Kicked out of a Blitz match and lost a very good portion of my rating

Greetings.

So: I was playing with a friend in blitz matches, the rated versions, while, out of nowhere, i was kicked from the game. At first, all i got was a 15 minute penalty and not being able to que for further matches, which is bad, but still not unbearable.

The thing is, once my friend was done in the battleground, i found myself loosing my rating, going from 1562 to 1412. that’s 150 rating lost.

I’ve tried making a ticket for this, but in-game it doesn’t allow me to create it, as it doesn’t fall under any category placed in the customer service area.

I need help, and soon. This is quite frustrating, and it feels awful to have just been close to getting 1600 rating for the èlitè transmogs, only to loose a VERY high portion of my rating.

For leaving, disconnecting or being not present in any rated PVP you get penalised after much demand from the community to take action against leavers. This unfortunately, also means accidential or unwanted disconnects get penalised as well.

GM’s are unable to assist you with restoring any lost rating - your MMR is unaffected and you thus cannot create a ticket about this.

Okay so: the thing is, what happent to me is neither a DC or leave. The game automatically made a loading screen once the match started.

But even then: If my MMR is unaffected, does that mean that i have to grind the same difficulty to get back to where i was, making climbing up the ladder to 1600 all over again even more difficult? … That’s messed up.

It is involuntarily leaving.

Yes and no, if you lose you will also reduce your MMR and CR. Inversely, if you win against harder opponents you gain more CR to match up to your hidden MMR. Eventually, you’ll face the same opponents again if you’re worthy to be there.

Ah, Phew. For a moment i got scared that i would have to face 2400 rated people to get to 1800 XD

Thank you for explaining this to me! Blizzard really should fix these bugs, although. They punish people for trying to play the game.

Thanks saneko! ^^
