My first rogue went on a bad losing streak and got stuck in the MMR bug to where I can’t climb rating past 1400 now no matter how hard I’ve tried. I’ve put in tickets but just get generic responses
At this point I’m just shelving the main rogue and leveling up this 2nd one in hopes it doesn’t bug out around 1400 too 
This shouldn’t be the only workaround, Blizz needs to get there stuff together and fix the MMR and rating issues
If you don’t level at least five more you may be stuck at 1300 forever.
Give them all the same name and have alt code characters in them too.
True hardcore PvP
You lose once, you gotta start over
It isn’t mandatory for PVP players anymore because our sockets and gear aren’t from vault rewards. If you’re referring to rating climb, I think that’s just luck farming, but back when vault had rewards that could get you ahead and complete your 4set before anyone else, that was a real thing. You still see something like that, for those that killed Queen on heroic for a pvp tier item.
No, there’s a bug where if you lose a lot in a row then it’s really hard to climb. I went like 3-14 in my main rogue and now I’m bugged and can’t climb without winning like 5 matches straight. So basically I have to make a new rogue
Oh, well, that’s awful. I hope that you’re able to repair your raiting and that they fix this before end of season.
This happened to me recently, and I even made a thread about it. I won 6 games in a row with no rating change but on my 7th win, I finally got 7 rating which reset the streak. So now I’m back to gain/loss. You could make a second character but imo the time it takes to level and gear and grind the honor/conq/tokens/ craft again would take longer than just queuing.
Your MMR being in a black hole isn’t a bug, it’s literally a feature.
Losing that many games in a row it assumes you need to be facing the worst players to stand a chance. Winning that many in a row would put you at 2300+ MMR.
I went from 2400 MMR after my placement games ended, straight into a losing streak that dropped me to 1400 MMR. Just tremendously bad lobbies where our team stood very little chance even if we were better players (though likely we weren’t). You know the type, full melee CTF lobby with 2 Hpriest healers facing full ranged with a MW/Prevoker. I got so many of those in a row.
Eventually after enough lobbies it evened out, got some win streaks, climbed back over 2k MMR. Got 1800 for the elite tmog and shelved it.
You obviously know the solution. Just win.
Focus on doing what Rogue is most broken at. Take/keep nodes, kill EFC or stop them from even reaching the flag.
OP you are right, I made alts, on an alt warlock right now… And ma Main DK I aways break 1800 with is on ice, not touching it till end of the season if need be ratings wise.
You are soo right, I would put any push toon on ice, keep away from rated content you wanna push in.
This is not the players fault exactly, Blizzard created this mess through their actions, and made worse by their refusal to address the problems.
Also OP, I wander how many mains have bricked their MMR already??? Maybe Blizzard did this by design, more toons you level the more money they make in a sense, time played, more need to buy wow tokens cause everything is soo expensive, maybe Blizz store character boost…
Ignoring the bug, even if this was the case it’s still nearly impossible with all the boosters and party syncers gatekeeping the bracket
That’s not a bug, you need to win streak to climb
How does a new character avoid “boosters and party syncers”?
True OP, even more a reason to put your main on ice…
I feel like this has happened before, during MOP I did RBGs and Wpvp only because arena was super sweaty back then it seemed.
Truth is I am trying to adjust to the NEW wow, where whales and RMT rules the game… I mean even if they buy their Glad Mount, when a crafty rogues catches them our in the world, call 1800 Rotor Rooter lol.
Arena is dead, Blitz is the future whether you like it or not. If you want rating/rewards focus on that. If you’re playing for the fun of it, rating is irrelevant.
Or wait until Blizzard injects free MMR into arenas late in season then play for a free 1800+.
Some truth to what you said for sure. I Blame Blizzard for most of this debockle, because for players to not enjoy content until the end of a season, thats BAD GAME DESIGN for sure.
Only reason my second toon is mandatory is so I can get a CQ weapon for the spec.
