Alright my dudes so I accidentally got consolation & expected wrong, both scores are reduced. So if you get consolation you'll lose less SR or rank score, & you'll gain less score if you get expected.

Yea I've gotten a few 15%-17% due to the matches being expected so it's my fault that it's taking me forever to get out of diamond again. I was also trying to say that this is just the same state the game launched comp out in the release of Overwatch 2. A lot of people were not ranked in the right places & I got put into diamond at launch so now I have to climb out once more.

Yea especially when the soft reset happened. I still get into matches like that but it's our fault for not playing better according to the system n some of the other content creators. They need to have your stats taken into account whether you win or lose meaning you won't get the same SR as everyone else but I think that would be more fair then what we have now.

I'm really not sure what the argument here is like yes the system hasn't changed for the game I don't think they ever said they were changing how the game places you into matches they just said they were gonna add features to make it clearer what the matchmaker was actually doing. Also I feel like your complaining about a matchmaker that puts better or worse players in a lobby quite a lot but this will never get better almost every game has a system where they create lobbies with unfavored matchups. I'm not sure if you actually fully grasp how the matchmaker works or how matchmakers work in general, it will never just be automatically fair your never gonna get your exact copy on the other team. That is the whole concept behind elo in the first place and because you got the same rank means the matchmaker did it's job.
@KPR566 ай бұрын
Yea I get what you're talking about but why should the person be punished for the system putting those kinds of lobbies & we dont know if it means between 1 tier or a whole rank difference, they still arent clear with the team placements. You will also be punished for over performing in your lobby since the game believed you were gonna win either ways.

@@KPR56 Yeah that's the flaws and benefits to an ELO system you'll always get punished for losing a game that you were supposed to win and non rewarded for a game you were supposed to win. It was invented originally to prevent higher rated players in chess from dunking on super low rated players and gaining tons of ELO. I do however think getting a visual indicator of the skill level for lobby is a good change I know you didn't mention that in the video but it should be noted. I remember back in Overwatch 1 we got everyone's rank which was better because you could target certain players but I see why they chose this method to avoid that targeting. The system also has only been out for a little over a week and can be adjusted pretty easily to be better I think they have at least laid out a ground work to a good system because it does feel a bit similar to Valorant which a game I like playing ranked in.
@KPR566 ай бұрын
You do get a visual indicator of the lobby which can vary between 1 division & whole ranks but being a difference between 2-3 divisions should not have expected as a modifier. Those difference are so low that it's merely based on which team is more coordinated.

To be fair, a lot of this has already been in play already. For the case of favored teams, if it’s setup right, it’s making favored matches because it’s testing how well it can predict the outcome based on sr, likely with people it thinks should be tweaked a little. This is to make sure it’s placing people correctly or so situations like plat/gold in the same game and an uneven sr average don’t have as much of an impact. In the case of prediction, if it’s correct, everyone gets tweaked, otherwise something’s wrong with the set.

What do you mean there shouldn't be a system that favours one side to win. Every competitive game does that. Chess started it with its original elo system. And if you think the match maker should not have put you in a game where it thought one person has the advantage, well no game does that either because it's so hard to find 5 pairs of players with the exact same skill level fast. In ow it also needs to make sure they are the same role. There will always be some small difference where the game will think, oh this side had a better DPS, but the other side had way better support players so the second team has the advantage. I agree about the modifiers. I've only gotten an uphill battle even though I went on a 6 game win streak. Someone on Reddit said they got a win streak bonus but as their streak continued they lost it.
@KPR566 ай бұрын
Yes I know it's impossible to do that but it is possible to have people go against each other near the same rank, the problem comes in with the modifier called expected. You are punished for doing better than the enemy team since the game knew you were gonna win that. We also dont know how many tiers or ranks you have to be apart in order for that modifier to work against you.
