Could we get 2v2 solo queue?
DPS specs only. Quick 2 round games, 2 range, 2 melee. Both players have to die for a round to be over, so 1v2s would be possible.
Rounds;
R1, M1 vs R2, M2
R1, M2 vs R2, M1
Also, allow queuing for 2v2 and 3v3 at the same time, and the 3v3 queue would just pause whilst you play your 2v2 games if that pops first.
Just gives dps a quicker queue with little impact to 3v3 as 3v3 queues are so long for dps anyway.
This would be the dream. Blizzard has had this unhealthy obsession about 3v3 being some kind of perfection bracket, first removing glad from 2s and then removing 5s entirely.
5v5 was always too busy imo. But yeah, there should be Glad titles for 2v2. Even if it was different to the 3v3 title.
that would be great
It might kill the 3v3 queue though and healers will start to complain
To be honest, as a healer myself, i am starting to wonder if healers being part of PvP was a mistake. They have been problematic since the very start. Just like tanks. But unlike tanks, healers were accepted early on. Despite being the source of many problems in PvP.
Here is a suggestion. What if we get rid of healers entirely from PvP (i.e nerf them into the ground) then reduce damage done by a ton. Like 50-80% reduced damage across the board. Stuff like DPS cooldowns would no longer be overwhelming, but still deadly.
Some dps specs could keep their healing, but be much weaker at it. Like Ret paladins would have a 10-20 second cooldown on their heals. This would also solve the problem of hybrid specs being immortal if their healing is only slighly overtuned, and dead weight if it’s slightly undertuned.
Reducing damage and healing across the board would open up the option of having different archetypes in PvP that cannot exist in a burst heavy meta, while simultaneously fixing the problem of dampening ruining healing based dps specs.
This is going a bit off-topic but, I have always hated healers in PvP, and as previously stated Blizzard has this idea that 3v3 is some kind of perfect state of PvP and all their balancing happens around this, so it puts us in absolutely tedious states of the game like healers being unkillable 1v1 just because you can kill them in 3v3 so nothing else matters.
To me PvP is the most fun when people drop dead, when heads roll. Because of this obsession with 3v3 healers are even banned from 2v2 skirmishes because Blizzard themselves recognize this is NOT enjoyable gameplay.
I will say I think healers are great additions to BGs but any other aspect of PvP I rather they just go on the bench like in 2s skirmish.
It wouldnt if you could queue for both and it just pause queues. Healers get instant queue right now, so even if it means a 5 minute queue for healers, it will all even out imo.
I dont think healers should be removed or nerfed in PvP. I just think a solo shuffle 2v2, dps only queue, would fix the long queues. They would only be short games and something to keep you warmed up whilst waiting for the 3v3 queue. I know you can queue skirmishes whilst waiting, but you earn practically nothing from that, so having a rated 2s queue would make it more interesting.
I think theyre needed in 3s to make 3s interesting, otherwise its just which team can blow up which faster, with little to no set up needed. But I agree theyre not needed in 2v2.
I would rather have solo shuffle vary between 2v2 and 3v3 the same as skirmishes do for faster queue times.
That’s not a bad idea. If there are enough healers to start a 3v3 game, do so, otherwise put players in a 2v2 arena.
Yes please
Albeit my dream is caster only queues 
I’d very much like 2v2 solo queue.
Though I’d hate if it would only be for DPS 
I think one of the problems with solo queue though is the fact that some comps are really bad, while others are really really good. So it would be a lot of luck involved.
I think a system somewhat like in solo shuffle would be a fair way to do it though.
I personally like solo shuffle, but I like playing 2v2 more than 3v3.
I would love 2v2 and BGs rated solo queue. 
I’m starting to feel like Solo Shuffle was a mistake due to it’s flaws such as rating distribution, long ques and overall messy gameplay.
I wish they’d replace this abomination with soloque RBGs for few reasons. I’d like to have arenas focusing on premade settings and I have a hunch that people who don’t like using LFG would enjoy RBG ques more. This would serve as a doorway into rated PvP or at least satisfy the itch to have queable rated content.
2v2 Solo shuffle dps mode sounds even more horrible.
Im down for Solo RBG queue. Think thats a definite need for that game mode tbh. However, I wouldnt want to remove solo shuffle arenas because using LFG is a nightmare, and can actually take longer than the solo shuffle queue. Not only that, but LFG seems to be full of rank 1 players or everyone has super high exp. Its all rubbish as well. You can search them on 3rd party websites and see their exp, so theyre not fooling anyone. This could be fixed by showing players recent exp when you hover over them on LFG tool. Like it could just show last season, and max exp with the expansion the max exp was acgieved in. That would be a good addon if someone could figure that out.
i think most people would queue it for a week, then realise its unenjoyable playing constantly 2v2 double dps against double dps.
would die out quickly
2v2 solo queue would be great. I can’t stand waiting in 3s solo queue for 20min as DPS. And the LFG system is broken no healer wants to play with you unless you have glad xp. Please implement this blizzard.
