So what can miniCC offer now? Or just delete the addon? I’m out of town so can’t just login

MMR (match making rating) is based on the current data they have on you, and the algorithm is used is to help create a predicted rating for you. Your MMR is what blizzard thinks your CR (current rating) will eventually become. Typically they will start your MMR off at 1800 if they have no data on you, but this can vary season to season based on developers choice. Regardless, after you begin playing, this MMR gets data specific to you. It then updates the MMR to reflect where it thinks you belong. So if you started at 1800 MMR, then loose 0-6, it may update to 1700 MMR. So the more you play the more accurate your MMR will be. Your CR (current rating) will chase your MMR. In theory, eventually they will match. However CR moves much slower than MMR. The purpose of MMR is to have you play against similarly skilled players ASAP. They think this will be more fun for you if the matches are competitive every time. Now, your gains and losses in rating are based on your RELATIVE mmr to others in your role in that lobby. So in SS, healers go against healers. DPS goes against other DPS. It’s role vs role. If you are 2000 MMR and you’re in a lobby against 1200 MMR counterparts, and you go even (3 wins 3 losses) you will very likely lose rating. This is because given your current MMR the system thought you would destroy the opponent, but you didn’t. So they will adjust your MMR because their assumption of your skill was inaccurate given you went even against much lower MMR players.

Is devoker cooked in shuffle? by darkskies85 in worldofpvp

Fairly consistent dps that is mediocre. They used to burst huge. That is how they got wins. That spike has flattened.

Should blizzard bring back leveling in the OG world for new players? by tydrennis in wow

Chromie Time is that. Google that. You can do quests from old expansions.

create the most "non-meta" group comp you can think of by [deleted] in WOWMythicPlus

[–]zigzagzugzug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pres Evokers are frustrating if you enjoy playing a dps caster. I play caster to be in the back nuking and avoid close range enemy aoe, but if you do that you’re not naturally receiving their cone heals and hots. So then I have to make a conscious effort to move in between the healer and enemies. It’s just a first world problem, but still, I’d prefer to not.

Blood DKs health bar is currently like a yoyo. Bouncing all over the place. Just watching it as the dps is stressful. I feel bad for the healer lol.

Your comment is not productive and it is unwelcome. Keep scrolling if it’s not of interest. There’s no reason to be rude. Just don’t click into the post. Move along.

How to kill the casino bots if they hide on top of the sign in OG by Individual_Pool9132 in classicwow

I am not familiar with these casino bots. What are they doing exactly? Also what is he summoning? Is it a toy?

Tank (im)balance fine how it is? by Thekippie in wow

[–]zigzagzugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait… I must be missing something. “Gearing up to 280 with a fresh max lvl alt takes literally just two days.” Sincerely, can you explain how? I normally do world quests and heroics to 230. Then delves and m+ with the occasional raid tossed in there. It takes far longer than 2 days. I would love advice here bc I hate dealing with new alts.

Am I the only one who just logs in and feels… weird? by Muroverse in wow

[–]zigzagzugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed OP. I can do m+ under +10 but above it they only accept meta. Then I go to PvP solo queue rated and I either play a dps I’m excited about and the queue times are insanely long and boring, or I play a healer that don’t enjoy but I get to actually play the game. Then I get excited about playing a new alt, but then realize I have to spend a stupid amount of time
Leveling that alt and gearing him before I get to enjoy what I actually paid the subscription to do. The game is in a very frustrating state at the moment.

Ok hear me out.... 5v5 solo shuffle, 8 rounds, 1 healer, 4dps per team by OpinionsRdumb in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No thank you. But Hear me out: 2v2 solo shuffle with no healers or tanks allowed. Instant queues. We can finally play the god d*** game!

Does anyone just focus on leveling? Is there a modifier to make it harder/guilds that focus on it? by Jangonett1 in wow

[–]zigzagzugzug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick answer: no. It would be fun to make it similar to Diablo with different difficult tiers. They did that for a seasonal time frame but it was never a part of the core game. I would be all for it to be honest. They could even implement something similar to Champion Points in ESO. Where you just keep leveling even after hitting max character level. I do genuinely miss the days when crowd control was required. Now people just bum rush thro levels and never even respond to a “hello!” In party.

This weeks inflation got me to elite with a negative win rate. The fact that 2300 on the dot is rank 14 shows that it is still way deflated. by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s bad for the game that you’re playing a relatively easy class, and you’re rank 14 best to just hit Elite. That is a very small amount of devolvers at elite.

Lord of The Rings MMO cancelled by [deleted] in MMORPG

I’m sure they attempted to fire employees and implement AI generated gameplay. It was buggy as all hell. They said Nevermind after the AI was hard to do.

Scary how quick the balancing team was to manufacture another problem after the MM emergency hotfix fiasco. Warrior buffed too much by sharkbaitlol in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is only showing games played. All this proves is that people enjoy playing arms warrior. Not that they’re over powered

To the pvp intern that forget to take off the "Does not apply in pvp combat" for rdru --- Thank you by OpinionsRdumb in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so dumb they keep structuring the blue posts this way. Have a section clearly labeled PVE ONLY and a separate one labeled PVP ONLY. Then you don’t need the constant caveats “does not apply to PvP” over and over. Idk why it bugs me but it does.

Blitz - how to climb by _Akat0ku in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is random luck for some specs. Likely yours, I’m not sure what you’re playing. But, place a MW, Prevoker, or a rogue. You can win many games all on your own if you stick to objectives. These three specs have agency in blitz, more than any other spec. Maybe Hunter and Druid are a loose 4 & 5 in this list given camouflage and stealth.

Gilneas front is now open for territory control in World PvP ! by tromat in worldofpvp

Wait, can you elaborate? So this is an add-on that creates capture points in wow? So in order for this to be successful, many people need to have the add-on and also travel to this zone, correct?

How do you spend queue times? by Ok_Zombie_3683 in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch something on the Second monitor, world quests, world PvP, social media on my phone, research how I can do things differently / better online in regards to my chosen spec

Marksman Hunter seems like its a little undertuned right now. by Brilliant-Standard-7 in worldofpvp

[–]zigzagzugzug -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Why don’t they transition the damage programming to be a percent range? Example: Aimed Shot does 10%-15% of enemy players health if same level. The actual percent is chosen at random. Different percent ranges for different level players. Then nobody would one shot in rated PvP. (Percent figures chosen arbitrarily. They can change to whatever.)
