[2020] Receiving less MMR after placements

Hello everyone just an update to this situation of players now gaining less MMR points after a match.

After consulting with the Siege game team this is not a glitch.

After your placement matches and gaining your Rank, the game has a good idea of what skill you have and what uncertainty of winning stat you have.

The game does not reset these stats with each update, only your Rank. Rank does not effect MMR at all.

MMR gains and loss is purely based on your skill rating, performance as a team and your uncertainty stat.

With all this taken into consideration, the game is confident the rank you have been placed in is correct, so you will have a low uncertainty stat, meaning the game will reward you less MMR.

Only newer players will gain more MMR or lose more MMR because their uncertainty at winning matches stat is higher, as they have not played enough matches for this to be determined yet.

The best way to gain more MMR at this point is to beat higher skilled players, the game will reward you with more MMR as it did not believe you were statistically going to win the match.

Hello LORDVADER200412,

The reason you may have won more MMR in previous matches was because you played against players who were of a higher skill than you.

The game didn't not think you would win, but you did, so the game will reward you more MMR in this case.

Just as if you had lost against lower skilled players, the game believed you should have won, so the game will take more MMR away from you in this case.

jreid0035,

Just to clarify, this came from the Siege game team, I am just passing the message on, on their behalf.

When it comes to how many Kills you get per game, this doesnt not matter, the points are awarded on wins and losses of the team, not personal performance in that match. You might not get any kills in the game but as long as your team wins you will earn MMR.

In regards to being a certain Rank level, this does not effect MMR gain or loss, this only determines what players you will be matched with.

You have a skill rating and an uncertainty rating and that is what determines how much MMR you will receive, as well as defeating higher skilled players than yourself.

The issue could be you both have only faced players of similar skill recently, not higher skill, so you are gaining the same amount of MMR after each match.
