Mojo_Riesing, on May 29 2021 - 23:53, said: I just don't buy this "everyone will be pushed to 50%
nonsense. Over time, and probably not much time, some players
will outscore, others not so much and eventually a new equilibrium
will be established with some players yes, "doing better" by the
numbers and others less. That's how distribution works.I think the real problem are the higher skilled players who, now having to face peer level opponents ROUTINELY for the first time. Expect roughly half of them to "do less well" with reduced "numbers" in that skill matched group. The other half will probably still have higher "numbers" all distributed around a new 50%. They all will remain skilled but against balanced competition yes, there will be fallout for some. It's like why seal clubbers go to the low tiers to club, that's where the least skilled, most easily dominated players can be found.
If you look, most of the "doom and gloom" predictions come from the more skilled community.
DeviouslyCursed: This will only happen if whoever implements a SBMM is stupid
and doesn't use wins and losses to determine elo (rating). Using
wins and losses, EVERYTHING a person does to contribute to a win is
factored in. Any other rating and you will have outliers who are
good at the rated things but don't help win (overrated, will win
less than 50%), or people who do the thing that help wins but are
not factored in to the calculations(underrated, will win more than
50%). Skill has nothing to do with whether you can get away from
50% win rate in a SBMM. It has more to do with having a system that
can be played, and playing the system, whether intentionally or
unintentionally. NOT using a rating other than a recent elo based
entirely on wins and losses is the first step in screwing up your
SBMM (and therefore, screwing up your game in the
process). Using wins and losses, the more you win, the higher
your rating, and the more the enemy team is stacked. This will
happen until you get to 50% win rate. Every time.
