I’ve completed all of my healer elite sets, just as I usually do (keeping things casual, you know), and I’m pleasantly surprised by how most of them look. Oh, and I managed to snag my PvP enchant for the second time now, so that’s a bonus!
Now, how’s your progress coming along, you lovely folks? 
I’m most definitely not summoning a female Night Elf Druid whose name conveniently starts with an “A” whose purpose in life is to haunt our shuffle ratings. But, you know, with my somewhat lackadaisical summoning skills, anything’s possible! Apologies in advance for any unexpected encounters.

Pretty boring tbh, sadly i dont main S tier broken specs. Almost at r1 cutoff, obviously the game need to punish me into 3x caster lobbies twice. Not to mention both lobbies the mages went 6/0 blinking every global, and aug passively making everything have insane armor so i do negative dmg and then dispelling my burst.
Other than that, its going well.

Thank god I have buddies to play 2s and 3s with, I don’t think I would still play this game at all if my go-to was Shuffles as a Healer. The only thing it’s good for is gearing alts, which isn’t really an issue at this point in the season anyways. Overall, it really just isn’t my bracket, I’m glad they at least somewhat fixed it’s rating compared to normal 3s.
Also waiting for our Druid buddy to show up

Pretty good so far, I still have to get that stupid flag - but then, it looks rather stupid when moving around so I’ll probably never use it just like any other flag in the game - but hey, have it or don’t right

I mean i have no urge to play 3s, didnt que this entire season, ill prob pick up the glad mount last week or smthn, but idk i feel kinda burned out.
3s is kinda dead and shuffle is literally RNG simulator, the only way to climb is hope for decent lobbies and a streak of them theres really nothing else to it. Atleast thats how i feel at high mmr. Theres just lobbies where I believe even if ure the most godtier warrior u wouldnt win them, just doomed from the starting room unless someone dcs or throws intentionally.
Like my last few lobbies, if 1 of them were good id just sit on my rating and quit the season but obviously i got back to back bad ones so now i have to keep queing, its just degenerative design. MMR also feels way too punishing still, its nothing compared to last season. Ure heavily punished for every loss and going 6/0 nets u like half of the mmr it did last season, feels pointless like pointless agony.
Ye sadly 3s is pretty dead compared to previous seasons, even compared to the last one, which already had low participation. Augmentors being literal flying prot Paladins also doesn’t add to the fun for me, pretty much every Aug comp is pure aids to queue into imo.
I see the point about shuffle lobbies being way too rng. If you end up in one that isn’t 2 melees 2 casters, you just know it’s gonna be a shtshow. It’s one of the reasons why I don’t like the bracket, you literally just spamqueue while hoping you get a few good lobbies back to back. Then you also have leavers, flamers and matchmaking throwing healers and dps with up to 500 MMR difference into the same game. I really don’t hate myself enough to be doing this kind of self harm haha.
Shuffles as a healer is definitely… an experience lol. I struggle the most as Resto Shaman, and unironically it was the easiest and fastest one (with no gear) that I received my elite set on lol.
His haunting is ceaseless…
Shuffle is the epitomy of “u think u do but u dont”
Why people defend it is because its accessible, it doesnt really add any fun elements besides frustration.
People cope thats it was good for the game because people now have an easy way of earing rewards by just fotm rerolling. Its a poorly implemented game mode, which is way too hard to balance because u also need to balance for 3s/2s.
If they want to keep shuffle they need to balance seperately from 3s or just quit balancing for 3s and only do it for shuffle because this middle ground isnt working.
i just finished two lobbies where i got griefed by healers, and i logged off
first lobby, i go 3-0, and when its my turn with the other healer, he afked and lost us every fight.
second lobby, one of the healers was full blue with no enchants or gems and clearly just gearing through shuffle and his record was 3-15 in shuffle. We would die within seconds, and i lost each match with him while winning the remaining.
both of them were high experienced players, but they just griefed the lobby
so ye shuffle is awsome
I strongly believe there is a consensus view amongst players that echoes shuffle didn’t “improve” the game, however its QoL to press a button and play (when it pops…) Sitting in LFG and not playing isn’t fun, imo. Until LFG gets a big change I think SS won’t be dethroned
Kinda meh
I hoped Solo shuffle would be a more casual focused bracket fun and easy to progress with nice unique rewards for each season but it’s not.
It is quite brutal full of toxic tryhards and very hard to progress (the amazing MMR system).
I got what i wanted form the brackets i play but it was a horrible experience.
Not fun at all.
This season really burned me out.
I’m starting to wonder… is it really worth it ?

“Maybe I’ll play my priest to 2k, don’t need that many wins”.
First game:
“PRIEST VERY BAD”.
1500 hunter.
Doesn’t press interrupt.
Doesn’t turtle.
Doesn’t trap.
Doesn’t kite.
Went 0-6.
They need to just stop these people from queuing solo shuffle or at least from being queued with healers that are almost 500 rating higher than them.
i queued up as disc priest with full blue gear since i hadnt played this season yet
got thrown into a 2.4 mmr lobby and went 0-6
queued up again and got thrown into a 2350 mmr lobby still being like 439 ilvl, went 1-5
logged out and canceled my sub again
The moment i pass 2.1k mmr i basically have a guaranteed full melee (i count hunter in this because it’s physical damage, i know they are ranged) lobby (with a few exceptions here and there) and if i end up in UC map it’s almost always a guaranteed 0-6 because i can’t kite.
Yeah and then there are these glory moments
Guy went 0-6. I wonder if he also flamed the other dps players of the lobby.
Quite well. Got into the top 10, but the top 25 are quite inactive and I’m waiting 40 mins at 2.7 cr for a 2.5-2.6 lobby
I mean that’s what happens when they just blindly increase MMR for everyone instead of just active characters. Had exactly the same happen on my alt dragon, very first lobby this season and I started at 2350 MMR. Like how is this fair with full blues and 0 set items?
yeah idk, I took a break after season 1 and didn’t do a single arena for like 3+ months, so this was not the most fun thing to try to come back to lmao
Full of toxic players like always, not a fun experience if u dont use /mute all
Classic Sl season 2 Glads
