Guild Wars 2

you have 10 looking identical coins(but all differ for weight) and a 2 pan balance, you need to weight all of them every time. 5 vs 5.
how do you proceed to know exactly who weight more than others?

if you can solve this I think you can understand this MM.

s1 MM have meritocracy system. at the end your mmr is exactly your skill level.
s2 have a system that give a clear advantage to ppl with high mmr, is like give money to rich ppl. is that a meritocracy system?

so the answers to the poll are wrong. fix them please.

is not really like you say.

with S1 system put you in a fair match, you can play better than what “system think” and that adjust what “system think” or worse.
the brick wall in S1 is 50% win rate. if you have that, that mmr is your skill.

in S2 the system put you against team that are probably better that your if your mmr is under 50% of all player mmr.
if your mmr is the bottom 5 mmr you have 100%lose, if you are top 5 mmr you get 100% win.
so the mmr system put you in a match that confirm your mmr. there is no adjust at what “system think”.
more you have no fair match, no fun.
in s2 the brick wall is 50% win rate too, for the mass that stay in the middle and have in their pip range +7-7 the same number of team over and under.
and still you get e team above you? you lose, under ? you win…so why play?
and how many time it will take? dunno.
and for works as intended, you really need to have 1 team for pip…that is almost impossible.
note that in S2 we spoke mostly about team, your faith is hard linked to your team faith, because if your mmr is 1327, you will get 4 ppl at 1327, that due low population will be the same forever.
here because S2 will give an upper hand to team instead of soloq, because basically in soloq you are in a team with no organization.
and S2 will never give as output the best player.

S1 vs S2 is an unfair match of S2
