Sitting around 2250 in 3s for 3 nights. Every game I played is a recent R1 from shadowland. Very hard queues, same old enemy team every time, roughly 5 teams. Stopped the queue after 30 minutes since it’s too hard.
Switched to my alt around 1800, and still every team is soooo good. Damage is insane, good setups, defensive cds line up so quick. Feeling fraustrated and stopped queue with my friends again.
Queued solo shuffle and walked out with 6-0 in 2500 lobby and get 2550 with just PVE healing. Feels good man! Now I can understand why people love solo shuffle.

Better than me bro I been sitting at 2k for a week or so in 3s. And yeah on my alt rogue at 1800 queues feel the same.
Feels like 1800-2200 is the same skill level slugging it out and it’s a matter of having a good night or getting some favorable comps. There is starting to be a little more variety at the lower end but I imagine where you’re at it’s tapering off. I bet in a few weeks you’ll get some better queue sessions at that rating.
Sounds like your rank will be more meaningful.
Isn’t that a good thing?
In RSS they say your fist games are your MMR placement games, how many exactly? I was reading about it and did not see an exact number of games.

It’s doable brother, keep pushing!
Hopefully my friend, most of the time, I have been queuing a lot with some other friends stucking from 1600 - 1800. I have to say, all of them are glad at some point of the game in shadowland, but still suffer so much even around 1600.
I think it’s 3. From my experience having done solo on 3 different rogues and queuing sub/assa on 2 of them, after 3 shuffles, my mmr slowed an lot unless I went above 3-3.

Not really, I don’t really enjoy the game playing against R1s. They are putting way more time and effort in this game and I am just farmed by them.
I just want my dragon and move on to my alt druid, evoked, or monk and have fun meanwhile help some of my old friends to get their dragon if possible.

Could just chill and play alts for another month or two.
Yeah I got glad in SL s2/s3 but I don’t really think much of it, I know I’ve gotten better as a player but no where near consistent enough to get glad every season or even every other season.
I honestly wish I didn’t want to do more 3s pushing this season because of the deflation, and not because I want an easier climb, but because I have this massive fear I’ll hit like 2390 and not get glad, or even worse be able to crack 2.4 but not farm the wins in time 
Damage is way too high for organized PvP. Almost 2k in solo shuffle on my monk but 1600 in rated 3’s and I get obliterated in a global and can hardly play the game.
First couple of games is around 1800 in RSS, and base on your win/loss in your matches, you could move to higher or lower MMR

keep playing until you lose enough rating to face people of your skill level. you’re not meant to be 2200 with such a small player base if you’re not good.
shuffle has WAY more players so your rating will be higher.
They need to change this, should be promoting play, artificial inflation just promotes inactivity.

you’re capable of playing that close to gladiator at this deflation stage and “pvping” with engagement that shallow feels good?
this seems like something of a self report
It’s because it’s not the same FOTM reroll comp again and again and again like in 2s 3s.
And also no voice.
There aren’t enough people qing 3v3 or 2v2 right now
2v2 is worse. You’ll que into the same team three times in a row before you get a new one.
RSS is just a meme. Terrible that its the only active game mode

rly don’t understand this whole concept of wanting 3s to be ez and filled with bad teams
Glad used to be somewhat challenging to obtain pre bfa they should literally just remove inflation like they did this season but make it percentage base again

Id honestly say everything 2k+ in 2s and 3s is r1/glads.
Just low player pool and ss
