Anyone else noticing a drop in MMR. Maybe I have just had a string of very bad luck, but something seems really off about MMR in the last few weeks. Like the game is actively pushing MMR down OR there just isn’t that many active higher MMR matches going and the game is instead quickly placing players in lower MMR games. So maybe an issue of active games?
Example: This has happened quite a few times where I’m getting less and less points per match won. So I finally get a small win streak going but because I’m being placed in lower MMR games, I not only don’t get much for points, but it also doesn’t improve my MMR much, if at all.
MMR overall just seems incredibly punishing right now and I’m not totally sure what it is. Maybe a combination of things or maybe they have been messing with the numbers. Just up until the past few nights I had been maintaining a .55 win rate and just can’t seem to move up.
dont think so
I stopped playing at like 2600 and my spec rank was like 30 now its like 70 I dont think it ever went up again
Yea, I’d like to think nothing has changed, but I just can’t seem to gain rating on my sham atm. Was fine on my SV, disc, boomi and mage. Had a very positive win rate but I just leveled off. Keep getting matches that are well below my MMR. I don’t get enough for wins and keep taking huge hits for losses. Something just seems off.
Could it just be there’s nowhere near as many games right now? I feel like mop classic and mid season lul could be tough on the game.

That was my thought. I had not been tracking my MMR very closely, but going to start keeping an eye on it. Just weird to be constantly put into games that are substantially lower than your personal MMR.
I just semi geared my enhance shaman so I’m about to fresh que. I’ll let you know if I see anything similar on a fresh toon.
You still seeing it?
Sort of. Overall, I’m just not getting enough for my wins vs my losses. I’m constantly being put into games that are much lower than my personal MMR. Like last night I was in a match that was 100+ below my MMR and I took a huge hit for the loss.
This happened in shuffle and I documented it pretty clearly. Like 2/3rd’s of all matches my MMR was above the match average. Which makes sense in a way if you’re moving up. Problem is, if you aren’t getting enough for your wins to off set, you have no way to get ahead outside of some lucky win streaks.
My ele is floating around 2.2 atm and I just can’t get a break. Go up to 2300 range and then took a huge loss streak. Something is off. 
That said I could write a novel about the bad games I have had. Sure most of us could, but hot damn they are bad. Like the DH that decided to cap the flag on EOTS WHILE we had both bases. We ended up losing both bases and lost. Would have won in a minute. It’s honestly hard for me to process how awful some of these players are.

Hm what your mmr at
Cos as you get higher gonna hit a wall cos lot of big players holdin mmr hostage
this was me last night I lost a few I was going -20, -24 (at 2500-2600 mmr) and then I won 4 in a row and was getting +14 for all games. doesn’t make much sense
and alot of these games I lose massive points for is because the game can’t find enough people at current mmr so why am I being punished so hard for a problem that isn’t mine

Ya mode suffers from something similar to what happens to healers in high mmr shuff which is no eligible people so it reaches up or down
If I queue my 3100ish mmy char now just gonna get pulled into a 2700-2800 game at best

I feel like they need to fix the problem that if the mmr goes lower because not enough players then not as many points should be lost. the system knows when you’re on a losing streak so I can’t see it being a hard fix

2100-2300. I kinda bounce off 2400 from time to time, but the first loss and I take a 100-150 mmr loss. Compared to my disc, mage, and boomi, I basically stayed 2400+ until hitting that. I was 10 wins up with 100-110 games played with a .55-.57 record on my ele. Usually that would be more than enough to get 2.4. Instead, I keep getting low MMR games as I try to push up. Then, without fail, I go on a losing streak. I’m almost positive that the game is pairing you based off your previous win or loss. With fewer games going atm, especially higher ones, you just end up floating.
Exactly this.
Literally win 3 in a row and go +20, then +17, THEN +14… what?? The third win was in a game that was LOWER than the two games before it. Man is it frustrating. Then if I lose the next one, it’s -20 or more. 
The massive thing is the huge hit we take by being in a substantially lower MMR match. As if me, a single player, has enough agency to overcome those odds. Sometimes I might, but most of the time that is just unreasonable.
Problem is, there are still players in there placement games that are being put in this 2100-2400 games. Had a 2400 game a few days ago and the priest on my team had all greens and some AH pvp pieces. Did about a 1/3 the healing as the other healer. Completely unwindable. Or like the DH I mentioned earlier. These players don’t even know how the map works.
They need to make MMR only be based off your own wins and losses or something. While it’s great to get a boost of rating while you’re pushing up by being placed into higher maps, well the opposite also happens, but to a larger degree. I’m also nervous to queue up on my other toons at this point.
for another example tonight I won my game at 2600 , and my very next game went down to 2400 even though I just won? with a 40 minute queue and I lose 24 points for that loss. it’s becoming pointless to even play this game mode until they fix this issue

Here’s a good example of my issue. If you take a few losses in a row, you get placed on a downward trajectory. The ONLY way to correct this is to get a win streak that bumps your MMR up WELL past your CR. Even if you start going 50/50 but you start on that downward path, you net lose rating.
Like the SS.
+14
+17
+17
Then what?
-18
-22
-23
Within 4-5 losses I am already down an entire wins worth of rating even if I continue to go 50/50. I just keep going down and down and down. To this, I can’t get into a higher MMR match. So then my MMR just keeps going lower and lower as well.
The quality of games is also not good atm. Way too much pooling in the mid ranges now which is brining the ratings up on one end and brining down ratings on the other. Not good…
