This game is a complete jocke. Once you reach around 3k mmr you face nearly most of the time wintrader and boster.
Two teams with Heal+DD que at the same time until the get the same invite. Once they are ingame they go afk, manipulate games and give the enemy team a freewin (mmr and rating)
This is a complety sh!tshow and nobody cares as it is only for a small percentage of the playerbase to play on those ratings and see it happen. So blizzard don´t care.
Reporting those player do nothing, they just que the next day or just play on an alt
They could bann them and ATLEAST fix this sh!tshow to make this mode solo only. No Duos. Or once you decline an invite you need to wait time x until you can que again. The penalty apply to ALL Characters so they don´t just hop on another char

I would assume blizzard allows wintrading even when it says its against it in their rules.
There is a reason why prot paladins wintraded since DF S1 with there being obvious proof, there would be no reason not to get rid of them. But they are still here.
So at this point, it looks to be allowed even when it shouldnt.
Now, I am not encouraging people to do it. But the lack of punishment when people do it combined with the people who grief by leaving excessively suggest there are rules they themselves do not seem to bother caring about.

I guess that their inaction stems from the fact that it only affects ~100 players and that soft inting requires extensive manual review. The prot paladins just became to obvious to their own detriment.
Nah, their inaction is more related to them not caring that much about it in general. Its very easy to see if they look into it who griefs etc.
The prot paladin situation just shows their entire lack of caring though. Oh wait, they did make it so prot paladins are dps now. So they are aware but they dont care otherwise?
Its just very odd.

Yep makes me just not play the game, I immediately shut down wow and play another game. Just had a rsham go afk right at the start, sat on mount then moved around where no other player was. Everyone in the group reported them.
Blizzard needs to start banning people but wiping all achievements along with it so they cant use them on another. I like what they have done adding blitz and ss but this is beyond a joke and shows they dont care about rated pvp.

Don’t worry,they also don’t care about unrated pvp.
Which is why it will end up dying at one point.

I can assure you it does not happen only on 3kmmr, I was 2.6 2.9mmr pushing with 70% win and I lost it all over 2/3 games were heal+dps teams afking in my team. And I see dozen declines on the ques before these starts and then heal+dps afking its not hard to guess whats going on.
They should put account wide cumulative penalty for declining ques, no rated soloq should allow declining ques for multiple obvious reasons which we are witnessing here. Also now that most people have fled to mop classic pvp its even more frequent to get these groups trading, theres just not seemingly that many legit healers left anymore and if its this easy for people to cheat well then they will, this should never been enabled and it should be fixed in the first possible window they can put penalty for declining ques for soloqs.

And it becomes easier and easier to do as the PvP population dwindles to nothingness.

Typical copy paste answer from blizzard
This message has been translated by automatic translation software to give you the best possible experience.
Support got shrinked. So who will have the time to check all my reports?
I understand that you would like to report some players for win trading, which is behavior we do not accept.
So why these player can still login and have those ratings?
However, to better respond to such situations, we ask that you report this behavior using the in-game right-click reporting feature. This is primarily because right-clicking provides us Game Masters with more information to investigate, making it easier to find evidence and thus sanction the perpetrator.
When? The Season end soon and we know after a season end blizzard don´t care anymore to penelty those players after
If you have any questions about topics other than this action, please contact us.
I din´t get a clear answer, why do i want to ask anotherone if the first one gets ignored?

There isn’t even a need for win trading as long as dual queue exists in Blitz. 1600 dps dual queues with 2400 rated healer. They get matched into 2000 matches and the dps gets +30 for a win but only -5 for a loss. It’s not against ToS and therefore no risk of ban.
Easy boosting is part of the design and Blitz is completely broken as a competitive mode.

Win trading and bots arent blizzards priority for years. Maybe if they started win trading delves, that would be a different story!

Its killing pvp retail and more people are going mop, so if people wish to have soloqs they should be vocal as possible that their soloqs should have cumulative deserter debuff if people decline ques. Theres zero reason for legitimate player to go blitz next season if they get wintraded 2/3 games.
People go back to shuffles, once they are high enough mmr and realise that same happens there and that some r1 spots are also traded they just quit and we have dead pvp. You have to put deserter debuff on rated soloqs for declining ques that is so common sense thing that should always been there.
We have matchmaking system that tells them where they should join and if they do not wish to join that they can wait with a cumulative debuff then till wish to try again, they should not be able to decide which que they would like to take without penalty if they decline one, by a common sense there needs to be penalty for declining que for rated modes. People are que syncing bgs since tbc in this game and they make rated soloqs without penalty for declining ques, wake up. This is not a big change to implement as its already even on unrated skirmish.

The new season began. All boosted people got his title. Nearly all booster still can play the game.
Reporting player doesnt work at all. Not one human checked these people and do action.
Even an AI can recognize what is happening.
Atleast we get a AI “PvP Games” next expansion and a epic battleground where 1/4 player leave after first zerg is lost

It took them sometime, but this season not a single prot pala got r1 because of Bans in Blitz or Shuffle (atleast that i know of.) They also didnt decrease the cr needed for r1 so the players who played normally couldnt even get it as the cr difference was in the hundreds.
It’s not only 2K+ MMR. Played 6 games yesterday, finally happy I have time for more and guess what? 3 games out of these 6 there was one player on our team (CR like the rest of us) and two players (healer with CR like the rest of us + dps with Extremely LOW CR) from some specific country and servers… Two times EotS and one time Gilneas the scenario completely the same, hunter on our side defending bases handing them over to the enemy. The third game I rushed back to the base to see it for myself and he was balantly wintrading by not defending at all. If we had one more defender there, than we would have been -1 against the enemy at WW or in mid in EotS, and this was “just” 1800 MMR.
So you can just count 3x a game as lost, rating as lost and spend another two hours getting this all back (if lucky).

Nothing changes, last season I had a guy that was advertising pvp boosting service and leaving game, so we ended 7vs8, another game with a healer doing 10m healing and laughing at us, another guy taking a flag on eots, then alone going to a tower full of enemies and giving them a flag, not even dying just dropped it so they can cap, wsg with a healer hidding in a base and doing 0 healing, leaving game after gate is open so you don’t get replacements. End of the season was horrible.
