Rated BG rating progression

PVP Battlegrounds
1

I start doing rbgs and i climb super fast up until 1500 rating. I win almost 200 points per win at the start, after 1000 i am winning 170 and then 90 + and then, as soon as o get to around 1500 i am now winning 6 to 12 points a win. Points i immediately lose when i lose 1 game.

Why is the rating progression system so punishing at such low ratings?? I can’t get into teams above 1600 cr because they won’t have me.

Unlile arenas it takes you anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour to make 1 game (berween setting a group and playing the game) and if you lose the group falls apart and you start all over again.

I have been doing rbgs all week, playing several hours a day and i am exactly where i started.

Could Blizzard make it easier to climb? I would understand gaining 10 points a game when you get closer to 2000 rating but at 1500cr…really??

It seems realy punishing.

Thank you for your reply.

Doesn’t change the point i wanted to make. ~10 points a win at 1500 rating seems really low imo when it takes so long for games.

i dont do much pvp but dont u not lose points until like 1.4? its basicaly free rate up to 1.4 and u want more free rate? if u wanna climb u should get more wins than loses.

there are check points for a reason 1.6 /1.8 /2.1 /2.4 etc seems like u aint 1.6 material

But the more you win, the higher the gains.
Your MMR will shoot up and you have the chance to prove yourself against a higher CR team, without losing much rating if you can’t beat them.

You dont gain anything since you win 50% at 1500 MMR.

So you are at the rating where you belong…

It’s not easy when i am constantly pugging, i get a good team with voice and we win a few but then the next play session i get less good teams and i lose all progress.

The server i am in is dead for english speaking players so i am looking for a guild to transfer and get into a decent stable team, i am sure i will do better then.

The vast majority of players sit around my rating so i don’t think this is just a problem with me but hey, maybe you guys are right and i am where i deserve. But rating in this game if not always a great indicator of skill, i know warriors who can’t spell reflect and rogues that can’t step kick of focus blind/stun and still are way higher rating than me.

If i get a guild and a team time will tell if you are right or not.

Unless ppl got boosted in most cases it is.

I never got stuck 1500 in RBGs despite pugging 90% of my games.

My disc is probs my worst character pvp wise. I barely got to 1800 on it in arena but still playing at 2500 MMR in RBGs while pugging.

What will help you is:

  • Switch to moonkin for RBGs.
  • Get your rating up in arena
  • Get some better gear. I feel undergeared at 212 ilvl with the same versat % as you. At 2000 MMR all players will have 220+ ilvl.

I appreciate the tips.

But to get better gear i am pushing for the 1600 rating so i can upgrade all my gear.

I realy don’t like playing boomkin, the convoke gimmick is not realy my thing as balance. I lile feral and resto so yeah i am low on luck.

I might just re-roll class if i can’t get this to work and give up on my druid all together.

Cheers.

Play feral, feral isnt as Garbo as resto, and most teams will take feral druids, feral isn’t top dps for Druid but, still has potentcy of fillling in as a rogue.
