I wanted to take the time and say thank you!
My main account was at a low MMR, but I noticed I kept getting matches with a lot of people who were in it for that quick pip loot, which cost a few matches for me. Even if you rally together or give a few pointers it didn’t seem to matter.

Regardless, I kept my head up, turned on some feels good jams, and cranked away to the point where I’m almost out of bronze. c= I know to most folks that means nothing, but it was the fact that I wasn’t getting ROFL stomp by pre-made 5-mans anymore. Last season I was match up with players out of my skill bracket at the time.

Overall. I know you have a lot of folks poking to change it back or dislike the new layout. However, I enjoy it and wanted to say thank you for the new layout.

THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO ASK….
Is maybe a tooltip or somewhere in PVP thread explain how MMR. points given and taken.
I noticed at the start I was getting 30 points taken when I lost and 20 to 28 gain. Then my 12th match in it started rewarding me with 11 to 16 points for a win and taking 11 to 12 away for a loss. It seems the higher I got in rank the fewer points were taken I guess if that’s right?

To the players who are scared or upset after 3 lost matches. I went for 8 lost…2 wins for placement. I sucked it up and even though I didn’t like my spot, just as I did with Overwatch. Yeah, it’s for sure a 50/50 thing with team/players skills. Though I kept my Thomas the train choo choo, it got to the point that things started to go smoother. Then it became 8 wins and 2 or 3 lost, or 4 wins and 1 loss and 2 wins after etc.
Keep your heads up. If anything, pro or players who don’t mind passing some wise words to folks who are in this season.

Not in a yelling way. But sure a few pointers in a nice calm way could help many. If they don’t want to listen or act like they know what is going on then leave them be. You can only help those who want help.

Yes! I totally agree. Landed kinda low too, after 2 days figured it out – if you give precise directions to your teammates your chances to win raise significantly! And when I’m not using foul language :P they really start to listen lol.

Your story is one I like to see in gw2. glad to see it is working out for you.

To the win and loss rating values, from glicko system, you gain more if you beat higher opponents. losing to yourself or lower has the biggest effect on your mmr value.

Think of the bell curve. the closer you are to the center of it with the center being rating disparity, the larger the effect should be.
