Solo rating reward!

no you dont

Yes, you do. You really do lack a fundamental lack of understanding of the rating system. It’s exactly as I’ve described.

@Bewarê-frostmane

The MMR you’re facing changes from round to round, keep that in mind. Also, when you end with Rating unchanged after a shuffle, it means you won exactly as much rating as you lost from those 3 wins and 3 losses, or 4 wins and 2 losses, or whatever. It all depends on the MMRs of people in the shuffle.

Or if you want a more “official” source (although it’s not like they explain much since they are keeping it intentionally vague):

How is rating calculated for each match?

During the Dragonflight Beta, we received feedback on wanting to better understand how rating is calculated. There’s a lot of math and calculation that goes on in the back end, but effectively the Solo Shuffle match is calculating 6 matches of arena into one.

When a player enters a match, we determine the expected performance of players in the match based on player matchmaking rating (MMR). We take all the rounds into account, considering who was on each side and who won, so it matters which specific rounds the player wins, and not just the total number of rounds won, in calculating impact on MMR.

We are discussing ways to improve the transparency of how ratings-change calculations can occur. Compared to the live game, Beta realms have a relatively low population, and consequently a much wider spread of ratings and matchmaking values in each match. We expect matches on live realms to include players with ratings and matchmaking values that are closer together.

^ What that means, is exactly what I’ve told you already. They’re just using simpler language without as much details in order to make it easier to understand for the masses.
