Rank 3.0 Arsenal; by hidden MMR
Can't believe they did it, finally they solved the smurfing problems in rank, with this new system there is absolutely no reason to smurf at all! You can'T! It detects your skill level with hiddent M...
Forum Discussion
@Palette24caratsStuff generally looks good on "paper" ... for now its just hopium. I have a hard time believing that stuff, with all the history.
People not complaining since yesterday but years and what did they do ... make it worse and after that even more worse (S12+).
Hidden MMR always will fuel the speculation on Respawn manipulating the numbers to their liking to favor certain players or give disadvantages to others.
It has a reason why we call for transparency, which isnt met until today. Other games have the Skillrating visible to everyone and i dont hear of widespread abuse (which is the general excuse they tell you why they made it hidden ...) over there.
Also " further focus on playing the Battle Royal and playing as a team." -> removing octane would help a lot , 99% of the octanes i got in MM weren't teamplayers. And i get reminded every time the MM decides to give me one
- @r1ggedgame I’m in full agreement regarding transparency.
A ranked system with tight matchmaking would be great for everyone. But like you said, hidden systems will typically always result in people feeling cheated/manipulated.
Every community has bad apples (people who will cheat or exploit), but there are far more good people who just want to see where they are within the system.@Axs5626Sxa5001Yep. There should be 2 skill ratings actually: one for fighting skills: KDR
And one for Br placement: top 3 ratio?
Or Else those hot dropping octanes doing 6 kills and dying top 16 would be matched against low fighting skills players.- @Axs5626Sxa5001 Respawn has said previously that they will not share details of exactly how their MMR system works because then people would exploit it. They seem very sensitive to people exploiting the MM system.
- @HappyHourSumwur Says the new system is exploitable for sure. It’ll take half a season for someone to find it and another couple of seasons before everyone is doing it. Rinse and repeat.
- @r1ggedgame The big difference is they listened to Pros for Rank 2.0 which are 0.01% of the player base. Of course it would end up being a disaster.
With this its like they finally listened to me the average player.
I agree the MMR should be visible. Could be at least a stat at the end of season. This is how you really know if you improved.
