I mean to straight up display to every player their exact, one, and only MMR stat. And that “divisions” are completely set in stone. Everyone with 500-800 MMR is this division. Everyone with 1000-1200 MMR is that division. Etc.

Then when you see Iron players match made with golds and silvers you’ll know that “actually their MMR is similar”.

This whole division between “hidden” MMR/ELO and your “shown” rank is just ridiculous.

Flatten and simplify this entire apparatus.

    Chess is a 1v1 game, league 5v5. But in soloQ we have no premade team and so the other 4 are randoms and these do have an effect on the outcome of the game.

    That means there are possible luck/bad luck streaks that have an impact on your MMR without your impact.

    To reduce these LP was added with a rubber banding effect. It allows for larger MMR movements without making RNG too much of an impact.
