Matchmaking coming in Phase 2! Our prayers have been heard

2 Likes

Just takes you to a Reddit post unless I’m missing something?

It’s a no-win situation anyway, I guarantee a lot of people aren’t happy with the change they implement.

No it takes you to a twitter post by a SoD dev. “We’re very excited to share more about Phase 2 soon, including a sneak peak of the new Gnomeregan raid, the Stranglethorn Vale PvP event, battleground matchmaking updates and more. Stay tuned!”

Well that sounds good, but “matchmaking update” could mean a lot of things.

Let’s hope it actually improves the premade issue. Sadly i don’t have too much faith into Blizz, considering their track record at anything related to PvP

MM could mean anything but implementing MMR is a straightforward solution to virtually all problems. It doesn’t matter why people win (skill or coordination), it elevates them and then the non-elite can play among themselves, fairly. We have a big pool of players so shouldn’t be an issue.

One thing I recall from earlier, is the lesser faction gearing up faster and automatically winning more, for a while. Not sure what to do about that.

Let us hope they just make us wait until the team has 2 healers, simplest solution. i’d wait 10 mins !

That’d be a bandaid fix and doesn’t touch core issues of the premade vs pugs situation. Basically because there are 3-4 problems at the same time:

-Team Composition, Gear Deviation, Skill Difference and sometimes players who aren’t even max level.

Implement a hidden ELO, set a timer how often matches get created and suddenly most of the problems disappear. It’s not like this hasn’t been solved in other PvP titles.

Have fun with your team having ret palas or enhancement shamans signing as healer just for a fast queue.

The allure of the solo queue and all it’s many enticements !

i did 10 solo games yesterday, gotta love all those sub 200s in L19 greens too. This and more is demanded by the solo snowflakes, how else can they pwn ppl in their lil’ pvp encounters in AB if not for massively overmatched gear :slight_smile:

You know what, I’m gonna do that just to tell the warriors and rogues to roll a priest when they complain about not getting healed.

If your goal is to be the most embarrassing person on the EU forum, you are doing a really great job. One just has to appreciate the level of awkwardness you put into your posts.

You poor baby ! Did i hurt your feelings ? Bless x

No, why? It was just a compliment on your hard work. I see, you don’t want to fall out of the role. Great job, just continue and a price will be yours. But be careful, there is high competition.

Careful now, you didn’t use your catchword for those who disagree with you, embarrassing tbh.

You disagree with me? Where? So you gave up that competition. It is a shame, you were on good spot.

if only that made sense. English is not your first language, so i’ll disengage.

Matchmaking just means you will have healers in your group while being stomped by premades I’m afraid

oh you work at blizzard? Nice thanks for giving us exact details. Could you make an official statement in a bluepost also pls?

I said “I’m afraid”. I didn’t say that’s what it means

Matchmaking could just mean it puts people with a similar iLevel together, until it mentions groups I wouldn’t believe it.
