Why does there always seem to be a big glut formed around X rating, in wow pvp? It never follows a true normal distribution, you usually see like <10% of people below 1400, then like 85% of the game pop sit stuck in a bog around 1500-1600, then 5-10% are like 1700-2k and above with a fraction of a % hitting 2400
Why does this happen? Is their algorithm just designed that way? Every bracket has this shifted & weighted normal distribution curve

I doubt, people reached their limits, and only them alone can break through it.
because its not luck. one has to bring brain too to shift the odd in ones favor

Explain me this. Even if I hard slow with chains of ice and etc. and taking out their healer from reaching enemy team to heal. At this point my team have a healer 2x1 advantage, but they still manage to lose a team fight or either doesnât have clue which game objectives to do.

then its gg and you go next game. its a 8v8 mode you cant win every game.
but with doing positive impact over time you win more than you lose

Well I lose more than win. That is why I prefer arena more where I can solo carry myself and not be reliable of team IQ. (Not even including trolls who are not calling inc, leave base or alt-tabbed watching YouTube, cause it is almost every lobby at the moment. Ofcourse it is my experience, not everyone getting clueless players.)

the first time i hit 2k cr i lost 6-7 games in a row and ended up in the mmr maw with prot warrios zerging mid, 1h fury warrios, pve equipped people and i thought i might aswell uninstall x)
patience is key.
i played 3 speccs to 1.8k+ cr now and it definitely can see the impact i had and it even makes sense i that I can carry specific bgs more than others depending on specc on low mmr.
for example hunter i have much better winrate in arathi and panda bg than on ele because of the 1v1 strength, mobility and stuff. my ele does much better in ctf and silvershard because i can static totem efc, knock etc

I get lost faith in humanity when I see our FC taking flag to Yellow Base (where it is impossible to cap) in Eye of the Storm. Now I understand why my Granny was saying: We need another World War to get our brains running again.

Got to about 1970 on the second or third day of the season, took a break for a few days, then lost 4-5 in a row and then it became impossible to push. Now I get 7-10 for win at about 1.8, which means impossible to push without an insane amount of time invested.
Blitz is a waste of time. All that needs to happen is a losing streak of about 5 matches, which is quite certain to happen at some point, and thatâs where the push ends for most players since most donât have time to play 6 hours a day every day. Arena is a far better experience and more respectful of playersâ time. I guarantee that for the same amount of time invested in the arena, you will have better results and become a better player.
Blitz can also be good, but they have to fix a lot of things, starting with not pairing honor lvl 300+ players with honor lvl 20. Or simply put that a certain honor lvl is required to be able to que for blitz.

see it positive: he didnt bring it solo to the enemy base and then blames his team in chat
not my experience at all. leveld a holy pala yesterday and thought to cap conquest and learn the class i play some shuffle. it was a miserable and unfun experience and will not touch it again and go back to bgb.
maybe 2v2 or 3v3 is more fun but then the time invest to find mates and all thatâŠ

I see what you mean but I think the fun levels would rise if most people had ways of keeping up or stopping these flyers. Itâs just more fun than everyone not being able to and just running along at a snails pace.
Still, why canât I use my demonic gateway when I have the flag, but everyone else can fly, leap 2 continents and everything else?
Itâs pretty easy to simulate with programming. Basically not. Iâve play with it during weekend. Not sure that I follow blizzard logic, I donât know what they have under the hood. But! IN pool of random data: 10000 players, Iâve simulate games, with placement games and MMR looks how it works in game, and yeah mostly the same numbers.
I think for blitz implement team-based calculation of rating is a bit stupid. But we have what we have.
No, itâs stupid. People who break these brackets strongly believe that they are amazing PvPers, but no. Your real PvP skill could be only in Arena. But Arena is so differnt you canât normaly even use a same build for BG and Arenas.
One more time: BLIZZARD TALENTLESS DEVS. I mean a persons who responsible for design all of it.
Bleeding more mmr on the floor than I can see, yet somehow I still walk
im 1558 with an MMR of 1789 and i jsut lost -7 CR in a game

Yes, funny story that your win streak leads to nowhere, but lose streak takes rating and put you with people who actually do not care about their ratings, and youâll get more loses. mmr is broken.
Itâs not stupid, not everybody is in the same level, some people need to work harder along itâs own team mates in order to win and some might not struggle at all due to the fact that higher MMR (2.9 and higher) means that everybody in that lobby knows what to do and knows how to communicate as a team, telling me that Iâm an amazing PvPer, is a bit exagerated, there is a good handful of players that are far better than I am and I still got lot to learn, complaining constantly on the forum is going to keep you distracted in game, you over think too much and concern yourself a lot about MMR when clearly you are doing something wrong in the games
I watch streams of famous US bloggers and how they run Blitz. No, not a rocket since. Basically you right, we need MMR and CR, but what I am saying is that we need different MMR and CR. Because I am bet that mostly loses because of team (as a team, not some exact units).
lmao u guys are in elo hell, no way out
new char and next, if u lose 5-8 in a row, itâs over and u can re-create
thanks to blizzards insane MMR system

I still think you are over thinking it, you rather do research about what US bloggers say about blitz rather than understanding the reasons of the defeats on your end and what are you doing as a arms/fury warrior wrong.
I do not. Lol, I watch streamers when I do my work (for a living). Because I do not like other entertainment that much. Like a said effect. And you mistaken, my fury warrior grind rating noramlly, well give or take. My druid stuck. And I play as druid much better. Thatâs what frustrated me I also have SP which reach 1600.
So I do not overthinking)
