SoloQ RBG is a bad concept. Maybe 4+4 x 4+4 is the solution?

Solo RBG is bad concept and wont work. Bad teamwork etc in groups…
I understand RBG was not populair enough due to lots of work required to make groups. However this soloQ is not the solution… Bad design weird class matchups. full 4DK’s and 2DH vs 3 warlocks and a elemental and mage… haha love to be on DK side :slight_smile:

I like to play RBG, and now you killed RBG scene completely with SoloRBG. And its bad, no teamwork just headless chickens hope your team has a bit more brain and win. BG is a teamgame and should be addressed like this.

Solution might be: Change queue size to (4-man group) meaning (4+4 x 4+4 concept) total 8v8.
You can Queue RBG with 1 healer and 3 DPS. This makes it much more team and skill oriantated then just zerg and hope for best.

What is your opinion? what could be the downside of my suggestion?

Bg maps are way too big for 4 v 4.

The niche of solo rbg is that its easy to acces.
I doubt many people are willing to sit que and wait endlessly to form a group that probably disbands after 1 loss.

Once you got through the low brackets this no longer happened. You got strong groups vs strong groups, which was fun.

This is the final stab.

I dont mean 4v4. total. 4 + 4 vs 4 + 4, two groups of 4 working together with total of 8. Atleast you have semi-premade vs semi-premade of people wanting to work together. In addition if you leave queue, you leaving your friends also behind etc.

Group1:
Healer + 3 DPS
and
Group2:
Healer + 3 DPS

vs
Group3:
Healer + 3 DPS
and
Group4:
Healer + DPS.

And once again, people who like to queue solo will have to suffer again… you have arena 2s 3s 5s, RBG’s and randoms where you can take your groups. Leave one of them alone fgs.

Ranked flex (groups of 4 not allowed)

No.

That will make it inaccessible for ordinary players and will turn it into another playground for premades.

Blitz is currently the perfect game mode for two friends to enjoy together.
Just make it so everyone is allowed to queue duos, not just healers with a dps, and make sure there is always an equal amount of duos in relation to solo players on both sides.

HELL NO. go play premade elsewhere, that word is banned from soloq

even duo is already too much.

No, it’s just right.
Where else are we supposed to go?
Random bg? -“You are ruining the game for casuals.”
Rated BG? If we are lucky enough that someone is hosting and needs us, sure. If not, have fun building a team for 2 hours to disband after 1-2 rounds.

Sir, this is too complicated for small indi company with outdated que system

duo is already pretty unfair often, and we gonna see alot of carrying and boost selling asw because of that

not to mention people gonna soon find out how convinient it is sto sync rbg solo too.

I haven’t had any issues, I’ve played solo and faced many duos, and can confirm that when facing a duo, we also possess a duo.

Worst issue I find with these games is the matchups, as OP has already mentioned. Some games you’re facing teams that have a major advantage due to the makeup of specs compared to your team, surely they can do a bit of algorithm juggling to prevent one side having like 4DK’s or 4 Hunters or whatever and try and balance it out better.

As unfair it may be, it shouldn’t be an obstacle.

Well they quite often are, when they needn’t be.

That’s the beauty of solo game, you adapt.

Yeah of course, you can somehow simply negate the fact that one side is full of overpowered spec while yours isn’t, how silly of me.

no thats the beauty of wow.

adapting to people playing duo shouldn’t be a thing, there just shouldn’t be a duo in the first place…

in one instant i had a dk constantyly grip me on edge of lm and disorient, into his preservation knockback

one time i could see it, but 4-5 times and even waitign my alter, it starts becoming bit annoying, when normally this wouldn’t happen most likely haven’t them being a duo

they did lose the game, so its not about “adapting” or “wining and losing”

its just purely unfair because its playing like a class with 100 spells and broken combination, specially if they voice

not to mention how many times ud be able tos teal a base with a ring of frost, but if they communicate and only 1 trinket is a different story

unfair is unfair

I could ramble about all the unfairness I’ve come across through my push, all the DHs zoomie on me 24/7 killing me with defensives up + heals, not to mention facing 4 lolrets in bubble+wings tunnelling me or the ammount of eles consistently bursting our teammates as if nothing whilst having to deal with their grounding totems and defensive capabilities, or the cheeky rdruids that can cyclone/beam/root and ninja cap bases… I could go on for ever.

But if your experience as an individual have learnt the lessons in dealing with pressure with so many battlegrounds played under your belt, you can overcome them if you have the clear mindset.
Sometimes it’s all about working with what you’ve got and simply not giving up. And if your teammates intentionally throw the game, in time they will be placed in their level whilst others will continue to push.

PvP has always been unfair, but it doesn’t mean anything at all, that you lose due to poor matchmaking so what? Just go again.
This evening I played some matches, lost 3 in a row and won a couple after. The point I’m making is that, because you lose a teamfight, or your facing a strong opponent or there’s a imbalance in the enemy team, should not be a discouragement, infact the harder the game the better, because you aclimate to the condition, you learn to deal with it, if you can’t keep your cool because enemy has 3-4 dhs or what ever, ofcourse you going to break, PvP isn’t ment to be easy, and the only way to deal with adversity is precisely assess the scenario, learn about their intentions, supporting your team as a whole and work together accordingly and not just for the fact of doing objectives, if people can learn to read the fights you can achieve greatness.

Even I get tilted, and had to deal with toxicity, ints, and all kind of rousing but I know how to maintain focus, and I look hard challenges with an open mind.

I managed to hit 2.1 during the 1st week simply by understanding my team necessity and having a positive outlook, I climbed MMR exponentially quick and even learned a few tricks on the way, now I am 2315 hardstuck on a 2nd Hell-MMR full of elitists, some arrogant but also some with a Get the job done attitude rather than chatting unnecesary stuff through the match, even had the privilege to play alongside some notable players and from them is how I learn and ‘git gud’ from.

Hope this helps to the people who may consider blitz battleground a mediocre attempt from blizzard to encourage even more to test their mettle and improve as individuals in order to get better at the match.

Thanks for attending my TED talks.

Kind regards
