What is causing players to be stuck at below average ratings?

That’s an artificial cap, and basically stating you can argue with me til you’re blue in the face riding everyone’s coat tails it won’t change that their mmr system failed and created an artificial cap.

A cap no less, and they took the steps to remedy their problem. Is this happening again right now? I don’t know and dare I say argue semantics for the xth time with a forum dweller.

No, it isn’t.

It’s a natural cap at the most.

Caused by the players, not by Blizzard.

Thank you for proving my point, forum denizen

Please for the readers at home can you showcase the difference between natural and artificial

Except that you’re wrong.

Artificial would be directly added by Blizzard.

Natural would be caused by players not playing to what the system is designed to expect.

If I’m wrong then you don’t even exist.

Natural cap is 4000k rating period, artificial is whatever is created by the system at play. Please go to bed or go away

I wish I knew what this means.

No, that would be an artificial cap. This is the highest rating number which is imposed by the system.

And this would be natural. This is the number which is organically produced by the population.

WW doesn’t even care about 2pc, it’s such a crap set bonus it’s wild

In regards to OP, why do people keep getting hooked into Dozer’s bait.

Yeah, they definitely missed the mark on the WW bonuses this time around :frowning:

It’s hilariously bad, especially with it being nerfed in pvp combat. Not sure who thought “5% dmg buff is too strong, we need to nerf it in half for pvp”

I think it’s just that they blanket nerf everything and sometimes revert to 100% value if nobody is playing it, but not super consistently.

I mean I guess but this the set bonuses for Windwalker just absolutely terrible, even in terms of PVE

Isn’t that mathematically impossible?

Elite is unironically probably close to average rating assuming ample games played in Blitz.

my gatekeeping hyper burst Colossus Prot spec

the amount of 100-0s I’ve done on Leather wearers at 2100 MMR should be a crime

I’m just lazy and haven’t pushed. Just a casual gamer over here. 1800 player at best tbh. Not ashamed to admit it! I honestly just like to do it for the mog. Some day though, some day I’ll get up there and get the elite stuff.

Some day.

Imagine if you could play chess under 5 different legal names. Capping gladiator at a rating rather than a percentile was a major mistake as well as getting rid of decay. I’m not smart enough to tell you what other problems there is, but I do in my soul believe the rating system needs a complete redesign.

Idk if making glad harder is the key

lmao. this is actually one major problem with the game.
