you also have a warped understanding of SR and climbing. >50% winrate doesn't guarantee climbing, because SR change is not constant and depends in your chance to win in every particular match. The better you play the lower SR reward (because your chance to win is higher). That's exactly why elo hell exists and that's exactly why purchasing a new account allows you to climb instantly. And the last fact is the reason why nobody will change this flawed system.
- blibble 5y agoI understand the system perfectly true: SR change isn't constant, delta SR after a game is based on the difference between your MMR and SR SR is essentially irrelevant, MMR is the only number that matters your SR oscillates around your MMR, essentially at random MMR also has a confidence value, "elo hell" is where you can't win enough to unstick the confidence value if you win more than 50% consistently the confidence value will drop, your MMR will increase, then your SR will follow it a new account has a zero value for the confidence, which is why the MMR (and SR that follows it) is more volatile, at least to begin with
- EugeneOZ 5y ago"then your SR will follow it" is a wrong assumption. SR will only increase if you win. And while MMR increases, you receive fewer and fewer SR points per win.
