General DiscussionJust saw a friend who had 1 MMR. What happens if he loses a ranked ga...

his mmr wont change. 1 is minimum.

He can't go to 0? Damn, that's good for him atleast

I would like yo meet your friend haha

Apparently he legitimately has a mental disorder :S

I did ask him to switch on dotabuff tho I want to see his stats :/

if he lose a game, he create mmr to the total pool of mmr available

imagine a 5 stack of 1 mmr players purposely losing games to inflate global MMR kappa

His brother told him if he bought 100 tangoes it becomes a rapier, and he tried it in game xD

wowwwww

imagine if he gets 9999 instead :D

matrice is right
create an army of 1 mmr accounts
lose game after game inflating the mmr pool worldwide
break the MMR system
valve is forced to make a better system GG

it wont break the mmr system, it will just inflate it.
its pretty similar to a country's economy: you cant "break" the economy by increasing money supply (as long as you do it slowly; otherwise the adjustment mechanisms will be overloaded, but that's not the case if we are discussing parallels with stacking as 5 1mm players and losing).

Yeah, but sometimes these 1mmr stacks will play against each other.

Isn't a bunch of MMR lost forever every time someone abandons a game in ranked and his team wins, anyway?

^yeah, good point as well. these two factors should more or less compensate each other. I would even say that in sum the average mmr decreases.

+smurfs. i mean mmr is just a grind fest. its not sum zero.

mmr system is already heavily infilated by smurfs

well every time someone smerfs and calibrates too high and then looses a bunch then they inflate MMR, but every time a person calibrates normally gets a low MMR then wins until they get the to a stable rank, they deflate MMR.

the only way it doesn't get inflated/deflated is if everyone calibrates at exactly their "true" mmr and either no one improves or every one improves at the same rate.

It's trickle up mmr!

I will be completly honest. i thought 500 was the absolute lowest you could go. I assume anyone under 800 is actually trying to lose
though.

Oh Scheiße!
