Hello, good afternoon PvP community. There’s some strange behavior with my characters’ rating.
On my paladin, currently with around 1550 rating, when I lose, I drop around 9 rating. In general, I gain about 11 rating. The highest rating it reached was approximately 1630.
However, on my demon hunter, who is at around 1705, I’ve lost three times, and the rating remains unchanged.
Can someone explain this nonsense? This is discouraging (in the case of the paladin). Blizzard needs to rework this rating system.

Your MMR affects you losing and not losing points, not what your CR is. The problem is you can’t see your own personal MMR right now. That will change come Tuesday.

Your CR changes depending on your hidden MMR, your team’s MMR, and your opponents’ MMR.
Hopefully, it will be less confusing after MMRs are revealed in a future patch.
Be prepared to see games where the person with the highest MMR is doomed to lose rating or gain very little.

So there are two rating system? And the second that f**** us is hidden? Why this omg.
There is only 1, it’s literally worked like this since TBC. MMR is the system that tries to figure out and fairly match you against others and figure out where on the ranking you should be. CR is just literally only what your rating is at the moment.

Its pretty much been answered already. CR is like your current score, literally means current rating and is what you have towards your goal, some kind of cosmetic reward or title that unlocks or is granted at a specific current rating.
MMR is separate from CR but they interact. If you mostly win, your personal MMR goes up and you should be matched with and against players who have had semi-similar success. If you mostly lose your personal MMR goes down you play with and against players that have had semi-similar losses. The problem I find, if your personal MMR is higher than the enemy teams Average MMR, and then you lose, you lose more CR than if your personal MMR was lower than enemy team Average MMR. Even if you win a game Vs a team with lower Average MMR than you, you gain very little CR. If you win Vs a team with much higher Average MMR than your personal MMR Gain lots of CR, comparatively.
It is a convoluted system that sounds “fair enough” and I’ve been luckly enough to have great success with it, but I’d rather a win = 20Cr and a loss take away 10 always, so you always gain CR until you lose more than you win. When your personal rating gains feel like they are stagnating you’ll need to focus on improving personal gameplay or accepting you’ve pushed to where your skill is and peaked so to speak. Right now large rating swings up or down are left up to the behind the scene math and most people dont understand when they win a match and gain 0 rating.
its all about MMR
if your CR is lower than your MMR by a large margin, than you wont lose points for a loss.
