I don’t know which class you are, but I slap 20 iLvL higher people than me in arena, whether it my Frost DK or Retri alt.
Ladder is chaotic currently yea, there are many high cr people playing alts and ordinary players stand no chance regardless of iLvL.
Another issue is rogue-mage teams if we talk about 2v2, double mage teams in 3v3, there are too many of them currently.Unexperienced people can’t deal with such stupidly overtuned class that has access to unlimited CC spam and immortality, FireMage yeah. A mistweaver friend of mine quit the game because of it.
Still arena is worth the effort, the more you learn the more you start enjoying it. I enjoy more around 2300 MMR compared to 1700-1800 matches, we play against booster 3k rating Gladiators, constant CD trades, tactical fights are enjoyable. So don’t give up, it is worth it, all we need is a proper balance patch.
I hope you realize that itemlvl is everything no matter what secondary stats are. Your primary stats boost your dmg or healing way way more than secondaries.
Beocuse they done it in Legion and it failed. Players completly stoped doing pvp becouse you know wow is still mmorpg game so character progression is part of it no matter if we talk about pve or pvp.
Doesnt change anything about it. You gear progression is invalidated which is exact same thing. Both systems are gabage. You should rather ask Blizz to reduce powercreep. At best remove all difficutly levels and go back to TBC powercreep.
This insane 300% power increases in single patch is exactly what creates this giant holes between new players and old players.
But I’m p sure they won’t and rather will further increase the gap.
So next best thing and prob easier to implement mid X-Pac is scaling in rated so fresh players/alts don’t have their char progress halted by having to fight at 30+ ilvl disadvantage which I’m sure is rather off-putting for a lot of people
Cuttering game to new players isnt the way. Those people are minority. When expansions is several months old there is no longer any big influx of new players so allianate your current playerbase for few latercomes is bad idea.
Uugh the knowledge for pvp is giving me a headache just to understand how it works i find PVE easier in that regard i feel like mobas are easier then wow pvp nowadays at least i play em so i can say but the point is nowadays pvp is poop for new players or PVE players who want to get into it like me.
I kinda miss the old dueling locations for this. It was really nice to get the hang of what different classes can do and how to play against them.
Right now the only places you can kinda learn this is arena and random bgs and honestly BGs are a little too hectic to really focus on learning how to play against the individual classes.
Somehow for me at least that doesn’t work because I can’t follow what the player does so many animations happening on screen and it ends too fast not like in league of legends where the pro player actually shows you and explains every action he does and why he is a counter to him.
What i see on wow pvp videos mostly no talking just keyboard clicking sounds and swearing what am I suppose to learn there Haha .
No yt wow pvp videos apart from Swifty are not a good way to learn they play like mute ppl and i just yawn and click away.
Good for you I learned some stuff in the past by playing myself and watching a detailed guide back in wotlk not watching some mutes click random buttons on a keyboard how does that work?.
I’m not saying your method of learning is flawed i just don’t learn that way.
If it’s a higher ilvl, there’s no such thing as the wrong stats
Optimising secondary stats matters a lot less than it used to. Primary stat and stamina override everything unless you’re comparing 2 items of the same ilvl. It’s nice to get your perfect stats, but it’s not like BfA where you’d ignore a 20 ilvl improvement because the secondaries were wrong.
It is unlucky if you get a duplicate, or an item for the same slot you’ve already got a good item in though. The multiple choices are supposed to help mitigate that, but I’ve had a couple where there just wasn’t any good choice and I had to pick the best of 3 mediocre options.

and click away.
