Solo Shuffle Update - January 6

Just because you haven’t seen it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Just look at the previous posts or other posts in the forum. Many people have seen it. I’ve seen people in 1800-2k+ lobbies with 0 CR.

It’s not enough. People can get other rewards from other modes liek 2v2, 3v3, RBGs, Raids or M+.

The issue is with the CR of the DPS and Healers in general. More healers are quitting RSS.

Nice strawman there, but if it had been tested properly, we wouldn’t be having these issues and they would have already had incentives and penalties for quitters prior to going live.

Yeah, that’s somebody on their offspec.

Wouldn’t make sense to throw a 2500 Arms into a 1500 mmr lobby as Fury.

Rating isn’t tied to spec. No, it doesn’t make sense does it? When que times get to high they just lob a random into a lobby.

It is in Solo Shuffle.

Just tested. You’re right. Is that from last patch?

No, it has been there since day one of the season.

Still, if they are going to separate CR by spec they shouldn’t be putting someone who is 0 CR in one spec but may be whatever CR in another spec in the same lobby. They should have to climb on that spec as well. Most people aren’t playing different specs at the same CR.

Today I had a 0 CR Rogue in a 2K RSS that went 0/6. If it was just his alt spec, he didn’t belong in that MMR.

The purpose of matchmaking rating is to get people into the games they should be in asap and then they can eventually catch their current rating up.

This gets giant players out of the newbie pool asap and people in over their head back into games where they’re sometimes winning.

People who are winning (or losing) a lot will rapidly move.

Still seems kind of messed up to toss in a 0 CR rogue into 2k games that everyone waited 30+ mins for just to have everyone who grouped with him lose 2-3 games because of him. Especially for the healers. Basically everyone on average gets 0 CR and we all waste our time.

Healers go 3-3 which they do all the time.

Dps all go 4-2 so they’re happy.

The 0-6 moves down and closer to where they need to be.

They usually make conquest transferable in the form of BoA boxes from a vendor for a small conq fee towards the end of the season.

No one is happy, especially heals, because no one gains anything.

Healers go even and get nothing, which they’re used to.

Dps all go 4-2 which they’re obviously going to be happy with.

This is of course assuming the person in question goes 0-6.

Sure, but how many do they win? I had a game earlier where I went 3-3 and went up 48 points or something because my mmr was much higher than my cr.

I’m assuming most DPS are going 3/6 or 4/6. Even with one loss every 10 games people are going to be negative which is what everyone is reporting. Healers will be in a worse spot, which they are also reporting. In the example with the rogue, because of his Cr, the MMR would be lower and people would get less or nothing (which is what we all got).

Again, though, a single dps feeding every round just pushes dps up and does nothing with healers.

Def excited to see what they come up with after all this time… :sweat_smile:
