Skill rating wont go below certain point | Forums

[thefallenone55]

As the new event begun I've made a new deck with alot of cards that participate, the problem was that after an amount of game which I lost (predictable) my skill rating stopped going down, whilst the deck was still losing alot of games.
So my question is why did it stop losing skill rating as I continued to lose?
It stopped at 3736 points.

There is an anti-cheating measure built into the game to prevent derankers from preying on opponents who are way too weak to defend against them. At one time, there used to be legendary players deranking down to wood shield and obliterating everybody they faced.

This anti-cheating measure is a Skill Rank floor. It is calculated by taking the average of your current season highest SR and your previous season highest SR and subtracting 700. In other words:

[(Current Season Highest SR + Previous Season Highest SR) ÷ 2] - 700

For example, my highest SR last season was 6791. This season, my highest so far is 6709. This averages to 6750. That makes my SR floor currently 6050. If I drop to 6050 then lose another match, I will not lose any SR, though my opponent who beat me will still get the SR amount that I would have lost were I not at my floor.
