So 50% win rate, You lose 12 and you gain 12= go nowhere. Your friend will keep ranking up
I'd like to bring up a point about the matchmaking system that I haven't really seen people mentioning. Assuming that system is working well, said friend may rank up more quickly, but if they don't deserve that rank, they should get punished pretty quickly and sent back. Is arena rank able to drop, unlike ranked BR? It should, that's part of how an ELO system works. I keep comparing to Overwatch's ranking system, as it's similar and one I'm used to. In OW, if you get boosted to a rank you don't belong in, you're going to get knocked down hard.
@pandareno1999I don't think 12 points loss will have any hard hitting impact, particularly when you lump silver in Platinum lobbies anyway. Plus you will get Diamond rewards even if you derank from Diamond to Plat.
I get that point of Arena is not to reward any solo dolo behavior so your personal performance doesn't matter. But this philosophy takes a U turn when MMR based AP gain comes into play.
For example, let's say a team with 70(hypothetical number) MMR rating goes against a team of 85 MMR. The extra AP gained should take that into account instead of each individual members MMR, so each member gets the same points. (in my opinion)
- @BaldWraithSimp Good idea. Just to be plain, I'm in no way saying the system is working well. Just trying to help understand how it's supposed to work.
