200 SR gap in solo Q?

Competitive Discussion

So I just had a comp match where I was solo Q and another guy who was also solo Q was 200 SR higher than me. What is that about?

Last night, I was one game from plat, 2493, then, of course, I went on a downward spiral, ended the night around 2320 despite my best carry attempts with Moira, big heals, multiple gold medals, killing flankers, keeping overextending tanks alive, rough night.

This afternoon, I lose 3 more. Going into game 3 with my 1288 SR, a teammate announces that he needs this win for plat. He’s solo Q and 1 game from plat. I’m solo Q. He’s 200 SR above me. Huh?

Because 200SR doesn’t mean a thing?

Yesterday I was in a 3200 game with a 3600 masters player. It’s not that unusual.

Your MMR didn’t swing as much as your SR.

Actually the opposite. This happens when you’re on a winstreak and he’s on a lose streak. His MMR is lower yours is higher a bit than your sr.

I didn’t specify the direction of the swing, I’m just saying the SR changed more than the MMR :slight_smile: The SR is way more volatile than the MMR for established accounts.

Do morning queues you’ll place with people 500 SR above you lol… played with a bunch of solo q master players like that
