So I know that the only way to reset MMR is to skip a season of play. What if I don't do that? Would intentionally losing my games reset my MMR as well?

it would make you lose MMR, but it's also bannable from what I know

It would lower it. You can tank your MMR by constantly losing but it doesn't reset.

the best way to reset it is not to touch your account for 2 seasons. Otherwise there is no way. You can tank it though.

Losing, is not a bannable offense and i have no clue why you would think so, DexLy.

You don't reset it by losing.

Would it make getting into diamond a lot more difficult? I'm a Terran Platninum and want to experiment with Zerg. Once I get the basics down, I'm thinking of tanking down into Silver then working my way back up with Zerg or Terran.

Whats the point of resetting your MMR, if you aren't where you're supposed to be you'll go up or down accordingly.

Purposely losing is bannable. Mainly to prevent portrait farmers.

Just switch races and try hard and lose anyway. Your MMR will adjust quickly and you may be surprised at how quickly you improve with the new race.

There has been report of people getting banned when they lost 40 games in less than 5 seconds.
It's been posted somewhere on TL but I'm too lazy to find it.

Edit: Not 40 exactly but minimum 40 games

Tanking games is actually a bannable offence, Purposely losing could cause your account to be banned, Blizzard has stated this themselves. Although I doubt it really ever happens, just don't quit games immediatley, let it play out for a few minutes before leaving

Intenionally losing is not bannable. I have tanked my MMR from diamond to bronze three times and blizzard doesnt seem to mine.

I've tanked 30 in a row before and had no problem. I just did F10-N right away. You dont really need your MMR to go to zero. I stayed in diamond but instead of playing masters/diamond players I was playing low plat and high gold players.

Might I ask you what is the point in doing that? Is it because you want to off-race or try out a new race perhaps?

Do you really reset your MMR by not playing an entire season?
I haven't noticed that O.o

I've seen plenty of people do this, I don't see the issue. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to want to practice against lower level people. There are plenty of stupid reasons as well, but that's what this ladder system does to you.
Pretty much every single online tournament however does frown upon it and would easily get you banned.

If I remember correctly, It won't reset hidden MMR, online your ladder rank.
As in, you will have to do 5 placement matches and so forth.

Can't stand portrait farming, MMR tanking noobs, these are the same people that cheat and hack to get every achievment, thus ruining the validity of them for everyone. Either don't play for 2 seasons or switch races and deal with it. You can also play customs beforehand to get a hang of the race. Getting platinum level skill does not take long at all, pick a build for each MU and follow it.

That's stupid. Why not just play in platinum, and lose there?

Blizzard states they ban for it, and I'm glad they do. That's ridiculous. Just lose yours games normally.

Yes it is, it's just not necessarily caught. I know two people that have both been banned for tanking their MMR. One was a masters players who tanked down to bronze so his sister could play. He was banned for either 2 weeks or one month, I don't recall.
