Blitz is a joke of a bracket

Buff arenas mmr gains already and do some balancing, blitz is a complete joke. It requires 0 skill and anyone can just dice roll their way into rank 1 lobbies. There’s no way this guy should be in the same lobby as rank 1 players:

(ended up being bottom dps as affli in a teamfight map). It’s literally a complete dice roll bracket.

That’s the point. Wow needed a bracket where casuals and bads can feel like they accomplished something and get their seasonal rewards. Arenas entry level is too high and most new or bad players trying to get into it quickly give up.

Everyone knows BG blitz rating means nothing and definitely doesn’t reflect players skill the way arena does - and that’s fine. Pvp shouldn’t be exclusively the way it’s been for years now.

This. As i was getting 2200-2300 rating in rated bg in different seasons i got tired of boosters in rbg who ruin the game on different mmr and of constant nerfs/buffs to havoc dh which either increased or decreased the chances of teams inviting me into their groups . Blitz fixed this because i can just queue on my main class regardless of how it’s nerfed and play. No need to look for group, no need to be buffed by devs, no need to wait HOURS while my group is formed, no need to deal with boosters etc.

Blitz literally fixes all that walls/obstacles other modes have. So i see no problem here

Blitz is RNG. Completely. But yes it’s a joke. Looks like 20% (maximum, my guess) have 2000+ rest 80% have MMR pits. Lol.

Or maybe maybe different modes require different skillset? Already 2s 3s and SS are different with different skills required

If it is, then why haven’t you reached 1.8 yet?

This.

I’ve reached. And still claim MMR unfair. Not even broken.

Omg why didn’t you tell us? GZ! :dracthyr_yay_animated: :dracthyr_yay_animated: :dracthyr_yay_animated:

(Edit: liar, you didn’t)

On this account my fury dropped because dc and now 1299, feral 1760 and feral on another account 1801. But this is not the point, as I said many times I do not care about ranks. Of course I would like to have 2000+ but still.

Someone says that 2s, 3s, and ss required are different skills. Even BGB and RBG the same. But why the heck blizzard did same system for blitz? That’s the problem.

I do admit that SS reword is good! Maybe needs some MMR improvement as well, but scoring is so good! Why not to make something like this for BGB?

(Edit: do not call people laiers just like that m8)

Ahahaha ok. Think what you want.

you’re 1400 stuck in arenas and over 2400 in blitz. I think you’re a prime example of what’s wrong with this bracket

Something very frustrating about the mode is that unlike solo shuffle, what you do is largely irrelevant to how much rating you gain, it’s all in the hands of the team. Wish they would implement some kind of system where your stats are weighed against everyone in the match so if you have 1/5th the average deaths, 10x the average dmg and you are the highest contributor to an objective, losing 1490-1500 should never ever be able to slap you with a -25cr or something, it’s just a joke

On the same token, roll god tier teammates and you can literally end the game with 0 on everything and gain rating, which is equally nuts

“Stuck” is a vague word. I’m literally 100% win-rate in the arenas, and I just barely scratched the surface.

I just do not like arenas, and I don’t want to waste 3+/- hours of my playtime after 9 hour work shift waiting for 15-20 mins qs in SS.

Blitzes itself is a joke. A lot of ppl don’t care about BG objectives, they’re just doing zug zug making almost impossible to get higher. And team matchmaking also is a complete joke. Won against 1.8 mmr, next Q was with the 1.6 mmd team, then freaking lose streak because ppl just don’t care about BG objectives.
Blitzes is HUGE blizzard mistake, ppl are not playing there like in rated pop,ppl are not learning there.

The inherent problem with blitz is it’s totally luck of the draw whether you get a win streak or loss streak which massively impacts your rating gains and losses.

I started blitz once I got relatively good gear. In 2 nights was up to 1600. Then had a masssssive 8 game loss streak.

Then when you win again. 0 rating.

I know the system is there for a reason. But spending 20-30 mins playing for 0 rating is soul destroying. To lose and immediately lose 15-20.

Some design thought is required to fix it. It’s fundamentally flawed right now.

It is fundamentally flawed, but on another level. It is flawed in its core. Because you win(and MMR and CR of course) depends basically on others, but it’s almost impossible to introduce solo so much impact to win BG. RBGs require teamplay, but team play is exactly what blizzard killed by creating blitz. A lot of players just don’t give a heck about bg objectives, about even pushing buttons, and you can’t do anything about it and can’t even tell about it (special thanks for new blizzard chat policies for ultra-fragile ppl)

And what skillset is needet in BG Blitz spam Q with a healer wow much skill, i think monkeys can do that
You dont eaven need to PvP too win BG Blitz roll arround with a flag and avoid pvp is it all it takes too win

I need a addon that detect BG Blitz raiting abuser so i dont end up play with one

To be honest basing this screenshot off solely arena games is a bit troll though, yes the MMR is inflated and yes the bracket is meaningless, however these people could also just be seasoned RBG players?
