Please explain MMR and the rating system

I believe mmr is completely broken and a scam. Prove me wrong.

The match making and rating system makes no sense whatsoever. I have played healers and DPS in both shuffles and arenas constantly this season that is now ending, and its such a flawed system.

Do better Blizzard.

I can link photos of winning in a lobby with similar MMR and gain 0 rating. I can also show photo of losing nearly 100 rating from a single lobby with similar MMR. You cant make sense of that. All within the same hour of queueing. LOL

Its a flawed system.

Post them.

There isn’t some super secret calculations going on, the game tries its hardest to put your rating to where your mmr is.

The lower your mmr the less rating wins are worth, the higher your mmr the more rating wins are worth.

The game is doing nothing but pushing your rating to your mmr, If you have 1550 mmr and you’re 1550 rating you’re going to get 0 for a 3-3. And if the enemy healer is lower mmr than you, you’re going to lose mmr on top.

Best to just ignore the numbers and play the game, try to self improve and you’ll get what you want eventually.

not true. could be full bis and still lose all effort from wins to 1 loss. that doesnt make sense if mmr is updated after each match, within same night of queueing.

ill link the end results of the matches in a min.

5 lobbies to get 100 points just to lose that in 1 bad lobby… make it make sense bro

If you consistently win more than you lose your rating goes up, that’s all.

If you’re looking to blame something other than yourself you’ll have better luck pointing out how shuffle more strongly pushes healers twards 3-3s than dps.

This is the core of the issue why MMR for healers is such a scam and why the healers scarcity.

This is just plain trash.

You need to be at least 200 MMR higher than the healer to brute force 4-2. Its not very easy, usually there is one dps f*ck up, and having him play good one round is a challenge, he may play well the round against you …

Like I said before, can win 6 lobbies… gain nearly 100 rating… lose 1 bad lobby, all effort lost. GG

Literally WORKING for wins. Just to get scammed out of a single bad lobby loss. Make it make sense bruh.

If you ask me, seems as if the system is meant to keep majority of player base in a constant loop.

the mmr system is just alittle scuffed healers still got like 2900 in solo shuffle

like you win games in a row that’s how you climb

is it easier for dps yes

MMR is stupid

Should be “win and get X points. Lose and lose X points”.

The fluid nature of MMR fees like dooookey birds

it doesn’t feel good getting into a lobby 100 mmr below u, basically telling you to go 5-1 or lose points

They need to allow like a 100 point variance.

If Other healer is like 1 mmr point lower than me and goes 3-3 he gains points and I lose points.

Flawed system.

How is it a flaw that a draw against someone lower rated drops your rating

This is intended. There is a bit of an issue with being paired versus much lower healers basically forcing you to 4-2 to break even, though, which strikes me as odd but I imagine that’s just lack of healers.

Whereas as dps I’m always at equal mmr unless on a winning/losing streak.

Hmm. For the most part it works fine, and there aren’t too many lineups/adjustments that don’t make sense.

Your first few games set your MMR kinda, so you wanna do well for your first few games.

Old Man Ruki said it best, class rated video. I’m guessing you wanna play S+ tier classes if possible, get the moggies, maybe a weapon enchant if lucky, done for the season… With Luck you could do this day one.
