I noticed lately that bad arena matches throw me off balance, like I get angry and can’t even play anymore.
What’s pissing me off the most are dumb partners who have absolutely no clue whatsoever and make me lose rating I worked hard to get by getting lucky with a previous partner. For example yesterday I had a disc priest that Dispelled bops and Bubbles (first time I’ve seen that being done ever) and I was able to defeat my DK/Hpal nemesis for a change. He only played for cap, so today I lost 15 out of 20 games I played with other randoms that insta leave after playing like an autist.
I’m not even good at arena, but even I see so many trash players who don’t know Anything!
On my WW alt it’s the same story, I get rating with someone who doesn’t care to play arena, and then pug with others and lose it all. Like on WW I lost 15 games as well.
And it absolutely fking tilts me, which makes me play bad and lose more and I eventually stop.
I’m super chill, even the worst M+ pugs make me laugh, but most people are raging during M+. Raids as well.
Am I the only one reacting like that to Arenas? And why is it happening?
I’m never toxic, maximum when I get pissed I just don’t say anything haha. But I always praise and compliment good plays.
But i have like 5 people I added after successful arena series, but they all either played for cap, have partners which were offline when we played, or just don’t wanna do PvP anymore…
I’m curious about how people on these forums got their partners? Got friendly with random PuG people and formed teams? Play with irl friends? Or pug all the way?
Insane. And here I am pissed to the verge of quitting after like 100 games I care about… thx for this, it helped somehow.
It’s just im putting Alot! Of effort into building my characters, my Rogue is like a perfectly tuned racecar, I read about pvp tacts and strategies, watch videos trying to improve, and I expect to get at least 2.1k or smth, but then some pals BoPs himself while im getting rekt by an Arms war and all that effort goes down the drain lol.
I’m gonna give you a big tip…
You are the problem…
Improve yourself then you can climb.
having the mentality that you lost a game because your mate sucked or smth might make you feel better but in the end it’s not gonna help you improve.
wow arena is the only game that can actually tilt me really hard, i got diamond on league, global elite on csgo etc and it doesnt matter to me but this game is something else
Yes and i’m not sure why, like the magus above me said, i have no issues in other games but WoW… oh boy.
I was GM in Overwatch s4, Held EU record Trial times in ESO for months at launch, top recorded Juggernaut Warzone damage and max hit around s8 of SWTOR, and was even 2400+ in that meme game Wildstar.
But WoW iv’e mainly done arena since Cata playing on and off yet never pushed above Duelist (other than HotH but that isn’t arena) Been higher in 2v2 and even 5v5 than 3v3…
I just get too tilted at the higher levels of this game for some reason.
I don’t like blaming others but then i think of my accomplishments in other games and start feeling conflicted, maybe i just suck the most at the game iv’e played the longest and my accomplishments here were all carried idk…
No, not really. I’m not toxic towards teammates at least.
How ever I have noticed that q’ing with people at around 2-2,2k that links you glad from previous expansions tend to be silent until the first loss where they start going off on you, never mind that you played flawless before that first loss. It’s so frequent I’ve stopped queing with 2,4k exp ppl, the rage and toxcicity is just not worth a few wins.
This is soo true.
I myself am not getting angry I am getting dissapointed from time to time and that dissapointment is mainly in myself. Still I suck it up and queue again. I must say I am trying to play with people around my cr so I can just get games and think what happened wrong and what happened right. My goal this season is to get 2400 but not just get the rating I want to get the skill to get there since I see it. I played a couple of games at 2200 mmr by a miracle and man am I trash, people are so good at this game. I really want to be so good myself.
And I hoped it will improve with rating like M+, I mean you’re mostly getting clueless scrubs at +8, but +16 most runs are flawless. I thought I’m stuck in this Arena equivalent of medium M+ lol
To improve I only need game practice, since I’ve never played with equally geared partner, I’m always there to carry, while you can not practice when you are 1v2 all game struggling to out CC/LoS/Spread pressure on both enemy players which only delays the loss bcos of potato partner, I don’t wanna give examples since it’ll take too long to describe.
Arena is not a solo experience, improving myself is ofcourse needed, but will only get me so far. 50% is on the partner in 2v2s. Im not good enough to be a playmaker and a carry.
