Let's be honest. Your matchmaking is shit.

I dont believe in your SECRET formula of every team has 50% chance to win that is based on some SECRET data. THIS IS PURE BS. I can't believe people fall for it.

I want to have a clear understanding of whom I am being matched with, against and why.

While I don't agree entirely with the conspiracy theory of the OP, I would like to see my own MMR. Upvoted

Lol, you can't remove MMR, MMR is the entire system...

The Division rank is all just flair.

Displaying MMR is fine though.

I've been saying this for years now, what the fuck is the point of a ranking system if you are matched by a hidden MMR???

If you have Diamond MMR in Bronze (due to queue dodging and negative LP without affecting MMR for example), then your skill level is:

drum roll

DIAMOND.

You will be matched with other Diamonds, even though your rank says Bronze.

Thus, ranks are truly fucking useless and arbitrary, since your MMR is your actual skill level.

MMR should be visible, or even partially at least, like SC2 or DotA 2, or Overwatch even.

And promo series are completely fucking unnecessary in this system.

Matchmaking system is totally busted. Been playing since season 3.

I've been playing HOTS lately. And let's say, you are gold 3. While in a ranked match EVERYONE is gold 3.

But in league. You could be gold 3 and you're playing against plat v's, and gold 1-5. Where in the universe does this even begin to make sense? People obviously in those higher tiers play better obviously cause they wouldn't be there if they didn't. Or the lower tiers where people don't play AS WELL as the others in the game.

Then occasionally you got the "elo booster" or the smurf. All too common. You can literally buy accounts these days and just play ranked.

The smurfs and elo boosters play so well that they pretty much dominate every game they get into until they hit there elo. HOW IT SHOULD BE IS there should be "real mmr" and "smurf mmr". If you are let's say you are silver 2 smurf or elo boosting. Then you should also play against silver 2 players who are smurfing or elo boosting. IT SHOULD BE BALANCED but it's not.

They put 2 good players on each team with a variety of other differently skilled set people. Too many variables to justify being balanced.

I haven't even played HOTS that much and i'm almost gold. BECAUSE GAMES ARE BALANCED PERIOD.

This is my last point, in chess, where MMR was actually developed. Gold 3 players play against gold 3 players. They don't put a fucking gold 3 against a plat player.

I still don0t get it, what's exactly the secret mmr

We have ranks and ratings, just match us with people in our rank bracket? Let us climb/fall based on our performance? Add a "time factor" that affects rating to avoid kill hunting and drawing out games?

And when I say to people that MMR is a lie and that we never almost get 50% chances to win, they say I'm stupid and it's bullshit. In your face now idiots!

I have made comments about this in the past

players of equal Tiers should be matched against each other ( as priority) and only filled from other tiers when lack of players in the pool are available. B3 should be = B3

if B3 can beat B3, that would strongly imply the player B2 etc, going up the ladder.

IF MMR is used, there shouldnt be 'tiers'

Why use 1 systems to express rank, but use a completely different scale to matchmake for it??

Logged in just to second. It would be nice too see how MMR is effected. Elo hell sucks. Do it like rated WoW arenas, it shows after every game. Same with Dota2.

Is there any real reason why we should not be allowed to see our own mmr?

Praetor Notorias5/4/2018, 6:26:34 PM1 votes

When it was visible people used it as a cane to beat each other over the head with. Essentially in league, ANYTHING that can be seen as leverage in an argument or to validate someone's feelings gets used. This is why you can't see people's match history in client anymore and why it was removed from the API.

The phrase "This is why we can't have nice things" explains it rather well.
