Solo queue killed RBG

Where are the players in RBG 10vs10?

Should Blizzard make a bot programme if you wait in queue as 10vs10 for more then 20minutes!

The player base is dead! where are you?

Another thing what is all this 10vs10 gate keeping? shame on your people!

Thanks!

yes, solo Q rbgs obviously killed voice chat 10v10 RBGs because WoW is a game filled with introverts who would prefer to sit alone with a pizza getting rating xD

So yeah itā€™s a sad reality but unless blizzard changes how PvP works fundamentally, this is a reality thatā€™s here to stayā€¦

I donā€™t actually support the idea of bots being given as your opponent if the Q lasts more than 20 mins, but I do think that blizzard should do something to mitigate this unbearable problem XD

Maybe blizzard should fix the droppers that lots of boosting teams used to do in Shadowlands & Dragonflight, then maybe, just maaaaaaaaaaybe, RBG will be re-ignited and successful once more.

Nah boosters arenā€™t the reason 10v10s are dead, itā€™s just because people love battlegrounds but they hate the process of making a group and having to do voice chat and get yelled at by 9 other dudes in normal 10v10s.

The recently introduced ability to Q with 7 random players and not have to voice chat with anyone else has opened the doors for a LOT of introverts who would rather just Q by themselves

I mean, imagine having to wait 30+ minutes to then face a group of Gladiators/Hota/Hoth to stomp your face in because they decided to drop down MMR in a ranking that they donā€™t even belong.

solo Q rbgs are even worse for garbage losses though?

Imagine being a great player but because youā€™re just playing by yourself you get Qā€™d with 7 idiots who canā€™t play the game, so you lose because youā€™re trying to carry the whole damned group

No, it happens because was some kind of a request from players, and this request happened (why exactly people wanna solo Q) because to much toxic players.

If blizzard truly wanted to incentivise Rated Battlegrounds, they ought to improve it.

trueā€¦ very true

I am actually disgusted of what they did to PVPā€¦ I donā€™t play PVE, PVP is all I do, and now 10v10 which used to be the most fun RBG in the game, is dead because of the Blitz Solo bgā€¦ which is GARBAGE!!!
Not to mention the amount of cc in the game at the moment, it is a game of who ccs first and most, no other skills needed, they should rename this game to WORLD OF STUNNCRAFTā€¦ you fly around, you get dragged, pushed, pulled, stunned, feared, cyclone, sap, disoriented, stun again and there you goā€¦ off to gy you go! Why they give so many ccs to all classes only their sick minds know.
A cooldown on cyclone would be good at leastā€¦ monk healers are impossible to kill, mages are so OPā€¦ DK is so OP. I mean the game is so broken at this point. Not to mention boosters and pre-made cancers in Epic bgs killing the fun and pleasure of gaming for all. Imagine being a new player joining this freak showā€¦ and they are wondering why they are losing so many players.
To remove the PVP vault was another DUMB idea, the weapon quest on the other hand was quite nice.

But yeah, 10v10 rated battlegrounds is now dead, the fun is over and when you get groups to play against those are boosters.

I beg your pardon mate, but Solo queue: Blitz or Shuffle is FULL of toxic players anyhow, so I donā€™t know how this was improved.

Was way better playing RBGs (10v10) with communities, guilds, friends on Discord, people you know and have fun with. WAY LESS toxic! Not to mention that you can filter the toxic ones, kick them from communities and Discord, how can I filter so many ones now in Solo? My ignore list is already fullā€¦

Iā€™m sorry to tell u but rbgs have been almost completely dead for many expansions now. The participation has been extremely low and there was usualy 3-4 teams looking for players in lfg (which is nothing).

Blitz is actually bringing thousands of players back into battlegrounds.

It sucks for those very few that still liked rbgs, but blitz has been a good thing for battlegrounds to get abit of attention.

I guess only remove rating. :slight_smile:

Wasnā€™t World of Warcraft supposed to be about teams, people, friends online you can have fun, chat, talk withā€¦ and play with???

I think the reason of this is not that they are introverts, I think is a language skillā€¦ so many not speaking English, and so this is leading to pros and cons of having cross realm bgs and contentā€¦ Russians are playing like they are at BlizzCon, and no one can even tell their names. And they are maybe cheating as wellā€¦ like the boosters are using scripts (but this is from a different movie :P), German, French and Nordic players: NO ENGLISH skills at all, and yeahā€¦ this is the main problem with joining a voice group.

Anytime over some screaming manchilds whose whole life depend on their wow pvp achievements

Man, you must be dreamingā€¦ ā€œRBGs ARE DEAD FOR MANY EXPANTIONS NOWā€???

What are you talking about, even in Dragonflight I used to SCROLL through the teams in LFG interface, now all you have are 2-3 10v10 teams forming and 2-3 people looking for healers or a partner in Blitzā€¦

I understand you love Blizz, I do too, I adore them, playing this game for 19 years, but letā€™s not kiss that aā€¦ so fast though. They brought people to Blitz and thatā€™s it, NOT to battlegroundsā€¦ 10v10 is dead and being killed by boosters anyways, Epic is dead because of the pre-made teams (not all the time though), Solo shuffle is the most toxic thing ever, soā€¦ what they improved? I hearā€¦

Wow has a real tendency to form clique old boys clubs whenever there is some group forming required, canā€™t raid if you donā€™t have years of experience from known guilds, canā€™t do 3s if you donā€™t know the ā€˜ā€˜inā€™ā€™ people, canā€™t join RBGs unless youā€™re already from an established team

Of course people jump on any chance at a solo experience they can get their hands on, itā€™s their only way of playing the game competetively. Why go through a job appliction form in your free time on if youā€™re worthy enough to to RBGs when you can just press play and get into a game in 15 minutes?

Exactly! Sign at every word here.

Tbh I actually like the bg blitz, in all the years i played this game I saw over 7 pvp guilds disband and just gave up on looking for a new one.
So itā€™s a nice addition to have.
