People are living longer out of the midgame due to removal of cannon. This means later tiers are more diluted. Basically more people are getting to tavern 5. With Megasaur gone late game shifts are not really a thing. So basically if you get to turn 5 with a comp and the game doesn't offer you the correct minions. you lose.
the RNG has shifted from the midgame attacks and tokens to the late game builds.
inb4 someone says something about, well in one game this happened.
Track your games on a spreadsheet and record what the build was and weither you were offered minions that allowed an ingame transition or not.
I wasn't actually playing any particular builds there. I was just trying to survive (by buying anything that would keep me going) and usually by the time I had a chance to buy anything specific, I was already dead.
Have you tried watching streams of 11-15k players? They bomb out like you describe too, but you should be able to pick up some tricks about how to played each hero, which minions to avoid and how to level up and make transitions. As described above, they rarely get to level 6 anymore, for example.
I have really enjoyed the metagame atm. Sure, highroll murlocs often win, but there are many different ways to do well.
6600 IS your MMR rating in Battlegrounds. It is only in the real game it is "hidden."
Also, be careful about confirmation bias. As you climb, every little mistake become more costly. Maybe you had a lucky streak to get UP in MMR? Maybe you are tilted? Maybe you got unlucky? You need more games and focus to even things out.
I also lost a few points lately, but nothing dramatic, but it just seems like my playstyle is not quite as effective anymore.
