the changes, it’s an obviously flawed system that actually punishes you for playing appropriately, and rewards you for forcing lose streaks to tank you’re MMR.
It’s also why I’m going back to gw1 until this blows over (and it will unless their actual goal is to straight up alienate the community), until then I’m not suggesting you do this (in fact despite being unwilling to personally partake in pvp atm, I discourage it) but people have purposely tanked their MMR in order to get ahead https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3v91ec/im_rocketing_up_the_pvp_pip_system_already_tier_3/

Having people afk botting spawn to get their stupid mmr down to take some kind of perceived easy route to legendary is just plain destroying this game.

It started with a reddit post yesterday, and has been gotten so kittening bad, I cant play more than 2 games without getting some kittened kid afk botting spawn on my team.

League should be RESET immediatly, mmr should be bracketed, forcing a higher mmr on you as soon as you move up in league.

But hey, its anet…. they havent even managed to balance elite specs properly since bwe3.
