I played 14 games post Qualifier matches tonight and I have a few opinions to share.
1. Stick with it until you get done with your Placement matches, it gets better when you are playing people you're own skill.
2. I know Blizzard said your own performance goes into your skill gain and loss, but I find this to be so minor that it's basically just win/loss. I seem to gain or lose roughly a level worth of skill rating every game. No matter how good I play.
3. Blizzard has to remove the skill rating change from games where people leave. It's complete bullshit that one person can leave your game, leading to a countdown that allows EVERYONE else to leave, and yet you still get skill rating loss. It's not even your fault. And yes, people still leave these games semi regularly despite the harsh penalties. I had one game where the entire enemy team left after one of theirs abandoned them.
