hot take from the beefy tauren with a fashionable hat 
Solo is just meme man, have no idea why u can got elite rewards only cuz u got carry by better players. Its just joke, look at some peeps 2000xp in solo Q but never hit 1800 in 2s or 3s.

ya, ive seen the dummest ppl ik go 2400 as some dps
dh, uhdk, ww, fury, mm
ive seen personally how little awareness they have in real arenas but for this they can go 2400 as playing something easy dps
Ye u got my point here! Solo is just about bully lowest player six rounds in row, woah sounds fun for me.
shame its no fun for the heals at all 
we just gain 3/6 while dps go 4/6, dps climbs heals get 0+
or the mmr matchmaking throws u kebab lobby like this h ttps://ibb.co/QXxvmjZ
its a joke 100%
Why are people even taking solo shuffle serious? I just use it to get conquest points ,to get gear ,dont give a flying f about the rating or how it plays in there
Im satisfied as long as i get conquest and honor for it , people should really see it as a easy way to gear , nothing else , just setting yourself up for disappointment if you think competitive about it
I think the regular arena ladder is just dead right now , because i suspect most people are playing alts and just gearing/having fun
Remember its been some time since , we had this kinda freedom in the game
People will get into normal rated again , if they want improve themselves , i hope at leastâŚ
normal 3v3 is just a mount bracket for me rn
Will never take it serious after i get the mount from it
Isnât that what Rated Arena is for most people as well?
I mean, if you donât have a guild/community/friends list full of hardcore Arena players ready to play with you on a whim, then you probably rely on scouring LFG for any random people to group with that seem mildly within your own performance level.
How is that any different from the solo queue system finding random players for you that are mildly within your own performance level?
Plus, unless you play with old friends who you can always practice and learn new strategies with, then your Rated Arena gameplay is probably not very different from your Solo Shuffle gameplay, is it? You pick and agree on a target to focus, and then maybe you switch target dynamically during the game if an opportunity opens up, but otherwise itâs all very much âon the flyâ. And that seems to be the same whether itâs Rated Arena or Solo Shuffle for most players.
Cool if you feel Rated Arena is superior and itâs for the elite and the hardcore and the skilled players. But in answer to the title of the thead: Does Solo Shuffle kill 3v3 Arena, the answer is most definitely yes, yes, and yes. Because most players arenât elite and hardcore and skilled players, so they donât give a hoot about the perceived superiority of Rated Arena. Given the choice people will obviously settle on what they think is most fun. You choose Rated Arena, and evidently lots of other players are choosing Solo Shuffle as their flavor of fun.

But some people in soloQ are simply not able to focus even on the right targets! Several times it happened to me that the druid cast a cyclone on a focused target after I turned on the burst, as when it happens for the first time, I take it, everyone makes mistakes. But if the person repeats it three times, then itâs over. And it didnât just happen to me once.
In addition, soloQ does not give the same rating, several times I had players in it that needed 300 ratings less than me.
And of course itâs fun for solo people when they get free carry and elite rewards for nothing.
If soloQ wasnât rated, everything would be fine, people can play it just for fun, and we who play pvp for a long time will also be satisfied.

Itâs a random format with random players, expecting anything with regards to performance is silly. You go in there and you do your best and try to work as well as you can with those on your team, and then you get a result in the end. Thatâs the experience.
If you prefer the more organized and practiced approach with clear communication, then Rated Arena with your long-term friends is also available. The two formats donât have to compete on the same terms. They can be different kinds of enjoyment for different kinds of people.
Thatâs probably due to it being the beginning and players are going in there with no established MMR, so ratings fluctuate a lot. Itâll stabilize over time. And Iâm sure Blizzard will make tweaks and adjustments accordingly as well, given that the format is new.
Thatâs silly.
You get matched as well as in Rated Arena. Itâs one automated Blizzard queue system versus another.
And whether people search for random people in LFG to play with or get matched with random people in Solo Shuffle boils down to the same experience either way, the accessibility is just greater with Solo Shuffle.
So how is anyone getting carried in Solo Shuffle? If youâve played 100 games, then the one consistency of the outcome of those games is always going to be your own performance. Thatâs quite contrary to Rated Arena where you can set up your team to accommodate yourself â hence why weâve always seen numerous examples of carrying, boosting, and win-trading in Rated Arena.
I think people like the fact that Solo Shuffle is rated, because it provides a sense of character progression and a goal to strive toward.
Without rating, then Solo Shuffle is basically just Skirmish Arena, and that already exists.
You see, your problem to be as a Rated Arena player is that you bargain from a position of weakness. Youâre the one whoâs (going to be) dependent on the Solo Shuffle players wanting to play with you, otherwise that Rated Arena is going to wither and die. But if all youâre offering the Solo Shuffle crowd is belittlement and condescension, then theyâre just going to say no. And thatâs ultimately your problem to contend with.

I am 3 times Elite person on 2s bracket, basically every season I play I am Elite which means Iâm above average Warrior, some people say top 1-2%. It doesnât mean that I wouldnât be able to succeed on 3s bracket I basically put minimum effort into it but this still means it is extremely difficult for especially an average or below average player.
Whether it is schedule problems or impatience, it is not easy to be a 3s player. Solo Shuffle offers a solution to all those problems premade 3s has. You can play it on your own pace with a fair matchmaking system, every person plays with the same trash player in order.
3s community gatekept too many people, perhaps they have valid points, they may not want to play with inexperienced players etc but naturally that comes with a consequence which is less interest in 3s bracket.
I still think it is good to have both 3s and solo shuffle, having options is good for playerbase, just make your choice whether you want a premade environment or random.

ur right if solo shuffle would represent 3v3 arena but it doesnt so its just an muddy openworld pvp battle theres nothign strategic about it its not as coordinated i think highrated players just thought it would be like private servers but probably the skillcap on retail is just much lower than the average prealm player
or maybe its because prealm had less ppl

solo shuffle should not reward you anything you can get from 2s or 3s, no titles, no elite gear, no mount, , instead add something completly diffrent cosmetic wise to the player base and let them have fun there, but make it so that the most appealing game mode is st ill 2s or 3s, 
if some1 came to me saying hes 2.8 XP and i see him on fomo class solo shuffle with no 3s or 2s games above any rating i would laugh hard at him , i bet some people actually takes solo shuffle rating as a proud thing they got XD, its the least proud you can be in any game mode
