Solo Shuffle - please explain 0 points

30 minute Q’s as dps …
Top DMG done
Top kills
More rounds won that other players

getting 0 points for it while others are getting 100-270

seems like a total waste of time in it’s current form
I have no idea how people are 2k in this scenario im stuck at 1300 winning back to back gains and seeing no rating increase

I’ve lost quite a few rounds and am at 1700, so I don’t know

No idea. I’m in this odd loop of-
4/6 - Gain 8 rating.
3/3 - Gain 4 rating.
4/6 - Gain 0 Rating
3/3 - Lose 30 Rating

I wont play it again

The game does a bad job of matchmaking people with similar rating a lot of times so you could get harshly punished if you lose games vs lower rated players. Tbh you shouldn’t even pay attention to that though and just focus on playing the best you can and striving to get 4 wins every time. If you do your mmr will climb and you will too. If you 3-3 you will eventually spin your wheels, and if you do worse you will go down. I have yet to see myself not gain rating if winning 4+ consecutively though.

I won 5/6 and got +450 rating

I’m not sure it should be giving that much :thinking:

Blizzard has no idea how to do mmr and matchmaking

Shuffle is awesome. I hate it. Love you. Queue up.

It all depends on mmr.

One could push up to ratings like 2400+ without losing a single point provided they’re winning enough. Like, normally people don’t think of rating losses at low rating, but there’s some fellow in one of the pvp discs that’s losing like 50 points at 800 rating after 100 games played.

Ideally it’s not something anybody has to think about.

Queue up, play, ideally win, sometimes number go up, sometimes it go down.

As a healer or dps?

As a healer

Ok that makes more sense as it appears the system only compares mmr between the healers and it often matches them up with huge disparities due to the shortage. I would think it would swing both ways though i.e. you can also make huge jumps when paired against a higher rated healer. Regardless it’s a much smoother process for dps unfortunately.

Just this morning I had a healer match against someone rated 600 while I was 1800. This is the main culprit, the game does a poor job matching people appropriately, but that can stem from any number of things, be it a new character/spec going through placement matches, or simply not enough player saturation in a given rating bracket, healers in particular.

I had to bust my a$$ in that match to just barely make 4/6 for zero rating gain. The enemy healer was experienced enough and likely playing an alt spec/class. Atm i am roughly 57 percent winrate at 1800ish and on average, have been losing more rating than i have gained. I shot up to 1700 in the first day, and now I have been losing interest in even playing anymore.

Yeah that’s really unfair. :slightly_frowning_face: Hopefully Blizzard fixes this soon, but I’m not sure how.

I dont understand the design choice behind not having rating adjustments for all particpants be based on average MMR of each game.

Yeah I kinda agree, but would go further and ask they just matchmake the lobby and award static cr increases/decreases based on games won. They clearly can’t get all 6 players close enough in mmr to avoid wild swings so rather than punish the players for that they should use the algorithm to make the best lobby possible and from there everyone is on equal footing with regards to rewards.
