1. Leaving arena and enemy +rating +mmr

    Thanks for finally fixing the interaction between one team leaving arena before the game has begun/damage has been dealt and the other team not receiving +rating but only +mmr.

    If anyone isn't aware yet, since a few weeks ago, the interaction now works in such a way that the winning team always receives +team rating, +personal rating and +matchmaking rating.

    Previously, the winning team would gain only +mmr but not receive any +rating for queueing and waiting for the arena game where the other team immediately left the arena before the match started or damage was dealt, causing the leaving team to tank their own rating and essentially just grief the other team by denying them any team rating gain, and yet still making it harder for them to get games by increasing their mmr which makes their queue time longer.

    Now, players who know they have no chance to win vs the hard-counter enemy team as soon as the gates open can leave honorably and get on with their queues without wasting their time and simultaneously feeling bad for griefing others and potentially having to worry about being reported for disrupting gameplay. Players who also want to do 10 quick games for their arena points flush can now do it without feeling the same as well.

    I just wanted to share my appreciation for this change and let people know that they can enjoy a much less toxic and unintuitive arena queueing system in future.

    you never won MMR if enemy team left before gates open
    you would see +number when the game end and think that you did win some mmr that game but no you didnt,
    if you went to website armory then match history of your character you would notice that your character had the same mmr the next game and your mmr didnt change.
    no one was griefing you , it's more like pvp is dead and people can barely get a q pop so they need to drop mmr in order to get to even play the game especially blackrock players since there is pretty much nothing else to do there other than arena
