    Hearthstone Battlegrounds MMR Updates

    Battlegrounds MMR Updates

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:59 PM PST

    Greetings Friends!

     

    With the launch of today's patch, a Battlegrounds MMR change accidentally found it's way in as well. While this change was still going to happen, it was meant to go live after we messaged out what the change was… apologies on that!

     

    Now, let's dive into what actually was changed.

     

    The Problem: Players at very high MMR were continuing to climb by playing lots of games. Despite playing against players with a lower MMR, the MMR awarded at the end of the match was still very high.

    We got feedback from several of our top players asking us to adjust this downward, even though it will lower their rating and climbing speed after the change.

     

    The Solution: At very high MMR, you're more likely to matchmake with other players that have an average rating above or below you. In these cases, the multiplier has been greatly increased.

    In the old system, if you played against 7 opponents with an average of 1,000 rating below you, you would still get ~90% of your points for first place. In the new system, you will get about ~50% of your points for first place in that same situation (please note that these numbers are not exact). So, if you land 8th place when playing against 7 opponents with an average of 1,000 MMR below you, you will now lose a lot more points than before.

    If you're paired against opponents with an average rating equal to your rating then nothing changes. This means that players around 3,000 - 5,000 MMR will not see any difference.

     

    TL;DR: Players with very high MMR will see a change in how many points they are awarded at the end of their matches. The majority of players will not see a change.

     

    In the future, we are considering an MMR normalization pass. What this means is that we would bring in everyone's MMR closer to the 4,000 range.

     

    We are continuing to keep an eye on MMR and how it affects your play experience. We hope you enjoy the balance changes and we'll see you on the Battlegrounds <3

     

    Cheers,
    The Hearthstone Team

    Did Blizzard make a mistake? Aren't these the golden versions? Taken from the latest blog post.

    Sn1p-Sn4p out - Can we have old Reckless Experimenter back?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:47 AM PST

    Reckless Experimenter was such a cool card before the nerf. We know it had been nerfed because it was pretty much broken with sn1p-sn4p, but now that Sn1p-Sn4p is out the problem is gone.

    Reckless Experimenter by itself made several cards (like Voodoo Doll and Eggs) playable in priest, and that's pretty much what a well designed card is about!

    Zetalot tweet about it: https://twitter.com/Zetalot2/status/1202668356240842752?s=19

    Edit: ofc sn1p-sn4p is NOT out of the game, but you get the point; the problem with it has been addressed

    Thank you, Hearthstone team.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 02:09 PM PST

    This 5th of December update announcement has gotten me about just as excited as I was for the Dungeon Run game mode. It is absolutely incredible!

    The team has listened to us and just gave us so many things we asked for!

    • We got Wild Packs purchasable with gold.
    • We got old adventure style back.
    • We got Sylvanas as a hero
    • We got a good amount of free packs with legendary quests and 3 on release.
    • We get ALL 5 Galakrond heroes on release for free.
    • We get Tyrande again, and for Free! With her card back.
    • A huge wild problem, Snip Snap, gets addressed and fixed.

    I don't know what to say! It's just absolutely incredible. So many good surprises. Thank you Hearthstone team. I am going to purchase something this winter to show my support, because I want to show that I highly encourage this.
