  • Uhm...wow. I was watching a guy try to catch me, but he kept getting knocked back down. Now he's out of the top 10, meaning he's dropped over 100.
  • I didn't know that was possible since I always believed their was a cap to it, especially at only 500. I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional on the devs part since it never use to be this bad.
  • So uh is this worth filing a ticket over or is this jus mmr lulz
  • I wouldn't doubt it if it was a glitch or bug, but how many points did the person have who attacked you?

    I mean i got attacked by 8 guys at once after one match. And i only have 500 pts so **** why am i getting attacked so much
  • Bainee not cool man. Btw why do i lose 30 pts per loss when a 300 point person attacks me, i have less than 300pts now..

    Oh, I thought you meant you lost 166 points from one person only rather than 8 people. Whats your team? We're down to the last hour, so that's when everyone gets attacked.

    That's what I thought he meant too.

    If anyone sees Dugn, is his team displaying correctly (or close)?
  • With a team full of 2 AP requirement powers accompanied with boosts, anyone is beatable. My guess is that you are just in a hard bracket.
  • It's Hood-style scoring. So, you could potentially get hit by 5 ppl and lose 150 + points.
  • This upper matchmaking needs to be addressed because ppl will quit over this. Whats the point maxing out a team when ur placed in a hard bracket with similar teams while a lvl 50 doom hood gets easy punisher covers.
  • Scoring is befouled. It's as Toxicadm says.

    I'm going to be sending a ticket in once this is done.

    I just wish I was able to find non-forumers worth more than 12 between being hit for 30 each

    ELO point system assumes both players have an equal chance to win. This is flat out not true in MPQ. Let's say you're playing a guy that has a 33% chance of beating you in a 'fair' game. In MPQ, the player has an overwhelming advantage over the defender, so let's say that you have +50% chance to win due to going first (and boosts and being able to select who to target). Then that guy suddenly has 83% chance to beat you. Now, you have 100% chance of beating that guy when retaliating, but if points are done in true ELO style then you'll lose in the long run. By the ELO system the 33% chance to win player gets 33 points for beating you and you get 16 points for beating him (since you win twice as often as he does). So, his expected payoff is 0.83 * 33 = +27 points, while your payoff is 1*16 = +16 points, so he gains 11 points on you each time you play each other. Further it's not just that guy. It's every guy that's about ~150 points lower than you have this kind of favorable odds so your rating will quickly plummet.

    To combat this, there used to be points created out of thin air in each match, which softens the blow to the highly rated person, because he's not actually getting the fair odds as his rating would indicate due to the overwhelming advantage of the attacker.
  • Another -70. Im at 230 now.

    I have this wacky suspicion something is up with your defense team. I noticed quite a few level 15 hulks running around out there...

    Yup, definitely wouldn't doubt that. If the game somehow added in low level 3* characters on your defense team, then that's probably why you are getting attacked so much.
  • If anyone has Dugn as a possible opponent, please see what his team is.
