Came back from S1 as Rsham, got ~2400 there in SS, and my MMR didn’t reset (why? it’s been more than a year).
So here I am, green geared in 2400 lobby, I have 20% less stats + twice as less mastery because apparently people play a lot of crafter gear + embelishments for precog and extra mastery, and tier sets.
So in order to get geared, I have to lose A LOT of games at 2400 mmr to farm conquest which is given very little for a loss.
Healing at your peak MMR with 50% heal difference is not really fun
Catch up is better than its ever been, though personally Id prefer if they did away with the concept of pvp gearing entirely and just make the gear from the conquest vendor free with super low Ilvl that scales up in pvp (so it cant be used for pve) and pve gear should be disallowed from pvp entirely. To make pvp that much more accessible.
I came back a couple weeks ago and was full geared in like 8 days not even playing most days lol especially if your a healer its crazy fast. Plus you can even send conquest gear to alts from your main nowadays using up the conquest you end up having lying around its great.
I would simply say, dont enter shuffle in greens. If your a dps the queue time is so damn long its by far the slowest way to earn conquest. If your a healer then it is the fastest but only if you actually win more often than not which you wont in greens this late in season. However if your a healer even in greens you can very easily find a dps in 2s to grind conquest, or play battleground brawl. Though 2s is by far faster.
Dont forget as well that the stuff you use to turn your conquest gear into tier set pieces that scale in pvp is retroactively gained so soon as you get the conquest you can get your 4 set right away.
I think gearing is good right now with free tier, crafted gear, wpvp gear and boxes although CP gain is a bit slow.
Imo mmr should decay if you haven’t played a single game in the season each week until you play so if you play a char end of season it has less mmr when you start and are gearing.
I loved gearing when playing on a normal curve with other players.
Do BGs with people with the same gear, meanwhile do blood tokens, vault and CP cap.
Though Tier sets RNG was not that great.
But going with honor gear vs full BiS in a SS is not great even at 1500 mmr.
Yeah the gear difference is compensated with skill difference, but still feels off
MMR still being high if you havent played in a while and have low gear can be annoying for sure but then the gear difference isnt SO high that you cant still win often enough with skill difference. Plus due to starting with high mmr you gain rating super fast when you do win. Problem I have with the idea of it resetting or degrading is your gonna end up with a lot of rank 1s and glads etc on alts at low mmr thats just gonna completely destroy the experience for new or more casual players at lower mmr making it even more unwelcoming than it is already lol.
Many of the top players even have multiple alts of the same class they main as these days.
or u can make a conquest cap group in 2v2 or 3v3 and get full gear in 3 hours as healer and get to play on 0 cr
