Blitz is a participation trophy

The mode is completely random, I can carry the hell out of a game and still lose on my main because you simply have bad team mates. Being FORCED to queue with a healer buddy to even have a chance at climbing on some classes is ridiculous. Not to mention the lopsided unbalanced team compositions in CTF BG’s. If you dont have a MW or a Dracthyr to carry the flag, its almost an instant loss 75% of the time.

This mode is literally just how lucky can you get consecutively, so many players in MMR that have no business being there that were carried by their betters. No matter how good you are, you can’t carry 6 people that have NO IDEA how the BG even WORKS to begin with LOL.

The MMR swings are massive, I was 2070, with 2400 MMR and lost a few games because of people not listening. Next game I’m in a 1650 MMR lobby and now I’ve deranked to 1870 because I cannot carry 7 noobs by myself. I am forced to queue with my healer buddy on my main war to climb and its literally random, there is no skill involved in whether or not you rate up.

i am literally losing mmr when i win

and gaining mmr when i lose

i just dont know

either way im hardstuck 1400 on this toon, despite never bein hardstuck 1400 in my life.

never been stuck here in 2s, 3s, or rbgs or shufflez

but blitz? insanely rough

The best is you are 1800-2000 rated, you get people with 1500 rating… This mode Def needs some improvements

Also allowing q with a healer should not be allowed. It’s not a huge advantage but it can win games

Listen up OP imma solve you problem.
You listenin??

Create your own group and do rated stuff with those you deem worthy.

BAM!! Mic drop
Just solved your issue.

Except hey guess what, it doesn’t because MMR is capped in literally every other PVP mode currently. Also not letting Blizzard know whats wrong with Blitz will leave it in a bad state for ages. Better pick your mic back up and eat it troll, lolol.

I agree with this, its an entirely different issue but I also believe if this mode is going to be random it needs to be COMPLETELY random to maintain more integrity.

I think your DF season 1 participation award has you thinking you are better than you really are. Blitz isn’t random all good players are climbing just fine. If you are stuck at 1600 it’s because that’s where you belong.

Many if not majority of people at high mmr solo que. Go find another excuse


welcome to online pvp.
first time?

im having a harder time getting to 1600 in blitz than ive ever had in my life

ive never struggeld to get 1600 in any other bracket

not 2s, 3s, 5s, rbgs or shuffle

this is insanely hard lol

I just had a EOTS Blitz where the other team all went mid, I capped their base and sat at it until the end of the map… Not once did one person from the other team come and challenge it, they just stayed center and Zug Zuged the entire game trying to get the flag.

There is a HUGE difference between someone who is 1500 with a 85% win rate and less than twenty games played and someone who is 1500 with a 35% win rate and one hundred games played.

Blizzard seems to think these are comparable players.

This is a issue with Placements, they should not allow players with low games swing this much. It should be a set starting point and let people climb this would of worked it self out in time while keeping people who are 1100 MMR down in 1100 MMR instead of sky rocketing past then killing the upper brackets. The other thing is giving people 0-7 rating for winning then knocking them 20 rating for a loss is painful also.

The problem is that Solo shuffle and 2/s 3/s are MMR capped, they need to uncap the MMR so people can get Elite in those brackets and not just Blitz.

All the “bads” got carried, but you didn’t :thinking:.
Players always know that when they lose, it’s not only their fault. Then they forget that somebody that has a bad win/loss ratio may have had people on their team not doing what they were supposed to be doing. You might start to think of them as bad when they might be previous rank1/glad players/ or similar.

IT IS NOT A SERIOUS GAME MODE because its not about you, it is a team objective based pvp mode with random folks with random CR and MMR on both teams, so just relax and have fun. If you’re a chad and wanna prove yourself, do it in twos or threes.

Everything thats scuffed about Blitz makes it casual content and I love it.

If you reach MMR cap, you did it. You won and you are the best, thats the goal right? You have all the prestigious bragging rights if you hit a wall where all the best players are . The highest Blitz folks are way higher than me and I like Blitz, I just dont have much time for gaming. Hit 1908 with very few games played.

If Blitz is a participation trophy for the bads, what is it for the goods???

A.) Full time income and job selling ratings.

Agreed

More of this going on than anyone wants to admit, sadly. That and have literally had healers afk out of games at 2700+MMR simply because their “Buddy is on the other team” too, Lol.
