If im on a silver account I should be in silver lobbies, if my MMR reflects plat then I should be on a plat account, these two systems cant work in conjuction.
#Whats the point of LP if match making is decided by MMR

They work perfectly

Sounds like you got gapped in smurfq and are pissed cuz you didn't get ingame with silver kids to stomp them for free
"It seems very counter intuitive to me and leads to a very unfun time in ranked."
surely its very fun for actual silver players trying to improve to have a plat smurf lowlife ruining their games 😍 😍
You're a big hypocrite
viscid surge
So to be clear, Overwatch for one does work more like league as far as I'm aware.
This is also not a problem if you aren't smurfing lmao

If you have the skills of a plat player, then you're going to be matched against plat players since the matchmaking system thinks you're too good for silver

Ok so not 1 person as answered my question in typical Legue player low iq fashion
night pike
If you have the skills of a plat player, then you're going to be matched against...
But that makes no sense, why am I in plat lobbies if I'm not plat ranked
Because then actual silver players get lumped into the game
Happens every time

I'll answer your question in the most straight forward way possible
What is the point of lp? There is none. The mmr is all that matters
In terms of match balancing, rank doesnt mean anything
Mmr is the only true way of measuring skill
LP? LP is all status
LP is your way of showing where on the rank ladder you have taken yourself to, not where on the ladder "you belong"
Mmr = skill
LP = status
