Battleground blitz is unfair

The rating system is highly unfair. After climbing to 1920 on my mage I can’t win a single game!! I’m always on the losing side and it seems like players are intentionally throwing games!! For the last 3 weeks every game I get into I’m always the highest rated player, so every time I lose I lose the maximum amount of points and when I finally win a game I get like 0 or maybe 5 points. Hence the rating drop from 1920 to 1600!! How is this fair?? I didn’t even que for a whole week just to see if it would change. NOPE Today I qued for the first time in a week at 1600 and someone left a node to throw the game. We actually barely win and I gain zero points because I’m the highest rated player at 1600.

I also noticed some blatant win trading in 1900-2000 bracket. I guess 2k boost is one of the top selling services on some websites. 2000-2100 is much cleaner.

Ain’t nobody trading wins way down there, friendo.

This is because of your losing streak. your MMR is lower than your CR. It’s what is known as “elo hell” and tbh, it would be easier, and probably faster to level a new mage, regear and start over fresh MMR with the higher inflation.

if you’re playing at 1600 MMR now, that’s like the = of 1K MMR at the beginning of the S… it’s going to be brutal… Like I said already, it be faster to make a new character… if it really bothers you, that is.

I swear u gotta earn the 2k bracket I get 3 wins on an alt and its 2300 mmr and i get slammed in greens.

No way people are win trading that low

Win trading is a word people just throw around now to not have to take their part of the responsibility in a loss.

Dont feel bad. Im stick at 1700s on my rogue at the moment because its 3-4 losses into win/loss into 3-5 wins. Basically losing 10pt to gain 15 and when my mmr shoots up to 2.3-2.5k that’s when my loosing streak restarts. Im not talking close losses either. Last 3 consecutive losses were 0-1500, 90s-1500, and a 200s-1500.

ive seen it happen in 1300-1600 ratings so yes it is indeen happening in these lower ratings. You denying that may mark you on the potential wintrader employee’s list for future references.
We have seen quite a few of them like you on these forums. Some among your previous likes are marked in my list

Hmm yes I also am keeping a list of FORUM ALT TROLLS and their ilk. I imagine if we compared, our lists may look quite similar. Their day of reckoning will soon be upon them. They’re doing us a favor by outing themselves in all of these forum threads

You people are nuts if you think nothing is going on.

Please bare with me i haven’t played Blitz in months but hear is my story as simple as i can make it.

Back while Blitz was in ‘test mode’ during DF, I magically won my first 8 or so games, was getting 100+ points a win. Got to like 1780 than magically, again, started losing games. Lost something like 8 in a row.

Anyways my point is…

Won so many in a row
then
Lost so many in a row

Someone with more experience in rated explain to me how that happens please.

Also if you read over the forums this kind of ‘pattern’ has happened to other players as well.

At least in premades you can control your destiny a lot more than solo queues.
AND NO duo is still solo. WoW is not brain surgery. If you cant control 2 players in a group of 8 thats a ‘you’ problem not a ‘duo queue’ problem.
And in premades if you lose to another premade you KNOW you lost to another premade NOT to some magical algorithm that no one knows about (or claim to know about but really has no idea what they are on about).

EDIT before I get slammed i realize that, depending on what other classes / specs etc you and the other team gets randomly allocated by the game, yes 2 players can be hard to deal with in certain situations so i take back the ‘you problem’ comment i made earlier.

Just like solo queue arena I have seen some boosting but just like arena it seems rather rare. A lot of people just assume their rng team mates are sabotaging them on purpose rather then just not being strong players that rnged into higher mmr.

Im genuinely curious and lost at how teams are put together.

Why would a 1800 person be on the same team as a 750 person? Ive seen 1600 players put on the same team as 1k players. But the “average” on both sides even out.

That just seems ridiculous in a pvp environment. It feels like your constantly at the initial grouping phase like in other multiplayer games to see what braket you should be in… 20 games later.

Why is it like this?

Is this the same list someone was saying they were putting together of all the sync queue premade “cheaters” posting on the forums they were going to get banned?

You’ve already gotten one thread deleted, so I guess you’re going for a round 2.
