Bell Curve for MMR in General Discussion
Mos Likely

    So I played a party ranked game with friends last night and it was high skill only. Upon completion, i got promoted to divine 2

    Note: Solo has been 5k flat (no games for like 3 weeks now)
    Party has been 4.5k for a long time

    Is this some bell curve shit and now divine 0 possibly achieved at 4.6k mmr?

      the system is weird

      this week i lost 2 games then won 2 games but got a new medal, which makes
      no sense

      Story Time

        the new medals coming soon, so Valve tries to promote everyone higher to cheer pplayers up before dropping ranks on everyone, enjoy rank-inflation

          Its actually quite easy to understand. Mmr is deflating due to max medal Divine 5. Good players are pushing others down the ranks and mmr required for a certain medal change in a matter of time.

          Now we can notice skill differences every 100-200 mmr while it used to be at least 500 mmr leap in the past where you could spot any difference in overall game quality.

            They lowered required ranks for medals. But they cant just give you a new medal right away. So instead they give you one after you win a game, even if it was a party game.
