Burning Crusade Classic Arena Match Making System

[Flobie-westfall]

I’ve sort of been wondering what that thing is. I’m out of the loop with the latest retail stuff. I figured WoW was just moving toward the furry stuff now and got scared to google it because of what it may show me.

My guess is some WoW arena spamming streamers were raising questions, and we get the answer here.

[Durpmen-faerlina]

Why not just make teams start at 1500 like they’re suppose to?

[Bortami-earthfury]

Because

They don’t care about how fun something will be

They only are looking to better setup ways to monetize it

Thats all they do at blizzard every second because quotas yo.

But then you wouldn’t be playing as much

This doesn’t sound like the way it was in BC…

[Transfatmilk-faerlina]

So to get 2000 rating, i need to intentionally lose 100+ games and then make new arena team with my friend that did the same and every person we get matched will be trash players.

Got it.

[Marburger-dalaran]

Now revert the starting arena rating back to 1500 like it is supposed to be and stop messing with what was a successful expansion.

[Jkhl-faerlina]

If it starts at 0, wont it be harder to get higher ratings now? Apparently even at 1.8 rating now it would take 6months to obtain a full arena set.

I saw “match making” and immediately thought we were getting an LFG finally.

Oh well. Happy to see any kind of community engagement from blizzard tbh. At least were getting more involvement that retail does.

I haven’t seen a single post asking about MMR issues, but alright.

wow, ^^^, just wow man.

[Cauchy-heartseeker]

Maybe if you’re 12.

[Speedred-sargeras (Speedred)]

Those are player created problems.

Over the first few days of ranked Arena play in Burning Crusade Classic, we’ve seen some feedback and inquiries from players that we’d like to answer with a brief explainer.

There are multiple PvP performance ratings used by the game. Every Arena team has a team rating that starts at 0 and increases as the team plays Arena matches together. Additionally, each player who is on a team has a personal rating that is calculated based on the results of the Arena matches they’ve played as a part of their team. If a player leaves a team, their personal rating associated with that team will be reset. If a player joins a team that has already played matches, the player will join with up to 1000 rating points of the team’s current team rating. These values are displayed in the PvP frame, and they are used to determine end-of-season awards and weekly points.

To keep players matching against opponents of similar skill, the game also calculates a matchmaking rating (MMR) for each character. After each match concludes, your MMR is updated to better reflect your skill level, and your team rating and personal rating are updated depending on the match result and the matchmaking calculations. This MMR follows your character from team to team, so when a player leaves a team and joins a new team, they will immediately face similarly skilled opponents, even if that new team starts at a team rating of 0.

Ultimately, the more games you play as part of the same team, the closer your personal rating will get to your MMR.

Literally nobody talking about arena MMR Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

100 Daily post about how awful honor gains with people quitting left and right. Arena is going to be dead pretty soon at this rate.

I’d love a post on the BG queues dilemma Kaivax
