Anyone who lost 12 BG in Blitz in a row?

I don’t understand how something like this can happen and it happened to me twice.
So any educated input from you guys would be highly appreciated.
If I am correct and joining blitz bg is semi random (at least around your rating), then losing 12 bg in a row, at some point you will win XX number of bg in a row, which so far hasn’t happened to be yet.
I manage to reach 1860 rating, suddenly 10 games was with very poor teams in a row, then lost win lost win, I lost around 400 points, fight my way back, reach 1906 rating only to be joining again obviously very poor teams one after the other and again losing my rating.

Yes I have thought and say ok some of those loses could be my own making, perhaps I did something wrong, and yes I have a couple of games who I might judge wrong in the situation and played poorly for any number of reasons, but those cases are very very few.
I always obey if people taking charge and I follow their lead, I ask and check when people need me to be and since I am a hunter they want me 90% defending, I call for incs ALL the time, and I don’t know if other people have similar experiences with such big fluctuation in their rating.
I honestly ask all of you, could it be my fault and I need to change something?
Because in many games I score top, damage and killing blows, but because the team wants me in defense I also score in damage low depending the game.
But I learn that you can have billions of damage, but if you don’t actually kill them to delay the other team then you are simply showing off damage and no work is done to cap or to take a base. So killing blows are needed in a game. Delays the other player by a lot. And yes I target the healer…
Even when I tell them Im MM hunter and to be in the heart of the battle the vast majority of groups I play like 90% they wants me in defense.
And I am a team player, I don’t want to sound to my team smart a** and do whatever I want, I follow the strategy and to be honest I also take the lead and I have my wins leading the team… no complains, I must do something right.
So after all this work that I put, my mind, strategy, team player, all I get is loss after loss after loss.
In real life I used to do binaries, you know trading currencies… and in my research I took a look at strategies of casinos… so I am little knowledgeable about “random” and “chances” and “odds”.
In those 2 months playing Blitz, I have the sense that they might put players on purpose in more poor made teams. Something is little off here that doesn’t make much sense to me of being literally random.
What am I doing wrong and losing so many points when I reach 1900s?

My Dragon actually started of with 10 games and 9 losses, now i am on 2.7mmr with him.

My Monks are at 3.3 and 3.4 mmr but they didnt start off bad so doesnt matter here^^

That first streak actually can happen and its frustrating but you can get out of it.

And no you dont have to duo que to get up. i allways que solo

What is annoying is when you lose that many in a row when you are still in prelim mmr status where you gain 150mmr per win and lost 150 mmr etc if you can get a streak when you are in there it’s great if not it sucks

yeah you have to grind out of that for long over 70 games when you get a first 12 loss streak

It does sometimes feel like that, at least in the mmr under 1500 bracket. I’ve had people AFK, a healer who did less healing than me (a Hunter), people in full greens, people not even attacking the efc as he runs by and other things that you would expect in non-rated.

Like I’m no pro player myself, but having gear and putting in minimal effort would ideally be standard in a “rated” gamemode. :smile:

my educated guess would be too many people are " zerging in the middle of the map"

there’s always those type of players that tunnel vision and think getting kills = win

the most infuriating type of pvpers

You’re aware that controlling mid is actually a good idea?

it’s pointless to “control mid” while ppl zug hugging in mid there is still left and right, where part of enemy team with brain can easily pass clueless mid controllers and then kill your fc while you’ll continue wasting time on “controlling the mid”

The best strategy in a ordinary WSG is to have a big group camp the entrance of the opposite “keep”.

I did some blitz to farm conquest on my enchancement shaman, im not a good enchancement shaman. im currently like 1700 CR and 2800mmr still gaining 24 points per win. Its an absolute slog but in the end completely meaningless.

If you enjoy it, play it, if not dont bother is the most simple way of putting it but rating doesnt matter in any way shape or form. I dident notice even the slighest game quality difference between 1500mmr and 2800 mmr.

I have a freind who is uhhmm average if im being nice, he clicks half his buttons. He went on a journey from 1500 rating up to 2900, then back down to 1500 rating and now he is like 2900-3000 ish. All while not improving at all.

Wins n losses seem fairly random, we also have flag maps being completely decided by whoever have more rogues as they are for some reason given free flags etc. Treat the gamemode as unranked with better conquest gains n free rewards if you care about those.

Play enough games n you´re going to climb despite not improving so if you have a certain rating goal for whatever reason just grind games endlessly, if you´re not straight up harmful for a team you´re going to get rating sooner or later, it might just take alot of games.

Personal skill is not a factor in battlegrounds and blitz. Everything dies so fast that there is no difference at all between a 1000 MMR player and a 3000 MMR player. Your spec is the only thing that matters in BG style PvP.

High damage PvP doesn’t require any skill. Stun → boom headshot.

I just lost 10 RANDOM bgs in a row. Either because we didn’t work as a team, and it ended close - either because of a premade group that obliterated us.

I went mercenary to see if it was the same on the horde side… it is.

I’m not the best at PvP, but I know what to do, and always try my best. However, when it comes to facing obvious premade groups that wipe us and camp our GY till the end of the timer…

I don’t think Blizzard will do anything about it any time soon.

It happened to me too.
So I just went up to 2200 rating, with 3k mmr. After that I lost 8 in a row.

For example:
Enemy team : 1 mw 1 ww, 2 rog, evoker.
Our team: 0 monk, 0 evok, With rshaman and r druid 0 rog.

This roll continued until i didnt lose any rating, but my mmr goes down to 2300.

I stopped.
Maybe next time idk.

Not only do high rated players fight better, but they also pay a lot more attention to objectives on average.

secret mmr thing ruins everything up blizzard expect people to carry noobs…

for example you are 2600 rating.
game will put you in a team where you are the highest rating 2600 and person before you is like 1900 rating so you are suppose to carry here, mathmaking will put you in this kinda games for like 20 games and see how much u carry others, you mostly lose here cause people are clueless so your mmr drops.

and then boom mathmaking will put you in games where average mmr is 3200 for 20 games so you mostly get carried there or even if you lose you dont lose rating.

so mathmaking keep shuffling people into higher and lower than where they belong to see if they geting carried or do the carrying.

this is literally THE WORST !!! thing happened to wow pvp since 20 years of its lifetime.

u can think this as in like lets say you play league of legends and u expect all 10 players to be on same rank but no mathmaking makes the teams like 1 of 5 in each team is highest rating and other 2 is lowest rating and other 2 is mid rating lmao…

i think they do this to make que times short cus there is not enough playerbase so a stupid person that started playing wow for the first time last month is playing in same RBG blitz game with someone that have multiple world rank1 rating…
