Battleground Blitz was the most fun I ever had in wow. I’ve been playing this game for 15 years with my friends. We were getting queues in 3-4 minutes and that was hell of a fun. I do not care if the enemy team has 6 rogues and we have zero, I’d rather lose to 3 of the same classes on enemy and queue another game because the mmr system covers that. Just give us the old queue times please. Noone wants to wait 15 minutes for a game. This is going to be really really bad for the future of Blitz. Everyone will stop playing in 2 weeks. We had the same issue on shuffle. People stopped playing because queue times were long. Every game in history came to an end because queue times are long. People get bored of everything faster nowadays and you are making them wait more. Please revert the balance changes somehow and give us the old queue times. I just want to log in and play.
People probably stopped queuing for Blitz because of two things: they made solo shuffle MMR better and because of the bug that randomly kicks people out of Blitz (and SS).
Clever people are waiting for a hotfix, so they avoid queueing. That is why queues are now longer.
The longer queue time is probably because of the anniversary event. I’m sure when that blows over it’ll be back to how it was.
Sound about right, two days ago queue was on for an hour, yesterday (evening) worked fine, this morning around 10 I tested, no estimated queue time, waited half hour without a queue pop.
But then ppl cry when mmr gap is yuuuge
100% agreed, from average ~5 to ~10+ minute queue times is going to feel awful.
Revert it back. I play like pvp only and suddenly from 4-6 minutes queue I get 10+ … That is insane.
I’m pretty sad, too. Playing pvp only and it was great to play non stop blitz → blitz → shuffle → blitz → blitz → shuffle etc.
Now, I have like 10-15min gaps in between and getting bored af. Gonna quit because of queue times like I did the expansion before.
this is honestly so dumb. tHE whole bracket is blocked because of these random dissconncts and blizz can’t even make a hotfix ASAP
Can confirm that the queues are extremely long at the moment. Half an hour for a single game is not acceptable.
Revert this change, please.
Queues are long now and the mmr trench is still very real, a lot of people most likely just throw in the towel after 30-40 games and moving 3cr in total, leading to worse queues etc
I can not get how they managed to make the game even worse. Seriously. Revert this ôôôô back.
