Introducing: MMR BANS, OPERATION CHANGE YOUR PLAYSTYLE TO HELP IMPROVE MATCH QUALITY

[Dwopple]

In an effort to revitalize MMR and improve overall match quality, the following players will be banned from participating in MMR due to regular poor-performance and complaints. Players on the ban list will temporarily be banned until Jan 1 2025, and will be re-evaluated amongst staff along with current population and recent match-quality.

THE BAN LIST:

1. Avantgarde (added Nov 21, 2024)
2. defaultdolphin_2 (added Nov 21, 2024)
3. y0gi (added Nov 21, 2024)
4. thesauce (added Nov 25, 2024)
5. pawner (added Dec 1, 2024)

Full transparency, we're all responsible for taking the games we queue for seriously and there are a small handful of players who refuse to change and listen to the community for how to improve. In the same regard, there are also shining examples of players who have improved.

The point is, it's time to start making more of an effort for repeat offenders to change their playstyle and improve their gamesmanship.

PLAYERS, WE NEED YOU: If the population of MMR comes back, then the new bot is designed to better-handle team generation when lower rated players are queued (think !mtt, but better).

Keeping this thread locked as it's not an ongoing discussion.
