The reason why literally very few good players are top 10 is that the MM system is absolutely garbage.
The individual games determine the ranks, not the whole match.
You can quit between games and not lose elo
You get matched with the same person 10 times in a row
Because of your elo algorith it's mostly about who plays the most.
Who want's to play that?
This is your top 10 players, almost a direct correlation with games played and elo, so if you aren't absolutely shit you can just farm games and be #1.
Well done with your "skillbased" system. Is our top player SO MUCH better than the rest to be ahead by 20 elo, or has he just farmed more?
So in order to be #1 at the end of three months you have to have played a thousand games, and then you wonder why people don't want to tryhard with matchmaking.
Oh well, I guess I'm going to stop posting about problems since my style is too whiny.
Have fun with your matchmaking, not playing that shit anymore, since it's beyond criticism.
