Blank skill matches in General Discussion

    I've been curious about this for a while now. Some people say that a match will not be placed in a skill bracket if there is not enough data to accurately judge the skill bracket. I have heard others say that blank skill is lower than normal skill i.e. sub 2k mmr (this does not seem true based on my own observations). I have noticed one thing though, many people seem to go through a period of blank skilled matches when going between skill brackets.

    Can anyone confirm the reason why matches might not be placed in a skill bracket?

    No giggities?

      Officially, blank skill matches mean there is not enough to data to determine in which bracket this game was played.

      Judging by your recent matches and the fact that you got 4 blank skill games in a row, i think it is because your games are on the edge of normal/high skills hence why there is no further information.

        It could be the answer above^

        But it could also mean that the average mmr of the match is sub 2k+ mmr. (maybe around sub 2.5?). My friends and I only get blank skill matches when playing with really low mmr people in a party

          I think its because someone picked Sniper so no Skills were detected

            Thats what I was hoping, although it could very easily be what pilot said. The games certainly have not been feeling like they should be anywhere near high skill.
