Everyone does. Your ilvl is 215 And youre almost 600 games deep. You sure your rating is still climbing week to week?
The problem with the system really comes down to who you play with. If you consistently are winning 60% of the time, you WILL climb with a friend of equal skill and rating. The reason the current system is punishing noobs isnât their skill, its that they play with random people and no comms and/or will play with a friend who is 200 rating below them. ANY TIME you play with someone who is lower rated than you, if you arenât a god tier player who wins every.single.matchâŚthen you are practically guarunteed to lower your rating. You will need to average a 90% winrate or higher in order to simply maintain or just nudge your rating higher. It is possible, however, to carry someone 10 or so games in a row to a high MMR where you will not lose pointsâthough this is extraordinarily rare. Once you understand the system its not very punishing, but this holds a lot of players back because the system is not well explained, versus TBC or Wrath where you were locked into your arena team, and always played with the same people with few exceptions. The current system essentially requires thisâŚbut its not apparent. Because its not apparent, people will take any partner within a 200 pt radius of their rating and end up auto-losing points. If youâre observing the system and youâre currently hard stuck at 1500-1600âŚim sorry but i dont think youâre anything more than that. You may feel like youâre an excellent player, but the fact of the matter is that you arenât winning matches at or above your MMR. Youâre stagnant because you lose pretty often to people at higher ratings mid-climb. You go on cold streaks and lose 5 games in a row. The system is actually a profiundly good system for ensuring people land at their appropriate CR for their MMR potential. Its only a failure if you do not understand how the system works and you consistently undermine your own success by teaming up with anyone below 25 rating of your own cr. Find a consistent partner that you win more than 65% of the time with, and ONLY play with them if you want to climb. Even playing a few matches and tanking your rating 60 points not only penalizes you but also your partner the next time you play.
Thereâs no such thing as âx ratedâ players. Ratings arenât static difficulties like heroic or mythic.

Not everyone starts at the very same time. You are more likely to find lesser partners later on in the season.
Not true people are playing alts all the time

They have more HP but they arenât running 26% vers. Its laughable when you go up against a pve player with 40k HP and 8% vers. They get destroyed.

It depends when they hit that rating. Later in the season its not difficult to hit 2.1k -2.2k, especially if its post season. They may have been fooled by the timing they chose to play arenas.
So because you say that you think it will apply to everyone? Sure, Iâm convinced you got an answer for everything.
You guys just want to hide behind excuses

I donât get how myself, someone whoâs almost just started pvp this expansion, can hit 1800 in a few weeks of practice and people just tell me âyouâre wrong its super hard to hit 1600.â
Let me sum up the next few excuses from Murrk and some classic alts:
*Convoke
*Carried
*700 Games
*Gear
*feral
*Iâm higher rating than my partner
*(yeah I had to practice a lot)
*I just upgraded all of it since I hit 1800
@Murrk what else you got
Who is âyou guysâ? Lol the superiority complex really runs high with kids today.
All of you blaming your walls on these imaginary barriers
Blaming what? Iâm just giving you perspective, not excuses but you are so focused on trolling you canât see that. Is literally all you do in these forums.

Youâre angry your support group isnât in a safe space
Hunterâs arenât in a good spot due to their kit being predictable and frontloaded, the meta teams stomp on Hunters, facing off against people with a 5-15 ilvl advantage, I donât have a hpally to duo with, and Iâm not a pro. Iâm not 2400 glad but Iâm also not a 1000 scrub, I can tell when thereâs some jank going on in arena.

Ashamed to have given the guy an actual response. Heâs doing the old troll of âThe only variable is skillâ as if a MW, being the same skill as a hpally, will end up at the same rating at the end of the season.

Yeah somewhere around 1500 probably. Thereâs plenty of hunters doing well still, I have lost to my fair share.
Obviously no one believes this, however both of them will be past 1600 if theyâre halfway decent thatâs for sure.
