RSS is pretty much just RNG rating

I was doing pretty good this season. I made it in the top 10 of my spec a few times.

I was close to 2300 last week. Had a couple bad games (Qed into Demo Lock, DK and DH) and dropped a significant amount of points. These things happen, I’m chillin.

Next Q I’m on track for 6-0. Someone leaves round 6. 0 out and go again. I message the lock that left. He has a theory that leaving an RSS only loses you 150 pts and it doesn’t tank your MMR. If that’s the case leaving high MMR games rather than losing is actually meta.

Go 3-3 next game. Lose 0 rating.

Next game. On track for 5-1. Some garbo MM hunter has been typing in all caps every round. He’s about to die and alt+F4s. Sick game.

Q next game into DK / DH / X at low MMR. Healers can’t keep me up despite best efforts. Lose 80 pts.

In total, I’m down like 200 points this week with the majority of my wins counting for nothing.

I’m convinced that rating in this bracket is RNG lmao. This isn’t a complaint btw. Internet numbers don’t matter at the end of the day.

Thoughts and prayers that regular balance changes keep coming and we see some changes when it comes to people losing games.

This is why shuffle encourages rerolling FoTM, you can place high mmr really quick off the bat and abuse bad balance changes at the same time.

Also leaving matches is 100% worth it at high CR, your MMR matters more than the 150 CR you lose.

They need to simply grey out “leave arena” for rss. Alt f4 all you want but your toon is stuck for the duration

Or just put in a Vote Kick option, that would be hilariously toxic.

Unfortunately i could see that getting implemented too…

Lmao imagine the level of grief it’ll create, people going 5-0 only to get vote kicked by other people out of pure spite.

You cant balance solo shuffle, it is a meme. Its the random BG of arena. Take it as that, You do not single handedly win a game. There is nothing SOLO about it, its 3v3. Matter of fact the only thing solo in wow PVP is dueling.

Have been saying this for weeks

There needs to be a mmr penalty as well. Also the people who didnt leave should gain rating based off their current wins / losses
