Amazing how people think it's pure coincidence the bell curve of this game is whack
Lets go over this.
This is an unnatural bell-curve. Flat out.
Every other game on that list (even different genre's) have a natural bell curve. The median is the average and takes up the most part of the community.
(Its important to note, heroes of the storm is a little different because it underwent MASSIVE mmr placement changes not too long ago, so the results are a little scewed because its recovering from placing people too high)
Youre supposed to start in the middle of the ladder. If you start at the bottom of the ladder, you have nowhere to fall to. That's already very bad.
If you have nowhere to fall to, youre placed in an environment with people of drastically different skill levels. Someone could be really good, someone could be really bad, or someone could be very average. But because of the environment you were placed in, those baddies don't leave because they have nowhere else to go, and those good/average guys cant leave because of the inconsistencies in skill levels in games.
This isn't an excuse, this is a fact. It's not natural to have the VAST majority (not a small difference) of players in the bottom of the ladder.
This game is the odd man out. Not everything else. All the other games even in different genre's show they have a loose natural bellcurve.
To say that the system isn't partially rigged is naive and stupid. You're looking at pure evidence that shows THIS is the odd man out, and you're telling me "No everyone else is the odd man out" just because Riot tells you so.
this does not mean that everything is rigged against you. It means that important key features were designed and prohibit things from laying in natural order.
You know why its called natural? Because if left be, it will eventually revert to that state. It means that Riot is actively trying to keep things this way.
This game DOES have a forced 50% winrate. No, it doesn't mean that every other game youll get an instant loss, its an algorithm.
Wanna know something funny? Not a single person in this game (who wasn't literally boosting) has 58+% winrate with over 500 ranked games played. Not a single one.
But there are plenty of them in other games. Hell even I as a master player in heroes of the storm have a solid 58% winrate.
The system is DESIGNED to work against you from the start. It places you at the bottom of the ladder in an inconsistent environment, then turns around and decides you haven't lost enough games lately. Its so blatantly obvious it's disgusting.
Players are naturally consistent in their play. It's how the human mind works. They will typically have the same behavior, mistakes, and playstyles across almost all games without outside influence like drugs because it's ingrained into your being. Your behavior and patterns are part of your preference and personality. This means that when you win 12 games in a row, then magically start losing 12 games in a row, you are probably not the main cause of it. You play consistently most of the time, so there should be no reason for such a drastic change in results.
And once again, no other games do this without an inherently obvious answer. I do not face massive winstreaks then massive loss streaks in Heroes of the Storm. I lose 9 games in a row playing Kel Thuzad because I fucking suck at him, but playing but onetricking someone Im great at will not pretty much ever result in 9 wins then 9 losses ESPECIALLY not as frequent as they are here.
This doesn't mean that you are utterly hopeless to change, You can still climb if you work hard enough. But to say that you are the ONLY factor in making a climb is naive and stupid.
