Solo Shuffle should be 1 round and renamed Solo Arena

PVP Arenas

  1. Will mathematically reduce the que time
  2. Will reduce the toxicity of playing with players who do not compliment your playstyle
  3. Will reduce the toxicity of playing with/against teams that screw you class balance
  4. Will reduce the toxicity of players due to only having 1 bad game
  5. will allow for normal MMR system making 1/6 and 2/6 not feel anywhere near as bad as you’ll lose 6-12 rating not 29-50+
  6. Will make the games faster so it doesn’t require 20minutes a round.
  7. Will stop 3:3 lobbies which makes you feel like you’ve waisted 30-60 minutes and had zero result

there is not a singular positive outlook around it being a solo shuffle outside it gives everybody equal opportunity to play with each other. but the AWC alone shows its not really anything to do with you, but your comp. as shown by the meta evolving. its normally what class you play with and what classes you face, that matters ALOT more than who you play with and who you play against.

Also if you add this system in, you can stem it with 2v2 allowing for Healer + dps vs Healer + DPS and DPS/DPS vs DPS/DPS

thus adding more game modes for those that don’t like 3s but since you’ve killed LFG now have to play it with shuffle.

i’d rather wait 30 minutes for 6 rounds and relax until the next que pop than que for 10 minutes lose in an unfavorable mathcup and go next

so people can run around pillars for 10 minutes straight or whatever people do in 2s since mop

You’d still probably have to wait 20+ minutes for a queue pop, only to get someone on your team get clapped in the opener. Then it’s back to sitting in a queue.

In an ideal world, I’d love to see this, but I don’t think it would work. Plus, the PvP community is already on it’s deathbed, and we don’t need to overspread the player base over even more PvP brackets. The queue times for everything these days is already a joke.

Parts of that I agree with, but im hitting a wall at the moment mostly going 3 wins 3 losses most games. Typically 1 healer will be weaker than the other or 1 player will be absolutely terrible. If you reduce rounds to 1 round then you have no oppurtunity to at least go even with your wins and losses.

Just make it so that you can que solo/ duo into the normal 3s que

yeah you have the opportunity to always get the weakest player possible in your team and lose after lose after lose after lose after lose after lose after lose
sounds exciting right

no it doesnt xD

Yeah would love to play 1 round into rmp as a weird comp that would never be chosen.

NO! Shuffle is shuffle for a very good reason.

11

oh u found out what people asked for because Private Server had Solo Que and not “Shuffle”

:exploding_head: mindblowing

Yes, i would Prefer Solo Que over Shuffle, alone by the Fact that the Que times are faster, and i dont have to Sit in an 6 Games long Bad Lobby

Other Games come with Solo Que, Solo Que in an Mmo came from Private Server, what did blizzard? Shuffle :dracthyr_hehe:

Its like driving to Mcdonalds, Asking for a Burger, but getting Fries instead :joy:

everyone asked for this, I don’t know why it turned into a solo shuffle (which is conducive to wintrade/cheating)

13

I saw topics about Solo Que not this que fiesta shuffle…

14

Think it was suppose to combat the ideal comp vs random trash comp scenario.

But it fixed one problem but added a ton of others.

This what ppl asked for about 7 years or so, we just got this some shuffle on its place instead :smile:

More like buying deluxe royale with cheese meal for 12 euro but getting one 3 euro double cheese burger instead, but on the royale meals price :laughing:

So ending 3-3 is like you didn’t even play.
You lose and win and at the end your points barely move.
I was saying it that shuffle should move to 1 game only.

17

And mathematically reduce the play time

You would be suprise how many toxic Whisper player will still get

Where you get +5 for a win and -15 for an L
It will not get better

HUH, faster one shots? rounds? Playtime?

But what if I Q for 6 solo rounds and get 3 wins and 3 looses ?

18

Problem is how comp reliant the game is. I feel like this just adds more rng similar to bg blitz. In alot of lobbies you get a guy who is gonna go 0-6, resulting in a 4-2 for dps n 3-3 for healers, if you get this guy multiple times in a row in seperate ques its going to be a problem. Wow playerbase is too small to say that wont happen.

Theres also the factor of you queing say enhancement, gets paired with a destro lock into ret-fury, once again an auto loss where as i think we can all agree we would much rather take turns farming purpleman for an easy 4-2!

What if u lose 3 rounds in shuffle? Still wanna play just not to lose rating?
Insane loser mentality. You don’t need to be a scientist to understand that playing just to lose less is bad idea. But yeah modern blizz devs don’t understand what can understand 12 y.o. kid

And there are lobbies with 1 caster (not mage) into 3 melees. Locks, sp and boomies cant wait another 20-40min queue just for another full melee lobby
But if they will balance around solo, they could give enh mortal strike or remove mortal strike from the game at all

Are you saying that the random cc spamming dps doesnt work with affli/sp? Idk bro I just find it fun like extra challenge press my cd so that some uses random cc in my team and yeet all their own team dmg for no reason. Its like prestige level bonus challenge to try adapt with players like these.

Yes the most fun, 30min que to play vs 3 melee as warlock 4x row for any time of the day. 30min queing to see 2 war not picking intervene with lock but playing double reflect vs double melee.
