Beyond of tired of 1.5k stuck apes at 2.3-2.4 blitz mmr. Blitz is a sh*tshow where it’s 80% luck for comp and players you get matched with, not skill. Unless you are playing a carry class like rog, mw or boomkin, good luck having enough impact to offset the noobs

That’s not the only problem. Now I had a 2.3 cr mage in the team who asks what side carts are and doesn’t know that he needs to stand inside the circle to cap the cart. I thought he was joking until I checked checkpvp 
And then someone says that blitz is not an absolute joke.

Blitz is supposed to be a casual friendly mode, with access to the rated content, exactly how solo shuffle is, the fact that people still treat this as a hardcore rated mode, is beyond me, perhaps maybe focus on the normal rated battleground/3s?

Casual friendly and totally clueless people on 2.3 cr are two completely different things.
2.3cr players are pretty much rival players + 500 points of inflation. That’s how inflated blitz rating is atm.

Not in blitz this season, no. Everybody and their mom has 2.4+ in that bracket.
This is why cr is just something that needs an overhault. Why not have ranks like in league where inflation never matters and the ranks are tied to % of playerbase queing into it.
cause blitz beeing at 3.7peak atm means that 3kcr blitz is what 2.4 is in shuffle (in theory)

How is that expected to work with people who don’t do arenas?
And also in practice.
Yes, please. That would be great.
Something like:
Unranked: You start here by default
Combatant: Top 70% of a bracket
Challenger: Top 40% of a bracket
Rival: Top 15% of a bracket
Duelist: Top 5% of a bracket
Elite: Top 2% of a bracket
Hero: Top 0,5% of a bracket
With cosmetic rewards tied to each of them.
and special R1 titles for the best of the best at top 0,1%
Elite should mean something. There shouldn’t be seasons where it is basically free like S1 blitz and then others where it is completely unattainable. Even in the same season, but in different brackets. Try getting Elite in premade RBG this season. Like 20 players have it in total.
i said in theory cause shuffle requires diffrent set of skills than bg blitz depending on what class^^
Just my humble opinion, but …
You guys do realize that solo shuffle and blitz were added to allow for more players to have reasonable access point to get the rewards, they would otherwise not get and bother to get?
I mean, from business standpoint it is clear as day. Why bother with something only 0.000 zero % of players engage with when you can have mode that by design is more engaged as it is simpler, dumber and rewards are actually reachable by majority of its clients?
I mean, go ahead change the reward system to be based on seasonal cutoffs, but then don’t be pikachu suprise faced when nobody cares, including the owners of the product you play.
PS those who pay for the bills on this game, don’t really care about skill or prestige or whatever nostagia you guys have
