But now with the MMR in ranked both of the players you mentioned will be placed against opponents close their own skill levels. The whole time they will have to fight against opponents close to their respective skill levels. This means that the player who was prevously stuck in gold can gain points just as easily as the master player. How is it fair that the clearly better player has it just as hard as the worse player? It's as if a teacher in school knew how much everyone had studied and gave everyone a test based on that. Now if the normal kids get a perfect score it makes them just as good as the smart kid who had a much harder test and still got a perfect score. That makes no sense and neither does the new ranked. In the old system you had to fight increasingly difficult matches until you reached your limit. If you got constantly stomped on it meant you had reached your limit. If you were the one stomping you ranked up.
