If you have a bad w/r in Masters everyone will think your bad. But people don't take into account MMR..

For example, my account with my teams Tag in my name (so the account I care about) had a crazily high MMR (about top4 masters ish) and I had taken a break before the start of the season. So naturally I go like 10-20 at the start on my "main account". Frrom here on, it's hard to play because you feel pressure not to lose and further increase this ridiculously bad w/l.

Meanwhile I have a smurf that was at mid masters MMR at the start, and now I'm at 64 wins/40 losses. This account doesn't have my team name though so I can't represent "myself" with it ie in clan wars etc.

So i'm stuck with this stupid account that has a terrible winrate. Every time I log I feel pressure to win cause of my bad winrate, and end up going on huge losing streaks against top 8 master players. It's caused me to go inactive on my team because I just can't win games on it when I'm pressued by such a bad w/l record. Every game it's.. "i really have to win this so i'm not 11-22" then I play bad / cheese and lose while I play macro games on my smurf account and am top 10.

Oh well, guess my point is, BLIZZARD Y U NO GIVE ME WAY TO RESET W/L RATIO?!?

who cares about winrate...points and mmr is all that matters. you know you're better than some stupid number anyway.

my win rate is around 100 wins 103 losses. I can't believe I've played that many games in like 4 days...and lost that many. Though compared to your 11-22 I shouldn't feel so bad. It's been a weird adventure

Did you guys read my OP lol? I'm saying that W/L ratio doesn't mean anything (because of how MMR works), but everyone else thinks it does

just as an example, on GSL Off the Record when wolf is picking people he will be like "well, this guy has a 50% w/r in masters so he's pretty decent". what if that guy started at diamond MMR and went 10-0, then hit mid masters+ MMR and went 0-10? then no, by masters standards hes not decent

oh well, I would be so much more active if blizzard would implement a way to clear your w/l. until then there's always that "what if" factor on my main account where i might go on another losing streak and tilt and suddenly be 10-30..

im pretty sure the people they're talking about in gsl aren't playing diamond leaguers to bump their win rate.

win rate doesnt matter if you arent a pro. and. frankly i dont think "everyone" thinks it does. "everyone" might say it does in the realm of professional play; but professional play and ladder play are not the same universe.

There's no need to care about what people think regarding your winrate. Let them underestimate you.

Do the name change make your main account your smurf, and make your smurf accout your main. Problem is gone!

Lose games until you drop to diamond, then your losses are no longer displayed. Problem solved.

lol I remember feeling like this when I started playing in season 2. Went in with a 30%~ winrate at first at GM mmr.

My clanmates gave me hell for being a skillless newbie. There were even TL threads about 'LOL LOOK AT THE NEW GM LEAGUE FULL OF NEWBIES WITH NEGATIVE WINRATES' when it first came out.
