Since implementation of the new league scoring I have been taking a hammering and I don't know why.
I am down about 175 league points and my win % has dropped to the lowest I have experienced in 8 months of playing the game - 38%.
I'm diamond 3 (was 2 but got relegated) and I rarely squad so the spread of teammates and opposition varies a lot, but everyone experiences that.
I play a mixed hangar of brawlers and mid-rangers and I am almost always top three (most commonly second) in my team for both beacons and damage and yet, game after game, my team is getting crushed; I take an average of 2 to 3 beacons a game, occasionally more, so I am contributing there. My damage average is actually continuing to rise - now just over 500k - which I think is respectable. So what is going wrong?
I don't expect an answer but they say misery loves company, so I thought I'd share and maybe hear back that others are having the same experience...

Sounds like you are on the downward spiral of the MM. I've only been playing for two months or so however from my experience if my win rate gets to 66-70% it's like I hit a wall and lose matches for the most part until I get down to 40-44%. Once that happens I start to win again with the occasional loss until I hit 66-70% win rate again.
Have faith...I'm sure you're about to go on a win steak soon.
It might also help to know if you are going against squads that are 3+ strong on a regular basis, this can influence win/loss rate a lot.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comforting words - hope you're right; I too have experienced the cyclical nature of the MM, but this is the longest, most sustained downturn I've experienced in the game. Yes, coming up against squads fairly regularly and I have wondered if this is having an effect as I saw that Pix want people to squad, so maybe those that don't are being matched against tougher opposition? Would be interesting to hear if any others have noticed anything on that front. |

I wonder how long the player base will continue to play with the current mm and the rubber band effect it creates. |

I wouldn't say it's necessarily tougher opposition however at times that is most certainly the case.
What I find is that people who squad have a game plan. (And probably comms.) This helps them significantly overwhelm solo players and they have a decided advantage from the start.
Judging by the new MM it might be a good idea to find some peeps to squad with on a regular basis. (Something I need to find.)

Same for me... even when I bind 3 enemy players my team isn't able to get at least a third beacon =( |

Yep, disheartening at times. About 4 months playing and my 68% has bombed to 52%. Some days you just win a rubber cigar ......

Okay, further to my post, started a match on Yamantau @ 9:25 am EST. Blues start down 2 and stayed that way. Teams were horribly mismatched to boot. Match was over in 3 minutes. Been going on all morning. Not cool PIX, not cool whatever it is you think you're doing.
BTW, WTH is up with this YAM thing ? Probably played 8 or 9 matches and I believe 6 have been Yamantau.

MM is an evil arbitrary 「female dog」. Just had this match:  Let me list for you the leagues of the players, in descending order of damage: Blue - champion, master 3, expert 1, master 1, gold 2 (me), diamond 2 Red - champion, master 3, master 2, champion, diamond 3, expert 1 You flatter me. 「multiple bum-bums」. |

That is something I would like to understand the mechanics of as well. Why do I get dumped on certain maps OVER and OVER. It seems like I cycle through Yam 8+ times then one or two on either DC or PP before going through another 8 map run on Sen, then again through DC and PP one or two times before another run of 8 times through Canyon. It's just weird. As long as I am getting 100K + Ag per match and I get my daily gold I don't care much about my win %. |

I'm pleased to report the super-smackdown seems to have ended. I am up to the heady heights of a mid-40s win rate and have recovered about half of the league points I'd lost. The wins came to a shuddering halt a moment ago with two consecutive losses, but I can live with that if it evens out now.

My experience with the new MM:
go solo means loose 3 out 5 games coz of stupid players doing nothing in the game
go in clan squad means loos 1 out of 4... coz then you have less dump players in the game.

Pixonic has a bizarre concept of leagues. What they seem to be doing is arranging us by "adjusted skill." A theoretical example: So if Bruce is a better player than Joe, then Joe can just get higher levels until he can compete with Bruce. So you wind up with matches where Bruce is hopelessly outgunned because he is a better player(at least according to whatever algorithm Pixonic is using) than the rest of the players. The longer Bruce manages to get wins in spite of being outgunned, the more powerful the competition will become. The result of this would seem to be that the more skilled players will constantly play against players with higher level equipment, until they start losing, at which point the MM begins to correct until he is playing against players with similar equipment. As a skilled player, Bruce will handily beat those with similar setups and begin winning again. ...and so on... Meanwhile the average player is probably experiencing a fairly balanced MM experience, while the poor player is likely experiencing a similar experience to the good player, except in the opposite, and likely earning more gold, since he is likely to be among the highest damage players due to his higher level hanger. Just a theoretical model, but it seems to explain the varied experiences I'm seeing reported.
