The current ladder season of Warcraft III: Reforged will be ending on Sunday, June 18 at 5:00pm PDT for all regions.
All ladder ranks progress will be reset at this time along with the MMR. The fresh Ladder will then be live at this time and players will play their five placement matches again to begin.
Good luck on finishing the season strong and we look forward to fresh ladder climbs next week.
Great. Hopefully the MMR bug gets fixed and the win bug showing as defeat. Lastly if the report system worked better so we can get rid of the cancer TKers who ruin every 4s game would be a nice way to start off a new season.
It seems the Win/Defeat bug only occurs when a player on the other team leaves. But the game continues out 3v4. Or just 1 person stays for a while instead of leaving. The team that wins ends up with the defeat. That almost always happens
Fix the FPS problem, no one gives a Sh1t about your ladder
Well this should cleanse the ladder of some the whackier stuff that happened before some of the bugs got fixed at least lol
I don’t have an FPS problem, and I care more about the ladder than a couple dropped frames out of hundreds per second.
//Everyone deserves to enjoy the game, some pople do care about competitive play, so don’t be a jerkwad and claim no one cares when people do care. being abrasive as all heck isn’t going to get your issue fixed faster.
Short story: I don’t play reforged much anymore. It is just too buggy, to unattended. To quote Jaina Proudmoore: That [game] looks like it was sewn together from different corpses. Referring to an abomination. For the Devs: Jaine is a key figure in the campaign story line of this game. The abomination is one of the undead units, but the word play with it outside of game context suits very well here.
But I drift. The times I do play, I’m quite hammered. Fairly literal. Like Rick Sanchez drunk. Going to be hungover like Sterling Archers. I can go full Charly Sheen mode, boot this game, distract my entire team by being blazing drunk and less than 15 minutes later end like Sheen does:
Winning!
This is no exception. This happens. Systematically. When I can’t see dept with two eyes open as alcohol is quite literally sedating my cognitive senses, we maintain a near 99% winrate.
I hence presented you this thesis with the following conclusions:
(1) There is no actual MMR, there is no match-making. It is about as random confetti thrown in the air and each two closest sprinkles are paired against each other.
(2) There is MMR and match making, and is so beyond terrible in design that prior conclusion is de facto true.
To brighten your day: there are actually zero players in the top 2 divisions. The system simply does not allow anyone to get there. So if you want to further nuance the first conclusion: it is as bad as random thrown confetti, and the confetti is also thrown poorly. If that is not joyful bliss then I don’t know what is.
I salute you Blizzard. Doing no job on this game, reportingly rotating your team members, out-sourcing pretty much everything in this game, and after years we are still trying to re-invent the wheel. Which we had by the way. It was fine.
You literally have no evidence of anything you said in there, but fun read. Doesn’t mean you’re necessairly wrong, but it also doesn’t mean you’re right.
Now there are some specific issues with MMR, which i’ve reported. There were other issues but they did legitimately get fixed.
“outsourcing?” Citatiion needed.
If you can win 99% of the time while trashed, either the friends you’re playing with are doing it for you, or you’re Happy himself.
The evidence is my profile on bnet. Kekw. Currently I’m at 88% overall, 71% in solo and 100% in team games (standing 49 - 0). secondary team with a random included is 18 - 1 (95%).
I’m not Happy. My friends are roughly 1600 ELO on w3c, same as me, which is well beyond demi-god on bnet ladder, despite being totally trash on w3c. Its above average for bnet so we are very likely to be paired against lesser teams, and AT just wrecks RT. Because you’d need to finish high of half school to understand that team synergy is very substantial.
Outsourcing see b2w youtube video about a month ago " Who patches Warcraft3 Reforged? Developers REVEALED!". Literally it is stated it is good news that it is not blizzard working on the game.
Blizzard somehow achieved to give you the mental state that not everything in this game is very broken. I’m quite unsure how they do that. I literally needed various attempts to open my own profile.
Your profile can’t tell me if you’re high or wasted.
Also, bnet allows ATs vs randoms so high win rate in an AT isn’t exactly bragging rights since you have an inherent advantage over non-premades. Probably the thing most of us like least about the current circumstances.
Yes, because a very mediocre player that could barely get 5 - 0 in legacy should be able to get 49 - 0 in reforged -IF- he is not wasted…
And yes, you are exactly right! Bnet allows AT vs randoms! Which is exactly part of my point! Terrible match making, if any!
1v1 works fine. its about the only thing that works more or less exactly as intended.
in 2v2, if you don’t start off with a win streak you’re almost certain to get screwed with the matchmaking as the system tends pick 4 people and pair the strongest two players against the weakest two.
the rest is all a coin flip where if you’re AT it comes up heads 80% of the time. It wouldn’t really be hard to fix it, but they have to see that it’s bad and not simply whiny players whining.
who care new season ?
Your patch made many players unable to play due to FPS issue since 1.36.
Hardly anybody is “unable to play” due to the FPS issue in 1.36, which was fixed for many people in a hotfix, although some still have issues.
I have never seen anyone demonstrate actually unplayable FPS. i.e. like single digits FPS. 60 FPS is playable, even 30FPS is playable. I see people complain that their FPS went down from like 200 to 150 and they’re crying “UNPLAYABLE!” I have never seen anything more ridiculous than this FPS debacle. Some people have been crying UNPLAYABLE! when their FPS hasn’t even dropped below what their monitor can display. it is aboslute insanity. Unless you were already getting bad performance before, this is just PC Gamer Master Race elitism. Diablo II ran at 25 FPS and everyone loved that game, and now we cry UNPLAYABLE!!! when the FPS drops below 200?
it is NOT unplayable. People are just looking a number, noticing it got smaller, and cry bloody mary. Hyperbole will not get any remaining problems fixed faster. Dxdiag.txt files and civilized posts explaining their problems and repro steps will.
i wish I can, but to and idiot called Captainjack, its impossible, He don’t know anything about computer skill and still argue as he knows something
I don’t really care what one thinks of him or his “computer skill”, insults go too far. Stop making them.
it really is sad how so many people here can’t seem to post in a civilized manner. Honestly it seems like a lack of moderation leaving people to think they can just be nasty with no consequences…
I have a BA in computer science, and multiple PC and networking certifications. What exactly did I say that leads you to believe I don’t know anything about computers? I’ve also worked in the games industry on multiple titles for a small studio in level design and QA. I know how the game dev process and QA process work. The latter of which is especially poorly understood by end users.
As far as I’m concerned the fps are good both with the original graphics and with the reforged graphics.
The problem remains the MMR and I would really like someone from the blizzard team to explain how it works, even today yet another slap to my willingness to continue making ranking mode.
If I win against someone of my same level, I earn 15 to 30 points. The last one I lost against a player with 100 mmr points more than me and I lost 64 points…
This thing doesn’t make sense like this 64 points that every now and then comes back in a totally random way doesn’t make sense.
And yet again you keep up with the insults. I should have known. Oh well, at least you’ll be entertaining to watch you get out-logic’d.
WC3 and SC has reforged into Stormgate, Blizzard has died.
Man, I hope you all don’t treat people you disagree with IRL the same way you do here.
