    A month ago i bought db+ to track my current tinker position, and it turns out that.. I have no idea how does it work.

    Here's an excel doc where i tracked my position:

        Srsly? I have >2k difference on my partymmr and solommr, does that mean i never get to play with friends, not even when i play not tinker?

          We're working to address the solo/party issue. In the future your rankings will essentially "throw out" (or at least heavily discount the importance of) the lower skill party games.

            Can you still include party games where you play with a higher ranked friend? My solo games are putting me in around platinum 5 atm, party games with a higher ranked friend put me in platinum 6 while ones with lower friends put me in platinum 4.

              Yeah, the goal isn't to throw out all party games, but rather to make sure that your ranking doesn't get tanked just because you occasionally play with lower MMR friends.
