There seems to be an underlying assumption here that your opponents points have converged to his MMR. Otherwise I can't see it working. Example: Your points: 500: Your MMR 500. Your opponents points: 100. Your opponents MMR: 500. The match is even but if your opponent loses he will lose 0 points. Your formula would give your MMR = 500 + 368 = 868 which is wrong.

You also say that "as expected, MMR changes more rapidly than adjusted points". This raises a small warning flag for me, because I came to the opposite conclusion here:

Not the case. It would give your MMR = between 100+368 and 100+infinity, which is accurate. The nice thing about it is that your opponent's points don't have to match his MMR or anything. For all you care, you could be playing against an opponent who is playing his first Starcraft 2 match ever. Your opponent is only used as a proxy for measuring your MMR against his adjusted points which are well known.

I agree I was careless with that statement. Your graph makes a valid point that this is not necessarily the case. Though I gotta wonder if Blizzard did not implement the entire points system to obfuscate a wildly fluctuating MMR, I have no idea what was their motivation for doing so.

This is probably worth half an Fyp report.

Also it looks similar to the regression courses I took in math!

Keep up the good work!

Mother of God. Nice post. Didn't read everything but now I know how high (read low) my MMR is.
I had a good night of sleep.

Potentially we could learn what the MMR cap is if this holds up. Is it 3000 like previously thought? Finding out the division offsets is a little more difficult because they muddy things up a lot. With enough data points, though, it's possible. I started that 12/12 project (a large spreadsheet with the primary goal of identifying league and division offsets for pairs of players who win +12 and -12 [or +13/-11, +14/-10, etc.]) last year which did help narrow down the slope, but there were also a lot of outliers as a result of division offsets for leagues below Master. For example, if you have a +12/-11 game (meaning the point gain difference was 1 point) and the point difference before that game was 32, that could either mean that the two players are in the same division tier or are within 1 tier of each other.


I'm unfamiliar with the number 3000, not sure where it's from.

I think you're going to have a hard time using the 12/12 method to find league modifiers nowadays ever since Blizzard changed the matchmaking parameters. I suggest an alternative solution which I mentioned a few posts above:

Find out a Master player's MMR before a match using what I describe in the OP. If you can infer by analyzing enough games / estimate his post match MMR, and in the subsequent match he is facing a Diamond player, then you can use the same F formula to extract the Diamond player's adjusted points taking the Master's MMR as a given. This should tell you the Diamond league tier right away, with accuracy which depend only on how accurate your initial estimation of the Master player MMR was. Seeing as how the difference between Diamond tiers is 63 points, you will be hard pressed to be off by more than a single tier. If you are able to do this between Master and Diamond, then you can work your way backwards from Master league, going one league at a time and populating leagues and divisions with their modifiers compared to the last known point from above.

It's a lot of work, and depends on your ability to approximate a player's MMR post match from his MMR pre match, but on the bright side you're no longer dependant on 12/12 at all. You could use any match whatsoever (well, not 24/0...)

Yes, you are right. I was reading carelessly.

Nice research, and would like to see this incorporated with sc2 gears like someone before me mentioned, that'd be pretty sick.

Am I doing this correct?

Beat a GM dude who had 350 pts and 9 bonus pool, he lost 11 points, found a dude in my division with 0 wins, had 196 bonus pool, so:
350+430+9-196+11 = 604

-11+24 = 13
13 corresponds to 16/48

So my MMR would be between 620 and 652*?
I promise I'll behave.

Edit.: ah right the 430 is the master's offset, sounds about right then.

Would be really cool if sc2ranks incorporated this as one of their player statistics.

I appreciate your work but checked the mmr for my friend from 2 matches and the results were different (500 and 550) so its not very accurate.

I don't get it, you say that the blue column on the right of that table is the opponent's adjusted points minus your mmr, right?
so blue = oppAdj - mmr

this would mean that mmr = oppAdj - blue


Then you say to get the mmr you add the opponents adjusted points to those values (blue).

this would mean that mmr = oppAdj + blue which is not the same as above.

What am I missing?

Once you have manged to calculate your MMR, how do you know what league that corrseponds to?

All the Diamond tiers are in comparison to Master MMR, but within what interval is the master league MMR?
Grandmaster: One Tier
Master: One Tier
Diamond: 7 Tiers
- Tier 1: +150 from Master
- Tier 2: +213 from Master
- Tier 3: +276 from Master
- Tier 4: +339 from Master
- Tier 5: +402 from Master
- Tier 6: +465 from Master
- Tier 7: +528 from Master
Platinum: 3 Tiers, unknown offset
Gold: 2 Tiers, unknown offset
Silver: 3 Tiers, unknown offset per tier
Bronze: 7 Tiers, unknown point offset per tier

I have no clue how to use this, this is beyond complicated even when you explained it short in the end
Hope you release a tool soon.
