PVP carry over: points with MMR

This is supplement to old 'Make MMR desirable' threads really.

The MMR appears carried over from start with more observed effect lately. If you grinded hard and faced all-141 teams at end of a tournament then you'll start next tournament that way. I won't debate the MMR here, we have all the fix MMR and punishment-related threads for that, just take it for granted.

So I suggest a related carryover that balances some of the pain: along with the MMR some of the points should carry over too then. Say instead of starting at zero, I entered the tournament right with 500 pts after my 900 finish?

When matches looked reasonable it looked like low teams to 500, full-85 to 700 and 141s over that. So the grind part could be just skipped mostly. It looks like better alternative to tanking unless one just wants to harvest ISO. And advanced version could make it optional through a simple question or just use the 3 entry pins: one puts you in at max allowed free points, other at half of them and last at 0 as now.

I see some possible abuse with really late entry but it can be easily contained by restricting this feature to only first 50-75% of tournament time or use the remaining time as multiplier to the max points.

    I like this idea a lot! Why make a guy with a 1000+ average start with 0? Makes perfect sense to base it on MMR

    D3 should even like this, they'd be giving out less ISO than usual.

    Well, you do get a nice amount of ISO-8 for fighting all the way up from zero, some players might miss that.