I don’t get tilted if I’m deleted by corruptions and trinkets, or outplayed/outCCd, I’m getting mad when potato players throw my games and then leave. It’s like a ninja pull troll in M+ who purposely wipes the grp and leaves thus ruining the key.
Surprised at replies of guys who also get tilted in WoW despite being successful in other online games so it’s not only me.
I figured that the only way to stop tilting is to stop caring about rating and W/L rating, but that way I don’t think I’ll ever improve.
I mean M+ becomes predictable and basically scripted after long enough doing it.
PvP on the other hand, sure there are things that you EXPECT to happen at certain times and try to prepare for it but it doesn’t always go down that way.
Like iv’e had healer partners that are thrown off by the enemy NOT using their interrupts, so they stop caring or trying to fakecast, get interrupted one time and die.
Just silly little things like that or maybe your partner has a different idea on how to play vs a certain comp to you, end up tilting people which then just play worst.
Had the same problems. Fixed some of them and got my second BfA Elite yesterday.
To not get tilted you have to get used to losing games. The MMR system is designed around the idea that you lose at least half of your games.
Dont try to be like a professional player who gets elite rating with less than 100 games played. The average dude needs a lot more. Just tryhard it. I needed 490 games for 2.400.
Dont mind toxic ppl. Each competitive community hast this kind of players. While playing yesterday i was whispered by opponents with texts like “your trash end your life” - dont bother, dont answer, report them and go on.
Pushing rating with rnd guys is not easy - i stop to play rnd at 2.100. You need to find some one to push with. A good tip from the streamer trille was to lfg with voice. If some one leaves after one lose or cant handle loses at all he will not bother to queue into a voice group. This way you can sort out potential ragekids and maybe find a mate.
TL;DR - Tryhard. Just queue - try to go for 1000 games played. LFG with voice to sort out ragekids. Never argue with toxic players, report and go on. Dont mind losing, the MMR system wants you to lose.
I’m at 600 games on my rogue at 1.9. Granted, i started with 0 exp and only got some idea of what’s going on 400 games in.
I mean, just a minute ago on this WW, I que with a resto shaman into 2 fire mages, ez free win right? No way. Stupid mages combust fully into my Diffuse magic, wasting all damage. 1v2 Pillar Hugging begins. I rotate all my kicks, rops, rolls, fort brew, LoS sheeps, manage to NOT get sheeped even once, karma when I failed positioning, and what did rsham do? Nothing. Not a single hex or wind shear, no static charge, i end up dying when i’m out of gas without him popping spirit link or ascendance. His excuse is *I’m perma sheeped", well there’s a DR on sheep bro, and in 2 minutes i wasn’t sheeped even once. So both mages are on 10% and I’m dead out of CD’s while sham stands there with everything ready. How do I NOT rage?
So I’m down below 1.7 with a whoppin 22 losses and 5 wins this week.
Upd. 1 Another game, another loss, HPal got rekt by Surv with no burst, which he wasted into karma out of the gate. Incap, peels, rops finished and pal died without BoP or Bubble.
Upd. 2 Another game. Priest joins party as disc, enters Arena as Shadow vs Fire/Destro. Gets blown up in 2 seconds. 1650 Rating. 200 rating lost in 24 games.
Whaaat? Really? On the other hand I played League for one season up to Plat 2 and it felt like I had been dragged through the deepest, darkest corners of hell.
Speaking only for myself here, nothing, and I mean NOTHING tilts me the way League does. It felt much more like secret military torturing to me.
Karanze and Tumiztwo already gave you solid advice. You can get there, but you need stable people to queue with. Finding them is basically 95% of the difficulty when it comes to climbing.
Don’t mind your rating too much. Just spam queue a lot and think about what you could have done better in order to win. Minding your rating atm will not do you much good. Try your best to understand how each class/spec/comp works.
Watching streams of really good players will also help you a lot, even if it is a bit time consuming.
Maybe another weird tip. Play the healer part yourself.
I stopped playing as DPS in Legion S5 because i was rotting in LFG. Playing a healer will show you a new perspective on the game. I learned much more as healer. Also you find mates realy quick and you can be picky.
I experienced high exp players who played with me just because they could not find a healer for hours.
I thought about it a month ago, but saw that like every monk is a MW healer now and it’s totally OP, so I went WW route. BUT Tbh it will be like starting from scratch again which I already did on Rogue this season, then WW, now MW? I’ll just burn out and quit the game.
so it’s not only me.
