It’s easy to poke fun at it and laugh, but the feeling is real. Fueling conspiracies kind of feelings about mmr, cr and the whole shebang many days. It’s an exploration of enjoying the sense of “I want the number to go up”, since solo has the title of rated, but none of the benefits.
Transparency would be Nice
At THIS point and juncture, it’s fine since everything is in flux. But real transparency to at least understand the general logic would help so much to connect things somewhat logically together. It’d at least be appreciated. The match-making does X, after Y time it broadens to Z. It considers blah, so you go bloop.
Can you use target dummies in rated BGs? Need to get my stats up when guarding a base. 
I don’t think you can. I honestly haven’t tried. I’m usually on a healer, because once people learn that you have geared healers, they generally don’t want you on a DPS.
The Matchmaker doesn’t care what other toons you have.
Keep posting on a level 13 alt. Like what do you have to hide? Akita 11329, come duel me and show me how bad I am.

Reading isn’t your strong suit, is it?
The fact that you’re wanting to duel a Healer says everything that needs to be said.
The fact that you talk trash on a level 13 says everything that needs to be said. You aren’t a clown your the entire circus.
I mean it’d be more appropriate to watch paint dry than watch a blood dk duel a healer.

Really odd hill to die on, Patronus, since it would take you mere seconds on check-pvp to figure out who he is if you really needed to know.

well the 1st thing if you are alliance.
alliance is terrible at pvp.
most alliance do not
- play the objectives
- their healers only heal themselves
- they fight off objectives
Any time I’m in a Blitz and someone on my team says something like “alliance sucks” or “horde sucks” I know it will probably be a loss since we are down a player.

I’ve been on my holy paladin today, figured I wanted to grind out the rest of the TMOG. 9 Solo RBG queues in and I’m still at 0 rating and only 50 CP. It’s going great. 95% of those groups (I heal), we just have no dang damage.

This seems unlikely.
What you’re probably experiencing is that the opposing healers are dispelling all your teams DoTs.
Are you cleansing on cooldown? Or are you just spamming heals all game?

this doesn’t make any sense
What doesn’t make any sense?
If your team is apparently not doing any damage, then something is stopping them from doing damage.
If the other team is doing lots of damage, then your team isn’t stopping them from doing any damage.
Dispels are more important than heals. Which is why Revival was strong enough to be nerfed significantly.

pressing dispel every 8 seconds isn’t going to make an entire team’s damage screech to a halt lol. only a minority of specs use dots and those specs can just reapply their dots on the one target you dispelled.
Yes, I shouldn’t have singled out dots.
Dispelling CC is important too.

Yes, I dispel quite frequently.
These people are just
Got into CTF; first thing the prot paladin on our team does? Runs off to the side of the map to fight a ret pally 1v1.
He touched the flag ONCE the entire match. The only reason we even had a cap was cause my friend q’d with me on his shaman and we ran the flag.
My friend is like 2112 and even he agrees that he’s never seen it be so bad like it is queuing with me at the moment. The commentary over discord has been hysterical.
Remove the ‘these people’ comment, even when obfuscating that word, some people will flag your post.
Yes, I agree that at lower MMR, games are filled with players who have no idea what is going on.
But you should have climbed out of that, if you do know what you’re doing.
It’s good that you have a duo partner, that will certainly help.
