Honestly I think we all or for the most of it know what is wrong with the whole mmr system And we’ve all been given examples of how and why. However when it pertains to the battles a few users have taken it upon themselves to come with advices and such.
I think this is one fundamental advice. Read the teamchat. In my eyes reading the teamchat is where is starts. Through all the class balance, through the entire mmr hell.
there is one thing that is equal. And that is the teamchat. One thing your build or match-ups cannot really influence.
Teamchat will not nessisarily be a live safer. But it’s in my eyes one of the tools that will influence the flow of battle, the rotations and even how to fight.
Teamchat is where u can increase your chances. and where u will find less inbalance.
The harsh truth is that most people have an iq between 90 and 110. Correct me If I’m wrong but I think only the upper 2 percent has an iq from above 130. Then remove proffesionals from equations, remove the vets and high mmr players. what u will get is the average. the match-ups are as followed. you fight either people with similar mmr, higher or lower mmr. this in no way means that i’m not believing in the mmr hell i believe it exists however
honestly sticking your heads together can really bring the odds in your favour. U lose absolutely nothing by reading the teamchat. even if u believe said suggestions are bullkitten even if u see a lot of toxicity. U can Always pick something out out.
Usefull information available in teamchat:
>Getting tips on rotating around the map from possibly more experienced players.
>How many people contesting a node?
>who is going to cap or decap which node(this will decrease the odds of double capping close, something people often seem to complain about)
>people telling u to(node of your choosing), u can disagree and decided not to do it. but, it will atleast start a thinking process. It might turn out to be the correct choice and u can take that knowledge in the next battle. It can turn out to be wrong and use it as a reminder what to do, it might even start a small discussion(preverably not in battle)
>How many people incoming? again u can choose to ignore this or disagree but even reading this will help u behind the tought process of certain players. why player x is going this way or why player y is going that way? I believe this info is compatabile with the above suggestion of players telling you to either hold, cap, contest or decap Since pvp is a fast paced game, u cannot Always expect people to write an entire essay on why this thier strategy. U need to pick the pieces and fit the puzzles. It might turn out that these small sugesstions could clear up in earlier matches as to why that person told u to go this way or that way. Maby u yourself can perfect this knowledge. if the player is wrong or trolling. U can also use this to either gauge his or here credibility.
>Who is poisonous, toxic or announces thier afk? Well u can use that info to use the block function, Or even report in certain cases even tough it doesn’t work immeadatly.
While reading the teamchat is by no means the golden ticket out of the mmr hell. It is definately something i believe one should consider scimming through. I believe thier is a correlation between mistakes in ranked and not reading teamchat. Believe me guys.
U might have newbies in your team but there is a big chance the other team has newbies as well. Some mistakes can easily be prevented by just readin the teamchat and those are zerging and double capping.
those are my thoughts really. I felt i should do something constructive instead of whine. Maby more experienced players can expand and or have even better advice to give?
