MMR growth decreased by 4 times in relation to season 2

Blizzard, @Linxy @Kaivax and others, save the game and this season. Increase the growth of MMR for winstreak, why in season “2” I got a gladiator playing through lfg with different guys without voice for 300 games 51% winrate my rating was 2600 and the guys were with the same level of play as me with the same mmr, and in season “2” I could not overcome the bar in 1900 rating for 1500 games played and win rate above 52%. Now in season “3”, I have already made 300 games in 3x3 and have a rating of 1750 with a win rate of 56%, but my mmr continues not to increase, I get a rating lower than the one I started playing with today for 52% win rate / session, sorry how is this possible? I win 4 games in a row and get a total increase of 48 MMR to the current one, and for one defeat I get the same mmr with which I was up to 4 wins in a row.

Return the growth of MMR as it was in season “2” of SL. When for 4-5 wins in a row, it gave 200-250 MMR. Save the season, save the game, the lich king will be released soon and even more people will leave the retail, now ladder is already dead, I play with the same players I played with last season at 1900 rating.

There is still time to fix everything, season 3 was disgusting, r1 players managed to push 3k at the last moment, the ladder MMR was very small, while in season 2 the ladder MMR at the end of the season was 4k+

Now, just like last season, there are only boosters, streamers on the arena, friends of streamers, and just in general only assembled groups of gladiators + r1 players.

I make group in LFG 15 times a day, it’s very difficult to find someone to play with, everyone starts to leave after 1-2 losses in a row.

Don’t be so greedy for the gladiator rank, I reached it 2 times, I know that I play at the level of 2.6 players, I should not sit at the 1900 rating for 1500 games played.

It makes me so angry that it goes on for 2 seasons in a row, and I still keep trying my best and don’t get any reward as a result. I really want to play now, get my mount, I’ll just delete this game like many if the same thing happens in dragonflight with a low MMR growth.

Pass the information on to your developers, please let them just multiply the mmr growth for wins in a row.

More info in my post under the blue post.

Some people would argue you were just better in S2 and more dedicated while it has nothing to do with the huge inflation :slight_smile:

What i really want to see is rank 1 titles being account wide so bizzcon champions don’t take 10 spots per account, instead of giving rank 1 to 0.1% of characters give it to 0.1% of accounts.

These are people like Bualock, who now laughs at all of us and says that the current rating is your true rating. When he does not get a gladiator, he will understand what the matter is. When even r1 players will not be able to push him into the gladiator. I wouldn’t just say that, I got a duelist this season before him, and went out to play against him, and beat him, there’s nothing special about him, he gets a rating only counting 3k players in his team. Therefore, I have the same motivation as before, I always strive for the maximum possible, I am always motivated and do not give up.

Therefore, he sits here and giggles, instead of recognizing the real problem, and helping players who have no connections with 3k players and are forced to stand in search of teammates for 2-3 hours to find two people for a couple of games, with current experience and mmr like yours.

Blizzard Why hasn’t it been fixed yet? Is this a low priority for the developer? Every day, the auction is repaired 10 times, and no news for arena, unbearably simple. There are less than 2 months of the season left, and now it’s simply impossible to play on weekends. you have only 1-2 people working on retail?

s3 was good, too much inflation is not good either. S3 was still way easier than old gladiator. Current season is just obv bugged.

If you reached glad 2x (bfa s4 and sl s2) and other season you sit in 1900, you are not even close to be ”2600” player

Said a man playing holy priest who was a top 1 healer in ladder without leaving a single chance to other healers, If you told me this while playing on another healer: Monk, or a paladin, I would gladly take your opinion into account. Then why couldn’t you get up more than 2800 if season 4 and SL season 2 were so simple? I almost took 2700, my ceiling is no different from yours, according to your logic, if season 4 of BFA and season 2 of SL was easier, you should have taken 3700, but sorry u have only 2800, you are a player of my level, just in the class that was meta at the right time (A reference to your received gladiator for season 3, we will praise you). Praise yourself and convince yourself that we are all worthless and you are great.
Oh yeah, you don’t have a BFA season 4 gladiator, but you know everything about him.

You know, 2853 as disc not holy. And yes i only reached bit over 2800 in most inflated season ever. I could argue that i played it 29.10.2021 and season ended 3,5 months later. Maybe i could get abit more. There was no point to play and push because i know that i’m not getting r1. And yes, i would rather look the ranks, not rating. When i peaked our rank was around 500, same cr was prob rank 3000 in the end of season.

Still you are blaming the system, when you cant reach gladiator apart of easiest seasons. Still i reach it and blame myself for not getting r1

Depends on the point of view.

