Solo Shuffle should reward Gladiator title and Mount

Hi Blizzard. Title says it all, i can’t find people to start 3s for this. LFG is almost dead, make solo shuffle reward all kinds of season rewards available.

Also put 2s and RBG solo rated queues.

Thank you.

what a coincidence that someone who never was even close to 2400 in regular 3s and just got 2400 in a super inflated solo shuffle bracket wants to get a welfare glad for that achievement lol.

It’d be a fair request is glad is % bases.
Then it doesn’t matter if his rating is inflated, if there are 800 other warriors above his current rating.

we have top 0.1% per spec but i agree that this is not enough for some specs it might be 3 people in whole europe that get the title lol

top 1% per spec would be cool or top 0.5% and in general mode incentives for people between 1800 and 2200 to que

Indeed.
% based means it’s also more fair to weaker specs.
Pushing to 2400 on a DH and pushing 2400 on Enhancement, or a non-Disc healer, aren’t the same thing.

What does “inflated” mean? To get raiting someone has to lose it.
I can make an argument that glad mount should not be in 3v3 because of boosters, now what?

The title and mount have no worth for years now. It’s like Hero of the Horde/Alliance. You can buy it, you can keep it. It’s all worthless anyway.

post related to yours from 4d ago

more players = more inflation = easier to get to 2400. Its always been the case but this season its on a new level.
Shuffle is really popular and therefore inflated while nobody ques 2s and 3s.

you could easily boost someone to 2400 in shuffle too when you que as a 2400 healer and try to get in the same lobby as them and lose some games on purpose against the boosting guy. Especially the higher you get its pretty easy to feed wins.

In the end people always find ways to boost or cheat but this is a completely different topic.

Im not against rewards in shuffle i really enjoy playing it but i think regular 3s should be an important bracket too which needs more incentives and not less.

you could buy glad 15 years ago, you can get boosts in literally every competetive pvp game nothing really anyone can do about that. Has nothing to do with the topic though.

Which is a good thing btw. New blood joining in on PvP is something that used to be a huge problem, now the entry level requirements has been lowered, but at the cost of “quality(?)” gameplay at lower ratings in Soloshuffle.

Tbh I always disliked the whole backgroundchecking your LFG applicant before quequeing a single game type of deal for games barely above 2k (lol) then leaving after one loss.

Yes, but should be %-based like top 0.5-1% or 2700+
2400 is way too low and already rewards elite + legend

the game is so old that basically any pvp content which tied on building up teams first to play it will not attract or gain any new players in the game

result is game stays dead or it finds new ways to evolve

just imagine yourself for a moment in the crowd on the main square of Valldrakken on a fabulous crimson dragon

and fields of ferocity wq without queue, world of opportunities

valldrakken and df lag and stutter so much cant tolerate spend time there :slight_smile:

especially if theres crowds the worse it is

better hang out on some old city which expansion were not opimized by primals :slight_smile:

df actually runs so bad since pre-patch that more people hang out on the old zones unless its completely mandatory to spend time in df zones

Solo shuffle shouldn’t even reward the elite set
It should give an ugly (let’s say pink) recolor of Honor Set instead

There were super inflated 3s seasons too.

actually more than shuffle seasons :slight_smile:

but still u need team on niche mode on ded scene to play even those inflated seasons for 3s so who cares

and some ppl still wonder why the mode were dieing when they made it gated for years with these teams

…and why do you think that is?

maybe because most of the rewards got moved to solo shuffle already so theres no point queuing 3s

3s was destined to die.

I have 2k experience in 3s. I got bored of shuffle a bit yesterday and could not find a single party that were specifically looking for Locks.

Majority of the groups are like this; “multit-glad or 2.6k exp ele LF Lock” and his CR atm was 1250. I apply, he quickly declines.

Like, I understand I am way lower than his exp but ffs he is 1250 cr. I will crush opponents at that cr even in a deflated season. Why not just accept and get to around 1600-1700 with me?

I expect ranked 3s get even worse.
