I'm personally not sure if it's worth it to queue up when there's no servers in my MMR range.
It feels like gently shredding a piece of cheese and it's entire family with a chainsaw.

Has anyone ever suggested an effective handicap system to facilitate high MMR players joining lower MMR servers? I wager it'd be tough to balance making the experience enjoyable for all parties involved. I think of things like reducing all repair values per second, increasing heat generation or decreasing heat dissipation, decreasing fuel capacity and/or regeneration, stuff like that. A high MMR player could have a slider that adjusts those values, and the bigger the handicap means the lower the MMR of the server you can join.
*** By "effective" I mean a system that was more or less backed by the community but just never implemented.

This.
Not really a valid solution, but I feel like if every player with this problem started training 1 noob each when this first cropped up, we'd have no problem.
Has anyone mentioned you can run over turrets to destroy them? Instant MMR climbing tip!
Another thought: a handicap system would make post-match MMR adjustments inaccurate as hell.
I ask because I truly do not know. I have never been in that high group. The best I ever did was 2004 and that was one time years ago. Now I hit 1494 IF I am lucky. I still have fun and I still try to do better. Sometimes I do. Last night I popped off a quad kill in under 10 seconds and was elated. I'm sure the high MMR guys do it all the time. Back to my question. Isn't there a group for like 2400 MMR and up? If not, can't one be made? Wouldn't that open up games for you to play? And yes I personally like the idea of the bring it button. I have played hestoned and ticklemyiguana and lot of the top 1% people over the years. Some of them took the time to teach me things. But when they come into a low game and just stomp crap out of everyone. Only they enjoy it. You may find the one in a million guy who enjoys it and "learns" something from it. Most of us in that low group don't. It is not fun. So I agree with you have the right to play. You should have a group slot that you can hone your skills against other people in your MMR range. Now that is in my opinion. It does not make someone else opinion less valid.
