Interesting concept

Curious if any high MMR healer has ever intentionally tanked their RSS MMR down into the gutter, then streamed themself carrying their MMR back up the system while combating DPS working against them? I.e. DPS who run from them while in trouble, or who cross the map when they’re in CC, etc. Especially while explaining what’s going on.

And if not, one of you should. Would be more interesting to watch than multi-R1s doing alt games into Mglads.

Id love to see this.

Doubt it though.

Even in 3s, most people seem to only play with their same circle of players who have all been around their same ratings for years.

I know its not really helpful, but even AI indicates that blizzard has never fully reset MMR, indicating that there would be a huge collapse, even across expansions. Only small / soft mmr resets.

Idk though.

Game feels incredibly difficult to climb as a healer. Ive played every healer this expansion , all freshly made. Sure starter MMR was inflated to 2.1, but essentially you’re climbing up. Same in 3s.

Ive noticed that around 1800-2k in 3s right now, there seems to be a large wall, where coordination and comp synergy matter way more than people might think.

The game is designed in a way to find people in LFG, but its also designed so that you need coordination and synergy, and right now those two aspects seem to go against each other, with how often people leave after losses.

Sorry I know this is about RSS and not 3s.

Same–would be both informative and entertaining.

they need to give legends in ranked solo shuffle their own flying mount, collapse the 3v3 bracket and gladiator real money trading elitist egos once and for all

Not afaik, because you’d have to intentionally throw games to get that low, which would be against the ToS.

I’m not sure that it would. MMR moves INSANELY fast when you winstreak, to the point where in less than 10 games they’d probably be back to gladiator+ mmr.

It may be informative for video making purposes, but likely wouldn’t be reliable content.

A 10 lobby series of ‘how to carry melee that LoS across the map’ would even be interesting, and helpful!

Stop playing so far back.

Yea unironically this is the answer for shuffle

It also helps break a lot of ccs on you if you play on top of your melee

Is this legit or am I getting Rick Rolled?

Yuh, that’s how pres often do

If you’re standing in non-threatening cleave it’ll knock you out

The playing forward thing is also good to both enable/support your team as they push in and save them if they push in too far.

AFKing 40 yards back and clicking the health bar that’s not 100% is sort of the healer equivalent of leaping 40 yards behind a pillar.

Depends on the comp and MU, But sometimes it’s genuinely good to stack with your team.
