Why only 1 out of ten? Seems more like 1/3 are wintraders. And its understandable as theres plenty of pve players to boost in low brackets. All they need is about 6-8 accounts with healers to boost people from 1.2 to 1.8 and even higher for some others who want elit mogz and achieves.
With 6 accounts they are basically the majority of avilable healers and can easily force premade lobbies by peeling their customers (dps) queues. All 6 healer plus two or 3 customers que simultaneously. Some of the healers will get a queu pop before the dps, so what they do is join those matches as bots and aim for 3/3 win to stay in their rating. ultimately the last healers get their que together with the dps where they go in and perform the boosting service. They sit on discord with their customers and call out queue pops to keep everybody synced and to know when to enter or not.
Its even eazier if they want to boost a healer. Just need one healer account per bracket. They queu together and enter only if thir ques pop at the same time.
The only thing blizzard can do is train an AI model to monitor all matches and catch sabotage and botting activity directly.
I’ve played like 700+ games I think on various ratings. I’ve played against completely new players and Blizzcon players. Haven’t encountered a wintrader EVEN A SINGLE time. Any advices on how to get into this miraculous world of buyers/abusers/traders etc.etc.?
Edit: well, there were afk-first-round guys couple times. But to consider them wintraders?
Ignore the trolls here who try to gaslight that wintrading in SS isnt a thing
They either themselves doing it or just live off trolling people
Its SOO obvious and its happening a LOT. You meet a healer who walks in the middle and stays afk to die 2 rounds then 4 he plays gladiator style
I found a way around it,just wait until the last second to accept the q, and is less likely to end up with wintraders
Yep, because they can snipe easier into the que and have a controll over it, but only at higher ratings, and not at 1.5-1.8
it happens sometimes at 2.2+ mmr, more likely at 2.4/2.4+ mmr cuz healer can snipe easier “and it´s more worth”
nobody wintrades at low rating, these people where they assume as “wintraders” are just bad/ or give up cuz they lose anyway or got flamed
it happens pretty often, when u tell someone, to use his deff cd at low hp, or “pls use karma” they getting mad and instantly stop playing and griefing, it has nothing to do with wintrading.
and if u tell someone, that he is a noob or flaming the sh out of him, gg mate u will lose all games, and behavior like this, happen pretty often at low rating.
Yeah, unfortunately this works for me every single time even if I’m trying to be polite. I’m silent all the way through shuffles, because literally any word towards anyone results is negativity. AND people confuse me with a Russian…
Thanks for sharing. I’m lucky to play a healer then.
Win trading exists and is way more common then we can see, on my healers its not so bad because the que times so i get possibly 3 matches out of 10 win trading going on between a few dps but on my dps chars its way way way more too often.
for a while i thought it could not be a thing to be that sad to que solo shuffle and win trade with groups…
but then i discovered it…one day i was accidently lol( i used TeamViewer to gain access to a gold/booster farmers computer and got my discord linked to it) linked on discord to a group which i was banned from swiftly do to calling them out in the general chat you’d be surprised at what kind of high rated players do it aswell bracket group for 2200-2600.
a hole community dedicated to win trading from session uptimes to trading ratings to highlighting addons for community members ingame to potential risks being highlighted to avoid being banned.
think im bsing wait until it all comes out to the public and people catch this community im sure there’s more then one and they talk to each other as a channel in the discord was for affiliates so this could be websites and people/deals going on. was private for me to go through as i said i had about 1.48 seconds to browse as much as possible before they realised i was the trojan horse
ive got 4 healers 7 dps all fully geared around 2-2200 in 2s/3s/solo shuffle every season.
solo shuffle is the worse since low rated win trading keeps dps stuck in a bracket so long they drop and give up.
any man doing this win trading to a community or game is a worm, a cancer thats not worth to even live in normal society.
I paid rating midseason S2 mmr from 1599 to 200 as I went 10 times in a row into these trades with my druid. and they don´t queue sometimes to play normaly - the boostet one is in a pool off more then 20 Players to join and that is late at night enough to get a 4vs 2 qeue each time. If you play good they switch on each ohter an kill themselfes . As long as you are the one who lose 1 more round as one of them the boost buy get rating. mostly with heals you met them.
Not oging to lie. Wintrading might happen at the highest end when there are maybe 50 people who can be matched at the same time but at any rating below 2400 is very unlikely. Unless it’s a Prot Pala lobby.
