This form of communication is still unacceptable. Something like this should have been communicated weeks ago.
Do you mind me asking you why none of the PVP developers communicated with the community about this until just now? And on top of that, do you mind me asking why none of you have ever explained the process you all use when it comes to MMR. Thousands upon thousands of players on many forums are PLEADING with you guys to explain to us your rationale and reasons behind MMR adjustments (and a lack thereof). The WoW development team promised the player base a more comprehensive line of communication, and yet your PVP community feels ignored when it comes to this issue specifically. I know you wonât answer me. But with any luck you will start to keep the promises of at least answering some of the community about MMR and your process.
Thank you. Is there any system (or planned system) in place to ensure this doesnât keep consistently happening and require fixing every season?
Iâm very, very curious to see if shuffle just catapults upward to s1 df level. Iâd assume it does, if theyâre applying the most inflation there + huge uptick in lower brackets.
I think this change is good and bad. Itâs good because more people play, and more people playing means the game is more fun.
Itâs bad because it sets the precedent that âwhine loudly, and eventually blizzard will fold and make the things you want easier to obtainâ.
But again, brackets being inflated > brackets being deflated.
I really wish this post had an in depth explanation of mmr, how it worked, why some brackets are way higher etc.
You guys seriously excited for 80 mmr injection a week? Smh
Desperation does that, I suppose.
Fr, meanwhile blitz you get +100 mmr every win /loss btw def not inflated on purpose. And the reactions ppl will get next season when they kill it like s2 dflight blitz lol
Okay i was a little harsh. Thank you blizzard for at least communicating with us. Please continue to do so
I think I speak for an absolute majority when I say:
FINALLY!
What took you so long? Please keep more frequently an eye on PvP related stuff.
Itâs time to make MMR more dynamic so that inflation doesnât become a necessity. While Iâm glad youâre going to remedy the immediate issue of low ratings, long term inflation still makes early season pushes pointless and encourages players to sit on rating.
It would be nice if MMR more closely adhered to seasonal rating distributions and consistently placed players correctly at higher ratings. The downside might be that some type of rating decay may become necessary, but it would still be better than players having to wait months to hit past season rankings/ratings.
Agreed. Iâd say this one qualifies as an actual issue though. like there is a point where the complaints are valid.
The whole thing probably needs to be looked at and better designed to maintain consistency across the brackets, and from season to season with varying levels of participation. Idk what that looks like, but i expect blizz to be able to figure that out.
definitely. best to keep people playing. more players makes all of this function better anyway
Would certainly be a nice communication from them that would surprise most of us.
I guess theyâre subbed to Venrukiâs youtube. Much needed and appreciated. I hope you incentivize healers more so queue times in ss are under 10min.
We can start by nerfing them
PRAISE THE LORD
but on the other hand why does it take so long and why does it have to happen in the first place
now to make healing give you a token to skip the line on dps classes
next year weâll necro this thread just like we did with the old one to jebait other people and QQ about another deflated season. Iâm calling it now.
This is absolutely the main issue. Whatever your view on where rating âshould be,â rating being consistent between seasons (and even within an individual season) should be the ultimate goal so people can feel their attempts at improvements at the game are accurately represented and consistent.
but rating is based on participation.
if people donât play, ratings canât get naturally inflated
you canât really know how popular a bracket will be beforehand, so all you have are reactive measures, like the one taken today. artificial inflation
So like 2 mmr a day?
Fantastic news. Thank you for listening!
Good response overall. But like this is not the first time mmr issue plagued the ladder. Maybe learn some lessons and be more pre-emptive with it in future seasons.
