I have searched everywhere and heard many arguments saying it makes it drop drastically and others that say it will just drop it like a normal loss. So what i'm asking is does anyone have and evidence or a good explanation for how it works, as my internet can go funny in games usually early game and wanted to know if its affecting me in a terrible way. Thank Beavers | ||

Thank Beavers It's quite interesting for me to hear some players think disconnecting would drop your MMR more than usual. There is no rational reason for that to be true, at least none I can think of right now. Leaving MMR unchanged or lowering it less can not be done either, as the losing players would then simply disable their network when losing and experience a smaller MMR drop. The only rational decision is to say "too bad, man" to the player getting dropped and count the disconnect as a normal loss for MMR and stats. Luckily, Blizzard employees think rationally and have adopted this ^_^ | ||

There is a "full" explanation of how the ladder mechanics work on the official blizz site somewhere. Long story short, the system does in no way recognise HOW you lost, or HOW you won. It doesn't care. Neither does it care about the game length, the APMs involved, or if one player completely smashed the other. It does not matter - all it cares about is if the game was won or lost. So, if you're having connection problems, just look at your match history. Points change indicates MMR change. If it shows up as a loss, it means you lost MMR. If the match shows up as a draw (only likely if the loss of connection happens during matchmaking / loading) then you will not have lost MMR. In any case, don't sweat it. If your mmr drops slightly you'll get easier opponents - only if you're getting really loads of disconnects is it actually likely to significantly affect your matchmaking. | ||
