this was an idea from someone else, but the change is similar to what LoL and Dota do. in those games’ ranked modes, there is a hidden MMR in addition to the actual visible MMR. this hidden MMR is what will actually affect matchmaking. this is a way for those games to handle smurf accounts - forcing high level smurfs to play higher MMR opponents if they are on a winstreak even in low MMR. this will help slippi tremendously from high-level smurfs hurting low MMR matchmaking
