Have they changed the rating gain/loss? -116 for 5th is ridiculous. When it was small amounts for 4th-5th, I could just about increase in rank, but now I'm not seeing less than 40 loss for 5th, and gains of roughly 40-50ish for 4th. Two or three matches where I'm offered chaff heroes and/or chaff minions, and that's a good three to four hundred rating peed away.
Thanks for that! Not a fan of it without an active squish, honestly, but explains things. Good to see Hearthpwn is keeping on top of reporting, and of the edit they made to the patch notes stating that the minions there are the golden variants.
Also interesting in that link is that 5500+ is the top 1.7% of players that have played 25+ BGs, which... surprises me.
I lost 5 points for coming in 3rd place. The new rating system might not work as intended.
I think a fair few of the higher/highish rated players aren't playing on mains due to fear of losing their rating, thus you're matched up against much lower rated players, thus you're predicted to do very well, thus if you don't, you lose rating. Had a friend invite me to a BG, got +0 for 1st place, for example - that's what happens when you play notably lower rated. Sounds like blizz want the ratings to cap out at around 5500-6kish, so will be interesting to see what happens after a wipe/squish, whenever that happens - probably at end of beta at the latest.

I got +196 for 1st place. So look like they did something that make score more drastic.

Yes. There is a post about MMR changes on reddit.
Thanks for that post. I was wondering, too.

I got +3 for being 5th, and it's not like lobby was pure trash as I was around 5.7k rating at that time

What in the lords name happened to the rating gains?
I mean, third game on 4th place, losing around 10-20 rating each time. Wasn`t it a win for 4th place? WTH?!
