If you play a lot you will get rewarded for it when it’ easier to gain rating at the end of the expansion.
But player base is too intolerant and wants all rewards at once.
I guess it hurts many pvp players ego when they can’t hit the rating they think they deserve.
I was enjoying Blitz until my Warlock went 24-3 and still found itself queueing into 1300-1500 MMR lobbies.
Maybe they’ve fixed it now but it was enough to put me off the mode pretty irreparably. If a game mode is going to subject me to the whims of 7 other random gamers then the very least it can do is match me with better players when I win.
U are overcomplicating this. Using an example was just a means to get my point across. I know i could carry my friends, but again my point is different. I’m trying to make a generalized argument using a specific example. A solution, however, to this specific example doesn’t solve the general problem. I’m just expressing how this situation has affected me and my friends. Yes i know i could help them get higher rating.
Also, no, I play whatever spec I prefer. I don’t enjoy healing and I won’t force myself to “carry” my friends for the sake of it. Your solution (even to my problem) is problematic.
You can’t ever blame the general masses and that’s a rule of thumb. When large groups of people have certain behaviors, it’s the developers who are in control of the design of the systems who are at fault (in this situation being blizzard). They are the only ones that can somewhat control how players act and react to certain systems and rewards.
You can’t always give what masses are asking for either.
Players will always ask for everything to be easier when they find something inconvenient and hard to get.
When you get something “more easy” and don’t have to work for it your achievements mean less and you will go … meeh, it doesn’t mean that much, let’s move on on to the next thing and forget about what I just did".
For example in classic I got more happy about greens than I get for epics in today’s WoW.
A newbie most likely can get above 1600 with some time and effort within a season.
All that is required really is to hang in there, not blame others and looking for ways to improve without giving up.
It’s not easy or convenient but it will mean more once you get to 1800 for transmog for example.
If everyone could have 1800 easy it will mean nothing.
The problem is, few games and already have to play against gladiators
Actuall crazy that there is not a Single player above shuffle 2.4 eaven Bicmex whaaz and co tryhard too get it
Its how many weeks into the season, gearing is done, we are full gear
The alarm bells need too ring at Blizzard but they dont care about PvP
This is true but it doesn’t apply to this situation.
Arena is dead because its impossible to get above 2.2 in shuff and 3s its like 50 people above 2.4.
I think someone who was 1.8 in last expansion shouldnt be stuck at 1.4 on this one. It’s bad design and neglection
Blitz is way too easy to get anything, and i think its the only thing keeping pvp alive atm.
1800 transmog doesnt mean anything when people who peaked 1800 in arena can get 2.5 in blitz
that’s is fact all my friends were exited to play new expation but is arena fiesta. only for awc to enjoy and all their alts
Yes. Chan is the first person to reach 2400 on shuffle after multiple winning streaks on 2.2 lobs.
Last expansion the best players were 3k+ on shuff after 6 weeks. It’s crazy
Should have stuck to arenas and played rogue, Mage or priest. Then you could have gotten 1.8k sitting on your keyboard
I get 1800 on any spec I want in this game. I’m talking about general pvp health and the diminishing playerbase due to blizzard neglection.
and btw blitz mmr is nowhere near fine, its broken as hell 
and needs MAJOR fixs…
The system is old and tested, so that’s not the issue. The problem with blitz is that 8 players make the team. So for low impact specs, rng is a huge factor, what teammates and what classes u gonna roll on ur team. That can make it relatively tricky, making players win games they don’t deserve and lose games they would deserve to win.
Also it seems majority of players like to press their dps rotation in death match. I many times saw on this forum made up info that there are more players in bgs and it’s most popular bracket in wow than arena. Now we see even in extremely hardcapped shuffle there are many times more players than in free rating blitz. On top of that in blitz u getting High Warlord and possibly u r able to tmog classic pvp sets. If it still requires rgb titles.
This is was exactly what had been said about shuffle when it was introduced in s1 (not mentioning df prepatch, not worth it). But somehow there are lots of players with 70%+ winrate in top of the ladder. Doubt they are extremely lucky
half of my Friendlist quit/ or doing m+ instead
doing pvp in Tww is feeling like playing a Mobile Game
the Metapher is, playing pvp is timewaste currently
You are probably talking about Avidance and Mira? They are extremely good, they are duo queing as sub MW and literally carrying almost every game even at 3k mmr, nothing sketch going on.
I do. But only after I’ve obtained my rewards, then I can grief in lower brackets and put myself in the situation I’d been put to while I myself was pushing, thst is facing people 600+ exp higher than me. Now, THAT’s fun.
you brick your MMR and rating to play low rating ?
that affects you in the following season, your mmr would be low
I don’t “brick” it, because at that point I’d already gotten what I wanted. I can climb back anytime I want but I don’t enjoy the games. Been doing it every single season, I play till 2.4, then I drop back to around 2.1 cuz of chill games, carries, helping friend alts etc.
