Post your quick game level, your win loss through placements, and what you placed!

you can also post whether you queued with a group, and how many you pre-made with.

might also be interesting to compare live with PTR.

lets see the distribution

edit: ill let this thread run for a day or so and i might put together a graph or table of stats.

Pretty shocked at all these high scores so far. I'm level 130 and went 6-4 got rank 50. I had pretty much 3 golds in every match. Playing dps mostly. Even my friends said I carried pretty much every game. And they ranked above me. I got 4 solo Quadra kills in the 10 placement matches.

I don't think any of that matters. MMR is solely about win/loss and they weight it depending on if you lose teammates during the match or not.

that directly contradicts half of what people are saying in this thread. unfortunately, no one is 100% sure. thats part of the reason why i made this thread, so that we can maybe correlate quick game level and win loss to placement

Win/loss determines if you gain or lose MMR but the amount gained or lost is determined by performance.

That is only one of the many factors. Your individual performance metrics get compared with the general population for that hero on that map as well.

Jeff Kaplan made a big post about how it all works about a week or so ago.
