Please fix matchmaking and MMR

I played 36 rounds and ended up with only 4 points!
I was playing as a healer and queued for 6 solo shuffle games in a row. In every game, one DPS had 0 wins.

  • I got matched with 3 experienced players (~1800 rating) and fresh players who somehow managed to die
  • A Mage with two Ice Block charges died three times without using them!
  • A Paladin died multiple times, even with Divine Shield available!

In one game, there was a Gladiator DPS who carried the match, going 6-0.
Great job to them, it was a frustrating experience.

So how much rating do you think you deserve for not winning a single lobby out of 6?

I’m done with playing WoW until they fix healer and MMR matchups.

Most of the time I go against healers with lower MMR because Blizzard wants queues faster, and often you go 3-3 because that’s healer life = means my rating won’t change, and MMR will go down.

Yesterday I got matched up against a healer with 80-90 less MMR (at 2400+) - would’ve gone 3-3 as you usually do as healer if a dps hadn’t thrown a round on my team.

So I went 2-4 and lost 50 (!!) rating. Never have I ever even gained 20 rating for going 4-2 in shuffle at 2300+, but it seems to be the norm against me. Such a FUN mode as healer!

Yeah I’m done with this game. Most unrewarding system ever implemented.

So everything worked as intended ?

Your purpose was to help the dps get into games.

You enabled 6 rounds of shuffel. So all as Blizzard wants it.

And with the 4 points you are also motivated to play again , while also staying away from your goals for a long time.

So go que again so dps can get into games

so its a you issue?

If a game ends 6-0 for either side, whether it’s the healer or DPS carrying, it’s just bad matchmaking. Like, how is that even fun?

You get 1 point if you do more healing and more DPS than the other healer. :smile:
In one round, I absolutely crushed it: 120 million healing compared to their 40 million—that’s 3x their output. But even with that, my DPS team couldn’t hold up, and we ended up with a 3-3 draw.

So you want to be rewarded…for not winning. Got it. This is why they need to ditch solo shuffle and just make it a 1 game solo queue format. Too many entitled healers thinking they should climb the ranks when they don’t win the lobby, then blame anything and everything but themselves. I dare you to upload a video of your gameplay, let’s see how flawless you were.

Just because you outheal someone doesn’t mean you deserve the win more.

Now state your take on losing mmr for 3;3 where a sub 1000 rating dps went 0:6

Or losing mmr for 4:2 etc lol

I went 4-2 and lost mmr the other day.

I won.

Why am I losing mmr for winning? The opponent was a multi-legend healer on an alt of the same class he plays on his main.

A healer with lower MMR performed just as well as you, so either A) your MMR should stay 0 and/or B) the other healer should then match your MMR.

That’s dumb.

You have quoted me saying that people are entitled for thinking they should climb for NOT winning the lobby, and then you reply by saying you won a lobby and lost MMR. That is a separate issue to the point of the thread, and as you can see above, I agree you shouldn’t lose MMR for winning.

Hope that helps.

Why should the DPS go 4-2?

I’m currently getting a DPS to 1800 rating for the mog and it’s just faceroll compared to a healer. I did it on my resto druid recently and I got 3-3 games due to 0-6 DPS. On my DPS I get a win from the lobby if there’s a 0-6 dps.

It’s ridiculous. Why should they get 4-2 and a win from the lobby when they couldn’t win with the 0-6 dps?

You have a negative win rate at 1800 and a barely even win rate at 2k. Quite frankly, you’re where you’re belong. Loops back to entitlement: you’re not as good as you think you are.

But since reading is hard for you, I will repeat yet again that I agree that healers should not lose MMR for winning a lobby. Do you want me to repeat it for a third time or have you grasped it?

What are you even talking about?

This is your character right? With an 86-93 win rate in shuffle on Disc at 1800 rating? Aka negative win rate?

I don’t play disc except when I’ve farmed honor for alts, lol.

‘I don’t play disc, except when I play it’.

Bright spark.

The point is that it’s not a spec that I usually play, so it’s kind of lolworthy to go “lol negative win rate”. I played it to not impact my holy rating while still farming honor.

Your Holy win rate is also shocking.

Have you played a healer in shuffle?
