I understand keeping people entertained on climbing through the divisions but I literally spent all last year climbing to gold just to be put back to where I was. I could understand if I did bad in my placement matches to drop me a few divisions but from g4 to s4 is just for winning 7/10 is brutal
Parceval1 votesSame here, exact same.
I'm pretty sure they changed the formula this year to (current mmr + 800)/2 + 25/win - 25/loss
Which means you can't get higher than s3 if you're at g4.
Horrible, lazy, and embarrassing for a $1.5b/yr company and growing to still have such a poor matchmaking algorithm and system. But, alas, here we are.
Yeahwhatevr1 votesYeah I know my mmr was terrible going into the placement matches, and I knew not to expect anything good from them but there should be a cap to the amount of divisions you can drop or maybe an entire category 5divisons is the cap
JiggOfTheJungle1 votesIf you got to Gold before, you can easily get it again, plus you should be getting 20+ LP per game. If you play well consistently you'll be back in Gold in no time.
