Just had a Silvershard match where 2(!!!) players on my team were AFK off the rip and disconnected mid match. Literally 0 numbers from either of them, a feral druid and priest healer. We obviously lose the match.
23 rating loss.
For a match where we were down 2 players the entire time. Boy, the opposing team really worked for this one!
This is indefensible.
That sort of occurrence is not exclusive to Blitz. It has happened countless times in RGB’s and BG’s over the years. It sucks but it isn’t a Blitz issue. It is a player and possibly a connectivity issue. Hate to hear that it happened to you.
I’m not questioning the disconnects. I’m questioning having everyone else on our team be punished with rating loss when two people were AFK from the start and eventually disconnect.
That makes zero sense and is ridiculously punitive.
queue again.
That is part of the “player” issue I mentioned. It happened and will continue to happen. It is not a Blitz issue, it is a player issue. Quite frankly I don’t know who Blizzard can combat it because anything they implement will skyrocket CS Tickets of those same players crying with excuses that that their cat was on fire, their grandma died or they died in real life.
Blizzard created this new game mode, they need to take all that data and make changes, make it better! Been out long enough now they should see all the problems in SOLO content. Maybe even expand it to Mythic+ who knows.
Microsoft just launched South of Midnight, 1k players ROFL!!! Another AAA huge investment in the toilet, is Blizzard competing w Hollywoood an Disney for the race to going out of business? Eastern Companies like Tencent are dominating, they give gamers what they want and cant stop winning.
Blizzard is like Nvidia, they forgot the gamers that put them on the map. Paper launches, missing ROPs, scalpers, melting high pwr cables lol. Courts ruling that Microtransactions are predatory and illegal, so I dont see a 100 dollar AH mount saving the day again lol. Blizzard has a choice, FIX the game, give gamers what they want, orrrrr GO BROKE!
Most of the problems with rated solo content can’t be fixed. Biggest problem is the que time for dps which is what most people play. WoW is just not designed for competitive rated solo que and I doubt it ever will be.
Just queue again and grind it back.
You’ll win off disconnects more often than you’ll lose assuming you play enough.
In the end blitz is mostly just a matter of who presses queue the most.
What do you propose?
Also, this happens in every game ever. A match in pvp is never fair. Over 1000 games, things are fair.
