Why? Don't you know that I don't like it? It makes me nervous and uncertain. I will now write a post on reddit.com about it instead of sending you a message over the relevant chat system so that I never have to actually engage with any real answers about this, or come to my own conclusions about why you would be doing this.
Yo. Going for an elite set and generally think that Blitz has been bit easier skillwise for me in the past so tried my hand at that this season. I waited till I had full honor gear and enough Conquest gear to walk in with a weapon -- not sure if that's proper or not so I thought I'd mention.
It's been pretty tough. I haven't been keeping track, but the majority of games have been outright stomps for the enemy team, and my team *always* gives up if the first clash+round of objectives doesn't go perfectly -- and I mean perfectly. I have had people afk because they felt underhealed, or because they didn't like a talent someone picked, or because the two "right" people didn't go to offcarts, or because the enemy team has "better classes", etc.
I had assumed that a 50/50 WR would be easier to achieve in Blitz than random BGs because there's no faction bias thanks to mixed teams -- should mean even if one side/faction is better, you'll get the "strong" side 50% of the time and all the players in a grab bag either way.
I'm also someone who doesn't really get "mad" at video games nowadays and I don't rage/afk. I might not be the best strategist, but I try to show up where I think I can make a swing, call incs, call information, etc. I don't mention this to be patted on the back, just wanted to illustrate a couple more things that I think would draw me to closer to "better than an average 50/50 winrate".
I was wrong. Very very wrong. Currently 2 and 11(!) this week and just feel a bit depressed. There's a part of me that thinks starting over with a different spec or a new character would simply be easier, but I also realize there's a good chance that the real answer is just to get good, as I struggle to climb up to even ~1800 in Shuffle.
I'm a retadin which, if anything, has made this process more exhausting because I know the class is viewed as super easy to play, but ccing healers/constantly pumping out protection/freedom/doing my pve rotation ain't getting me winrate.
Just at a loss at what to do, really. Feel free to dump tips, advice, and "holy shit this guy must not have hands"es in the comments.
