I really really need some input on HOW this ridiculous mmr is working… On Tueday reset I was 1896 in Blitz and 25-12 overall. Come Tuesday reset and Area-52 crashes and I go from 1896 to 1654 just from disconnecting and blizzard has not responded to any ticket or announced any fixes for it “happened to a lot of people” on top of that I am 10-23 this week and have topped EVERY BG in damage and objectives except ONCE!! in 33 GAMESSS??? But this is the best part! I lost literally 11 out of 12 games and dropped about 80 pts to 1570 and then won 4 games in a row and got ZERO rating?? I am so dumbfounded and confused and annoyed that I had to write a ranting post about it. 20 years I have played wow and have NEVER seen this kinda of imbalance/bugs ever in wow…
Blame the people who pull out their internet cable instead of losing, for Blizzards heavy handed dissuasion stick.
While this is indeed unfortunate, I am fairly certain this just affects your CR and not your MMR.
What can absolutely affect your MMR that people don’t seem to be taking into account is time a day. If you are queuing off peak at a decently high MMR, you just might find yourself in a lowbie game that runs the risk of an MMR nose dive if you lose a few of those.
This is exactly what I’ve been telling my buddies. This is 100% a major factor.
It could have been changed, and the post I had bookmarked in the beta forum doesn’t work anymore…
But I am pretty sure they added the -200 MMM hit because they saw players willing to take the CR hit, because they’d get good CR for wins, because MMR and CR were further apart.
This pushes both down, making it harder to come back from.
Tbh I think the quest for honor earned in rated BG’s or blitz this week has drawn in a lot of players which is essentially good for the PvP community but bad rn as matches seem to be all over the place.
Yes but wow is it frustrating to deal with, my CR and MMR have straight up tankkkked. I can’t win a game no matter what I do. I was a 1896 and pushing and have lost so many games in two days my rating is 1576 atm… I am now 13-29 on the week and losing 12/14 a game and gaining 0 per win just makes me ask why? Why am I even fricking bothering? I had a 8 orb game in Kotmogu next 4 players had 1 all game. People should have to play and win a certain amount of games in normal BGs before being eligible imo.
Blitz is definitely a wild game mode, I lost 3 games in a row yesterday but was able to win 11 in a row today, Blitz just seems like that game mode where u gotta keep grinding till you get lucky ig, in the coming keeps hopefully inflation hits and it’s easier to climb
My advice is the same as always: Don’t play for rating, it will only frustrate you.
I hope that happened to me, would enjoy some easier games.
I’m just glad I got the 1600 I wanted for the token right off the bat. Because it’s been a miserable experience ever since.
Yea i dunno whats going on I was climbing pretty ez and at about 1750 to 1875 my MMR games were 2400-2500 and winning… now I get nothing but 1500 mmr games and lose 14 rating each loss and gain 0 or even 1 rating per win. It’s not worth it until its fixed. I finally won 4 in a row for the first time this week and gained a whole 1 rating overall. LITERALLY no point of doing blitz atm…
I’m constantly getting amazed at the ability of some teams to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory… what a crappy game mode…
This is the way.
I’ve seen this so many times, it can’t just be all from lack of skill and ignorance, can it? That would be epic amount of it. 600pt leads all of sudden no one can hold a flag or even do anything accept wander around dying.
We were winning EotS just now on my MM Hunter, held 2 bases and the flag, 900 (!) point lead, something like 1300 x 400.
FC caps for no reason, team flocks to mid, lose both bases, lose the game…
Unbelievable.
Sounds like we were in the same game…lol. But seriously, then you call them out for the mechanics, and they are like " My damage is so good, yours is so bad…hur dur" and then I think that I’m dealing with a mentally slow person, and I don’t know what to say honestly, cause wth does your damage have to do with you not attacking the right base, flag carrier or whatever… tell me. Then they say the same thing. It like talking to animated mud.
IME it is overconfidence, It is easier to make a comeback on most of these maps and some haven’t caught up to that.
You get a nice comfy lead in UBG and you can can relax and pad usually wait for the win.
Can’t do that in RBGB.
I won a game last week down 1300-200 in eots came back and 2 capped them and spun the bases till we won, everyone was so happy and you know the other team was beyond livid lol. But like I said no more Blitz or Solo shuffle for me till they fix the MMR bs in Blitz and nerf DKs. =]
How do you know the other team was livid?
Maybe they were just giggling and laughing as it happened.
