Hey guys, just wanted to post and ask if anyone else has noticed any really weird SR gains? Besides the usual one trick mains climbing high I've noticed some just completely bizare cases:
-
Had a soldier main on our team doing his last placement(not totally relevant to this but he was playing pretty bad) His previous season he ended on 3050, with a season high of 3150. So far he was at 3 wins, 6 losses in placements. After we lost the game imagine my surprise to see a masters icon below his name! Placed at 3512 with a record of 3-7 in placements, that's almost 500 points higher than his previous season final and 350 over his high.
- Had a Mercy main in a game just now, was 2700 2 season ago, ended at 3154 last season(also season high) and was now sporting 4060 SR with a record of 15 wins and 13 losses. That's almost 900 points higher with just 15 wins?
How is this even possible? Surely this must go beyond the Blizzard's SR algorithm and there must be some bug which is giving wrong amounts of SR? Anyone else encounter anything like this where the SR just makes no sense at all?
