Please can we stop having 3x melee and 1x caster dps for shuffle, it needs to be balanced with 2 caster and 2 melee, or else it just turns into a gang war on the caster. ZugZug is not good for the game or solo shuff, it makes it very unenjoyable.

Lmao.
As a healer I don’t really care, but did you really think that queue times were too fast up until now?

Won’t it only hurt the melee que times since apparently there are way more melees queing up than ranged? Caster que times will be improved then

Not really, because if there’s no other caster to queue with, the game won’t default to giving you a melee to fill the gap for a faster queue, and will instead make you wait an additional 10 minutes to find a caster in your MMR range.
its not that bad
its fun playing ranged and coming across 3 warriors…

i would say 2 warriors with either disc priest or Pre evoker , gl getting your cheeks ready to get nuked , you escape 1 spear and disarm the 1st one , not to worry other one can spear you and both have mobility of husain bolt always can connect and if you got a bad healer on your side gl losing instantly.
i can deal with other classes but the way how warriors can connect with mobility its mad

I’d rather have better games than shorter queues,. Plus the thing increasing queue times is the relative lack of healers, not DPS.

Gets slightly better at higher rating, at least I don’t have my melee partner trying to PvE the healer down alone while I get my guts rearranged by 2 tunneling melees at 1900.

It’s like they literally gave some melee all these tools to deal with Frostmages specifically, but in the process way overdid it and forgot about every other caster that might like 2-3 seconds during a match to actually play the game. Like, why does a Warrior need 6-7 gap closers they can pick at the same time and use back to back?

at what rating they stop doing that and start playing as a team?
last time i played my caster on pretty much 80% lobbys into 3x melee they were still doing that on 2.1mmr something
i mean whenever i see some guy about to go 0/6 i do my best when his on my team to spam fear and stuns and peel do my best to buy us time
sometimes i go 5/6 cos of it instead the usual 4/6 what meathead dpsers usually go cos they cant peel for jack even if the win depends on it
As a frost mage you should never lose to a warrior or any meele, ever. You have 3 times the tools to destroys us, without ever getting hit.
I will actually delete or quit this char, because its impossible to play with a frost mage or ele sham in every SINGLE lobby, just to lose 300 rating with zero counterplay. They either need to buff warrior magic defense or buff mobility in some way or nerf mage defensives/mobility. There is zero chance to even catch, let alone kill a frost mage right now.

war mobility increase we can throw out the window right away
so thats check 
You absolutely mental bro. We are talking about soloshuffle. Not 1v1’s, BG’s, 2’s or 3’s. The mid spectrum of arena is overflowing with Frostmages and all sorts of casters that DOMINATE cause it’s so fun to play. Oh wait, no it isn’t.

Simultaneously, as a melee. Trying to go into the open and connect to a target only to get blasted by chaos bolts, or get a full row of affli dots on you, rotting you down. When you get close to the lock he just ports away. Or uses mortal coil into a fear. Or succubus seduce.
Or having a mage blink away, then hit you with a slow. Or dragonsbreath into a ring of frost. So every time you are in line of sight you just get blasted.
My point is, what you describe is how bad casters experience it. What I describe is how bad melee experiences it.
The worst part about it is that neither of them seem to realize its because they are bad, not the game.
I play monk, where I do both healer and dps. And I play priest, where I do both healer and dps.
I used to think all my issues were due to OP classes or bad team mates. Turns out, when I started examining my gameplay, I realized I’m pretty bad as well. The upside is that I can’t control the mistakes of other random players. But I can control my own mistakes. So by focusing on them I can maybe start to get somewhere.

1000 times this. People need to stop being delusional. This was the same thing in League of Legends S1-S2-S3 back in the day. People were talking about “elo hell” all day long and blaming everyone and everything else. Rank 1 players are rank one on the soloq ladder, top streamers are top in the soloq ladder and the bell curve is the same shape.
I still don’t understand why people are complaining about “OP specs” when the ladder is based on specs. You can be rank1 on a “dead” spec or rank2521 on an FOTM one. Why people are trying to compare a 2400 DH rating to a blood DK 1800 rating is beyond me…
Also soloq is the most competitive format EVER since you need to carry others to progress while in 1v1 or preconstructed many vs many there is no reliance on others really. And people are still expecting to “have fun” and “just q and chill” in soloq. Wrong gametype I’m afraid…
