It makes no sense that a player queing RSS with 0 CR has ~1600 MMR, it makes that mmr range a total nightmare. Tons of players are queing as healer on a new alt to grind CR, so very often as a dps in this mmr range you are queing into games where one healer is totally throwing/undergeared/doesn’t have keybinds set up and games go 0/6 for healers and 3/3 for dps and it is a huge slog just trying to get out of this range.

yeah especially when u have no idea its coming.
my very first game on my crap gear DH was 1950 mmr lobby lol.
i had no idea it would do that to me… so i went in with honor gear and no enchants lol. ( i was expecting to fight 1500 players with similar gear as me)
boy was i wrong! everybody had 2 piece tier bonus and 60k hp on me lol. wasnt very fun if i must be honest!
but then again im a trash gamer. im sure everybody on these forums would have 6-0d that lobby EZ CLAPPERZ
honestly i didn’t read

I agree. 1000 MMR (or maybe 1250 MMR) would be a better starting point, especially later in the season.
I think the current system drops new players in the middle of the ladder. This probably helps the system determine the player’s true MMR more quickly. And the overall MMR average for the whole ladder stays in the middle of the bell curve.
If new players start at a lower MMR, I’m guessing it might actually pull down the average of the ladder? There’s probably a way to make the math work out so the ladder’s average doesn’t go down.
Then 1000 MMR players will complain about having to face 1800 exp players or whatever, It doesn’t solve anything.
Get over losing until you settle into your mmr range.
I think we’re discussing how it negatively affects all players when a new toon joins RSS at a higher MMR.
It would probably be a better experience for everyone if a new toon starts at a lower MMR, especially later in the season.

I seriously doubt you’re getting legitimate “new” players on a consistent enough basis that it’s actually an issue.
You think we’re concerned about a rare issue where 0 CR players go 0-6 in our lobbies?
this guy gets it. this guy has more than 2 brain cells.
i can’t even
I think everyone’s mmr should start at 0 in new seasons of shuffle
I don’t think it can be the absolute floor because people need a bit of room to fall.
