More than the silly MMR and CR nonsense, it is the leavers. I am just simply trying to gear the pally and I admittedly am not the best, but I want conquest, and a smooth queing experience, hence shuffle after daily BGs and not normal ranked arena, shuffle is simply a bit more stress free as far as arena goes.
That being said, why do I NOT get conquest when someone leaves? I was winning 3/6 and had 3 matches left when someme left and got no conquest… I AM ONLY THERE FOR CONQUEST! Not too concerened about rating, so why must I suffer?
Blizzard were too cautious with probably cheaters trying to rig everything and help each other out to gear faster (that is all I can think of), but why does that matter at this point in the game’s history? Just let people get the conquest so they can gear, give conquest based on patterns on wins or straight rounds won so it isn’t so offputting when you lost 4/6 but still have two rounds left, and maybe with the better player in the lobby so there is some hope of gaining some conquest to help you gear… I HATE SS WITH A PASSION NOW, it is not even down to the silly players that leave and ruin it for us, it is actually blizzard and their absolutely stupid stance on NOT letting us just have fun and being rewarded for our efforts. I AM FED UP!!!
3 times more popular than 2v2, 4 times than 3v3.
People would rather wait 30 minutes in queue than to play any other mode.
It’s clearly the most popular and the best PVP game mode for most of us. It has its own issues, but it’s new so it will get better.
the fact that everybody does it doesn’t mean it is the best mode
everybody goes there to get rating and tmogs faster cause people don’t have the courage ( or not the time often ) to play the game to get hard things like gladiator, even though its a hundred time easier to get compared to before the 50 wins
it is for a fact the worst mode : you’re often forced to play with player that are indeed leavers but also could be trollers, or just really bad players you’re forced to play with, which is for a fact not the best scenario, isn’t it?
Also the mmr is doomed since, even though it’s the most played there are still " no one " playing it, queues are often 50minutes since nobody wants to heal there ( Kinda weird since it’s the " best mode " )
and I have a ton of other arguments but I don’t think you’d get them since you’re one of those who " enjoy " shuffle
That is kind of like saying “look at the participation. BFA must have had the best dungeons since every pvper is out there farming dungeons” when in reality you kind of had to. It was your own choice, but you really needed that getikku cut of death, voodo trinket etc.
Gearing a character from shuffle is a bit of a waste of time. Especially if you are learning how to play that character.
It is infinitely easier to just queue some 2v2 with a chill friend on low rating and get those instant queues and quick conquest. Pretty much the same for LFG conquest capping groups for 3v3. Was like 90 conquest per win or something, each game not taking more than a few minutes with instant pops.
And there you can actually talk to your teammate / teammates and say stuff after a loss that can make the next game not be a loss.
If you try to do that in shuffle you will likely get banned for being toxic lol
Tbh I’d really like to see them doing that, I’m not a rbg player mainly do for some fun and breath from arena but that would be great (can’t belive they didn’t do it arm).
I played 3 solos on my war and every single game there was a leaver at round 5-6.
Completely messed up my brain that I logged back to my evoker for casual PvP.
It’s ok to enjoy shuffle, a lot of the people commenting on these threads play it exclusively and have 2000-4000 games played on it.
There are many obvious flaws in the mode, but the biggest one is obviously the game mode being a magnet for people who are either too lazy to make friends and play the real brackets, or people who aren’t remotely good enough to do that just because they refuse to try to improve and acknowledge their own mistakes in gameplay.
OR there are people who can only play when they have the time too because they are not being lazy IRL, such as going out and sitting with family, working hard and managing their actual commitments in life.
Solo shuffle makes it easy for people like that to just get on and play, which is great because they probably cannot commit to specific times to play.
They made conquest harder to get in shuffle for the sole reason of keeping 2s and 3s alive. If shuffle is the most accessible tool, making it the fastest way to gear aswell completely invalidated 2s. While 3s still has the glad mount, 2s would prob off been removed. I dont think leaving PvP with only shuffle is a healthy thing, so thats why they did it. On the other hand i think they should increase conq gains in 2s/3s drastically to compensate, more then they alrdy did.
It’s an MMO. You’re supposed to play in group content by making friends.
But sure, use the " I have a real life " card. That’s fine.
It is very cute logic that logging in as a DPS and jumping into a 30 minute queue timer to play a 15-20 minute 6 rounds (which by the way may turn miserably wrong for you if you don’t win any of the first 4 games) is because somebody has no time.
It is even more cute to then come on the forums and complain about your Solo Shuffle experience considering you are playing with random people that play randomized specs which may turn your experience into a misery.
You get what you sign up for. You can pick what to order for food by scrolling through different restaurants, or you can go with “I’m hungry, I want to eat” and be delivered a pile of a random crap.
It isn’t always about commiting to specific times to play. It’s about having a friendslist that isn’t empty.
You want to log on and play instantly? Have people to whisper to queue up that are online and start immediately, know those people wont troll you and that their classes go well with yours
The reason ss is most popular is the fact of no preorganized strategies in the groups. You don’t know your team neither know you, and this seems to be preferable to people who dont really like much responsibility that should show otherwise.
Gotta inhale that copium hard.
