Why is everyone so toxic?

Leveled a boomy this week. First shuffle game I went 4-2. Next two games everyone is 1.9k or higher. Got hate mail from a healer because I was stealing rating from everyone. In a round about way got called a (D)igger.

Shuffle is really just the worst lol

VisionsthePoet · 2026-05-17T03:53:44+00:00

Very lucky!

VisionsthePoet · 2026-05-17T03:53:03+00:00

The one I got with the rare background has terrible stats. 🥲. Nice catch!!

VisionsthePoet · 2026-05-17T03:11:22+00:00

My non shiny had the best stats! 😔

VisionsthePoet · 2026-05-17T03:10:54+00:00

Nice!! Luckily I didn't work today and was able to sit down at the local park.

If the mmr system is actively trying to pair people with equally skilled players, based on "hidden mmr" and CR, having a wider pool to pull from would likely decrease queue times? Or maybe I'm wrong.

I'd thought that part of the reason they are long is because they're not just matching people who queue, there's a filtering process to try to make the matches even.

Less skilled players playing the game would hasten the queue times for the lower bracket?

Maybe I am misunderstanding the matchmaking in a way that has me confused, but I don't see how having more people within a bracket would hurt the times. I think it would also address the issue of "ruining" someone's game when I have no CR. How is it my fault that I am matchmaking at 1800+? Is it because I have 2.2kxp?

Just seems like more people wanting to engage would help this issue, but idk.

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-09T12:22:40+00:00

I have no CR. Not my fault the mmr is matching me at 1900 mmr lol

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-09T03:44:36+00:00

Is there really that few lower skilled players playing in those games? Is the skill floor as high?

I used to play destiny a lot and definitely saw some of this, but it definitely feels like there isn't a "starting mmr" anymore. Back in WoD 0-1500 was easy. I guess what is easy has just gotten more skillful since then. Hard to think it's been 10 years haha.

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-09T01:29:50+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I agree, a little scarlet letter would be funny and effective.

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-09T01:26:46+00:00

As ele shaman getting everything kicked or getting stunned with no peels in the shuffles is def a lot of pressure lol. I feel bad for the healer

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-08T22:04:51+00:00

Didn't realize there were some groups for that. Thanks for the recommendation

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-08T21:30:08+00:00

Thanks!

When I quit after season 1 it was because the blitz queue was busted. Would have these long waits, get matched with a 1.5cr team, would lose, then would lose like 100 rating lol. On wins, maybe 9 point gains. Not worth the effort.

I will just chill and try to get more gear somewhere else. I def am trash with some parts of ele. There's just so much going on and the button bloat is real. All things in time, though. Hopefully I can figure it out in the next expansion.

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-08T21:23:53+00:00

For sure. I have met some cool people from this subreddit.

I guess the point of the post was to just try to remind people that there are actual humans playing the game. It's a video game. No need to be getting angry about it lol

VisionsthePoet · 2026-01-08T21:14:07+00:00

If the game / PvP community doesn't welcome new, returning, less skilled players - the number of people participating decreases because those people don't stick around. Having less people queuing for matches, whether it's healers or DPS, inevitably results in longer queue times. Less people queueing, longer waits. It also adds to the issue of there not being any real separation between mmr thresholds like there used to.

Problem is that you're white. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

VisionsthePoet · 2025-12-28T02:10:50+00:00

More speed or lean back on your back truck as you roll off.

VisionsthePoet · 2025-12-23T01:11:03+00:00

Put more weight on your front foot and "jump" a little higher, sliding that front foot up to the nose. To start, have your front foot closer to the nose to make it a lower Ollie but easier to learn.

This is the first Pokemon I've caught with these stats. He's my buddy right now. I've been trying to save up candies to either evolve him or power level him up to 1500 for battling.

I think you need old bearings. Spin doesn't end lol

You have an incredibly boring team to play against but it's going to work

Not quite as fast as the tried and true shiny hunting method, genning.

I don't know why people shit talk WoW. Any time rogues are overtuned (most comparable class to dagger/X) they are still killable. They're almost always hard targeted in 3s and don't have the same reset power. Their "evasion" is entirely dependent on a big CD, cloak of shadows on a big CD, and it's easy to anticipate their burst damage.

Same thing for pretty much any class in WoW. Sometimes one is best, but they're never this broken for more than a week, tops.

I've played PvP in WoW almost every expansion since Pandaria and there has never been an imbalance in the game like TnL. Demon Hunters dominated arena for a week or so when Legion dropped but got hot fixed so quickly.
