lack of team means people will be protective of personal mmr. If I'm 1.8 no way will I play with a 1.5 friend and risk rating.no getting around that. We can't reset your mmr each time you play with a different person. Easily exploited. Be a better friend.
how it will actually play out. Push your best rating up each week with core group, then play however you want the rest of time.I could, then I'd have to grind back up next week? Players above a certain rating aren't playing for points, they're playing -
There has to be a rating penalty for losing a match or it is too easy to give someone else wins.
also fearful of return to the days of "pst gearscore", I think people might get obsessed with that number.I would not be surprised if people use this number to determine how good you are at the game (

Like idea of Xrealm arena, bit worried about loss of social element though. The: "Having to tough it out together" aspect of teams.agree. Realized something would be lost but felt more was gained. Still considering options to help preserve comradery
will new system auto create teams for every combination of people you play with, or will it be exactly like RBGs? Hope it's former.It does not create new teams for every combination of players like SC 2
Also people will demand a high mmr now to play with them wich means when u play with friends you kinda bent yourself over.MMR has to be tied to a character or it is easily exploited. Nothing you proposed gets around that. (
