Shuffle revamp

So, hello.
I thought how we might actually reduce q time in shuffle and make it equally fast for all players.
First of all we need to rebuild the role choice system and make it similar to rated games in MOBA games. When all 6 players join instance they are offered with all of their characters list to pick a role whereas 2 must pick dps and 1 must pick tank/healer hopefully healer. Yes 1 should be victim, but that’s the way how all competitive pvp works, teamplay and team responsibilities. I am 100% sure there always will be 2 people among 6 who are mature enough to take most undesirable burden(healer) on their shoulders.
What you think about it?

That is the most stupid idea I have ever read.
How will you force someone to take tank heal when they don’t have this spec on their class? Even if they have the ability to play tank or heal they most likely don’t have the gear for it. Making them lose points.

Go touch grass or level a healer yourself of you can’t stand the queue time but pls never come back with such a horrific idea

sounds very good to be an enhancement shaman and be forced to heal with your dual wield or?

So, besides the obvious “you’d have to have 2 classes leveled and up-to-date geared” and actually being able to switch between 2 completely different playstyles every other game - how would you calculate mmr? For your entire account? For a specific class? What if you 2200 healer, but a 1100 at dps?

Imagine if they actually added that. People would cry so hard about their class not being a hybrid, folk pressing /afk if they were forced to choose a healer every other match and the best of all - rise of protection warriors. That sounds extremely fun to watch from a distance, I hope they actually do that!

You can choose any of your characters, Mr Discoclown. If you don’t have it then you will wait q as usual 40 minutes+. I already play healer, no need to be rude, Discoclown.

This sounds more like “queue up on multiple characters at once” than a “choose from a moba-like roster right before the start of a match”. Which is a pretty dope idea, but my gut reaction says this will be impossible to program into current wow seeing how character-depended everything is.

I understand your point. That’s really quite an Issue. In that case general mmr will be required which is really absurd. I just offered a possible direction, all these details we better put to devs, cause they are getting paid for it :slight_smile:

The problem is that people don’t queue in Solo Shuffle due to poor reward cr/MMR/per hour. You can play 5 hours per day and just gain 0 CR due to 3/3 and only 5 CR for 4 rounds won, which is kinda hard for some specs to achieve. It is faster just to pick up a few randoms from LFG and spam normal 3x3 and gain x3 times CR/per hour.

I mean sometimes I play a game on my phone Mobile Legends, Dota like game. And there while playing rated games you need to pick the role after entering instance lobby, and sometimes it’s quite funny how people showing their inner child refusing to pick some important roles as tank or support, and pick dps only and in that case game is automatically cancelled and you return to q. People there also get mad and raging about someone taking their role and not being able any other role than what they have always played with. But I mean, it’s fun. Especially as you say to watch it from a distance

Ah wonderful that means classes with 3 dps specs get to play dps every game while others are forced to play healer.

:smiley: The reason you have long queues is because you are not that mature. This doesn’t require further testing :smiley: DPS brain goes brr

Who said I have long qs. My qs are from 1 sec to 2 minutes. Hopefully you would figure it out what that means. I am just offering some changes to badly constructed (because of us players) system.

There are several uses for the word you in the english language, doesn’t always mean YOU, Anateoris :slight_smile:

Oh, My bad :slight_smile:

The real revamp is binning solo shuffle to re-fill the other brackets, the game isn’t fun to play with pre-mades anymore since the minute you push 1600-1700 your fighting r1 glads / blizzcon levelplayers now.

What makes it attractive is the concept of solo,which makes you feel independent. It is just more comfortable and hence more populated.
