Blizzard am sure will not lift a finger for WOW retail rated 2v2 and 3v3 bracket to fix the mmr as it is abnormal since several seasons already, simply because blizz are focused on the other two wow’s they have.
Also being lazy is another factor. We used to have up to 3600 raiting in 2v2 and 3v3, now the maximum is 2600 in 2v2 and no matter how much you play you don’t feel rewarded in the end of all.
The other problem as many discussed we don’t have matcmacking system for 2v2 and 3v3 without shuffling teams. The rated pvp feels more dead than ever, confirmed by many players it is not my sole opinion. What killed the rated 2v2 and 3v3 bracket pvp is NO matchmaking system, solo shuffle, blitz rated and the other two wow’s killed it.
We used to have 4 season now we might have 2 seasons only as the new expand is on the way.
We must get with every expand every season 1,2 new arenas and definitely more content. The new lands and arena can be developed by AI in minutes and then tested for few weeks, it is not rocket science.
Instead we get no new class, barely 1 new arena per 2 expansions. On top of that every new season we should get new materials for all professions, new ore, new leather, potions etc. Because only when the expansions kicks off you can make gold that you need for enchants, sockets and so on I spent 1 mill as I have several chars. Now in S2 will have no new materials for the professions, only old mats that blizzard killed the economy on the AH not the players, by destroying the prices to 1 penny, and now you can’t make any gold at all. There are no BOE if you farm trash on mythic raids, no BOE epic in open world, what to say with every next expand and season blizz is killing the game more and more until hits rock bottom, as I feel it is there right now. Not to speak about pvp balance, I was reading the last post from blizz for S2 about warrior how big is the problem with surviving, and they will improve that. How? they added the option to choose talent 5% more armor or something, basically are doing nothing warrior is going to be at the bottom of the ladder. As it is at the moment 4 classes are boosted by blizz feral, ww, hunter, mage and that is it, everything else is struggling in the 2000 mark not of missing skills as a player, but because blizz decided to nerf it. They always support and buff classes that R1 players are playing as mage, rog, feral, hunt.
Moreover TWW expand has the ugliest lands of all time, low quality graphics everything looks super ugly.
If you go to the lands of Shadowlands you will see a person with good sense and taste created the lands, amazingly pretty even older expands had more beautiful lands. The 4 lands we have atm are super small as well for the skyride mounts and little as number. Before it was more fun without these server layers one over another, you had great pvp fight in the open world. Not to mention some of the 40s bgs are still unoptimized and run on virtual servers and you get 40fps with lowest settings on rtx 4090. The mind control in arena still disconnects people from the game 20 years later, nobody decent developer fixed that.
Also we get new arena in S2 which is nothing special quick and dirty job to be honest, cutting corners job, and the total number arenas will be the same as atm 1 arena is down for 1 or 2 years already some bug they can’t fix. Blizz is blizz they know best downhill downroad in their development. Many many players are purely pvp and this community is big however the most attention blizz pays is on mythic+, others like us are ignored. The best thing I can do is just to play another game. The old blizz employees for years are no longer in the company and we can feel that since many years. Right now in 2v2 or 3v3 rated arena the stress and pressure is so high in 2 secs one can die, and you have no pleasure to play, always under stress. If we had matchmaking system stress will be less as you have option B, if the guy leaves you, you get a new player instant or maybe after 1, 2 mins in the matchmaking system
