I would love to but there is no stable group neither tbh.
The more you play the more your rating should adjust to put you at the level you play at. Losing the odd game from teammates mistakes will happen, if your losing 5+ in a row, need to look at the common issue in all them games and how you can change.
It’s the same as any rated game, improve yourself and communicate effectively. Thats what you have control over.

It is not. For example, in SS you play 6 rounds to generate every possible combination to eliminate team mate factor. Also you can choose your partner in arena games. You need to play thousands of game to create enough sample size to see your real potential in Blitz. Also there are many heal/dps duo queues which make climbing harder.

I was meaning more rated games in general, lol, dota etc.
You can help teammates with polite advice and shot calling etc, outwith that your own gameplay is what you have control over. Better to focus on improving your own faults than worry about others.

Good advices but dunno if they work. Just completed a blitz. Our rogue did 4m and fire mage 10m while enemy team’s uh dks did 180m and 150m respectively. I guess cliche advices don’t work in Blitz.
Blizz have to put back unrated (brawl) bg blitz (or create a “Follower Blitz” with bots) and lock the rated version until you win at least 3 games on each map.
The amount of people who have no idea how this game mode works after many months is insane.
I seen some crazy stuff even at 1.8 MMR…
- EotS: two people try to capture Blood Elf tower at start, then asking in chat: “is it bugged?”
- EotS: rogue takes the flag and running to locked base and try to capture
- EotS: controlling two base, someone took the flag from the enemy team and captured it at 1200 points… even if we asked him to wait until 1350 (huge time waste and can be a risk too on close games)
- Deepwind George: someone captured a base then guarded it for at least 2 mins without re-capture… (i have no idea how he did not notice it’s became neutral)
- AB: rogue kills the guy at stables and realize he can’t capture the base (10 sec left)… he casually went to stealth and rushed to BS
- Many map: Other healer following me everywhere because he has no idea where he should be… even if i ask him to help X/Y base, etc…
Just a few in the last 3 days. The first 10-15 games can make me cry on my alts. They made me so mad I actually left my last game on my MW today even if I can count on one hand how many time i pressed “leave battleground” in the last 10 years. If we lose because the enemy team better in skill or positioning, or counters our composition it’s okay. But when 5 people out of 8 have no clue what happening and 2-3 player try to carry… its a nightmare.

So if these things happen at 1.8k, they prove my point. Spec imbalance is worse than expected. Zug wins.

Its funny because its not actually better. It because a lot sweatier where small mistakes are punished.
There are no team wipes because nobody knows what the bg is about but doesnt mean it becomes easier, just more fair xd.
Thats what sucks about blitz but i guess its inevitable like in any team pvp game.
Its so hard to climb rating at some point but the higher you go the more punishing and more rating gets wiped by a loss. I had that happened last season. I was on a winning streak. Then on a losing one and i got sent back to 1700 and got stuck there for a while as wins gave barely any rating now while losses wiped a lot of rating.
Not sure i like the system feels very unrewarding and punishing for a game mode in which winnings are something out of your control.
I mean I cant blame the players I can only blame blizzard. They add a new game mode and there is absolutely nothing in the game explaining not even how the game works but the big changes compared to how normal bgs work. Its appalling. So you have to figure out for yourself which takes many games, costing your team games or watch YouTube guides or something. Its absolutely appalling how there is not some pop up or UI explaining the BG mechanics. So yeah then you get people defending capped flags for the whole minute or defending uncappable ones for ages until someone tells them.
They really need to introduce at least now they have follower dungeons and the AI brawl, a completely AI bg for people to practice alone like all mobas do. You jump in alone not bothering anyone and you figure out how to best use your class or how the maps work before going in.
Mind you this is not a solution people will still queue without a clie but at least people who are serious about this new game mode will do that before going in to screw over real people in blitz bgs.
But alas pvp is too niche for blizzard to ever put any resources to make It more accessible for new players.

What sucks about Blitz at the moment is that there is no real reason to play it. The Gotta Go Fast(er) quests were removed, and the rating is mostly meaningless.

battleground blitz is already hard to have impact on it when you have a full team of crazy monkey with a stick
and you want 2 more crazy monkey on your team and hope to have even less impact on the game ?

I don’t like the fast mounts and random buffs tbh.
Yea bunch of useless mages and hunters who never won duel in their life thats bg.
Isn’t it exacly the funny things that makes blitz different from rbgs?
How are you guys complaining about bad players in blitz, they are on both teams you know? If you are so much better than them then you should have no problems carrying your team.
The problem most people don’t realize is that they aren’t as good as they think of themselves.

Problem is that allot of players dont know how the bg works and just go pew pew in the centre and react shocked when it didnt work.
That is unfortunate man…
But that’s what you sign up for when you voted for a SOLO rated BG and arenas…
you not going to get MULTI GLAD never do anymistake players in any of those 2 modes
BTW I noticed that people try more in rated BGs playing objectives then they do in Random
I only have 945 rating in i’m garbage pvp player but even on this low rating i have people actually try to play the game as it supposed to be played
Yeah i noticed they removed several pvp quests now. That really sucks. Especially considering no vault no, surely there should be MORE quests that give conquest, not less…
As for the reasons, well same reasons to play any rank content. Fun and rewards. You get cosmetics and titles.
I just hate EotS at this point. Every match is the same, my team zergs mid while enemy gets both bases and win in 5-7 mins.
