Hi,
so as far as I understand it on Diamond 3 and higher everyone gets the same MMR changes on the team depending only on Win/Loss (and maybe avg MMR of the teams) but no influence from the actual score.
Why is this not the case for the lower ranks also? You are basically punishing people already in Agent Select for picking anything else than a duelist. Why should I go for Cipher if I can just instalock Raze and typically get a lot more kills that way?
Sure, I might lose that way, but I lose less MMR. And if I win, I gain more. Sounds like the right way to go?
Lower Ranks (Plat and lower) are already plagued by too many Duelist picks and not enough people actually working as a team, than just trying to bait and push spawn on a site take (to get max kills), and the MMR changes just reinforce that.
I am generally a support player who rather likes to setup some good duelists and the team for success and get a win that way, than to just bait everyone for kills. I usually fill and entry/die whenever needed.
So this is frustrating. Not having people speak in Plat comes on top of that, but thats a whole different topic.
