PvP is dead, uncap shuffle mmr

PVP Arenas

I remember quite a lot people unhappy with that fact, just because of subjective feeling of “having to do that” and quite a boosting meadow, where:

  • PvErs boosted PvPers in M+ and raids,
  • while in return PvPers did alts, tanked MMRs and so on and then accompanied PvErs on low ratings, absolutely demolishing low end ratings ecosystem.

I was ok with this as I am always pro-MMO approach and cliques and gatekeeping, but people who are not networking or in cliques, they had really bad times quite a lot.

you will simply because Blizzard has hungover hank handle the PvP season, which is why you have for example just with this season, an artificial cap on MMR in shuffle and the fact that for an entire week you couldn’t earn vicious mount progress from their brand new PvP game mode

there will absolutely be a season, probably this expansion, where hungover hank forgets to reset MMR and woops lol day 1 everyone is playing at 3k mmr.

No you can’t. Unless your name is whaaz, raiku or chan. Literally 10-15 players got gladiator so far this season and its the top AWC teams.

what was 2.6-2.8 rating last season is 2-2.2k rating now and its impossible to surpass unless you are multi r1 and playing meta comp.

45

they dont care about it,
best thing everyone can do is stop playing

46

I don’t think they will care if people stop playing either. People have “stopped playing” since WOD and they have barely listened to the community, and when they have, it’s been with huge delays.

47

they need to stop making it an " ESPORT "
its a bloody mmo.

less than 1% of the players play awc… heck less than 0.01% of players play AWC

the problem with blizzard once they have your money. they dont care about updating anything

expect an update towards the end of the season when the MAU’s fall off and they want people to subscribe again

  • they would sooner give you a store mount than updates to MMR

Yeah thats why the highest is 2.3, R1 player where happy too get only 2.2 and quit

49

And here we are. I would do anything to play WoD over anything that came after, ironic.

50

Is there a reason why it’s capped?

51

Still don’t get this, why yall trippin over shuffle? Get 1.6k and just wait for it to level out and push after that, did the same, why sweat over it
If it’s the set or cosmetics, just go blitz, hell the token is easier to get in blitz too
There are also regular arenas, but there you really have the pro’s and tryhards

52

believe it or not “just wait a few months to get your rewards in the sub based game that they wont let you climb past 2100 in for zero reason” isn’t very appealing of a solution.

literally the most popular time to play the game is at the start of the season. imagine if they made the raid bosses unkillable (they’d reach 1 health then despawn) for a month or 2 or 3 into the season and no one even knows why and theres zero response from the devs over it.

this is true but again believe it or not people actually like climbing rating in shuffle and arena

the logical theory is they did it to funnel people into blitz

the actual reason is probably that they just havent looked at pvp in 4 weeks

54

imagine bronze/silver players have to play against challenger players in league of legends every time

i can tell u, this game would die in 1-2 Months, because normal players what are the majority of the game have no chance to play the game without getting farmed

no, I don’t know who came up with this, probably some reddit user, but this is not true, and there is no evidence whether it is true or not, but most of the people would start playing other alts, or some continue to play because they can grind and see a progress

for example m+, why do people play m+ even if they got Keystonemaster and wont see the r1 title? because they can still make a noticeable progress towards the season

imagine u have to wait as an m+ player until 2 seasons before season end to push keys

so this is nothing else than whiteknight blizz for being lazy, nothing else, there is no reason behind why mmr is capped, except to promote rbg blitz, or because they dont care and are doing nothing.

They made a mmr change/nerf in the end or start of Shadowlands season 3/4 because the reason was " they don’t want so many people to get big rewards like in ssn2"

so that was all on purpose, so that fewer people get the rewards to keep them “prestigous”

guess what, they killed the participation in the game, players left cuz they cant hit the goal anymore

from a business perspective, an unnecessary action, do you think Blizzard will learn from it? no, because it’s pure arrogance, the shareholders see that many players are quiting now, they want to stay in + they go to Blizz and telling them “eh, u guys make -” “oh yo we release a new wow mount, the pve/pet farmer slaves will keep buying it”

shareholders - “ez gg wp”

i mean 1 single shop mount, made more money then star craft, so yeah they dont care about us, they dont even know that we exist i think.

if they kill Pvp completely, they can also save money, because they dont need 1-2 guys anymore what are doing the PvP balance

people love to climb in every game, imagine u play league of legends for 5 years and cant make it out of bronze, some do but the majority Dont, otherwise it would be time waste

and if people realize they wasting their time in an online game, because they cant make any progress, and it is easier to make a progress in reallife, they wont continue to grind, or playing other games where it is easier to get the dopamine level

i think blizz knows that, but they simple dont care, the Devs are busy playing candy crush on a mobile phone

because not enough people que at 2.3 to get higher, doesnt make sense to you or?

56

Why do not enough people queue at 2.3 to get higher?

57

because pvp is dead?

58

Why is it dead?

59

because the game is a pve m+ fiesta with barely any burst or setup? but this is just one of hundreds of reasons

My man, what are you even talking about.

People are dying before you have a global ready again, from 60-70%.
