Hello. I will apologize for my English before hand.
So, my brother decided to try WoW when TWW came out and he mainly wanna do PvP like i do. He played 1 season in DF and that’s it.
So i tried to “teach” him how to do Dmg and the defensives and offensives that classes have so he can learn to play around those.
We played alot of 2v2 and 3v3 and then he decided to try some solo shuffle by his own and he got to 1500-1600 rating and asking me why he only got 10 rating when he 6-0 a lobby.
I tried to explain to him that MMR is all sorts of arena is trash.
Here is the problem, he is a new player and have no clue and instantly thinks hes bad at the game cuz he can’t get past 1700 in 2v2, 1600 3v3 and 1600 shuffle.
He is a very fast learner and should actually be higher rating if he played in a different expansion.
But he already is talking about quitting/waiting untill it’s fixed, cuz it’s no fun when you get " hardstuck " so fast.
Why do blizzard " Cap " MMR?
Are they afraid that 0.5% more people is getting Gladiator? News flash, no one cares. it would just ecourage more people to play = more fun.
The point im trying to make is that new players / PvE players trying PvP, they don’t wanna keep doing it cuz you can’t really get any rewards, a few good/top players can get it.
I know MMR gets better the longer the season goes on, but it should absolutely not be like that.
If they just increase MMR by alot, more people would play, it’s kinda obvious.
Isn’t that a good think for a company that rely on the number of people playing?
More = more money for the company.
So please…
Buff MMR in 2v2,3v3 and Solo shuffle ( Shuffle are the worst atm )
They said bg blitz is the futur of wow, so they probably try to let other bracket die so it’s easier and require less time/work to work on 1 bracket than multiple and different game mode.
Also classes/spec design is made around pve (I’d say more m+) and bg is more a pve game mode than any other bracket, so in terms of development it’s clear.
Not saying I agree cause I don’t and still think solo mode ruin the game itself since the beginning but it is what it is.
you guys give blizzard too much credit. they dont have a plan for pvp. the reason solo shuffle MMR is bricked is simply because no developer has looked at it in weeks and any that have do not care. where are you gonna go? no where. there isn’t a game like wow arena. if you’re bought in you’re not going anywhere.
if you think from a “company perspective” i think they are right
i have played some bg blitz, and i have to say, u HAVE MANY casuals there, what dont even know how a Bg or the game works
(which is good, and bad in some way)
the good thing is, u have the Giga big casuals there, they are the majority of the game
the bad thing is, some of the peoples can cost you a game
i think to get peoples back into pvp/ casual Bg is the only way.
Arena is a dying thing sadly, even when they could fix the main issues so easy there
if it comes to the Quality of the game 100% but if it comes to promote cheap stuff to get free game time because every Timmy can get those pvp rewards really easily in bg blitz
it was smart by Blizz when it comes to make as much money as possible in short term they cant hear us anyway because they have money in the Ears
