Say you are 1600 rated, lose once, lose twice, lose thrice, your MMR went from the mid 1800s to 1300-1400, wins now give +0,1 or, 2, losses give -20, -18, -25 and you need a win streak of 5-10 games to go back to normal
Is there ANY salvaging your character at this point? With a 50/50 winrate, you’re bricked. Is there any way out?
You are not alone in this. Exact same scenario happened to me. 1600 over 2 nights play. Then an 8 game loss streak. Won last 2 games and 0 rating gain. Lost 1 and -15.
Yeah, most people just have a healer that they can call on like a pet to climb with. Think of it, this exact reason is just the point why boosting in bgb would be so popular, pay a rank 1 healer to queue with you, blaze through the ranks no sweat
There are 1131 characters above 2400 in US Blitz, in EU its 1445. Given that EU is a more populated region than US, this sounds about right and expected.
US is generally behind the meta, though, so its easier to do better there on mid-tier specs. For example in EU 31% of 2400+ healers are MW monks, while in the US its 27% and there are 10 holy priests in the US above 2400 while in EU there are only 6.
All this is to say, no - there isn’t a problem on US servers with MMR, either. Its just as easy or as hard, depending on your skill, to climb or fall as it is here.
This is just another red herring for people to chase rather than improving their gameplay.
“make a new char” is now “swap region” lmao - its like weight loss. there is one right way to lose weight - eat less calories, and a whooooole lot of meme ways to lose weight, like ‘stand on this thing that shakes your hips’ or ‘dont eat anything after 7pm!’ or ‘always drink lots of water with your cake!’
