have i mentioned how utterly shit recalibration has made MM? soloq with anything less than a 5stack is impossible due to the sheer stupidity of lone pubs recalibration was a great fucking idea, 5/7 10/10 8/8 great FUCKING IDEA | ||

Silver is fucking savage these days. Played on my GN acc with a friend who is LEM and another friend, and we got fucking slaughtered. It's crazy, getting 1 shotted by SEM's halfway cross the map by their AK's. If Silvers & Low golds are gonna play this well I'm scared of reaching MG1 -.- | ||

Why do companies like Blizzard and valve refuse to show mmr in any of their games? Is it that horrible for players to actually see how they're doing? At least sc2 has a point system where you can feel like you're progressing. Just hiding the mmr behind 15 ranks that seemingly takes forever to get out of does not. | ||

My smurf derankend from LE to MGE, but I cant work up at the moment. 16 games, 14 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie. Would really like to now where I stand at the moment. And for the GN/Silver stuff: My smurf deranked from LE to MGE, my main on the other hand, had to rerank because I didnt play on him for arround 6 weeks: After I won the ranking game, I was ranked into GN4 (from LE, lol). And now I am sitting there, leading GNs into the field, topfragging the games. It is fun, but stupid. I am thinking about traiding all my Items to my smurf and just let my main rest. Alot of players from MGE-LE deranked up to Nova 1 because they didnt play a game for a time. And also smurfes deranked 2, so old LEMs with MG2 smurfs now sit in Silver. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1ZWPD8n.jpg) GOLD NOVA 1. Beautiful. Win against LEMs? Gold Nova 1. Because we at Valve are too lazy to write a real algorithm. | ||

Having a game against LEM's has nothing to do with it. No I agree with Nihil here. Even if I stopped playing counter strike for half a year, I would still be better than people 7 ranks below me. Losing 1 or 2 ranks because of the ladder scew seems fair, maybe another one, or even 2, for having been away. but 7 ranks? That's insane. | ||

I play about 1 maybe 2 games every week and sometimes less than that and hover around LE DMG but the quality of players I get to play with and against is much higher than when I was LE and LEM and thats fine with me. Sure there is a healthy dose of noobs and toxics sprinkled in but thats just MM. As for the point about not playing for half year and still being better. First, you dont know that for sure, but its probably true. Second the game has no way of knowing that period and it will penalize you accordingly. | ||

Because then your rank is gone and you'll be reranked like me most likely :p My problem is that I'm now completely unable to play with my teammates until I've ranked up like SEVEN freaking times in soloQ. Or maybe I only need five or six lol. And all because I have uni and exams and 2 months without playing is something I can't change. To me, that is too much MMR decay and hurts the playerbase severely. Not to mention that the situation apparently is so that (according to reddit) a lot of better players are stuck in GN2-3 while the people we played today at LE-LEM level weren't very good at all. So a hump essentially. To me that's a pretty broken system, caused by a change that very few ppl actually asked for. They could've done another VAC wave and it would've benefited MM much more imho. Oh well, I'll see if I can be assed to soloQ for months to get back to my teammates level or just quit the game (or just stick to FaceIT). | ||

I've got a pretty good handle on how it works now and Ive always played casually. What hes saying is you didnt just decay down to GN1. The MMR ranges for what qualifies as DMG is now much higher than what you left at and decay bumped you down a bit further. I know MMR is cancerous, im not saying it isnt. But the Ranking system isnt really the kind of validation you should be looking for with this game or any game. I know its nice and the sense of achievement is worth alot but you can just atleast give it a go now that your back to see where you fit. | ||
