New MMR = utter failure

Has anyone noticed when someone goes idle or disconnects and doesn't return that the red text now says "Stats WILL be recorded"?

Yes, what seems to be the problem?

If you can win 5v1 matches consistently, I'd be delighted to see the replays.

I think it depends how far into the game it is when they disconnect, at least that's how it used to be.

No, it used to be that after someone was either DC'd or didn't gain experience for five minutes, the match was essentially binned.

Unless that was just for the "safe to leave" rather than stats recorded, but I thought that "safe to leave" meant that the stats weren't recorded.

If they've changed that then it's a really bad change.

If the first blood has been spilled when all 10 players are connected, stats will count.

are we talking about normal matchmaking or ranked?

i havent noticed the change yet, but if it applies to ranked, i dont see the problem

It is in ranked. My issue with it is the almost guaranteed loss from it. I have won a game or three with a four man team but I have lost 90% of them. I have yet to win a match in RM with a four man team though; netting a nice loss in my rating.

Well at least some people here realize that it's a problem

TLDR: The world isn't against you, you're ranked where you should be.

But its not a problem, the ranked mmr system will determine how close a game is based on the gold graph. If someone leaves early to middle game, then the drop in gold is accounted for when adjusting your mmr. You're also viewing this system with a god complex, "Oh, its not fair I always get people leaving and feeders...", well everyone else has to equally deal with those leavers and feeders. Your ranking is based heavily on your hidden normal mmr. You get matched with people of equal skill its not a system error its an error in the reliability of outside variables that you can't just throw into an algorithm.
