Seems kind of pointless if thats the case, since you will never increase your MMR much more than a few hundred points with an only slightly better than 50% win ratio. | ||

Seems kind of pointless if thats the case, since you will never increase your MMR much more than a few hundred points with an only slightly better than 50% win ratio. The reason you end up with a 50% win ratio is because it matches you with equally skilled opponents; because that is your skill level you win about half the time. If you were to increase in skill then your MMR would increase until you're once again winning half your matches. There is no such thing as forcing a 50% win ratio; it is what occurs naturally when the system works. | ||

Seems kind of pointless if thats the case, since you will never increase your MMR much more than a few hundred points with an only slightly better than 50% win ratio. First of all, it doesn't force 50% by matching you against harder opponents, it matches you with and against better players. In the end you should end up close to 50%, but you often have winning streaks when you are adjusting your MMR, as when you are just starting out. You don't always get 19 points, it should depend at least on the strenght of both teams, among other things. Your uncertainty drastically changes how fast you move up or down. So no, it's not pointless and you could get hundreds if not over a thousand MMR on a fresh account, for example, moving up extremelly fast. | ||

Seems kind of pointless if thats the case, since you will never increase your MMR much more than a few hundred points with an only slightly better than 50% win ratio. If you are at the MMR you should be (skill-wise), then the system should give you 50% w/l. If you are better than your current MMR, you will naturally have a >50% winrate and thus go up in MMR. | ||

Matchmaking systems like this never require consistency. It should actually be easier to move up or down if you are inconsistent, since the uncertainty factor is higher. It's goal is to create even games, not making sure you are good enough to move on to the next level, so it doesn't need to make sure you are better than the other players you are currently playing with before adjusting. Obvious example is the first few levels. It often increases your MMR by a ton if you dominate a match, which could increase your MMR more than it should. If that happens you just end up losing a few games and it adjusts. | ||