Season 2 had nearly 50% more players than season 3 (273,000 vs 189,000) and the season also went 11 weeks longer, which is a passiv inflation of like 150 rating estimated.

A healthy inflation is good for the game as it keeps it alive! Especially as the titles are binded behind a fixed rating gap. With that, you get glad for free in some seasons, while in others mostly meta comp players are only allowed to achieve it. That’s a weird design!

The inflation should try to match always the same amount of players getting glad, as m+ raider also mostly get the same rating every season, right? Or does it scale there also directly with the amount of players doing m+?

I knew that you would answer exactly that, that there was no point in pushing rating further. Well, I naturally believed in your story, you are a very strong player, I envy you, in season 2,3,4 of the BFA you did not have time to play wow, this is the next story. I heard you, the system is not to blame, I’m just a weak player, your truth. I will definitely come here to laugh when you don’t get a gladiator this season (if they don’t fix the mmr before the end of the season), because the system is not to blame, but you will say again: that you didn’t have time to play, the system has nothing. all works fine.

Holy moly man, when i said im strong player. I just told you thay you dont deserve anything else than what you get. What does it matter what i did in bfa?

As i said current season is bugged, s3 was fine. Being hardstuck 1.9 is not same as 2.6k player. You live in fantasy world

You are big cringe almost/i deserve/i’m -guy.

Agree, and thats why old system was way better. Also way more interesting to fight for titles

13

Some people could argue thats old rival maybe duelist so it doesn’t matter that much.

That has nothing to do with your issue, why you mad?

14

I agree with that, but it would also mean that you and your jungle mates wouldn’t have gotten it, right? :slight_smile:

All of you BfA/SL Glads are incredibly delusional (especially BfA S4+SL S2 Glads). Rating is completely meaningless since it’s not consistent. There were seasons, when it was harder to be 2400 rated, than being 3k during SL S2. The only consistent thing are %-based cutoffs, so if you were 2600 rated in SL S2, according to old %-based cutoffs, meaning if Glad was still 0.5%, you’d be a RIVAL. So why do you feel entitled, to be able to get every single glad mount from now on, if you weren’t even able to get into what would be considered duelist cutoff, in the old system, during SL S2?

No, you are not a “2k6 player”, you are a “2k6 during hyper inflated seasons player”. That’s why hyper inflated seasons are bad. They give players like you an ego and make you think, that you are better than you actually are. I will break it to you, you are a decent player, who can reach gladiator only during inflated seasons, but you will not get it, when the rating is not skyrocketing. Next gladiator you will get, will be DF S1, if you decide to play then, since that season will be inflated again, unless you somehow improve a lot within 2 months or straight up buy it. If I was you, I’d not waste time trying to improve, but rather start farming gold, since that will give you a higher chance of succeeding this season.

Bualock is not a real gladiator level player, he is again a BfA/SL gladiator, that’s a huge difference. If %-based cutoffs were still a thing, he would have been several hundred rating away from getting gladiator, during the seasons he got it. In fact 80% of the “gladiator” players here on the forums and of these so called Multiglad twitch streamers, would struggle to even get duelist, in the old system.

Real and true, but I’d argue it should be classwide, not accwide, same as gladiator mounts, but that train has left the station a long long time ago. :face_with_peeking_eye:

Sometimes i wonder if i am the only person left that didn’t have his titles during inflated seasons go up his head.

17

Yes, but it still would be way more fun to push last weeks as hard as you can. But soon wotlk so i can enjoy those kind of things

Maybe i will be rival or challenger or duelist. My rating and titles are still irrelevant to op:s post.

18

is there a way to suggest to pin on the top of the boards this post? cause that’d be great. the number of people not realizing it’s the position in the ladder that matters is baffling, gladiators or not.

Yep, duelist cutoff in s14 for EU was 2050 or something - first season after the battlegroups removal. in s15, duelist was 2300+, didn’t get it since I stopped around 2.2. :man_shrugging:

Having so much fun right now playing sweaty asf games vs mostly old wow veterans at 1350 CR and even with a positive win ratio and i am still unable to climb. Going from 1600-1800 in season 1 was easier than right now.

Current Blizz couldnt give af, They are selling up at the end of the year then going off to ruin some other game franchise somewhere else with their greed, And the only thing they are focused on is one last milk from the DF release that will probably be a complete disaster too. Current wow is a meme, Just accept this and level an alt or play arena’s just to improve for the time being.

I think its combination of many factors but basically they screw up two season a row for eu :slight_smile:
