MM fix

Base rank gain/loss: 10
MMR deviation: Up to 3 (d)
Score deviation: Up to 6 (sd)

>MMR Deviation
1 point in "m" represents a full rank. 3 is the game average (mean of all players)

MMR Deviation takes the average of both teams, and subtracts the average MMR of the winning team from that of the losing team.

sum(m)/5 = ts
d = tsl - tsw

Matches where MMR deviation is greater than 3 will not be created. Nobody will play with or against someone more than 4 ranks away.

>Score deviation
>Control Point Influence
ci = Time on active control points*
ct = Time at least one teammate was on an active control point*
*If control point is defended and fully reverts, all capture time for that cycle is omitted.

5.5*(((2*c)/(c+ct)-1)^3)/sqrt(((2*c)/(c+ct)-1)^2)))
(Max. 4) ~85% solocapping
(Min. -4) ~15% solocapping

>KDA
k = Your KDA
kt = Average (mean) KDA of your teammates

kd=3/((0.75)^(-ln(2)/ln(5)))*((k/kt-0.25)^(-ln(2)/ln(5)))-3

(Min. -3) 4x team KDA

>Damage

d = Your damage total*
t = Duration of match (seconds)

*Medics are credited with damage done by their healing target

dm=(d/(600*t))-300
(Min. -2) 500 dpm

>MMR Influence
sd=(cp+kd+dm)*(0.14*(d+3))+0.66
x0.66 to x1.5

>Limits
Score deviation can not be greater than 6 or less than -6

>Parties
Parties are treated as a single player for the purpose of Score Deviation, full parties (6-stacks) are compared against the enemy team instead.

>Uncertainty
When an uncalibrated player joins, the player will initially be treated as if they are statistically average among all players (i.e. exact 50th percentile). Over the course of 10 games MMR impact is multiplied, being halved if the outcome of a match is the same as previous (i.e. 2+ wins/losses in a row). MMR impact is always halved after every second game is calculated. Initial multiplier allows players to move over 10% of the playerbase with a basic win (with a score of 0 in MMR and score deviation)

What maps would you like to see added to Matchmaking? How about removed? Do you think Valve will ever acknowledge Highlander? What major class reworks would you like to see for TF2 to finally be taken seriously as a competitive game?

WHYYY WONT YOU LIIKE MEEE INSTEAD

human isnt cute

my tf2g pals say i'm cute

what do your tf2g pals say about me

reminder that videogames is a disgusting pedophile who wants to fuck human because he's underage

videogames is also underage retard

I like to think of gender confused people as weak. The change seems to occur most in people between the age of 8 and 20, when the human body is most into it's stage of growth, when hormones are surging and the mind is most unstable.

The desire to switch gender usually comes from the idea that the grass is greener on the other side, for the majority it is that they wish to become a woman, so they never have to grow up, so that they can remain childish and mothered by other people - so that they never have to go through adulthood. Lazy, selfish. I find most traps are incredibly narcissistic too, victims of their own complex now that they have designed, in a way, their dream girl, having given up looking for her, they become her, then wear her like a corpse over their real identity, and act as her, fooling others.

Having others see you as what you want is manipulation, it does not matter how you put it, and traps are sly, damaged people who live through manipulation of themselves and their surroundings.

Even on the Internet they try their best to be feminine through their misguided view of women (":3" spam, etc).

You are a failed male.
You will not escape this in the eyes of people who don't sympathize with your immaturity and failure.

am i underage retard

Shut the fuck up. You sound like a little bitch. You need to grow up and be able to find the clear criticism in someone's response without acting like a goddamn princess. Or, maybe you should go back to tumblr.

yes thats exactly what you are

does videogames want to fuck me

raffle

how do i win human

i want to kbfgbrt human

is it just me or do you not get any xp if you join a game in progress in casual

You get participation EXP, even if you join with 10 seconds left and don't even get assigned a team. It's dumb. Joining matches in progress is literal cancer.

It's probably broken, I joined an almost finished(like 5 seconds left) game once and got some XP, some other time I joined a game in progress and played a round and won but got nothing.

I wonder what would happen if arena was added. To competitive mm that is, we all know it would be a shitshow in casual.

