I’d like to suggest the addition of unique colored Gladiator mounts for solo Shuffle and the upcoming solo Rated Battlegrounds. Season after season, I’ve missed out on these mounts because I struggle to form a group or find teammates.
The introduction of separate Gladiator mounts for solo rated PvP could have a significant impact. It would not only reduce queue times but also motivate more players to participate in these modes. Moreover, it would maintain the distinction for players who have already earned 3v3 Gladiator mounts.
For solo players like me who prefer the game without premade teams, it can be a daunting task to find random teammates and aim for a 2.4K rating against premade teams. The beauty of solo Shuffle lies in its flexibility – I can play it whenever I choose. I’m particularly excited about the prospects of solo RBGs.
Let’s make solo PvP more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
I am also favorable to all type of rated giving gladiator mount (SS , 2V2 , 3V3, RBG , rated bg blitz)
but multiple issue will rise up :
The queue time for DPS will rise up at a level yet never know that you will have to reserve a day to queue since all casual will want to solo shuffle for the mount
That bracket will attract so many player that the rating influation will spike and will make the top ladder reaching like the 4000 ratings , considering that 1400 is already given fr free maybe 60% of the player base will get the gladiator mount, resulting to have the same % of player having the rated played mount
the 3V3 bracket will empty and only E-Sport player will play each other , resulting to a group of friend of 3 meeting instantly pro players
I am really for the glad mount for every kind of rated since LFG is my worst ennemy
But the rated Solo Shuffle is currently not yet fully completed and miss incensitive of healers and until this is solved , glad mount for everyone will not be really possible until issue above mentioned has been solved too
I’m not pushing it because there are no rewards for me after 2.4 in shuffle. I got my weapon enchant at 2.1K and playing casually at the moment. That is why I said it will motivate people to push.
There is 2.4 weapons and gear effects for the pve sets and a pennant + tabard for getting 2400 why would they put the glad mount at 2400 in shuffle if it was added they would most likely put it at 2700 where there is no rewards.
I’m not interested on those rewards (personal opinion). I’m happy if they even put the mount to 3K rating. I just don’t want the game to force me to find or form a group for it.
Glad mount in shuffle for top 0.5% of dps specs and top 2% of healers and queue times will be fixed. Oh ye and also fix the damn healer MMR, that sh*t is unacceptable.
You got a point, but I believe there should be DPS lobbies (6 DPS) and healers should only join lobbies with a healer. This will make the queue insta for players. They can increase the rating cap for rewards for the inflation and it is already feels like a small group of people plays 3s and 2s.
Only certain specs benefits from that and will even make it easy for a selective few.
Healers prevent majority of it. So 6dps lobbies will be even worse unbalanced compared to 4dps 2healers.
Its atleast one way to cause even more frustration amongst players.
They can bring this in brawl mode and people can test it before it goes in the rated section. If it works, they can combine it with solo shuffle queue. It might work if they put only unique specs to the lobbies.
Which will still make it so certain specs have tons easier to climb which some specs already do currently in RSS. There is no way to actually make it “good”.
I can easily see rets for example obliterate lobbies thanks to divine shield/other immunities.
Sub rogues obliterating thanks to their stun/dmg combos. etc etc.
Without a healer to atleast have some way to negative certain things, like I said, a few of them will have it alot easier.
Unless they nerf every single specs dmg so ppl cant die in a single stun combo… then I have no clue
But ofc, they can try it as a brawl as you stated first but, I personally doubt it would ever work in a rated bracket x)
I mean I am all for more rewards and am happy if they implement a solo shuffle mount either at 2400 or 2700.
Problem is the same people that already get the 3vs3 mount will be getting this solo shuffle mount.
This will not significantly improve participation I think. But still I am happy if they implement this cause then pvp would finally get some attention.
Obviously they have to introduce a different glad mount for shuffle, not give out the same one as the one from 3s.
Since we are still on the track of recoloring glad mounts every season, they should just make 2 completely different mounts, 1 for shuffle and 1 for 3s and then recolor them each season, but have them be vastly different, to encourage participating in both brackets.
Solo queue rbg is it’s own bracket entirely, not comparable at all to arena. Idk what the track for that would be, but it would be kinda cool to keep getting flying mounts from arena and shuffle and then have them introduce glad ground mounts for the bg scene or something.
But since all of these changes would be good for the game and encourage some healthy participation, we all know, none of this is gonna happen. They’ll probably just slap the vanilla WoW bg titles (Grand Marshall, High Warlord, etc.) on the solo shuffle rbg and call it done.
It would also be nice if they made certain rewards character bound and not account wide. Perhaps that will encourage people to get good on their mains instead of fotm rerolling every season.
is making people create 20 new complain threads per day on the forums for how bad the gamemode is
looking for people for 3v3 that play at the same hours as you isn’t that difficult. The general queue times are evening to late night for everyone anyway.
every 3s team is premade on 2.4k, including one you would find yourself. It is very unlikely you keep hopping from 1 LFG group to another at 2.4k. Most people LFG to ratings between 2100 and 2250 and then find people to actually push higher with
great
whoever wants to play solo can play solo, the game should reward you for making friends in premade content, its an MMO its not league of legends
There will be no Glad mounts for Shuffle. The gamemode requires infinitely less skill and effort for DPS players to get 2.4 on. It is simply not comparable in any way.
Anybody who legitimately thinks Shuffle is as hard or harder than 3v3 literally has never played high-rated 3v3 in their entire life. People here on the forums are like “oh but you have a premade comp so much easier to coordinate blabla” - okay, prove your point and push it then instead of giving infinite excuses
But since this forum is filled with people who want easy quick rewards, it is normal to see these kinds of threads.
