I just want to know my MU win ratio. ZvT vs ZvZ vs ZvP. In BW I remember having like a 38% ZvZ ratio, 58% ZvT, and like 67% ZvP. Which was weird, because I always felt lost in ZvP and knew exactly what to do in ZvT (it was merely the execution that was lacking).

Now I feel like I have around a 30% win ZvP, 50% ZvZ, and 65%+ ZvT, but I'll never know... unless I download that replay app thingy... which I should do tbh :o

I find it amusing you're actively pursuing a way to quantify how EXACTLY good you are, which is something not even the MMR can do.

Tell you what, I guarantee you that if you ever hit masters league... or just played around 50 to 100 solo games in total (so not very much) throughout your sc2 career, you will stop giving a damn about your MMR.

On a final note: I think if MMR was visible, we'll just see a whole ton of atrociously obnoxious people who'll go around saying, "Ohhh I'm 300 diamond, but my MMR says 800 masters. I'm just too lazy to play my games out to get there lolololol."

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I didn't want to make a new thread on a previously discussed topic.

So, clearly there is a problem with the ladder. Let me explain. Currently I am ranked somewhere in the 20's in my diamond division. What is my next goal? My next goal is to get top 8. Why is this a problem? Because I am facing rank 20-40 masters players. I compared my opponents to those of the top 5 players in my division. They are all facing high diamond opponents.

Please spare me the whole "dude don't worry you're close to being promoted to masters."
Currently, I am just trying to catch up to these other players. Why must I face opponents that would wreck the people atop my division, just to catch up to them? MMR is your true ranking, IMO scrap the entire ladder because it just caters to people that mass games. I always have a few hundred points in my bonus pool because I just don't have that much time to play.

Show me the MMR!

If u play against higher opponent u get more points if u win, Or u lose lesse points if u lose.
Like in the start of s2 when I won a game i get like 30 points (no bonus pool) And when i lost a game I lost around 2 - 6 points.

everyone who is stuck at the borderline diamond/master MMR (yes, including me) knows this is untrue. it is very, very difficult to beat the active rank 50 up master players. exponentially difficult, in fact, as a casual player with worse mechanics.

you might get 50% more points for beating them, but there is also a 90% higher chance that you'll lose
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

It makes too much sense so Blizzard doesn't want to do it.

Seriously though. There are too many useless stats in this game and not enough useful ones. Can't see your losses unless you are in Masters, can't see how close you are to a promotion or demotion, and the after game breakdown could be a bit more detailed.

In Halo, you can at least gauge your leveling, and your skill did have a high correlation with what rank you were. But in this game they don't allow it.


Your losses are roughly equal to your wins. You're close to a promotion when you beat a lot of people in higher leagues than you. You're close to a demotion when you lose to people in leagues lower than you.

You can't see your real MMR because if people knew exactly how it worked, they'd exploit it.


exactly what he said.

Tell me how MMR can be exploited if it's shown? It can't.

It is always better to win, and always worse to lose, and displaying MMR will not change this,

They should include a visible MMR, so then people who are trying to switch races can know when to start farming with their main race to prevent from being demoted.

Anyone agree?

Is your remaining bonus pool 0? If not, spend it. Then you should catch up. If it is 0, what you are saying is impossible, and you most likely havent checked the match history of yourself or the top 8 carefully enough. If everyone in the top of the division has spent his bonus pool the top should be ordered roughly according to MMR.

why should you have to play hundreds of games to know where you stand? why should bonus pool be related to skill rating? it wasn't like that in chess.

I'm not trying to defend the system. I agree that it sucks. I'm just trying to explain to him the situation.

Because it's just easier if people go by leagues.

Trust me 70% of battlenet does not give a shit about hidden values,
They just want to say, "OH HEY I'M GOLD. AWESOME!"

Are you sure you have greasemonkey installed? I also don't think the script is working at the moment. It doesn't take the league lock (stop of bonus pool growth) into account.

just deinstalled and isntalled again, still leads me to the scource and not the download
i use greasemonkey since like 2 years and never any trouble, why now o_______O

I guess you can create a new script from within greasemonkey and then just copy and paste the code. But I can't help you much, because I haven't done it myself.

Here are the bug fixes needed to make the script work again:

Right before this line
BP.bonus4 = BP.bonus3;

add these three lines:
BP.bonus1 = 1272;
BP.bonus2 = 848;
BP.bonus3 = 424;

These are the current bonus pools for 1v1, 2vs2 AT and 3vs3 AT. The numbers are for the EU region. If you want the calculation to be exact for your region you have to replace them, but it's not critical.


This code:
if (bonus_matches == null) {
return;
}
var bonus = bonus_matches[1].trim();
BP.bonusLeft = parseInt(bonus);

must be replaced with this code:

if (bonus_matches == null) {
BP.bonusLeft = 0;
}
else {
var bonus = bonus_matches[1].trim();
BP.bonusLeft = parseInt(bonus);
}


Then the script should work as long as the ladder lock lasts. When season 3 starts it must be updated again.

As I stated I've always been a few hundred points above 0. Here's the problem, if I want to "spend" it, aka play mass games, I'm being paired up against mid to high (50-25) Masters players. It is saying Team's Even, but the truth is I'm getting stomped. I've played around 30 games and I literally haven't moved in my ranking.

If I am ranked ~25 in my diamond division, (forget about MMR for a second) why do I have to beat exponentially better players to climb above players around my level. Flawed no?

What your MMR boils down to is an ACTUAL ranking, that pairs you up with other players in some +/- range of your ranking. Why is this hidden from us?

If Masters are the top 2%: 98th percentile
and
Diamond are the top 20% minus 2% from Masters: 80th to 97.9th percentile, I would like the game to show me where in the 80% - 97.9% range I fall into.

Sorry, I missed the part where you stated that you have bonus pool remaining. Yes, I agree that it's flawed.

The hidden MMR system is indeed too stop hackers from figuring out the system.
In WoW PvP you also have MMR which they didn't hide last season.

People managed to exploit the system getting insanely high rating they didn't deserve
