Rated Solo Shuffle Update

the problem with rating given to the people that stay is that some people were 0-2 or 0-3 with 3-4 rounds to play, u cnanot subtract rating from these players, it would be quite unfair, considering specially on retail, games are often decided by 1-2 pèlayers being extremely strong, or extremely weak, so if u got the weak side and u go 0-2 or 0-3, and then u swap and someone elaves, u were prob gonna win the next 3, and instead u only lost rating, but i agree penalty for leavers needs to be BIG, and even like that, people are not gonna leave and start afk im assuming.

So it seems that the conquest bug where you only recieve 15 rather than 150 per game happens if you go 5/1 or 6/0, went 6/0 and the next 2 games have all just given me 15 conquest for a win, MMR seems the same and unaffected. Logging out for a period of time seems to fix the issue.

Where the rating loss?

Still not able to upgrade my Conquest Gear even though I have 1750 Solo Shuffle Rating. I read somewhere that the issue demanded a server restart, and we’ve had that today, so when will this issue be fixed?

So I can confirm that loot upgrades work after the rest, I had to play 1 game of solo shuffle to enable it.

However, at 1750 I have not yet received the challenger 1 & 2 elite mogs. If this game mode is rated and offers progress to seasonal mount and rated item upgrades, then we should be able to receive both the challenger/duelist/etc achievements AND the transmog. Please hotfix this blizz.

After weekly reset, leavers get 15m desertor for first leave, dont know if increase with more leaves, but they dont get any rating punishment, what makes the prepatch continue beeing boring.

It’s a new week with a reset and Solo Shuffle is still being exploited by leavers.
There is absolutely no new meaningful punishment compared to previous week.

I played 7 games today as a healer;

  • 4 times the losing healer left
  • 1 time a random low gear left
  • 1 time the game ended but nobody lost rating because the losing guy had 0
  • 1 time an honorable losing player lost 50 rating

This is ridiculous and unplayable and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Why not “disable” leaving in Solo shuffle entirely? If someone leaves, the rest of the games play out as if the leaver is afk at the starting room. The leaver is frozen or stunned until the remaining rounds are played. This way the every player gets a turn being on the team with the leaving player and the leaver gets the remaining round counted as a los.

Doing it this way will ensure that the remaining rounds are quick and give the players who didn’t play with the leaver (presumably the worse player) a slight chance to win if they are good enough.

That wouldn’t work. Say, the leaver played 3 games and contributed, and then AFKs for the last 3 games and they’re on your team every time. You’re at a huge disadvantage and the others are at a huge advantage 2v3. It’s not the same for everybody on the team.

in solo for exaple. you are at last round and you win 5 games and the “leaver” is 0 wins for his toxisity he will leave.
Reason the system need adjasments:
the player that did 5 wins will take points and rating. the player did 0 win will lose rating and no points, so he punish the other 5 players that did most wins and the rest player wasting there time with result also not taking points-rating (RATITNG UNCHANGE) so for the ppl is not rewarding.
At least make something feels rewrding for player that stay and biger punishment for leaver.

every game one of the players leaves the match on the 5th round and the game is interrupted - no rating is given!
I won 4 rounds in a row - the player left and no one was given a rating
in almost all games, someone leaves
I spend about 20 minutes on 1 solo shuffle and don’t get a rating - because someone leaves the game

this is a huge problem!

what needs to be done to make solo shuffle the best mode:

  1. fair punishments for those who left - remove a lot of rating + temporary blocking
  2. to other players, if 1 player left the game - give a rating in proportion to the rounds won
  3. fix the upgrade problem

what are the problems now:

  1. many leavers
  2. in case of an interrupted game (someone left the game) - does not count the rating of those who remained - we all waste time due to leavers
  3. It is necessary to count the rating in proportion to the rounds won in order to avoid the problem of leavers

I play a hunter and had before pre patch a rating of 1587. I had been over 1600 and had upgraded my pvp gear for that season to rank 5 (challenger II). Last week I played a few solo rank rounds and got a rating of 1882, and expected to be able to upgrade the gear but could not. Also all the vault pvp options were at unranked. Theres was some post here that things would be fixed after the reset, but I still cant upgrade and all the pvp vault options was still unranked. I won a game this week too (5 wins in 6 rounds) and increased the rating a little to 1937. I can upgrade gear but only to rank 4 which is the level my 2v2 rating is at (1537) (even though i havent played any 2v2 after season ended). Anyone else experiencing this problem?

It is so fun spending 10 minutes in que and every time someone leaves mid game and we get no rating, and no mount % at all and back to que we go. In 3 hours i managed to finish 1 solo shuffle fully. rest of them people left or afked on purpose after losing few rounds. Give mount % and rating according to rounds won and done. Having to win 4 or more rounds for mount % to happen and pray no one leaves is just bad.

I agree, solo shuffle is very rough today :smiley:

When I’m winning convincingly either somebody leaves and I get nothing, or in the end it says “Rating unchanged”. When I’m losing I lose a lot of rating.

The worst part of the whole experience is that the more rounds I win, the more anxious I get that somebody might leave
