Noone was playing that mode when it was unranked 
so why all the “non elitists” started playing it now? coz ppl want rating achieved. Like there is LFR system but it doesnt reward ppl with same rewards as Mythic raid? Also dungeon group finder doesn provide same rewards as mythic+ rio system… so why LFG mode of arena is supposed to give same rewards as arena? it kills the reason to even try to get good at pvp.

we dont pvp for mounts and titles. we pvp because its fun
rewards are just a bonus
then explain why noone was playing the mode in nonranked mode, why so few people play skirmish and normal BGs (outside of gearing for arena)?
Didn’t blizz implement the rated mode based on the popularity of the non-rated version in SL?
nope. it was a “beta test”. and as i mentioned before - the mode is great in general. Just requires different set of rewards. it will solve all the issues. People will play both modes and everyone will be happy.

- because its the only option to gear up, you cant gear in skirmish
rewards such as mounts and titles are pointless to the majority of people that just want to sit and chill,
i hate looking for a partner for 2s or 3s it takes hours in LFG
soloQ is the best change for pvp we have ever had.
the numbers speak for themselves over 100k active players in soloQ

Yeah. but have you ever played arena with a good teamate and comms? like cooridnation actions, becoming almost one with each other, finishing each other moves? that’s totally different feeling. There is beauty in that. So what i am trying to say: both modes have their place in wow. Just give different rewards and everyone will be happy. Ppl who want to chill - can play chill games in 0/9 gear in SS and if they want to progress the rating by getting better gear (if they just want to chill - gear matters not) - welcome to real competitive pvp in arena. Everyone is happy.
or just give SoloQ option to 3v3 and 2v2
that way theres more players in each bracket
i like solo shuffle i mean some days i win every match, other days i loose 6 in a row and i fluuping hate it. The problem is that it needs a new rating system as using the og arena system does not work for solo shuffle it’s toxic it makes it feel like a waste of time it will no doubt be the reason for many a cancelled sub.

also there needs to be rating loss just like for normal arena if u dont get in your que
as there is countdown queing now of people exploiting the system declineing ques till they get on same and proceed to wintrade when they do
blizz keeps leaving these loopholes cause they dont listen the feedback they get when something is being tested
when u notice few declines a row on the que I suggest to not go in that que or there is possibility that you are in for a funny one
gigachad testoalphamaxglad ferals running in without prowl to just die in cat in 10sec on ur team and next theyre playing their hardest with the rival for life guy on their team
I see it, and I dont believe in coincidences when something replicates too many times with similar pattern
I am not a white knight of anything but this is just annoying to wait the dps que and then get in wintraded lobbys where some bobby who cant even climb as dps on soloq without buying boost for it
Idk how mistakes this big are made when its so obvious how it should had been implemented
Oh what is wrong my little pvp elite, you can no longer stomp people by playing your fotm comp you’ve been practicing for 10 years or boosting people and ruin pvp expirience for others became too difficult? Or may be its not as enjoyable without stomping casuals on your alts? May be you can’t boost your ego in LFR? 
Either way I dont care, gotta get ELITE set for all my alts by doing pve rotation and throwing deminished stun at my kill target. While you can enjoy your elite-awc-at-1600 club and scratch your ego. You elitist were so eager to alienate and gatekeep casuals - you gatekeeped them succesfully!
soloq is the future, people can actually enjoy pvp without all the mating dances. All the rewards should be moved from arena to soloq and arena should only be left to earn conquest points only.

How I like the opinion of the players who say with foam at the mouth that solo shuffle is the future, it is the solution to all problems, Or claiming that need to remove the 3v3 and 2v2 bracket, and make only 3v3 solo shuffle and 2v2 solo shuffle, that after working with a bottle of beer you calmly play 12 rounds and go to bed happy. Guys, the whole world does not revolve around you, what difference does it make to you where to ap your 1600 rating, and in what mode to stand in the search to play the arena? Here the question is raised for those who want to play a rated 3v3, and not a solo shuffle, a solo shuffle is a cancer of this game, where the lobby with the right setup and the right map will work or not work for you. Solo shuffle is just the real random rating casino.
If you don’t want to play a rated 3v3 arena, no one forces you, play solo shuffle. We just ask blizzard to take measures so that the rating 3v3 is also in demand, let’s say I don’t want to play solo shuffle, and I want to play the rating 3v3 (with my teammates or LFG)
I like to play with coordination with teammates, solo shuffle does not give me such an opportunity, I want to play in a specific setup, solo shuffle does not give me such an opportunity. And the 3v3 bracket does not give me such an opportunity now, because there are simply no opponents, there is no one to play with, the ladder is dead.
I want to push the rating there, I have the right to do so. But due to the small number of participants, this is impossible
I think After all, can find a compromise that would suit everyone.
Agreed remove the 3v3 bracket
Im literally a casual player who cares? Are you r1? No you arent. As much as a nobody as me^
im cares. I can’t figure out in anyway why you (literally casual) care about a removing a 3v3 bracket? Enjoy solo shuffle while it’s popular.
The fact is that already this weekend two thousand fewer people participated in solo shuffle compared to last weekend. You have to understand one simple thing, while you are rejoicing, the day will come when the solo shuffle will die out as well as the rated 3v3 bracket
It’s literally interesting until you get the elite achievement, after that the solo shuffle doesn’t make you queue up. And accordingly, you will get the final outcome that fewer and fewer people will play it each time, and literally in a few seasons it will no longer be possible to get a veteran in it, since its number of participants will be reduced to a minimum - accordingly, everyone will start to burn a** due to the fact that the rating does not grow (equivalent to what happens in the current ladder with 3v3) - and similar topics will be created to this one.
But it doesn’t concern you (For now), the most important thing for you is that you can get a rival for the transmog. Only I will upset you, try to do it (1950) now in 3v3 or 2v2 and you will have a sad experience. Therefore, do not think ahead and do not rejoice ahead of time, With a solo shuffle, the same thing can happen that has just happened with other brackets. (I predict that this will be the case in a couple of seasons)

I only play for rival sets i dont care about anything else. So why did you link my pvp? I couldve linked it for you. Also why post on a lv 50 alt with check pvp off?

Id ban you right there : “If everyone’s left for solo shuffle, why aren’t the queues 1 minute” this IQ,my mind is going crazy now.Because there is like 20x less healers than DPS like since the very first day of this game.Healers wait like few seconds to get into solo shuffle games.
People that post on level 10->50 chars/classic chars with check pvp off are usually curse-of-doomed 1200 xp forever types, full of anger and man tears, who can’t play the game in any capacity but dwell on the forums.
Making a post that involves another persons rating in any way while you are hiding your own rating/xp should be perma-bannable.

The reason I quit for good this week is not even anything of those issues we have at the moment. No.
I can accept the wintrading at low rankings in shuffle when I start playing an alt, I can accept the melee absurd mobility and that playing a caster is horrible feeling and gameplay wise, I can accept that the game now favors damage over everythin else, I can accept the mostly very toxic PvP “community”, I can accept the boosting clowns, I can accept the abusers of game mechanics that are not supposed to work like that do it (random BG with pre made grps etc.) Or that 2v2 is dead now… No.
My last shuffle match I got a match where the Warrior charged at the enemey without looking whats going on behind him etc. (usual melee stuff…) I tried to catch up and heal his butt but after I made 4 steps towards him and then I was trapped in a Hunter trap… Warrior died in 5 seconds.
Just so you know, in the whole lobby was not a single Hunter present… not on my team, not on the enemy team.
Sorry but I do not have any tolerance for this kind of stuff, this is just dumb.