As for class reworks, I've always wanted to see afterburn get better skill-indexed and for Spy to become more focused on objectives.

I managed to sell even more items and now acquired another key!

Have to wait till next week to trade it though, can't wait!

naw m8, open a cr8, celebr8!

no, i want to trade the keys for refined and then for hats.

gambling is bad

^ is a liar

Gambling is fun! Fun!

that's what THEY want you to think

I got the Danger out of a $2.49 cosmetic crate.

It's worth like 1 ref

gambling is bad

I'm having fun and you can't stop me!

stormy storm or blizzardy storm

>wasting REAL money on VIRTUAL items
its your money i cant tell you what to do with it but holy shit

i like stormy storm

it reminds me of me

Whichever you like best.

When are the prices for strange iron bombers going to drop?
Seriously its been over a key since release

Iron bomber is the new hotness right now, it's not going down anytime soon.

But its literally stock with no bouncy grenades

less random tumble if I recall correctly

Any reason why I can't find any killstreak kits on backpack.tf? I typed in the name of the item correctly but it never pops up.

It's broken. They will never fix it. Use the SCM instead. Buy mine on the market, please.

>They will never fix it
Why lots of people like killstreaks.

which one is yours
ill buy it if its under 2.40 CDN

Oh. Nvm, then.

still
what is it

Fire horns/TS bottle kit
Incinerator/TS Kukri kit
Villainous violet Quickiebomb Kit.

whats your favorite sheen/effect combo, tf2g?

Fire horns/TS because those sell like hot cakes.

fire horns team shine

although professsional killstreaks are tacky

Violet / incinerator is great

Where the fuck is asteroid

youtu.be/Ur21JTSpCh0?t=6m12s

singularity/daffodil
discharge/manndarin

btw what am i supposed to use with this thing

If you wanna be an ass, Crit-a-Cola and Sandman.
Any other time it also pairs well with a Pistol of choice and either the Atomizer or the Fan of War.

singularity daffodil

Fire horns with any shine
Tornado with any shine besides daffodil and greens

pistol with atomizer seems pretty good

any tips on using it or getting better at tracking in general?

Team Shine, two colors for the price of one. Plus they are the best of the sheens.

got firehorns manndarin on everything

o shit

only concentrate on your crosshair
like pretend its your whole screen

why have blue/red when you can have BOTH at once?

Hey /tf2g/. Sorry for the retarded question.
I am trying to learn the variant of rocket jump called flick jump. I just can't understand it , even asked on jump servers but noone is helping me with it. What do i do ?

like this?
youtu.be/jiolGBsKPWg

Good point, user

pretty much

Shortstop has less spread than the Scatterguns, so you can do pretty good damage at mid range if you hit your shots. If someone gets too close to you, such as a Spy or the like, you can just shove them away then fire at them as they land if you're not comfortable with them being in that range of you.
Pistol works well if you just need to do chip damage to a class to finish them off. Pretty Boy's would work well if you can aim well with a pistol and just need extra health.
Atomizer makes it easier to jump around your opponent or to gain some leverage against Soldiers who'll try to predict when you fall so they can get you with splash damage.
If you need to practice your aim and how much damage you're doing, then download and load up a map called tr_walkway_rc2. If no bots spawn, then type in console sv_allow_point_servercommand always

even if it's mine favourite group of colors, i have to say that violet look bad with most effects. hot rod is better

hot rod is so gross it looks like shit and people just use it because lol pink
i hate pink
fucking stupid meme colour

correct
purple is better because purple is a royal color and was always associated with richness
everybody who likes pink should kill themselves

vialous violet is shit, stop complayning

lrn 2 spel u dum dum

Pyro is kawaii

i will not. this shitty sheen not deserve to spelled right.

Kill yourselves.

...

>mfw noone helps

you forgot to make it 3 times larger for them sweet sweet pixels

kill yourself

meant to link this

Learn to spell no one, faggot, noone isn't a word.

No, YOU kill yourself.
Noone will miss you you pink trash.

no YOU kill yourself
and

yellow has a big bum

not that it'll make a difference, but who do i vote for? i like pyro better but heavy needs it more

pink has a little brain

Sorry , i still need help though.
