Khalisto.5780 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It's well known how you can inflate your mmr by duo qing and abusing matchmaking. I still dont think you can push it much more than 150 higher than your average solo mmr I had this guy in my guild that couldnt reach plat solo, but he would sit at 1640 when duo q only, play off hour and dodging better duos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAvenged.5217 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I don’t really care about the numbers, but keep in mind this is a dude that streams “top 250 gaming” in his title anyways that’s about all I’ll say. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per player? If i ever get an offer to throw a game it be worth a legendary for me 2.5kgold at least is my price. Other wise whats the point, make the loss worth it or dont bother asking.

As far as I’m aware the person also sent naru and helio at least 1k gold each and I have screens on when they got it on stream. the dude never got a top title but was willing to dish out more gold the most pvpers liquid gold value x10. He also never got banned... and yes wintrading is a real thing and yes people get top titles off it almost every season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become ridiculously publicly discussed & accepted at this point. Even normal average players are sending out /g messages saying things like, and I quote: "Hey we need a squad to queue ranked". People are doing it now just to get their top 100 titles or top 25 w/e it is they want to aim at. This community is pretty old and pretty small, like a high school. Everyone knows each other. Everyone knows the real skill values of each other, and as such it is quite visible on the leaderboards who is match manipulating to get their rating, and who is playing for real who still values representing legitimate play. But don't condone these assward measures to cheat. I mean I get why people do it, so many are doing it so why not? I get it. But don't condone it, don't protect it, don't act like it isn't happening because the truth is that it is wildly out of control and many people are using match manipulation techniques nowadays. Tbh they just need to scrap the ranked mode. It is unfortunately ruined for so many reasons. ATs are a much better, no-nonsense, organic way of sorting who the best players actually are. Keep unranked for fun play, keep ATs for competitive play, but get rid of ranked. They need to readjust the entirety of sPvP. Conquest needs to go, I know its the old and tried and true game mode but its caused too many issues with how its skewed the meta in the game which has caused the numerous balance problems we continue to see in the game. Not to mention the way they handle it in Ranked (Solo/Duo Queue only) has only helped lead to the current environment of wintrading, match manipulation and selling. The same with ATs. They are too time gated which makes the pool of players that participate in them too small and it almost always ends up with the same like...15 to 20 players participating every month for the mAT which is why this stuff is happening. They need to strip away the current system, do away with Conquest as a Ranked/AT mode and adopt TDM as the primary Ranked game mode with solo queue only. I don't care about the "its too simple" or "TDM is too boring", at this point those points are irrelevant and clearly the current situation isn't the appropriate one if you want an actual "healthy" PvP environment with both the balance of the game and the community in PvP. Focusing the balance in sPvP around purely just the fighting, which is what TDM is, could potentially lead to a more healthy state among the classes. Clearly the competitive PvP in this game wasn't meant to be centered almost entirely around a capture point game mode that people very obviously exploit in more than just a few ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To people who think it's legit I've got some premium stocks for sale. I've suspected it for a while whenever i jump in and play PvP. It's sick and it shouldn't be happening. I'm not an avid PvP player, but the math there is just wrong if they got insane wins and a few losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
