Hey guys,
So I’m a little frustrated today. Some background, I’m a healer and was trying the climb to 2400 on this last week before the patch.
I know I play a spec some people hate and love to blame for losing , but I like to fistweave and at least im healing. I was climbing and was nearing 2300 when the following happened.
I went 2-0 against a mage from Tich and then he joined my team. He said he refused to let me win and ran in and died the 3 times he was on my team. I went 2-4 because of this.
Then, I take a break because im frustrated and queue up about 20 minutes later, and honest to god, he was in the RSS rotation with me again. Once again he threw all 3 games and I went 2-4 again. He kept rage whispering me saying he refused to let me win.
Now guys, the blight of climbing as a healer is well documented and it’s very slow, especially when you are closing in on 2300+, as there are a lot of 3-3 games. Losing 98 points total in these 2 matches consecutively was frustrating.
I had other players in the RSS round whispering me asking me if he was throwing. I confirmed and 4 of them agreed to report him. I hope that he gets suspended for this. It will take around 7-8 RSS rounds or more going 4-2 just to get back to where I was and that’s if I don’t lose anything along the way and mmr is in my favor.
Thanks for reading my wall of text.
TLDR: Mage intentionally lost 3 rounds twice in two separate RSS causing my healer to lose 98 rating near 2300. Made me sad.
Love you all

BUT WAIT, THERES MORE!
Just wait till its a Solo Queue RBG lol. I truly believe this will be as good as the old Timeless Isle in MoP Hilarious! Its enough for me to log back into this old crappy game and resub luul.
There will be a lot of rage during solo q BGs that’s for sure

that mage is just fighting the good fight
down with augment evokers!
(jk, but ya people are frickin petty though i gotta say (relevant early in season, less now) the fact that shuffle tells you to “drive into a gas pump, in game” when a 3-3 becomes impossible is a really bad thing and kinda incentivizes going next)
In seriousness good luck on your push! I failed my 2100 push. Went 4-2 and was at 2096 and then it all went downhill from there. Q’d into a good hpal and went 1-5 and lost 70 mmr. And then went 1-5 again against a holy priest who was also very good and faded all of my bashes. Now there’s no hope to recover. This will be the first season I didn’t get 2100 since dragonflight launched. I also didn’t manage to get the monthly broom mount I really wanted. Had a rough month at work and am now fighting Covid and living off 2.5 hours of sleep because I’m in so much pain.
I think all the stress of trying to push rating is weakening my immune system. Felt better before I Q’d tonight and now my tooth is throbbing. Sub runs out in February so I’ll stick with it but I think I’m getting too old for this game and my reflexes aren’t what they used to be. DPS screaming at me for throwing when I’m trying my best.
This is pretty common indeed, a typical muffins in the freezer case. There is nothing you can do about it.
Good, down with Fistweaving.
Can you get me this mage’s name so I can get him on my bnet?

This game doesn’t take any reflexes, only knowledge.
This game plays in slow motion compared to games that actually require reflexes.
I’m the past I have done this to tank players
