The MMR system is broken because I literally got put into a 1700 lobby on my 2700 MMR toon and that was pure mental torture. And the ability to queue is broken without running a stupid script. Shuffle MMR is also still capped.
Like we’re a month into the new xpac and it feels like we’re playing a beta.

i was literally hardstuck 1300 for an entire day man
im not even kidding those games would spike my test and blood pressure… the stuff i see in 1300 blitz fills my SOUL with SEETHING HATRED AND RAGE
luckily i must have been blessed by the mmr gods cuz i got 2 highish mmr lobbies in a row and was able to get 300+ cr in only 2 wins.
but dear god… that was a NIGHTMARE

People thought i was joking when i said TWW launches in 11.0.5.
Every beta lasted at least 6 months, tww beta was barely 2-3 months, the game wasn’t ready for launch but u know, money.
I blame the CEOs tbh. That’s not even a dev problem. That’s devs being overworked by the man.

It’s mainly due to recent studies showing that blizzard fans are some of the most “resilient consumers”.
No matter the state of products players will (pre)purchase and play it, therein lies the problem.
When you get to 2700 mmr or top of the ladder the player pool is very small so you can only really q in prime time. Or you will get put in lower lobby cause they are the only lobby available

Yeah, i know that, but 1700 MMR lobby?!? That’s just crazy.
Starting my rogue alt and playing down here is the single most frustrating thing on the face of planet earth.
I don’t know how some of these people even manage to turn on their PC.

It shouldn’t be possible to get thrown into a match that far apart, though.
If I queue one of my DKs now there’s a high chance I get put into a lineup that’s 400 points lower so I risk 20+ cr and 100+ mmr for something like +4 points.
And its not even trying to be mean, but there’s an mmr system in place for a reason and I’m a sweaty try hard.

When you start a new toon during your placement it swings you around a few games.
One of them was a 1293 MMR game which was shockingly bad and then the next lobby was 1790 where people at least had buttons bound.
It’s just wild how bad low end blitz is.
Its insane that you can’t report people for throwing. It is actually UNBELIEVABLE though that Blizzard doesn’t force every new player in Blitz to go in to a comp stomp version of it like a scenario to TEACH THEM HOW THE NEW BG BLITZ BGS WORK.
The number of times people just stand at an innactive base, or go to the wrong one with the flag, or don’t understand that the flag debuff eventually hits 100% damp is why so many play so bad.
Its legit unreal how terrible Blizzard is at implementing basically anything new. Then if anyone gets mad at these players for basically sandbagging, gg say anything and it becomes a report.
Having zero interrupts, and 1 usage of a defensive CD throughout an entire game should just get you a cooling period of, “Why don’t you press these buttons? You are in the RATED environment. Go learn.”

The most annoying part about this is that it’s incredibly hard to carry in these games. And if you already did it once and then get put back there by a broken MMR system, it just feels brutal.

Watching two people on eye of the storm “defend” the inactive base for a full minute.

You’re giving me PTSD.
Or people in Kotmogu just not grabbing orbs the entire game and standing on the ledge fighting people who also don’t have orbs.
It’s insane.
Or healers who don’t heal team fights or anything and just sort of stand there at dead nodes in whatever match.
God it makes my blood boil because it’s so bad and it’s so simple to just not be completely incompetent.

Its even this way in m+. I did a +2 Ara’kara and we didn’t press lust/hero even once despite me asking. Get to end boss with 11 minutes, wipe twice cause team doesn’t understand grip mechanic and I finally go:
“Whyyyyyyyy are we not using heroism/lust???”
Shaman: “I didn’t know I had that.”
DH: “What class has that?”
As the shaman is walking back (we have 3 min left), he presses it dragging it on to his bar, first one ever. We proceed to barely kill it after he dies @ 50% boss hp, he proceeds to complain that no one helped him break his root.
He had zero wind shears, zero damage, only healed. It was actually unfathomably insane to me. How you can ever even be that bad and get in to content where other people are relying on you to play your character and then not get in some form of trouble for it is unreal to me.
Oh, also I should mention, we did not time it. He was also specd ele and got ara kara trinket egg. SO SICK BROTHER.

Banger in blitz, too. Two dragons, a Mage and Rsham and it doesn’t get used once in the game.
See bro that should get you a time out. Idc. If I can’t tell you that you’re awful for not pressing your buttons, you need to at least be given a time out for not doing so. Its legit unreal. (impossible i know but oh my god.)
