Why is the win counter broken?

KevinDurance

Greetings from Ukraine.

I rarely come here lately, but this problem is already making my nerves boil!  The crux of the problem: losing takes more winrate points than winning.  This is already annoying!!!  A simple example of my game battle mode (Brawl) in the current season:

Why, after winning with the hero Law, I became 65.24% from 65.14%.  But after losing playing Cyclops, I got not 65.14%, as it should have been, but 65.05%.

And so every time - losing gives more subtraction from the total than winning.  I've noticed in the past that 3 wins in a row gives less % than subtracting it with just ONE loss.   WTF?!

(continuation, for some reason this text does not want to be completely in the post, after editing too)

As far as I know, in the game, certain players make a deliberate loss (general chat every third message about this) by raising the win rate under the contract (although they lower their win rate at the same time), I don’t understand the point of doing this?!
Someone told me that because of this, the win rate system has changed. But if it (the system) shows the percentage of wins so inadequately (inadequately, for the reason above!), why is it AT ALL then needed?
  + I don't play ranked games, only brawl mode (Brawl doesn't have a boring forest in this mode), so why should I be affected by a broken winrate counter? Why do the sins of other players reflect on my experience of the game and punish me, even though I did nothing wrong? If the developers want to punish someone for some sins, why are all players punished? In addition, I really do not understand why players increase their win rate for someone, but at the same time they lower their win rate, what is the benefit? If anyone knows, please explain to me what's going on.

Uhm, I don't think you're getting how percentage works. Obviously, the percentages depends on your win/lose ratio to your total matches.

For Brawl, ya it's sad that it's a lottery game because you both need to have good teammates + a good draft of heroes. Brawl Mode is also attributed to your overall winrate. How percentages work is that, for you to be able to compensate your 1 Lose, you need 10 Wins. That's how I'll summarize it.

Brawl takes no skill. You can't pick heroes and some heroes are just bad in 5v5 fights in comparison to others.

It does take skill at some point. Aside from knowing which hero will do best in your team's draft, you also have to be good in your role chosen. For Mages, its best to finish and be good at early game. As a Marksman, you better be good at early game and not die and reach late game as much as possible so you get the upperhand. It does take skill and luck also plays an important role there.

Vice versa.  This mode is always hot and stressful, unlike the boring classic and ranked mode, where you have to wander through the forest for half the game

Let's all go back to my statement that it's also about luck of having good drafts...
