EPTBut I mean seriously. Two losses back to back then a win and I get deranked TWICE over that period? -_-
I genuinely didn't know that was possible.

I didnt play for a couple of weeks in and around the new patch and had to win 3-4 games to get back to playing with LE/LEMs. First few games were like high dmg and and even some MG2 LE mixes. Really weird. | ||

Not to demote you now Also, if that means Global will regain some kind of relevance, that's good for me. I don't really care about losing ranks. | ||

"We did initiate a slow shift of the Skill Group boundaries recently, due to an increase in players and a substantial upward drift over time in the skill groups distribution. While this won’t impact the quality of your matches (you are matched based on an underlying rank value and not the visible Skill Group), many players will experience a change in their Skill Group as the distribution returns to a bell curve centered approximately at Gold Nova 4. We also shipped a recent update that will automatically monitor and maintain consistency of the players skill groups distribution. That should eliminate the need to make such disruptive boundary adjustments in the future." | ||

I think valve shouldve just come up with a completely new set of ranks so no one feels like they lost "their" rank The way I see it, the changes were added across the board so if you end up where you belong skill wise thats all i care about. There were alot of inflated rank with shitty games at my level where dudes were just absolute trash or way better than me. I just want good games and being able to learn and adjust to how people play as I get better. Im not interested in grinding ranks and losing doesn't bother me at all as long as the game is good. | ||

Your play isn't going to be 100% or even 80% all the time, teammates affect how well you do, maybe you're forced to play a different position than you're used to etc so there's a big variance in the performance of a player from game to game. This rank change doesn't affect the people you get in your games at all, ranks are just like big boxes around a certain mmr range and they just moved the boxes around a bit | ||

This rank change doesn't affect the people you get in your games at all, ranks are just like big boxes around a certain mmr range and they just moved the boxes around a bit There is a difference between having a bad game and just being bad players, its easy to tell the difference, when you are able to observe decision making and mechanics from someone who just shouldnt be at that level, its rather easy to tell. It might be anecdotal but the last 10 or so go games I went from a huge mismatch of ranks and players in the first 5 to a very healthy consistency in the last 5 and I expect that to consistency to continue once the distribution normals out.+ Show Spoiler + Ive only played about 10 games in 3 weeks so theres that but still And even if it isnt, that doesnt matter, if you were a certain MMR and got deranked twice over then your MMR didnt deserve to be at that rank and shouldnt be matched up with said players thats the bottom line. Its all about perception. GN or DMG or whatever is just as meaningful as its taken to be. There was a large influx of players and the mmr percentages got skewed here and there. So they adjusted them. I dont see the big deal. | ||

The underlying MMR system is the same as its always been. Only the labels(ranks) for various MMR levels have changed. if you've ever seen the mechanics of common MMR systems, they can be prone to inflation. Better players play more and get more points. Lesser players play less. Hence over a long period of time C+ goes from being awful to actually pretty damn good. Valve stated they are working on a dynamic rank adjustment system to the labels will automatically adjust based on the active population, rather than just setting ranks at arbitary MMR point increments. | ||
