PVP tanking

Unknown

Hi folks

what is the best way to lower your MMR now? I read on the forums that Ghast's method no longer works, but I'm not clear on what the latest method should be. Is it just retreating a lot in LRs / PVP? Or deliberately losing in some LRs?

Just asking as I farm LRs for heroic tokens since i'm still making the trnasition to 3* land.

thanks!!!

There is none tried everything with zero results.

I enjoyed pve until scaling. Pvp was my go to for enjoyment until the Doom tourney. Now? I actually think I ran out if fun things to do. I dont want play against 141s at all times.

This is just a second job now.

To be fair, it wasn't right that 3* teams could beat up on 1* and 2* teams all day by manipulating the rating. However, what's the point in progressing in the game if we're always going up against challenging opponents for the same rewards that a noob has available?

On a positive note, I don't have to waste valuable play time tanking anymore

Unclesam, are you saying that tanking no longer works for PVP MMR?

Seems to be.

In all of the LRs and the Falcon PVP I went directly from seed teams to 2x85 teams. Others with higher powered rosters than mine have said they did the same, except with 2/3x141+ teams.

I tanked some of the LRs. No difference afterward.

I think it mostly means that PVP will no longer be the big ISO farm that it was. You'll still be able to get about the same points and rankings, just can't grind away, tank, grind, tank ad infinitum until your coffers were overflowing with sweet, sweet ISO.

I noticed that the availability of higher point battles increased, too. Back when tanking worked I rarely got matches worth more than 25pts. Now I'm getting matches upwards of 45pts. I guess it's a tradeoff.
