From what I understand, MMR is based off you beating up players of a similar MMR to increase your matchmaking rank and the cycle continues as you go against more and more people with higher MMR and so your MMR also increases (please correct me if I'm wrong).
So tell me, what happens when your MMR is not right? Ever since the influx of activity in Oceania+Asia ever since the two regions have been fused together, I've been playing more and more in the region and loving my 100 ping rather than the 300+ I was having in the US. But I began to notice something. People in the region have averages of 1400-ish MMR. And while I did feel guilty when I dared to join the first time, I immediately regretted feeling guilty. The players were dodging my Hellfires on Bunker and rebounding with very accurate shots.
Maybe it was the one server I was in, but I feel that the MMR, in Oceania+Asia at least, is out of wack! People have been coming back into AU/Asia with too low MMR because of their bad lag in US and/or have returned to the game! Why would I care about this? - you may ask. Well, other than me not knowing which server is legit new players and which one isn't, high-tier AU players (at the very least) actually are not able to join these said games because of the average being so low.
Is this a problem that is seen in other servers, or is it just Oceania + Asia?
Also, I have no clue to help this problem without any intervention from either the devs or the community - and even then it is still iffy. This is a problem without a clear-cut solution and I feel that it'd only continue to grow as time goes on with a loss of community due to the possible unbalanced games that crop up.
