-> Feedback thread with the goal of increasing Arena Participation! <-

let´s hope Blizz also cares^^

jeah, like i already said: solo queue has to be implemented into the already existing 2v2/3v3/5v5 and also RBG - brackets as a further option to play. NOT as something extra like RSS in retail. It has to be another possibility to play the game without taking something from the already existing system and further splitting the player base.

THIS! This is actually an extremely good idea. That way people can keep playing in the same brackets, without dividing the player base any further. But not just for 3s, also implement the possiblity to queue/play random for 2s, 5s & RBGs! This allows every twink and casual player to also play rated games. You also don´t ruin your serious rating if u decide u want to play a few rated games with randoms (at your rating) to practise/improve. Nobody can even complain about the unfairness of being mixed with teamed up people, since there would be two seperate ratings now anyway for everyone to see (u could also add extra titles for the solo rating). If the system just detects whether you signed up solo or in a team and accordingly adjusts the rating (after a win or loss) for the respective signup type then this would be the perfect solution for everyone. I think, having two seperate ratings (solo & grouped) for the same bracket would probably fix every problem there is (about a solo queue) and is probably the best idea/solution i have ever heard. good job!

I think there would be no downside with this for anyone and this (adding a solo queue without destroying the already existing systems) is probably the most important enhancement Blizzard can implement into the pvp scene and the 1. thing that should be done. Also with no downside for anyone would be:

2.: Add back the PvP tab to the LFG system.
3.: Allow us to search & play cross faction. (but only Arena, not for [R]BGs).
4.: Add back skirmishes and give us a bit of gold and/or honor as incentive to play them.

I think (almost - there is always someone special) no one can be against these 4 changes and they all would contribute massively to a healthier pvp community.

But with all the other changes proposed you have to be very cautious! Like with rebalancing classes, or weaken pve-items in pvp or even adding dampening and such stuff. There is a lot to disagree on and people will have vastly different opinions. If Blizz is not very very careful with implementing such changes then a lot of people could get really upset.
