Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Dear bHVR, how good is your MMR system at readjusting MMR for players who quit for a while?

So this is really a question for bHVR, not much we can say about it and out personal experiences. Im asking cause I don't usually play Survivor, but it has not been a balanced 65% win/lose ratio.

That's why I want to ask bHVR to maybe give us some internal numbers on this. They have numbers on this.

If a player does not play a particular role for a long time, how long does it take for their MMR position to balance?
or in how many matches.

    Are you sure MMR changes at all, when you are not playing?

    This is not rank system...

    Exactly, this is why I ask because it would be easy to not want to play when you come back and gets to lose for hours.

    I'm not sure if this works on a per role basis, however they have explained how MMR works for players who don't play for a while.

    While your MMR doesn't decay over time, it does become more volatile. Which means when you return from a long hiatus, your first few matches will have a greater impact on your MMR.

    If you lose your first couple games upon returning, it will drop more significantly than losing a game normally, and vice versa.
