Performance Based Matchmaking

[thevoicefromwithin]

Just watched 15 mins of Grubby's stream. Mister always cheerful is super sarcastic and only very thinly veiled mocking balancing, matchmaking and other changes, very refreshing for somebody who is at least a part time employee of Blizzard.

nb. Khaldor - whom I appreciate as a shoutcaster and who puts in a lot of effort - should take a look: the empire isn't always right and the customer isn't always stupid.

Khaldor's "anticrusade" in regards to PBM is silly at best.

We've temporarily disabled Ranked Queues in all regions while we investigate reports of inaccurate placements and season resets. Thank you for your patience.

Only sensible move in my opinion, until they get a grip on what the hell has happened.

[DesoPL]

People want season restart because of all this mess. Can you blame them?

[Haligy]

anyone playing HL or making a placements?

I get totally weird games ..first normal good game then they rape us in 9min

second we rape them in 11min next game they rape us in 8min what the hell is this ..im not extra good player but this is not a funny part

PBMM isn't enabled at the moment as far as I know, so that's the regular matchmaker doing its thing to you. :/

This isn't because of Matchmaking, its because of the change to earlygame and to creeps. Its easy to dominate a lane and destroy your opponents now with 2 regen globes per wave and with 2 creep camps able to destroy the towers and fort on their own. And when you have a 1-2 level advantage, you're only gonna lose if you fuck up massively.

well thats was a blizzard plane ? i think its not a good idea of a gameplay

I was wondering why it's sometimes possible to just push like that, now it makes sense.

Is the Perfomance measured in a same way like they ditribute experience according to my performance?

As an example, i just played a game with Lucio and i was the only healer. We won the game and me and my tank died each once and our dps died each 0 times. All in all i felt like i did really good. I was always at objectives, i didnt let die people. I played some speed boosts to catch up on retreating enemy team and knocked them back, i did some kills i did all my quests from talents and so on...i was really happy with my/our game. In the end i got 6700 xp! As comparisonn our tank hat 10k and sylvanas 16k.

I think the idea of the performace base mm is cool, to give an extra motivation to play well (and not for example gg let them win and feed)...

But will my performance be counted in this case as super bad?

Your performance isn't compared to other players in the match. It's compared to the performances of other players of the given hero. So if you did really well compared to other Lucio players, you'll have gained more MMR.
