Replace solo shuffle leavers with people from the queue

[Mewithoutyou-ragnaros]

Hello,

I’d like to offer an idea: when somebody leaves shuffle, find a replacement from the people in the queue and ask “Do you want to join a solo shuffle game in progress?” but with incentives:

• you can’t lose rating at all, even if you lose all remaining rounds, you can only gain rating/conquest
• you gain instant queue for the next lobby, regardless of the outcome of the lobby you joined in progress

Do you think that would work?

Cheers

They did this with LFR and then players would refuse the queue and rejoin again.

When they anonymised it, they would leave upon which the developers added the 30M dungeon quitters penalty to it as well. But if you finish doing the LFR you would be prioritised for a fresh raid.

So I think the latter suggestion could be good to assist with leavers. But I’m not sure about the first part of not penalising on loss, there would be potential for abuse (players joining then going AFK/doing as little as possible) and so on.

This could be abused, imagine if you only accepted only in progress queues as you literally can’t lose rating/mmr, worst case you stay where you were. And of course ignore all the normal shuffle queues to prevent the possibility of losing.

Just turn it into 1 round instead of 6…

Just remove shuffle, its a pointless game mode and has only harmed the health of pvp in other brackets

The other brackets are basically people play until you lose and then they leave.

Ironically, I’m slowly starting to get a grip as a Healer and the fact that it’s instant queue is actually pretty decent

No thanks. I would unsub immediatly. There is no way im joining lfg again for 30 minutes, only to play 1 or 2 games because people rageleave.

I’d prolly stick around for some pve at the start of each patch and then cancel the sub till they come up with something new.

Most of the homies quit the game, I play some casual 2s from my FL a times. Shuffle just cuts out the hassle of looking up someones WoW CV, they look up mine, it takes time, we play, we win, we win, we win again, we lose, one guy of 3 leaves, and we have to go over the whole process again. Nah man. Just let me hit the button and let me play. I don’t want to do HR work in my spare time.

People being stingy about CR difference when the XP is there (talking like 50 to 100 points here, if even that), but gladly hopping on when the CR is higher… The LFG system is just outdated and cumbersome.
