Its not so much that they are playing people with a higher MMR then them its that they have a high MMR.

If i recall correctly if 2 people have an MMR of 1500 and a point value of 0 then they will both appear favoured against one another.

Correct me if im wrong but i think thats how it works

I lost a game the other day and lost 0 points :p, usually I only lose 1, so right now W/L ratio really isn't important.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Surely they are just playing favored oppenents probably promoted thus playing favored and slightly favored opponents im only saying this beacvsu i dont know how the MMR system works but if you were in masters season 2 and retained it in season 3 then you will not be playing said players unlike someone that was plat season 2 and now masters who would play said opponents

Tell me if im wrong though :D

at the beginning of the season for higher mmr players it's just wins*24 +/- 24

You can go w/l/w/l/w/l and you'll have 48 points because the first win doesn't count for points, only the placement. On the other hand, if you go l/w/l/wl/w, you will have 72 points but you'll still be 3-3. I'm not sure how long it will be till you start losing points for losses with high mmr. I'm guessing around 300-400 points you'll start losing 1-2 instead of 0, maybe more points than 300-400 though.

edit: less bonus pool ofc

My Taiwanese account was COMPLETELY reset with the merge. I played against Gold leaguers in my placements and 5-0'd into Diamond league. What happened to my GrandMaster MMR? I mean, sure Gold League in Korea is like Diamond/low Master NA, but... =_=

It's answered here and by the comments above me.
Players from season 2 who has high MMR will lose less points when they lose and gain more points when they win compared to someone with lower MMR.

So basically you will see this from players at the top of masters / grand masters who can go 10-20 and still end up at 300 points (just exaggerating but making a point here).

And this also works the other way which in your case you have already experienced. Like you have 25-15 but only end up at 150 points.

The MMR makes the big difference


The top masters/grand masters will lose only few points for a loss untill their points reaches closer to their mmr.
For newly promoted Masters they will most likely already be at their MMR so they will already be getting even matches or at the least faster than say season 2 high masters / gm's.

The system is just rewarding high masters / grand masters because of their high MMR in comparison to the low league players in the previous season I like it tbh as those players put in a lot of effort to get up there at masters/grand masters. Would totally be unfair if everything would reset.

It's only messed up for the players who merged with the servers like the ru / tw / la players cuz they got everything reset (like Wolf has stated).
