I actually play at this rating with my twink right now, to get better at FCing and also have an alternative with some more relaxed lobbies.
To address your other point,… it makes no sense to argue about made up scenarious.
You basically have three choices: 1) Critically reflect on your gameplay to get better and cilimb, 2) stop playing blitz, 3) continue blaming others and staying at your current level (+ inflation boost)
I keep saying that you have no idea what you’re talking about, because to begin with you play heal monk, a heal who practically alone can rush all the flag bgs (I don’t tell you Eye of the Storm because you don’t usually play fetch for the flag at first)
I do not invent scenarios, I explain my experiences that I have had in this mode and anyone who has been playing this trapped rating for a long time can confirm it to you without problem. Or I can tell you about another classic about Eye of the Storm. You have the 2 bases and a lighted one, not to call it anything else, capture the flag when we say not to capture the flag, completely ignoring us and taking away control of the 2 bases, allowing the rival team to have the opportunity to achieve the comeback
Again you speak without having a clue. This is a team game, if your team doesn’t work, all my effort is useless, because I can’t win a bg alone at least my class doesn’t allow it since I play paladin ret, a spec that you totally depend on of your team. If I were playing rogue, druid or monk in your case, I could give you some reason, but that’s not the case, so you have no idea what you’re talking about.
What is clear to me is that playing this mode alone without a good heal is playing in difficult mode. Last night I was playing with a heal monk friend, and what a difference playing with a good heal who is meta, it’s nothing to do with it, my partner and I could do much more than when I played alone, we even went up to 2k mmr starting with 1500-1600 mmr. Also, what’s the difference between playing with people above 1900 compared to people 1700 and below, it’s a whole world, nothing to do with the people who were playing right now.
Today I played alone and I think I left it for 2k mmr because I won the last one at almost 1970 mmr. I’m leaving happy for the first time since the ss started, I hope to stay for this mmr, because I know I’ll go up if I stay here
The one thing you will need to climb is map awareness. Beyond that:
Do something well consistently, e.g. FC. If you are not playing a seizure-inducing high mobility class, you need to do something else - either pump, communicate, or be a good duelist.
You do not need to do all 4, e.g. you can be a terrible communicator, never FC, and be terrible 1v1 and still climb by winning enough team fights to impact your WR. This requires you to be in the correct team fight at the correct time (map awareness).
Remember: everything that you are complaining about is somewhat valid, but is at least equally likely to occur on other team. The only way this would not be the case is if you were part of the problem.
For some reasonss I can’r post links, but you can copy / paste link above. Rating was UNCHANGED, next match my team has 1200+ MMR and enemies 1500+ MMR and I lose -15.
For one day I’ve dropped from 1524 to 1267. So… I can feel it for sure
oh no thats really awful being not only behind in mmr team but also loss mmr , yeah just do like most people does and similar how i did , wait for the last final 2 month of this season and start playing so the mmr get inflated
I tagged after the weekly reset and only tagged along with people who had lower MMR than mine… I kept losing a bunch of Blitz games, losing -10 or -15 points each time, while a win only gave me 3 or 4 points. I thought this was because my MMR was higher than the others in the lobby. However, today I won a game and received… 0 points.
I’m usually not one to complain, but I feel like the MMR system is totally broken.
i know that feeling i got qued into 2.400 mmr with 1700 rating , atleast i won alot of games but when im trying to push on my hpala i got so many people that act like npcs or script bots and when i see people there they move forward and back while doing their warrior rotation etc , idk either game is plagued with bots or script bots , it has to be something
my druid had a blast pushing blitz on launch of season but my hpala just cant break through the barrier due to people not even doing objectives and fight for no reason.
and im more exp with my hpala than my feral druid
TBH hones, I was thinking i understand and found logic in the MMR system. I can not find anymore.
I have played 13 games as Enhancement. I won my last 5 games, lost 1 before (means, i have 12 win and 1 lose)
My 11. game was at 1537 CR / 1580 MMR (yesterday, won +11 CR)
My 12. game was at 1548 CR / 1555 MMR (yesterday, won +13 CR)
My 13. game was at 1561 CR / 1550 MMR (yesterday, won +7 CR)
I tought I had to play at around 1.5 MMR for my first 10 games which is used to be the “placement” games. But even with 92% win rate my MMR does not move up, but down… What the hekk
I no longer understand the logic behind the rating system.
Edit: today first game was finally at 1690 MMR for +14 CR. There is hope.
Edit 2: there is no hope, my next game (after winning @ 1690 mmr) i was placed in an 1533 mmr group, so winning that got +6 CR… nice job Blizzard.
because understanding the logic of the MMR and Rating system based on your first 13 games is an impossible task comparable to guessing the layout of a house based on its front door.
Who said it’s my first 13 games? It was my first 13 games on this spec (FYI: you have different CR and MRR per spec).
I am at 1.6+ CR, 1.8-2.1 MMR on multiple alts and on ele spec, i already played 200+ games in total (and ~500 in pre-patch). That’s why I thought I understood how the MMR gain / placement games works in this bracket - I experienced different “ways” with way worse win rates.
