Tanking rating

Bad heals, destro locks, dh, and rmx with undergeared mages that one shot…what keeps you motivated to play after tanking rating?

Or did the majority quit for this reason.

Idk, it sucks, but tanking is apart of the game to some extent. It just happens. There’s still like 2 months or so left, so don’t let a bad queue session ruin it.

Didn’t you post this same thing a few days ago?

I play with people that just try to have fun and don’t get upset when we lose or accidentally que as Prot.

No, I posted how to counter rmx, DH and lock. Got no answer and I think I won’t get one.

how does this happen? like ‘accidentally’ sticking it in the back door?

I’ve had an rdruid accidentally queue as boomy.

idk rating doesn’t really do anything till the end of the season, feel like shouldn’t ever matter much if you go up or down honestly

ive had plenty of times where ill be top 10 on ladder then just que my main with alts and tank, you’ll always get it back up if ur playing with the people u played with before anyways or someone just as good etc

Featherfeet will you bless me with your presence and take my rating to the heavens

I feel like it’s easier to say when you’re consistently in rank 1 range. Dropping below 2100 and possibly missing out on that gear for the week or next feels like a punch in the gut.

Naw i’ve done some deep 1900 scuba dives pretty often

The rating u get is based on your highest from the week too so once u get it u can tank then regrind the next week, usually makes it more enjoyable for me i feel like, but i had always done this sorta thing even when i was newer - maybe cause when you had teams i’d just always disband and regrind etc

Facing you I really felt you belong in the 2500+ range. Same with all the rmx, locks and dhs.

I kind of agree with Dilly, going down in rating then just gives me something to do to try and get it back up

Well ya when I’m trying I’m usually at least top 20 ladder

Gekz is like 2830 from last time I qued

But I also don’t have much of a reason to constantly try since I just have to put in way too much effort to succeed

Cr goes up and down don’t really focus on it and you shouldn’t unless you’re in r1 range on the last day and tank out of it. When I get a higher rating much like dillmies said its not really luck if you’re good so you’ll get back there or past it with like minded people and less toxic q’s.

ive never really done arena.

i got to 1849 with some spanish ret i found in LFG and quit ever since. it was weird we got to 1850 super super easy but then we just hit a wall and since i didnt spek his language we couldnt comm.

sitting in group finder is boring, i would def play if they had solo Q… i cant get invited because i dont have any leeeeet cheeeevez… and dont have the pateience to wait 45 mins when i could just do rando bg instead have some actual fun.

so for guys like me arena is basically either a giant giant time sink or just mpossible.

feels sad =(

but from the sound of things i doubt i would ever be able to hit 2k anyways

I don’t know if Dillon streams but he can definitely help you improve your game. Also, I’ve been more of a rated bgs player but teams are almost non-existent there.

this

people who worry too much about cr and are super @nal hardwall themselves out of finding new consistent partners and typically play worse because they spend 90% of the time on tilt

rating literally means nothing 90% of the season and everyone loses games they should win occasionally

@op really focus on finding players you like qing with and push really hard to get them to add u and ask for qs often
dont sit in lfg and expect to just grind out glad wins with 50 different random players effortlessly
