I don’t think that many people will miss Shuffle at all, it’s literally the worst implementation of a soloq known to mankind. The mode was played so much because it was much easier to push ratings there than in the other modes, simple as that. Now with Blitz being easier to push rating we’re seeing Shuffle dieing in lightning speed

Aye, either I hated playing it as healer or I hated playing it as dps after waiting 50min que for it and witnessing someone from my team randomly die behind wall 20sec from start. For blitz I have 1-5min que as dps even middle of the night 3-5am and lose or win I get to play approx 5-8min and have fun so it dont really matter to me in the end if our team wins or not, its pug soloq gameplay and I treat it as such but I get to play for 5-8min duration and press my characters buttons and stuff instead of just watch rounds end in shuffle when someone goes die behind pillar after every dps waited 50mins for it. Cant think of worse designing for arena type mode than shuffle, its a complete utter failure and made all healers pretty much hate the game through df for 2 years so good riddance for that mode really.

To be honest, with the rating difference between Shuffle and Blitz alone it’s obvious that Blizzard wants to tell to move on because they don’t want to bother balancing around arena anymore. Everybody except the terminally online arena forum poster gets it.

there is many because they duo, every single healer is playing duo i guarantee it…
And why shouldn’t they after being treated like pure **** for all of DF? 
because they are getting flamed in bg blitz too
I don’t know why is dead, only because of bad balance. But I like format. Is awesome!
tbh im tired of ehalers too, i often see a huge disparity in healing sin bg, and because how busted healers are that decides 90% of the game we are playing
im tired of forcing myself to win impossible fights, only to lose by default cause we have 100m healing, and enemy have 250m healings… it doens’t amtter how many ccs, how much dps, or how many knocks i land, enemies just wont die, and im dying fron 1 corruption 1 agony and 1 haunt

Isn’t winning impossible battle glorious?
i win the fight but lose the war. thats what i meant
i win the 1v3
and my team is whiped and the rest of the team nukes me
the now, i find it pretty annoying
I came back to retail in DF to try shuffles on a new account but when you sit 30 min queues and the pop rather disturbs your youtube experience you end up just quitting pvp alltogether.
Came back in TWW and RBG solo feels abit better i guess tho its more casual content than shuffle so
Its actually sad how so little people understand this. Damage so cranked up that you have to make others unable to play the game which is probably the worst possible solution. Micro cc and novas / slows count as hard cc in this day and age. I mean its declining for a reason, nobody has fun playing thaz except ure not affected by it.
People enjoy PvE cuz they get to play the game. Crazy. CC was never a problem, the 5 sec cc nerf also killed arena just btw. The problem is micro cc and the amount of small things that make you take your hands off the keyboard or make you go outfight mid fight. Its just bad.
If you wanna know how class balance and arena should be go back to mop, everything else is only a downgrade anyway.

I don’t mean that healers get flamed but that their rating distribution has been a disaster for all of DF. You can see that even now how underrepresented they are in the top 100 leaderboard compared to Blitz (despite Blitz requiring less healers). The devs said something like “we’re looking into it” regarding healer MMR in Shuffle, turns out it was more like “we’re looking into it and decide to do nothing about it”.
what should i tell you. look alone into PvE “their main game” blizz simple are hating healers
maybe they have a challenge to make the game for healers as unfun as possible
currently the mmr in shuffle is anyway capped, i doubt blizz is aware of it, they are busy watching sigma shorts on youtube
