I really want to win more games but I’m coming up against better players. How many games do you need to lose to get lower MMR. Currently sitting in Silver 3 had a good deck but now it’s being creamed 70% of the time with just better players.
Would like to play silver 3 players again please 
What’s your star bonus ?
If none then you really are playing silver players.
Thanks yes I don’t have a star bonus so that means I’m playing silver players…wow Hearthstone players got really good lately I used to easily get to gold…
I don’t know how many it takes. I also like to keep my MMR low. It makes achievements a lot easier. I typically will win try to 2, lose 2. If I just have Hearthstone open while doing something else then I’ll lose a ton in a row. I use a shaman deck with lots of burn and spell damage, then point it at my face. I don’t know if early concessions count for MMR or not and would rather not risk it.
It goes down by losing, but devs have said it has a floor so you can’t lower it more than reasonable by spamming concedes. For example, you might nuke your MMR from X to Y by losing/conceding 50 games in a row, but even if you lose 100 after that, you won’t go from Y to Z because the system capped you at Y.
People say I have bad sportsmanship because I purposely stayed in old rank 20 or silver in wild for a very long time to farm wins and achievements.
I’m sure some would call it that, but I wouldn’t. If you’re forcing yourself into low ranks then you’re also giving people free wins by conceding to tank your MMR. Sure, it sucks for those you waffle stomp but is pretty cool for those you roll over for.
Yes, I think Mark with his legend skills is farming all those poor silver players with his overpowered silverback patriarch otk decks as well…
Yeah I faced him before and at some point he auto conceded to me so he’s just farming people.
But I think it’s because he knows ain’t no way he getting his decks to work against real players.
He’s not farming people. His decks are so janky that he loses a lot. Also, if he loses a combo piece for some reason he’ll concede then and there. He’s building YouTube content, not playing competitively.
He’s purposely staying at silver 10, if he never conceded games he would be higher rank regardless of what he plays.
Perhaps. But conceding a bunch isn’t “farming” in my opinion. Farming implies productivity. He’s giving away more wins then he receives.
That’s besides the point.
Imagine if every legend player stated doing that.
You think it’d be healthy because they give away plenty of wins ?
Why not?
So you’re mostly playing casual if I remember correctly, how would you feel if every opponent you faced were top 100 Legend players tryharding with a net deck ?
You think you’d be having a great time ? Pretty sure you’d just quit the game at that point.
I’ve actually switched back to ranked, though I still tank my MMR. Either way, if every legend player were “farming” people by conceding a lot then I’d have to be insanely unlucky to have every player I face be a try-hard legend player.
You cannot tank your MMR down conceding. Only death can help you.
Is that dated somewhere? I kill myself anyway but if I could concede on turn one then I would.
Is this how the have you tried getting good meme was born?
You certainly can, but it takes longer than people expect it to take. It takes several months of intentional losing to truly lower your mmr appreciably.
