Some accountability from blizzard wouldn't be bad

[Síck-earthshaker]

I do not understand why Blizzard would simply slamp a Battleground mode like that and leave it to dice rolls for you to get rating.

1. How is it normal to have 20-25 placement matches to get placed on certain MMR
2. How is it logical to allow players of way increased MMR to play with low tier people (I had people with 1900CR playing in 1400 lobby
3. How is it possible doing 6-0 in the first ever games and still getting in 1300 lobbies
4. How is it possible Blizzard to allow people to sync queue and play coordinated while the rest of us are like headless chickens (no this is not a conspiracy theory, there are websties that you pay and they tell you to join their discord channel so you can do that) 5) Is it normal to allow people to DUO queue in a solo BG environment? Because they queued with a healer? Does this sound normal. Its called SOLO battleground blitz not DUO. It’s in the damn name.
5. Maybe NOT punish people that actually do objectives? Maybe have them lose 10cr less than the rest if they lose? Maybe reward and incentivize people to actually play the damn game instead of going AFK and waiting to lose?
6. Maybe not punish people with -200 CR o -150 CR if they DC and allow them some freaking time to reconnect? Just a thought. How exactly do you incentivize someone that got a DC because your game decided to crush or his internet decided to crush for no reason and punish that person that had NO control over the situation so harshly? Maybe allow some time for recconecting in a 2-3 minute window frame. A lost round in solo shuffle or a late start in solo Blitz is better than -200 rating.

I have a feeling that Blizzard is trying to re-invent the wheel here. So many other games before you have succeded in creating a competitive fair queue system, maybe take an example from them? It feels so freaking random. People that do the objectives are not rewarded at all, they get all dragged down by the anchor that are the rest of the party playing and get punished because of other people’s mistakes/failure to actually do the bare minimum. Why do i need to get punished and lose MMR when I am dragged down by other 5-6-7 people that do not want to play along? I am not the best player but I had 2200 Solo Shuffle last expansions almsost all seasons and around 2k in Rated arenas, I can barely get past 1600 now its insane. Either I am THAT bad or the design of the game is THAT bad.

You have a TON of posts in the forum thread that have THE SAME issues and nothing is done since day 1 of Blitz, what the hell are you waiting for? Is the Rated PVP team so poorly understuffed or underbrained that they cannot sit down and come up with an actual system that actually works? Is it so hard to actually HIRE Multi Rank1 players and ask for feedback and ideas on how to improve the game since i doubt any of you there are Multi Rank 1s. Just a thought.

Placement games are common in games with ranked modes and they make loads of sense.
Someone having 3 lucky or unlucky games isnt a good indicator of where their mmr should be. Idk if its 25 games but rhat seems high. 10-15 sounds more reasonable to me.
they should just be transparent about it.

This is how any elo system works. Team mmr is averaged within some limits, you gain/lose less rating accordingly.

@Síck-earthshaker

Placement games as you said, beyond those mmr difference will decide gain/loss

@Síck-earthshaker

Im sure it happens but it isnt nearly as common as people seems to think.
With that said, blizzard can and should take steps to prevent it. Not showing how many people have accepted, staggering queue pops, shorter window to accept queue ect.

@Síck-earthshaker

Maybe NOT punish people that actually do objectives

Absolutely agree.
There should be a system in place that recognizes who is playing objective and who is constantly playing TDM on the roads. The TDM apes should lose more rating and people that actually contribute should have a bit of an easier time climbing.

Maybe not punish people with -200 CR o -150 CR if they DC and allow them some freaking time to reconnect?

A short grace period makes sense for blitz (not for arenas tho).
However, repeat offenders should start losing more than 200. Ideally this penalty would reset monthly or bi-weekly.

Bad idea and very prone to abuse. Also, “the objective” in bg’s can vary wildly from moment to moment. A dk gripping a disc away to narnia is doing great objectively, but would not be seen as “doing the objective”
