Hi,
The MM is all messed up this season and it's no news. My post is to address the extreme fluctuation of MMR in the placement matches. The problem of people being in a league where they don't belong is attributed to the fact that: Players are able to move up or down at least 5 ranks within 10 games of placement matches.
A lot of frustration comes with people in all ranks, but let's use high diamond/master as an example. In high diamond league, players get paired off with people who show the same rank, but lack the skills because these people somehow had a really good placement experience. Most of these players are plat 2-5 last season. It is indeed quite a jump. If you are in plat with a 50 percent winrate, you should not all of a sudden be in high diamond. It just does not work well with the stats. The reason why people can jump up 5 or drop down 5 ranks is because the 10 placement matches allow people to change their MMR drastically. If you win your first 4 games, you start to play with diamond. If you win 2 more, you start to play with masters, etc.
Personal experience: Just played a game where our Jaina had no clue what to do all game macro and micro wise. We won the game and it happened to be his last placement match. He got placed D3. I checked his profile, surprise surprise, plat 5 last season. I think you guys get my point.
In order to really fix MM, Blizzard needs to limit the MMR fluctuation in the placement matches. There is no way a good system will allow people to move up or down drastically based on 10 games.
