How your rank can literally be 100% not your mmr.
My MMR is gold. My rank? Iron 1.
lol k.
EDIT: Now this is Flex so there is that. but I still find it kind of funny that it just slaps you in Iron because "Eh that symbol has no impact on who you play against anyway"
It overcompensates so that folks who are sinking don't see themselves sinking. Kinda needed given how fucking massive their demotion protection is. The easier fix is to actually require a relevant # of "placement" games. 10 is just not a very convincing sample size but that's all ya need for your shiny icon.
Its bullshit done to make folks feel better when they sink and other folk feel good about climbing an entire Rank. end of the day its a population curve and 50-60% of the games players are gonna be near the starting center MMR.
Where do you see your MMR?
