Just curious, does anyone have a rough estimate of what is “average” for an MMR score versus what is “good”. I started in closed beta, had no clue what I was doing, and quickly dropped to 3000. As I’ve learned the game, I have clawed my way back to slightly above 4000.
I’m assuming that, since 4000 is the starting point, that would be average. I know I’ve heard of streamers and pros sitting in the 6000 range.
note This is NOT a “you suck… I’m better than you” post. I would just like a guideline to set goals for myself. Much like, when I first started playing ranked, Blizzard posted that 75% of the player pool was below rank 15. That allowed me, in the early days, to set the goal of getting to 15 every month.
you start at 4k and need 7k ish to be on the leaderboards = average mmr at 5500?
so good mmr would be above that, i’m around 5500 and everyone (me included) still makes lots of mistakes and still have a lot to learn
i find it hard to believe since you can easily reach rank 5 by just doing dailies (and legend but it’s rarer)
At the end of the month it used to say what percentage of the player base you finished the month at. 15 was top 25%. I know it’s hard to believe, but the truth… at least back in the early days (this was before ranked floors).
I dont think battlegrounds rating is really a competitive rating to be taken seriously until they add more cards to the mode.
Right now it is limited in possibilities and who gains the best cards quicker will be the winner.
Just look at the difference in ranking points in the top 10:

HOW DO YOU RANK UP IN HEARTHSTONE BATTLEGROUNDS?
According to a blog post from Blizzard, its matchmaking system is pretty straightforward. You can see your MMR going into a match and it will only change after the match ends. The amount of points you gain or lose depends on where you place when you’re knocked out, as well as the skill rankings of your opponents. The general rule of thumb is that landing in the top four will reward you with MMR gain, while the bottom four will lose you MMR – the higher or lower you are, the more or less points you gain.
However, this MMR gain or loss depends on who you’re up against. So, if you’re MMR is much higher than that of your opponents and you win, you’ll walk away from the tavern with fewer points than if you had beaten equal opponents. This can lead to situations where you place fourth but still lose MMR, as you have lost against players the matchmaking system expects you to beat.
HEARTHSTONE BATTLEGROUNDS MATCHMAKING UPDATE
Blizzard has not expanded on this so far, but the studio has announced some tweaks to MMR figures. Here’s what Blizzard says:
“We’ve made adjustments to the number of points given for first place. In the original system, you got 240 points for a first place on your first game, and 24 pts for a first place on your 150th (or later) game. Now, you will get 190 pts for a first place on your first game and 95 pts for a first place on your 150th (or later) game.”
So far that’s everything we know about the MMR system in Hearthstone Battlegrounds, but Blizzard says there are more updates coming soon for stats, so hopefully this will be clearer in the future.
