I really enjoyed losing 17 CR for my second loss of the season on an alt. I guess that is the punishment I get for winning too many games and having a personal MMR much higher than the 1100-1300 MMR games I am being put in. The system is trash.
Just not winning enough. 90% not good enough. 100% not good enough. Need to win 300% of my matches.
After checking earlier, I’m about 75 games deep so far and just a bit over 1700 cr. The mmr of games has slightly started stabilizing around 1800-1900 for me (with roughly 55% win rate), but yeah I’ll still get the occasional match where it’s back down to 1400-1500 mmr.
I am starting to see how you climb though, it’s just going to take a lot of games and maintaining greater than 50% win rate. I definitely lost a good chunk of my games due to things that were in my control, and think that if I won those I would probably be around 2kish.
Bgblitz definitely has a learning curve, especially if you didn’t learn the rules/strats on all of the maps last expansion.
Keep that win rate up though and you’ll eventually start getting tossed into higher mmr lobbies (try not to think too much about the mmr for now).
Yeah it’s just random battlegrounds but with rating basically. How you climb is RNG.
You will be stuck at the bottom (for a period of time) with the casual ques because there’s no reason for them to do normal bgs because easy conquest farming.
Keep putting in games until you’re out of the swamp.
It seems there are multiple barrier zones you have to break through and then your mmr sgarts to skyrocket. I went on like 8-1 and gained 192 per game with no losses first barrier was at like 1400 where i staryed gainin 14 a match and lost -2 per loss. After that mmr not cr, skyrocketed to the point at 1600 I was in 2700mmr games but still only gaining 20.
My guess us theres multiple barrier zones where the system “tests you” if you can win more than you lose. If you can it will increase your mmr and quality of matches (in theory, in reality is all the same trash). If you dont show consistant winning then you are stuck in this hell many describe here in daily basis. Seems weird to me
From what ive seen the hellhole begins when you hit close to 50%wr and then you are stuck in this loop of win a match +20 lose a match -20 win a match +0 lose a match -20.
Basically with how throttled rbg are just don’t think about it. Solo arena is really rng early on and harder on some specs then other ( usually non burst dps as healer skill varies wildly till high mmr). Still it stabilizes.
