Blitz stuck in 1600

Not every single player get into MMR pit. But mostly.

I believe the MMR system is designed to pit people who lose a lot against people who win a lot. I already noticed this during DF.

Made it to 1997 and then droppen all the way to 1850, very often get queued with people who are below 1k
at some point it just gets very tough. If you are lucky you get people who actually communicate

They really ought to sort out these insane swings in CR versus MMR, because at the moment, once your mmr is shot you may as well delete your toon and make a new one given it takes less time to level a new toon and do placements than repair a busted mmr, and that just feels wrong, imagine if in league of legends or dota, once you got into their '‘mmr hell’ it was more time efficient to make a whole new account, unlock all the characters, and begin queueing again to get back to a normal rating than to just re-queue, people would boycott those games

League mmr is actually more punishing then wow mmr is
in league it takes longer to get your mmr up
while in blitz right now u just need to win 3-4 games and your mmr spikes by alot

I finally got 1800 and I love the elite transmog set. 2nd one I’ve ever gotten. Did this as a demonology warlock, figured out a good high-dmg output build while keeping my crowd control abilities and I stifled cappers all the way to 1800 so far. 62 games in total I think

ive been stuck at 1600 since the season started, i can’t get out of thise rating, im hard stuck, no matter how well i play people in my team mostly ignore objectives and ignore call outs in chat, it’s hopeless, i’ll never get to high warlord, i think im gonna let my subscribtion run out and not return until it’s fixed

That’s what I did. I’ve tried enjoy Delves, but
 Something tells me: Look to another projects m8&

you have less games played than me and i havent played in a week and i skipped the first week.

literally just play the game.

its either you get it done in 20-40 games and you are lucky

or you go on a lose streak and are forever stuck at 1600 mmr

theres no in between

and healers cant play unless they are MW or Pres evoker

play a DPS spec and you get easy lobbies

most of the healers specs have a higher forged marshall/warlord cut off than fury warrior - yet no one sane will tell you fury can’t play the game and they should go reroll to rogue or feral or dk.

when your brain is so ‘FOTM or die’ coded you just put yourself on a simple flowchart of nonsense, where any time you lose to a FOTM spec theres nothing you can do, any time you win its because you’re a god and if you ever lose to a spec worse than yours, its because of your team. At all avenues no personal responsibility is taken and delusion rules the day.

if you play anything other than a mw monk or pres evoker, you are taking up a vital slot for the healers
that would otherwise Instant cap Flag games

its literally 50./50 ( only 2 healer in each team )

those games provide an unfair advantage

HOWEVER

if you play any other dps, you have a 1 in 6 chance to be either carried by the FOTM top classes or do decent enough to carry the team with no detriment to the overal Flag games ( the healers have a higher chance to roll MW or Pres evoker )

so in theory yes.
if you dont play mw or pres evoker 
 play a dps

its simple logic really ( for a perspective of a healer )

if your theory was correct you would see keyboard turning healers in the top 10 for the holy paladin leaderboard, while simultaneously multi rank 1s span their wheels in the mud for hundreds of games at 1600 rating.

you don’t see that, ever - and no, not even if they solo queue. the cream always rises to the top. less personal input? absolutely - i can’t cap bases for free as warrior but a rogue can, but that doesn’t mean I have zero personal input and I am purely at the whim of my team mates to carry me.

they duo Queue

you underestimate how impactful MW and pres is for healers

if we was talking about Arena you would be right. but in blitz its different

i literally know one of the top 10 hpalas who exclusively solo queues.

i also know one of the disc priests who queues with a frost mage, not a sub rogue or a feral.

a week ago it was ‘mw or lose’ now its ‘mw or pres or lose’ and next week it will be ‘mw or pres or have dks and rogues and hunters and ferals to stop them or lose.’

you’re getting there - slowly, whether you realise it or not. you will eventually learn the concept of personal impact and responsibility in the game mode and this spell you’re under where you think nothing you do matters and you win or lose by raw chance every time will be broken.

ive achieved the rating i wanted on my Hunter and Evoker

ive got my pala, DK and shaman left
my shaman and pala are healers

my experience is far worse healing on those than it was my evoker

i shot to 2.5mmr on my Hunter and evoker capped 1800 and logged out

it literally 40% skill 60% FOTM class

im sorry i know you think you are " skilled so theres no issue "
but blitz balance is shocking

and yet this isn’t one of the specs you think has a high impact, despite being one of the best carry specs in Bg blitz specifically into the MWs and Prevokers that you’re complaining about?

this doesn’t mean anything, though - you’re the prime example of it. unholy DK was incredibly FOTM and this week its still incredibly good, yet you’re 50% winrate with it and don’t consider it impactful enough to add to your list of specs that can carry games.

im still in my placement games on my dk :slight_smile:

luck plays a huge part into the games you are put into
which again proves my point

if im unlucky enough to be in a team without a MW or pres. its a good chance its a loss

in the end one is still 1/8 of the team and either increases the odds of winning or losing depending on own performance.

only thing that can block the path is godcomplex
