This post will more than likely be ignored and blizzard will almost never give a s**t about this but here is a list of problems with the new role lock.
- Placing accuracy. Plat healers mains are probably not plat dps players. Previous rank is not a good reference.
- Placing issue continued. I’m a diamond tank with some dps picks from time to time. Sitting around 3300s, got 3280 on healer and 2700 on tank and dps. Lawl
- I was on a win streak, the avg mmr of the game keeps climbing up around 3400. Then suddenly in the next game the avg mmr drops to 3000 and I got plat healer mains as dps and lost. Loses over 50 sr. Same thing repeated for four games. Intended balance?
First time and prob last time making a post. Started playing this game since launch and the rank system has always been malicious af. Kind of getting tired of bs like this.(sry about the rant)
its called beta…and a soft reset has these inherent issues…don’t know why anyone thought it was going to magically place them where they expected to be…mmr is a data driven algorithm…the more data it has the better its averaging is. Still its nice to know what we’ve known this whole time…dps mains are incredibly inflexible and tend to 1 trick…and tank population is damn near non-existant.
I expect rampant 1 tricking especially in dps role. Cant have nice things when you have to share with other human beings apparently. I expect smurfing to continue…1 main account they care about and the other 2 role for funsies…some things blizard just cant solve. leavers still a thing.
But positively i expect games to be more interesting/challenging. i expect a major shift in the difficulty of each rank to occur, mainly as players start to focus on their roles. some things have changed…most things will never change…such is life.
Didn’t have much problem with the mmr inaccuracy. Listed it only for the sake of completing a list of known problems. My biggest problem is still with how win/loss in relation to sr increase/decrease.

I placed in bronze with all 3 roles. Slightly lower than I have been ranked every season. Not sure I’ll play comp any more.
yeah reality stings…and if you let it kill you…it will kill you.
