If someone goes 0-6 in rated solo shuffle, others should never recieve CR/MMR drop

The worst outcome in constructed arena is 0 rating change if mmr disparity between teams is too high. This is exactly how it should be in rated solo shuffle. You can’t look at 6 matches of shuffle as seprate games, because if someone goes 0-6 then it means it wasn’t possible to carry such person and you are getting punished with cr loss despite the fact that was nothing you could do to prevent it.

That’s literally how it’s working right now, it counts each round as a match. The system is, it’s not me saying it.

How is rating calculated for each match?

During the Dragonflight Beta, we received feedback on wanting to better understand how rating is calculated. There’s a lot of math and calculation that goes on in the back end, but effectively the Solo Shuffle match is calculating 6 matches of arena into one.

When a player enters a match, we determine the expected performance of players in the match based on player matchmaking rating (MMR). We take all the rounds into account, considering who was on each side and who won, so it matters which specific rounds the player wins, and not just the total number of rounds won, in calculating impact on MMR.

As for why you need to be punished, there will be differences in people who can carry that person, while others can’t, and so on. So the rating system will separate you from those who can, by causing rating loss for you while rating gains for them.
It’ll occur in other shuffles if that person got 0/6, sure, but the point remains the same.
