Just had a blitz lobby at 2.9mmr where aside from 2 people, everyone on the other team had more rating. I thought that there were supposed to be improvements to the matchmaking in terms of rating distribution.
Edit: This happens a lot.
I had a similar lobby some days ago where everyone in the enemy team was on higher CR than my team. They were 3k to 2.6k CR, my team 2.6k to 2.2k cr. Both teams mmr was around 2.9k MMR. We got rekt.

the matchmaking changes refer only to class matchmaking so we don’t have like 3 balance druids in one team against no druid team. Blizz didn’t write that changes impact on mmr matchmaking. It had no impact on mmr team build. I had an eye of the storm yesterday at 2780 mmr where everyone was like 2500-2800 cr but our holy pala healer was 1600 CR and 1800 mmr…and we lost all team fights which were healed by that poor pala. We just gave up in the middle of the game and no one blamed him because well, he wasn’t even supposed to be in matches like that. He was not prepared as Illidan would say
it is MMR that is used to match the players not the CR
is the average wow player still that ignorant?
If people didn’t understand how mmr in solo shuffle back in DF season 1 worked, doubt they will understand how mmr works in season 1 TWW blitz 
…
yep. this happnes a lot ! you can predict with 90% + accuracy the outcome of the game if you look at the starting CR distribution (just order it and see how many ppl with higher rating are in your team and the other )- and not all the team just the better upper half. MMR is just useless. Blitz is just a slot machine.
Yeah all who read this try my method and you will see - you will turn into Nostradamus just like this - NOT NORMAL.

It should be CR though. If someone makes an alt and gets lucky lobbies, they’ll end up in a high mmr lobby with <30 blitzes played.

I don’t disagree with “bad players” getting lucky win streaks and suddenly playing at 2400 MMR while they have no business being there.
I also noticed there is usually a 150 MMR spread between top and bottom players
agree - take out MMR from Blitz.
also take out dual que - who wants party go play rated BG’s.
also if the team wins ALL win points / if loose ALL looses points. (tired of explining tacts and doing my best and when we loose im the only one that looses points - yes that happenes a LOT)
also im sick of studying the game for something im paying i need competent devs who are literally playing this game and make it a fair play experience.
