Anyone else think the mmr system for this mode just generally feels awful? Its the first time ive felt put off by pvp. I dont even want to q because i just never feel like i make progress. you win one game gain like 10 mmr then lose and you lose 11. its just afwul and its completely luck based.
Tell me you donât understand how it works without telling me you donât understand how it works.
Tell me youâve never played a team sport without telling me youâve never played a team sport. Sometimes you can play flawlessly but it still wonât compensate for poor teammates. Also sometimes you can get carried to a win you donât deserve.

Ad hominin attacks donât really work when youâre trying to refute someone. How about asking the player what in that situation makes them âfeelâ that way. Maybe ask what solutions they could posit. It doesnât help to be a jerk.

This is how ad hominem works:
Itâs perfectly acceptable to say something like: âyouâre wrong, so youâre an idiotâ.
Whereas it is not acceptable to say: âyouâre an idiot, so youâre wrongâ.
It isnât a phrase you can use to negate anything said, anytime you see an ad hominem.
Blitz MMR is a meme. I expect weâll see adjustments for the next season.

youre trolling for real
this post is exactly why people say the wow pvp community is toxic
Iâm not. Read up on how the system works, and it will make sense.

The OPâs post is exactly why people remain ignorant of what it is they are experiencing. Spounting their feelings instead of address their ignorance on the subject. Iâve Blitz up to 2100 cr, seeing my MMR drastically higher (2700) and significantly lowers after a long loss streak (1800). At no point was it a mystery to me what was going on with my rating.
I am now rebuilding my MMR on that character, and it will take a strong winning trend to undo the long loss streak I had. While I was in the negative, any loss was a bigger point hit, while any win was a smaller gain. Read my link if you canât quite grasp why this is the case.
I find it slightly annoying they cap rating gains after 1600 or whatever. 1600 in a 2200+ lobby and I get 23pts

Yeah the caps feel bad
This is legitimate criticism on the mmr system based specifically on how it works, not just âMMR feels bad, man.â
Considering that top players are above 3k, capping rating gain after 1600 at 23 is silly, though I suspect itâs to keep people playing in the system longerâŚwhich is does.
I think I read somewhere itâs capped at like 25pts a win, but it just makes grinding so painful. I tanked like 100 rating on my Rogue ( 2430ish to 2300ish ) and now Iâm getting +8 for a win and -15-17 for a loss. Stuff be wild yo - could just be me just landing where I belong but I was winning in 2600-2800 lobbies and getting pretty minimal points, who knows. 
I tanked 100 cr, but like 800 mmr over the course of 14 consecutive losses. Still digging myself out of that hole.
I havenât queueâd on that toon in weeks, Iâve just been hitting 1600 on alts to get free gear and leveling more toons
The only issue I have with mmr is that if you go on a bad loss streak, it is REALLY difficult to break the loss streak and get back to a healthy level. e.g. my cr is around 2900 but my mmr has dropped to 2700 and I get 3 points per game but lose 18. Honestly it makes me wanna log for a few weeks. This season I had a major drop after I dcd and lost all my mmr and 200 cr which resulted me in losing around 500 rating.
Loss streaks happen. Unfortunately itâs the nature of the beast when dealing with randomized group play.
The rating system is junk. On my new pally, heâs now 2600 mmr but only 1550 cr. Iâm 10-2 on him, Iâm in 2600 lobbies and when I win, Iâm getting 23 rating, luckily I havenât lost any rating on those 2 losses, but câmon, 23 rating when Iâm playing in lobbies 1100 higher than my cr⌠bonkers.
Yeah I have had the same experience on one of my alts. The 23/24 cap on wins above 1600 is so wild. They really need to tighten up the mmr but also give better points for winning above your Cr.
Also, losing 300 mmr for 1 loss is also bonkers.
Yeah, it needs to kick in like north of 2100 or something.
