Ok, I'm a few cups into my night a decide to break shields and play a bit.

I start at 794pts.
I win a few, loose a couple, buy healthpacks, win a few more and climb to 949 (ye, one short of reward) play a game and find that I've been beaten back down to 794pts.

How is this fun?

If we're expected to not play this game more than an hour a day this new mmr and shield cooldowns are working as intended, otherwise it's time for some drawingboard time at D3 hq

    Sorry but I have to ask how many battles did you try when you broke shield? In this enviornment getting 3 matches in without getting hit when you are above 800 is golden. It sounds like you played 5-7 matches and that is just asking to get lined up fo wushi finger hold and "SKADOOSH"!!" You got hit.

    That's entirely true, but I think that's also the OP's point. They want to be allowed to play more than 2-3 matches at a time before being forced to spend more HP on shields and also put the game down.

    One thing I've suggested before is some kind of limit for how many points you can lose in a given timeframe. There's nothing worse than pushing your score up, only to find you've lost anywhere from 100-300 points in the time it took you to play a single match. 300 doesn't happen much BUT IT HAPPENS. It should never happen, and the devs should implement something to make it so.

    Exactly, tbh I'm all for a bit longer games, fielding different teams and such but the pvp game is still set up for fast games+shield hopping and with the 8hr cooldown one can only play 2-3 matches and wait.

    I like this game and I'd like to be able to be able to play more once I reach 800pts.
