100% agree. It isn’t about being gatekept, its about queueing up 10 games and 4 of them have a multi glad or rank 1 or streamer in them. If you’re someone playing an off-meta comp or maybe you’ve just never been 2100 before and this is your push, it is extremely tilting knowing that you’re playing against people who should be 1,000 MMR higher, but aren’t, because Blizzard didn’t change the MMR value correctly and so your solutions are:
- Grind thousands of games to become good enough to consistently beat people who have a decade more arena exp than you
- Stop playing and log your meta comp alts
- Come back in 180 days when the season is inflated
Why? Im playing right now. I am at rival-duelist rating, at rival-duelist MMR. where are all the rival-duelists? Oh they’re “end of season rival-duelists” and they’re 1500 rating right now? Yeah… okay then. What a fantastic system. I wonder why Arena participation is so dire…
