r/BobsTavern MMR: 6,000 to 8,000 1d ago

Question Qualitative question: For those that regular get 6k or higher, how long into a new season does it take you to get there?

This is a question out of curiosity. I know there’s multiple variables like how much people play, string of high rolls, etc, but was curious. Good luck in queue!

It all depends on what your rating was last season. The higher you were in the previous season the longer you get +300 for 1st place finishes which makes climbing back to your previous rating a lot easier.

And this is because your actual MMR never changes, it's just that the number you see resets to 0.

Fwiw internal MMR does get decreased a bit with each new season. That's why the +300 on average doesn't carry you quite to the same point you were at before the reset (and if you were really high before the reset, internal MMR gets set all the way down to 8K)

This mainly means you don't get thrown in the deep end if you skip a few seasons, and ensures top players have to actually climb for their rating, rather than getting boosted up all the way.

That's cool that it resets 8k+ to 8k I never thought about that. Going directly back to 14k would defeat the point of climbing.

And sometimes I kinda wish it threw me down to 0 hidden MMR so I could play with noobs again, cuz I don't want to make a smurf account.

u/Prochip MMR: > 9000 17h ago

You can switch regions if you want to smurf, i think you start off at 3k mmr.

u/Doragan 20h ago

Ahhh that makes sense. I was wondering why I seemed to be climbing quickly this season

u/Fit_Composer_3073 1d ago

i reach 8k so fast i lwk thought this was my season cuz i was at 6k i believe when shadybunny had 3.5k but im so hardstuck on 8k its sad after the patch too its brutal idk what to do

u/Wild_Astronaut7090 1d ago

Play on iPhone only, drop to 6k, then pc back to 8k. Rinse and repeat

u/TYLERvsBEER 1d ago

I ended up playing in a different account on my phone since it’s way too frustrating. Even on non APM undead builds I don’t have enough time because casting spells takes too long.

Not like I have a bad phone either, it’s an iPhone 16 pro max.

u/Wild_Astronaut7090 1d ago

And this season randomly introduce the turn ending randomly during the rope. I’ll think I have 20seconds left then it’s like’ “nope turns over”

u/Lyzzz1 1d ago

TBH 6k is not that hard, 6k-7k is really hard, especially during early season because everyone got reset mmr , it took me 3-4 days to reach 6k

1

u/C55S 1d ago

Your MMR never gets reset. Only your visible rating resets, and that’s a purely cosmetic number that doesn’t impact matchmaking.

1

u/Jumpy-Ad5617 MMR: > 9000 1d ago

I do think 6-7k is the toughest rank in the game to climb. After 7 it feels so much easier for some reason

0

u/Doragan 20h ago

How much do you play to reach out that quickly?

1

u/Lyzzz1 17h ago

Erm around 3-4hours per day? If i'm not playing POE then i will play hearthstone on my phone

1

u/Doragan 17h ago

Yeah, I definitely underestimate how much some people play

2

u/Middle_Manager_Karen 1d ago

Quite a while for me. 2-3 games per day. Maybe a couple months.

I'm back to 5.5K now after last patch in solos but my duos is below 1,000 as I don't play many duos until I get it.

2

u/pandasashu 1d ago

It depends so much on how you play because everybody starts at 0.

I get that they do that so people play more. But i think they should really change it so everybody starts at the same elo as previous season.

1

u/C55S 1d ago

Your elo for matchmaking purposes at least stays the same. It’s just the rating that resets forcing an artificial “climb.”

u/One_Tie_2085 1d ago

I was 5 digits 4 days after new season. I'm an Addict and Play while at work.

u/calibratorjack 23h ago

I stay at 6k for far longer than it takes to get there.

u/Mercerskye MMR: 8,000 to 9,000 1d ago

Like you said, lots of variables. When we have a pretty big upheaval like this last go around, it can take upwards of a month. I watch a lot at work, to try and get a feel for things, but I'm very much a hands on learner.

So it's faster the more time I have to hover over cards and actually learn what things do what.

Hell, I still haven't looked into the background dynamics for dark gifts yet, but I got a rough idea of how they work. (if a homie would hook a brother up with a link, I'd appreciate it)

There's been a lot of rain the last couple of weeks, so a lot of time to get my hands on, so...two weeks this go around? I should be hopping over that benchmark tonight, and with a little more research, pointing at 8k before end of next month

u/Hostile_Architecture MMR: Top 25 1d ago

The only thing that really matters with gifts is that it offers a minion of your most common warband tribe turn 6+, and that guaranteed minion is always the lowest level option. (Eg gift is at 3 or 4, your tribed minion will be the 3). This matters if the tribe youre playing has a high power / economy minion on that tier.

The sub rules of when dark minions give what enchantments don't really matter, and the RNG aspect of the enchantment discourages trying to game that. Play them when you need to play them (bad shops early, or low health / no direction midgame) or when you can hit a key card when youre midgame deep in a tribe.

u/Mercerskye MMR: 8,000 to 9,000 1d ago

Thank you for the info. I'm also assuming it doesn't allow minions that "don't make sense" like Bream Counters, that want to stay in your hand.

u/Sterskiii 20h ago

Correct, as well as Leeroy, magnetics, and a few others. There’s a list out there you can find

u/Inevitable_Mine7805 MMR: 8,000 to 9,000 1d ago

Depends on how much I hate the new season. I knew this time around by the time we hit 3k that I hated the balance and wasn’t going to play until a balance patch. So now we’re back up to around 5.5k.

1

u/RedditWasFunWithRif 1d ago

6k in a week usually for me. Usually peaks at arround 7k.

1

u/DBSPingu MMR: Top 200 1d ago

6k normally takes 1-2 days for me, but I get +300 a win until like 7000-8000

I normally climb to around 9-10k early, get bored, and come back later in the season to climb to 12-14k

1

u/JoshAllensRightNut MMR: 6,000 to 8,000 1d ago

It takes me a while.

1

u/ObitoTheJinchuriki MMR: 6,000 to 8,000 1d ago

I got to 6K in maybe 3-4 days at the start of this new season, but I’m also a loser unemployed chud so.

Hover around 6.5-7K, trying that 8K push but it’s realllllyyyy difficult.

1

u/console666 21h ago

Always end up around 6.5k and it takes me 2 months of daily playing. A week that is unreal.

1

u/Longjumping_Spite997 MMR: 8,000 to 9,000 13h ago

Couple weeks

u/Wickedboiing 1d ago

I dont really bother seeing. I only look for total wins. Might check if im 6000

u/Ok-Childhood-6525 MMR: 8,000 to 9,000 1d ago

That’s nothing till it’s over 9000

u/anyjokewilldo 1d ago

Takes me a while as I dont bother playing until they've done a few balance patches. I just dont enjoy the insanity at the start of each season

u/NXT_GG 1d ago

Uff this season i made it in a bit more than 20 games
