How does it work? I decided I’d do some blitz on my holy paladin and the mmr seems all over the place. I won my first 6 matches, and then have won 1 and lost 1 back and forth the last few matches. My mmr is in the mid 1800s, and I’m in these now with brand new dps who have no gear and even less of an idea.
I’ve won 9 of my 13 matches, why is my mmr the same as someone who hasn’t done a single match?
Edit: I then lose 2 consecutive matches, and it plunges my mmr into the 1500’s…great system, I can see why everyone is just quesyncing and running premades.
I get that, but what I don’t understand is why I’m in 1800 games with people with 0 CR? If I’ve had to “work” my way up by running at like a 70% win rate to only get there and have people who have less situational awareness than Helen Keller in there with 0 games played this season.
After seeing so many threads, videos, and all the shady stuff that goes on, and has gone on for years in arena, I’m convinced that the only reason 99% of the players that have super high MMR are queue syncing and win trading.
Thats why you dont understand MMR and are lower rated. Its pretty easy to say cheaters at every loss but understanding why your losing and other people are winning is the real goal you need to achieve
Ye. I’ll try to explain to a friend that’s sort of not that great at pvp things he could or should be doing and it’s always “that’s small and doesn’t matter” but fundamentally all the little things matter the most.
People losing their node twice then going “yeah but our other guy lost his 3 times” isn’t helpful to them in the future and all that.
Or…there has been extensive proof since rated pvp was introduced to this game that huge populations of the top player base have be caught cheating or using clever game mechanics or anythign else to get to the top.
I know why I lose when I lose, my question is why am I in groups with players with 0 cr, at an mmr that has taken x amount of games for me to get to?
Yeah, the patience is tested. Which is why it’s good to try your best to tune out the unavoidable losses because they’re inevitable and honestly sort of…irrelevant? And just focus on tidying up your play and then playing enough so the good play matters.
Yeah, I get all that. But playing more is not the answer if I lose more than I gain when I win.
Game 21- 1836
we win
Game 22- 1928
we lose
Game 23-1809
I gain less than 100 for a win, and lose over 100 on a loss…
We won game 23, so I have to wait to see what my mrr is in game 24, but I’m betting it didn’t jump back up to what it was at the start of game 22.
I started ranking my BM spec and oh boy my starting MMR was 1200… the players you find there move like bots… I think bots are botting the low mmr… it is insane the level of play.
