+11 for a win
-18 for a loss
Nobody wants to play. Nobody wants to sit in queue for 30 minutes, have 1 person throw the game for 7 others, 0 punishment implemented, and lose 18. Then sweat like crazy and tryhard for a win and get +11. That’s a horrible system.
We’ve been on this stupid Blitz rating and qeue system for 359 days, that’s 11 months and 25 days.
Everyone has already posted their complaints on threads until they’re tired, and Midnight will continue like this. There’s nothing we can do.
I once had a game start 6v8 and lost 21 rating for it.
I got to 1783 last season - I quit.
As soon as I hit 1300 this season - I have no desire to queue.
I can’t do the queue times. I was in a 35 minute queue last week.
I liked it better when it was unrated… the queues were instant.
Uhhh, it’s bad if you’re high rated because you can only queue at very rough hours.
s1 i got 1500
s2 i got 2500
hmm
Blitz sucks because there’s too much RNG. Shuffle is better for basic rating goals.
The only rated game that reflect your skill by using cr is arena. Not shuffle.
But arena is such a niche part of the game not everyone likes swapping cds and pillar humping. But those that are good at it have high rating and those that aren’t good at it don’t.
Blitz is the most rng thing you could possibly want. I win eight games in a row on opening day and my rating was already 1900 to start so I cruised to 1800+ in opening day. I could have just as easily lost 8 in a row. That’s how rng this game is … but I like fast mounts so I do a little
Hrm. Arena isn’t exactly a perfect measure of skill… at all. It’s partially why I stopped focusing on it. Shadowlands ruined every achievement you can get out of arena and there have been plenty of other seasons where rating was free. Being at the top of any rated content and it doing it consistently I think is a solid measure.
Agree to a point. That’s where simply playing comes in. That’s true of all rated content. Knowing where your limits are at and playing the appropriate amount of time to get there. I do think there is more RNG in both shuffle and blitz that can let players push up higher temporarily, but it’s still the same players each season in every form of rated content that are pushing to the top.
The same holds true for all rated content. MMR does need adjustments.
I lost 83 rating in one match last night.
Joined in and ended up on a teams whos average rating totaled out to 856 while I was 1687 going into it.
Across from us was a team whos average was 1890
I know this does not factor necessarily into the skill of the team but it does suck to be punished so heavily simply for being the highest rated player on your team when they get snowballed.
MMR?
Not possible to lose that much rating.
Yea, they need a take into account each players actual rating when creating the teams. The average CR of each team should be close.
Not necessarily true. High rated blitz players, play the game completely different than the average team
Those games become less random when winning or losing

Shuffle is even more braindead than Blitz. boring RNG combo swapping.
Maybe it’s just my own luck then.
All I wanted at the start of the season was 1600 for the free catalyst charge…but Blitz was wasting my time. So then I switched to Shuffle and got 1600 and 1800 in one shot. Go figure.
just remind yourself that ranked pvp in this game has no rewards unless you are one of the glads. Anything other then that is a generic temporary title, a recolor of a pve set and a participation mount. Maybe I guess grind blitz because at least those titles are permanent but once you hit your goal no reason to ever sit in that 30 minute queue again 
Doesn’t seem dead at all tho. Primetime im getting <10 min queues at 2500mmr. Also aussie times are good. Could be wrong tho.
I agree. The rewards for winning are overshadowed by the punishment for losing. Especially when you can play all day and have all of your accomplishments wiped out after a few losses. They obviously are not playing their own game.
BG blitz, is just a random bg that rewards conquest and has new takes on old maps.
If you view it as anything other than this, you’re likely going to not have fun with it. Which means you’re being a fun sponge to yourself.
They called it solo queue ranked and then did nothing to make it close to that.
