Might buy a legend bundle <| sep |> I think that when societies start going the shithole , people ' s expectations also go down . Like feeding your family for the day is what you would call a successful day , rather than buying a new house or a fancy car . Slowly , they would think that if any of us survive , we are lucky . I am just speculating . <| sep |> Come to western pls 3 I love smeb gorilla pray and peanut poor kuro <| sep |> I remain unconvinced that MMR decay is the way . As a counterexample , let ' s say we boost his uncertainty rating AFAIK , this is what shows up as personal adjustment in the MMR change tooltip . Sure , few games would be ruined , but he ' d be losing 2 or 3 times as many points . This would tank the MMR relatively quickly e . g . 1 division every 3 or even 2 losses if things are really bad , but gradually . Over time he realizes that Samuro has been nerfed to dumpster tier and Onyxia is all the rage . Compare to the MMR decay , where there are 3 zones MMR decay is not strong enough , guy goes offline for a year , comes back one division lower . Essentially nothing changed from the current state . MMR decay is perfect and everything is unicorns and rainbows . This is really hard to achieve . MMR decay is too severe and the ladder becomes the same shitshow SC 2 was from late 2013 to early 2015 .
