something you'd know if you knew how MMR works. Killing 1 strong player will boost your MMR much, much more than killing a dozen newbies.
That's really not how MMR works, so allow me to try to educate you.
I try to keep this as simple as possible.
It isn't directly dependent nor tied to any individual player in any way, it is calculated through an algorithm that takes into account the server average MMR vs. your MMR and the score you gain in that server compared to the other players to determine the MMR value you gain/lose.
For example if you play in a server that's average MMR is higher than yours, and you top score that match you will gain a lot.
even if you bottom score in the same server you won't lose any significant amount as far as i understand this.
If you play in a server thats average MMR is below yours, and top score, the MMR gain is much less, depending on how far apart the server average is from your MMR. Bottom scoring in this server will make you lose a much higher amount too.
If you stay in a game for less than 2 minutes, it doesn't affect your MMR at all.
