That kind of paints an inaccurate description of the situation. Only the best of those “brand new players” will remain at 1800 (or climb beyond it)…and those are likely to be somewhat decently geared alts of more veteran players. Many of those starting at 1800 mmr will fall quite a bit, before climbing back up…if they climb back up to that rating at all.
You’re not going to be playing soley “brand new players”.
Awc players/multi r1s are currently minimum 2.5kcr
Some are for sure, though in my opinion that still low for this late into a season. But I assure you, there’s plenty to be found at 2.3k.
Not from my my experience the past few days .
2.2-2.4 is the ragnaros bm hunter reroll bracket.
I agree with you though. Blizzard should add way more inflation.
2300 is just about where the current cutoff for the old school gladiator title (top .5%) is in 3s right now. That is pretty damn low compared to what it historically is and was.
week 8-10: “I’m sick of playing against multir1s and AWC champions at 2300”
Yeah and these players are regularly at 3k+ when MMR is healthy so it’s in a bad state if they are 600 under par. What’s so complicated about that?
The swingy inconsistent MMR, especially during the low peaks feels like dogdoo. We deserve better.
Okay but their fix to the swing thing would be to make sure seasons like unchained and draconic don’t happen and it just always feels like this
Well, I mean it’s all in the eye of the beholder. You’re literally within the top .01% of the best players in the country so I imagine, 2.2k-2.4k does “feel” that way to you.
dont forget furry warorris
I get elite every season and couldn’t care less who gets it. Elite isn’t even elite, it’s reroll to whatever is broken.
Okay but their fix to the swing thing would be to make sure seasons like unchained and draconic don’t happen and it just always feels like this
Surely there is nuance in between peaks and valleys. And we are in a bad valley which feels worse than a big peak.
Nah when you get a bm hunter on ur team that’s 2350mmr and only lands 1 freezing trap in a 3 minute round when nobody is attacking him the whole game then it becomes less of a feeling and more of a fact.
I’m gonna keep it a buck …
The amount of people fighting R1’s and their alts @ X mmr is mathematically impossible.
There’s reports of these R1’s at all mmr, all day, non stop, everyone is playing against and getting farmed. For this to be a true, R1 rating would have to encompass anyone above Rival and that’s being generous.
Anyone else hate this saying?
I guess you’re just not good at math then. Consider that this mmr system has driven off all but the most hardcore players, meaning the remaining pool has a higher percentage of R1’s. I literally went up against Petkick 10 minutes ago (check is stream) at 2100cr… He of course went 6-0 and every other dps lost rating. What a rewarding system!
Its plenty inflated rn. 50%wr will take you to 1700 easy
