Thanks for ruining Battleground Blitz, Blizzard!

I was enjoying battleground blitz when it was around. It felt like an arcade-y, more scaled and balanced version of random battlegrounds. It was very beginner friendly. There was no pressure to win. You literally just queued, played, and repeat.

But as with all things, people have to turn it into some kind of competitive mess, where everything is a contest. Was the community not toxic enough or something?

Fine. Having a competitive version of this for solo queue to gain rating, fine. But to take away the original gamemode? I believe that was a mistake.

Battleground Blitz is literally how random battlegrounds and random epic battlegrounds should work. Faster mount speed, no heavy gear dependancy, etc. A more arcade style gameplay.

We had that. And you had to take it away and turn it into something competitive again. Just like you did with dungeons when you made Mythic+. LOL

TBH, i seen many HotH and Glad players who ran around like a headless chicken because they knew how to play their class, but had no clue how BG’s works, especially Blitz with different rules.

But, on topic: I agree with NĂ­salle, the Brawl version should be kept as is. Or even make as a requerement for Blitz to play 5 games on each map (Brawl) before you can queue rated.

If you don’t care very much about winning/losing, but the harrasmant is throwing you off, then I suggest you to queue with a friend, go discord and turn off chat.

Additionally, I hope that they streamline random battlegrounds more towards the Blitz format - so that people are not confused by the different rule sets

I like your videos. But I don’t think you understand where I’m coming from.

I used to enjoy Battleground Blitz before it was rated. Purely because I could just queue, play, no pressure, no /need/ to win to earn some rating. It was just casual fun. No drive to play, just queue and play.

It was a lot more accessible because of the faster mount speed and the objective rules being different. And there’s fewer players as well. On top of that, the scaling of gear was insanely good.

So essentially what I’m mad about is that Blizzard once again turned something casual friendly and fun into a competition. Which wouldn’t be as bad at all to add as an option but instead they replaced the casual content entirely with the rated content.

My suggestion to Blizzard to solve this would be to juse make Random Battlegrounds and Random Epic Battlegrounds copy the format of BG Blitz and make it more casual friendly and more arcade.

If I may ask, what is your goal overall when it comes to PvP? just a genuine question.

To whail on a pres evoker for 20min, doing his healthbar worth in DPS a million times over in damage, but not budging the manabar or healthbar one bit over the duration.

That is what I go into PvP to do, that is my goal.

This is PvP

There should be a normal version. That’s what I am saying.

As for what my goal for PvP is? I just want to relax, play some battlegrounds with a variety of classes. And not have to deal with conquest gear inbalance or slow matches.

Original Battleground Blitz was quite literally perfect for that. I was full honor gear almost the entire season and still could do viable damage and have fun because of scaling.

It was an arcade experience. As non-rated PvP should be, considering that Blizzard rarely ever cares about it anyway.

My recommendation for you, simply play for conquest gains, maybe queue with a friend of yours that is willing to play alongside in 2s or blitz, or even the normal battlegrounds, craft some rings and other craftable items, make sure to buy the warmode gear by spending blood tokens, and finally check some guides, read some youtube videos, murlok.io for what is the best in slot, and set up small personal goals if you are looking to earn rating, if that is not the case, maybe join a community that could help your class? and play with them in a unrated fashion?

Now whether blizzard will implement a non-rated blitz, I doubt that will happen personally.

You basically read my thoughts. And yes, solo RBG is exactly how should random BG works. BTW remove toxic people with desire to contest easy to resolve, remove rewards. Make it different. But yeah…

I play BG Blitz just too run in and zerg, i dont care about win or loose or objects
Just wont too top the meters

Its a nice random BG version without premades, tryhards can something with my nuts

Wasn’t blitz in DF just a test and it was always supposed to end up as a rated mode? I do however agree the blitz system is much better in random bg and the normal random bg should be updated to a blitz like system but without rating.

You’re clearly low IQ braindead. Random Battleground isn’t the same as BG Blitz was when it was a brawl. It’s almost an entirely different game.

I vote against this. Random Bgs are fine as they are atm.

Random BGs not fine. Let say you very busy in job, and you start actively play mid of season… so you will be one-shoted. Premades problem. ANY PREMADE will annihilate opponents. And people who facing pre-made suffer. :slight_smile: No, random BG’s not ok. Blitz not ok as well. RBG and arenas not ok because healers hard to kill and too much stuns (stuns problem really funny, all your battle is struggle with stun).

So… I don’t understand what’s ok with BG’s?
