I am level 422 which is somewhere above average. 10 games in and I am ALWAYS top ranked player, with rest of the team being WAY lower than me AND the opposite team. I mean its is guaranteed 100% loss!
What do you think my win ratio is? its 1/10 LOL. And what am I supposed to do? Teach these beginners how to play? Or does blizzard think I can carrie my whole team with this magic rank? Fat chance.
This matchmaking literally makes it impossible to progress as one is chained to low ranking players. Should i just smurf an account to reset my honor level?
Honor level means nothing and is not used as a metric. The only one which is used is MMR.
With season start the MMR gets wiped and all start at 1500 plus artificial MMR inflation, which is currently 0.
Play more games and you will naturally end up where you belong, the first games might also be placement games where you are matched against all kinds of MMR to find the fitting one for you.
Open the stats tab and check your matchmaking rating next time.
There are multi gladiators out there with lower than 200 honor lvl. I have two glad titles and reached honor lvl 500 yesterday. One of my arena mates is honor lvl 1500 with glad titles since bc, the other one something around 800 without a glad title.
Honor lvl is no indicator for rated success and if you used the legion prestige system you had a much higher lvl with bfa release.
Also, i do tilt, too. But dont look for mistakes in your teammates. If you are this good you can carry.
Whats the point of Rated Blizz BGs if you dont get any points (%) to progress for the Season Reward and then old PvP mounts? Fun? I hope this is an early bug.
Do you really think that when the game finds 16 0-rated players, it just randomly assigns them to respective teams? It is pretty clear that it resorts to distributing by honor level.
But i think it does this not only for 0-rated lobbies but any lobby. It may work good at ratings above 1600 but for low rated or 0-rated lobbies it should be turned off.
I think you have missed my point. I am not disputing the fact that the game matches two teams only by rating. I am talking about how the game distributes the matched players in to the respective teams.
