I don’t understand the thought process behind this? There’s is absolutely no purpose to qing right now until they fix it. It’s no wonder no one can climb right now.

Old 3s players didn’t like that RSS ratings significantly exceeded theirs, even though RSS rating “inflation” was only due to much higher player participation.
So, this season, Blizzard added a strong rubber band to RSS ratings, pulling players back to 1500 as much as possible. This prevents RSS ratings from exceeding old 3s ratings by a large amount.
Thanks old 3s.

Where did you read that MMR is currently hard-capped?
NO WAY this is true. can you link source?
It’s pretty wack honestly. Half of the people in the PvP guilds/communities I’m in aren’t even bothering to play past vault cap for this reason.

There’s no point. Blizzard is purposefully pulling RSS players back to lower ratings as much as possibe.
It’s like trying to skate uphill with a rope attached to your waist. And Blizzard is tugging that rope.
poor victimized and oppressed rss players
life is pain, doom and gloom, the sky is falling, etc.

You que for fun or get the rewards because you’re actually good at the game but shuffle shouldn’t keep giving almost all of the arena rewards for free to everyone.

Lost 40 rating for winning 2 out 6 rounds one time at 1600’s . Next match I won 4 out 6 and got 27 rating for that. This is ridiculous Blizzard.

Shuffle ladder isn’t inflated to 3400 week 3……AHHHH THE HORRROR AHHHHHH
But the reason there is inflation and deflation is so people don’t sit rating all season

I’m not talking about artificial inflation or deflation.
RSS had higher (and lower) ratings because its bell curve was much larger than old 3s due to much higher player participation.
Who even knows but PvP feels like it died in Shadowlands and its just getting worse.
It never did. What shuffle had last season was something resembling a reasonable distribution of prestige brackets. The standard distribution that WoW apparently aims for is exclusive to the point of idiocy, and detrimental to the health of the game besides. Both shuffle and premade should have a distribution that looks like shuffle did last season.
But this isn’t wrong. The issue right now is that it’s much harder to have fun when there’s a strong perception of being disadvantaged due to tier RNG and just generally the broader impact that has on the balance of the game.
i won 5 games as a healer and got 27 points. then next round lost 4 games and lost 50 points…
gg blizzard. no wonder no one wants to heal.
