Is MMR broken or there are so many noobs trying MMR?

[Scrappy]

Getting more noobs in my team rather than normal play

[Volcapolk]

what score do you have?

[Deepbluediver]

I had a much longer post about this a few weeks ago, but basically one players relative skil can vary widely depending on who they are playing and if their team is winning or not. Even a noob can look good if his team is doing well, and if you are doing poorly then one small mistake frequently snowballs into much bigger and more noticeable problems.

Assuming all the true noobs are kept out of the ranked-MM, then the quality of players is higher and even the previous "good' people are struggling more.

it was a lie but i lost many of mmr games i've played

I have 3k mmr and only get noobs, it is not fair.

Seriously, if I get consistently good scores in games shouldn't my MMR go up? Should be a slight increase of MMR for the 'man of the match' on the losing team. Or maybe not lose as much MMR, it's annoying.

A friend of mine with good skills is 4k MMR. I can quite often play to this standard, so wtf

[Zve]

its more like
6000+ = pro
5500+ = verry good
5000+ = good
4000+ = decent
4000- = i dont want to insult any1
All u think that iff u have 3000 rating u are pro players

This is helpful, provided people actual look at it and believe it.

Everyone thinks that they have a high-number pointscore, but they don't know the conversion rate to their actual skill.

Personally, rather than numbers, I think the game should assign everyone a word-title, and they should all tell you that you are terrible. Then we can have people argue over if their "Awful, just awful" ranking means they deserve to be paired with people ranked as "Noobtastic" and "Total suckage". Even the pro-players should get ratings like "Could have failed harder".

I want to find out what the backlash would be like when all these "never my fault" forumites get the bad news all at once.

Such troll :D
From both Valve's blog and Cyborgmatt:

3200+ 10% top players
3900+ 5% top players
4100+ 1% top players

With 3600 MMR it's only been roughly a quarter of total games that were stomps, a quarter comebacks due to lategame picks, and half games were mostly level.
