Why would anyone bother participating in this mess?

apparently its what the players wanted – then again everything in this game is wished for with the monkeys paw so im not sure why people thought it would be anything but what it is now.

Other healer is over 200 MMR lower than you, and that’s what you’re getting compared to.
Who cares? Don’t put anyone in these types of lobby if you’re not going to gain anything from going 5-1 ffs.
I agree with your sentiment. With healers as scarce as they are none of them should ever be put into an uneven lobby. Games should be formed by pairing equivalent healers up first, and then filling it with DPS. I’m just saying that the rating system is working as intended in the screenshot.
I can’t wait until someone comes in here starts telling me about MMR and how it matters.
BLIZZARD DO NOT QUEUE ME INTO PEOPLE SUCH LOW RATING I NEED TO WIN A MIRACLE TO BREAK EVEN.
I can just sit in queue longer.
Thanks

idk man, im not sure waiting is the answer when we’ve all seen those 45m+ pops just to get into a complete mongo lobby.
this entire system needs to be completely redesigned to make it functional and more importantly fun because right now its neither.
I thought it tried to match mmrs. Were you coming off of a losing streak with this?
More than the mmr of the other healer, I think the issue is that your mmr is lower than your CR, and very similar to the avg of the lobby, so there’s the chance your mmr increased so you can get better lobbys in the future. I’ve no clue if that is normal or not, though, or why your mmr value is lower than your rating. It happens in other mmr games too, where people are trapped in certain elo because of the difference between points and matchmaking value.
this is what i dont get, if you had an unlucky round they lower your mmr so even if you win your points barely increase, especially if it was a lobby of mongo walking their way up to their 2k+ landing zone. its a flawed system at BEST.
Downtrending match performance.
The whole situation isn’t ideal, and the game could do a better job of explaining what’s going on, and maybe games shouldn’t swing people up or down as much as they do, but the matches serve their purpose in “fixing” mmr.
Lose a bunch, get put in game you’re expected to win, smash it, gain no cr but recuperate mmr, go on to go even or positive and continue climbing, etc.
i get what its trying to accomplish but the imbalance of classes+specs and the wait time are making the experience pretty salty, if i just started playing wow in DF i would have already threw in the towel, its just not a good system.

It’s good for not being balanced around, I think. As good as one can hope dumping 38 specs into a bag and shaking it up a bunch, anyways. 
The format or something like it is appealing, so maybe we’ll see such a system expanded to other forms of content.
Last round I went 3-3, so I don’t think my MMR tanked in some way.
Regardless, this is a HORRIBLE system. I have to beat the other player 6-0 to gain rating? I don’t know if blizzard realizes how hard that actually is for some of us.
I’m not a professional. Winning 5-1 for me is a huge accomplishment, which yielded ZERO reward.
If I would’ve lost 2-4 to this player I would’ve gotten dumpstered.
The question I have is…you are in a game with 5 other players.
WHY is your rating only against THE OTHER HEALER?!
I hate the intern that made this system.
Having done lots of shuffles, the real enemy are your teammates, not the other healer

Because healers and DPS are separate queue slots.
