I don't quite get that :o *its been a while since I've read this thread and the Comprehensive Ladder thread, but I have read them so I may be a little off. This is a total layman's perspective and I'm not well-versed in statistics at all. If you picture your MMR on a graph, it is constantly jumping up and down, and it is really difficult to say if you are exactly as good as your MMR at that exact time will dictate. You may just be on a hot streak and just as quick as you got your MMR to a certain point it can drop back down. So to get a grasp of where you stand at that moment you take a subset of data surrounding that point in time and average it out. By taking a bigger subset of data than just that one point you can say with more confidence that your MMR is closer to that moving average. If that doesn't click with you this image Excalibur has in the other thread may help more: + Show Spoiler [Moving Average] + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/aYJDn.jpg) | ||

Actually this is flawed, he could lose 50 games in a row, start being matched against diamonds or w/e and still remain @ #200 grandmaster. | ||

If you're facing Diamond opponents and you're in Grandmaster, you're earning little if any points and it would make it difficult if not impossible to spend more bonus pool than you take in. | ||

Once the client/server restarts and patches it should be released since two weeks ago after the server reset and patched it was a new season. Should be around 1-2pm EST / 10-11am PST (rough estimate on the down time.) | ||
