Solo Q ranked

Yea definitely agree with lobby games when you got a game like this with a smaller playerbase. Another problem that’s exacerbates the problems with qs is the mmr algorithm they use. Elo would be better, pr would be better, the current rating system is terribly inflationary.

Currently in a team game rating loss/gain is based on only the highest rating on the other team vs your rating so when a game is played between players with rating disparity additional rating is created. Your rating one game mode also affects your rating gain in the other for some reason so when you’re at let’s say 2k rating in sup team you’ll gain an absurd amount in other game modes when you start playing them assuming you win one game; for example this guy with 1599 in treaty after one game.

Rating example

While elo itself is slightly inflationary that is far surpassed by the way they calculate mmr right now which ensures people will continue playing unfair games especially in teams even if the playerbase was bigger.
