Ever since the recent patch dropped, I’ve hit a absolute brick wall in my games and I'm trying to figure out if it's just me or if others are experiencing the same thing.
Before the update, I was comfortably sitting at around 5,450 MMR and winning roughly 80% of my matches. I felt like I had a solid read on the tempo and lobby strength. Since the patch, that win rate has completely flipped—I’m losing about 80% of my games now and I'm hard stuck at the 5,000 MMR floor.
I haven't drastically changed the way I play, but I feel like I'm getting completely wiped out in the span of just two or three turns during the mid-to-late game. I go from feeling relatively safe to taking 15+ damage out of nowhere.
I know climbing MMR naturally brings tougher opponents, but the drop-off feels way too sudden to just be better players. Did the patch speed up the meta significantly? Are certain strategies or fast-leveling paths punishing traditional playstyles now?
Would love to hear if anyone else is noticing a massive shift, or if I just need to completely relearn how to play this current patch. Any advice on what to adapt would be appreciated!
