I am 3146cr, 3446 mmr. I keep getting ques with 3k mmr or below and little to no rating. Was #13, now #20 but I get almost nothing for winning.
I really think there is something fishy going on here. It shouldn’t require all R1s to hop on at the same time to get rating or a Saturday night only lobby. I am starting to think its coordinated. I see names ive never seen before with only like 100 games at 70% win ratio…this is fishy fishy at the end of a season in a blitz; supposedly of people you can’t control. Or…maybe they are….wink to bliz.

It’s too late in the season. The people (including cheaters) above you are done and standing pat, so no queues are popping?
Yea…there are plenty in the MMR still fighting. I don’t buy it. Yea ques are not popping, not even a estimated time. Then boom, it pops, and a 3k lobby. Almost no CR for fighting the good fight.
also, last week cuttoff was like 3.1k, now its 3.3k.
It’s kind of been known that the high Blitz lobbies are at degenerate hours. If you sit queue long enough for it to pop- you’re gonna get dragged down.
It’s a lot of cheating. I was in that same range on my SV. 3100 cr 3300-3400 MMR. Couldn’t crack past that. Too many games with obvious throws. My win rate was around 50/50 at that range, so my MMR started to flatten out. Might have had a chance with a healer. Seeing the same thing happen on my enhance atm.
MMR still fluctuates too much. Tried to play earlier. Lose 100 MMR for one loss. Tiring. In queue atm for 3k+ on my sham. 20+ minutes. I’m sure it will be a 2800-2900 queue. I’m at a loss. 59% win rate atm. Means nothing if I can’t get queues.
I don’t like it but the 3.3+ queues don’t start for another few hours and then the high lobbies won’t be for a few more hours after that. The system punishes you for playing lobbies lower than your MMR, so if the queues aren’t popping people aren’t trying to get them going; it’s not worth the risk. As a normal player, if you want a real shot at R1 you really just have to be disciplined and only queue on that character or characters when games in your MMR range are popping.
And the system does not discourage people from coming in and getting their titles in the last few weeks. I don’t know who you’re talking about and I’m not going to ask, but I see a lot of multi R1 top players who fit the pattern of the ~70% win rate.
