Seems like a pretty onthenose late 2016 meme zeitgeist name . <| sep |> 1 Blizzard must stop using QM MMR as a ' base ' for HL . If you ' ve never played HL before , your MMR should be based on your 10 placement games ONLY . And honestly , it ' d be even better if you were banned from duo queuing in placements entirely . 2 Fresh accounts or accounts who did not play for an entire season should place at a maximum of Plat . Accounts that were active in the last season should be able to place as high as Master with 0 points , if their MMR is high enough . There ' s no reason to lump active accounts and fresh accounts into the same bucket , it makes no sense . <| sep |> I thought I was the only one . It ' s really annoying , you don ' t see the ' black thing ', but you do see the red arrow on the sides if it ' s not in your point of view . Very annoying bug .
