So back in S13 when MMR was gonna be the new system used to determine a player's skill level, I remember in the post Archybot made that it mentioned with the new system, drops are less likely to happen. For instance, if you were (in elo terms) 2400 and died to a 2100, you'd lose some points because the system thinks that it was a flaw that you lost, the 2nd time you lose you'll lose more and more. By default, you could lose up to a max of 28 ELO i believe (don't quote me on that) and now what i've noticed is that by fighting people lesser than you, you would gain only about 15-80 points. As soon as someone who's not placed or is say, Gold IV against a Gold I, you would lose A TON of points. I've lost around 213 each time someone way lower than me drops me. I thought one of the points of the new rating system was to prevent massive drops?Posted on 01 September 2016 - 01:30 AM

It depends on a bunch of factors in the system as well.https://gyazo.com/7da57f091ae66fb4aea549a38b222a3e
I fail to see how winning 100 points and losing 200 points is a bad deal?
Let's see….in ELO you used to lose 32 points and win 1 for a max range fight.
So why are there complaints?

Take this match for example:

I was Gold II, he was Silver I. That's 4 ranks apart, and I only gained 49 points. However, if I were to lose to someone who is 4 ranks apart, I would lose 213 rating as you can see from this match.

While I do agree with you it's better than what ELO was, drops are still possible, and I just assumed that this rating system was supposed to fix that whereas you would get a "second chance" type of thing - seeing as how the system would think your first loss against someone lower than you was a fluke.

Nope, the second chances mostly went out the window with the new point system because everyone wanted a system like ELO and shit. Still, it's better then ELO was (49 vs 213) and then ELO's equivalent would be +5 -27Posted on 01 September 2016 - 04:16 PM
Alright thanks for clearing that up.Would a staff member please lock this.
