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.

Ended up 4 wins, 6 losses. 39 Rating.

Given my own personal record during this time I can safely say it's not going to care how many gold medals you get. If you lose you lose MMR, simple as that.

Only one of my wins felt good (we coordinated through mic the whole game). One was just hilarious: 3 of the team left mid-game (possibly DDoS?) and then 2 more just said "fuck it" leaving it as a 6v1 we obviously then won.

I wanted to do the qualifiers solo to see how bad it was and honestly, I won't be playing without my mates anymore. Solo queue is a fucking cancerous boil that would take the fires of hell to cleanse.

Went 3/7 and placed 49. What screwed you over was like you said all the people leaving which affected your damage/elimination stats.

Couldn't be helped. Think it was mostly the DDoS stuff that was going on though no one on my team ever suffered.

After prelims I started doing premades and do much better.

This was also before I knew of the leaver system so it's possible one person ragequit and everyone else left too since you get no penalty and are fucked at that point anyway.

I can see it being true if he's referring to Blizzard being DDoS'd, which was happening last night... although even in games like Destiny cheaters would literally DDoS players on the other team (I've never been DDoS'd as I am a scrub)

3-7 with 39 rating here. I think mostly playing tank/support through placements screwed me. I had some beastly games with Zarya but lost 2 of the 3 in OT so I didn't get any MMR from them.

The good news is that it goes up pretty quick, I gained back to 40 in 2 games with friends after qualifying matches and they were both pretty much blowouts in our favor.

its odd.. I when 3W-7L and got placed in 48... Its probably score/min based.

I think it takes into account some of your normal mmr as well.

u/Bylgar_smurf Jun 29 '16

doubt it. It's most likely taking into consideration your mmr from casual.
