The edge of quitting - Please can we have solo queue

This can only be spoken by someone that plays little arena. Classes like Mage and Rogue will have an INSANE advantage, same for Holy Paladin like right now, or Arms Warrior for example.

There is NO way that you beat that as a non-meta comp. If they get slightly better RNG the Game is set because especially at lower to medium ratings the Comp matters a lot more due to all the mistakes players make.

You didn’t watch the video. It was said by a 2800 rated player and arguably one of the best pvpers. Almost every highly rated pvper wants solo queue. Whining about comps makes no sense when your final rank for that season is dependent on your specc. Say that the best mistweaver achieved 1600 rating in some season. Doesn’t matter. He gets a rank 1 title because he is the best mistweaver. It is no different than skirmish is right now, except that skirmish is completely pointless.

Good players will find a way to increase their rating. Mage-Rogue in 2v2 is already dominating so what difference does it make if they dominate in solo queue? None. These are arbitrary nonsense reasons. Also, nobody is forcing you to play solo queue.

Can’t wait for people lashing out at each other for stacking ccs, cds or everything else that would require actual communication. Soloq would be such a great addition :slight_smile:

Savix is extremely biased, so is Stooppz. Not sure what point you are trying to make.

Please, just no.
Savix is by far, not one of the best “PvPers”.
And not “every” High rated player wants solo queue, its a dumb idea in a game where it wont work at all.
SoloQ will solve nothing, if you think League is toxic you be surprised how much worse it whould get in WoW.
It just doesnt work with the way Combs, Classes work, some Classes whould just dominate extremely hard, Mage Rogue one of the best examples.

Not exactly true. As explained many times over by now, most recently:

it does have a way to work (kind of, at least) when people don’t care as much about their characters, just like other solo queue games.

If they’d do a moba-style character pick in a lobby together with instant creations of fully prepared characters, then once you’ve set up the UI etc. then all you need is to queue up and pick the char and spec you play according to what your team is picking and what your opponents are picking, in a turn-based order just like in mobas.

Except it wouldn’t be an RPG anymore. And it definitely won’t work with the way WoW works right now if the only thing they’d do is copypaste a solo queue. To add solo queue, it requires a lot of changes to the game.

Class designs would also change as a result of such an overhaul in the game’s core design concept. There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell you’d see all of those changes without them touching the class designs to suit it as well.
At least it would enable splitting the designs of classes to two different teams, one part of the game (i.e. the “tournament realms”) having a “PvP design” of classes while the other would be limited to “PvE designs”.

All of these changes would be needed if they’d ever try to establish WoW as a proper esports game. So far, they clearly haven’t tried to aim for that though. It has always been a thing on the side.

(Imagine the anger if you get teamed up with the same person on your team that you just lost a game with though, and how irritable strangers tend to be… :laughing:
there’s a reason why other solo queue games have had to go so far to combat toxic behavior online.)

bold of you to bring this subject on this anti-soloq forum

we can hope anyway

All they would have to do is add a check box so you could pick which classes you want to play with.

Itwill still be infinitely faster than lfg

stop makeing 3 posts with same thing. U cant get raiting the normal way and now u want solo queue to drag someone else down in your pitfall. Not gonna happen

Yeah true but everybody have it the same right? Even 10% can make difference in long run. But yeah you are right its stupid to have it on high rating. But why dont have it on low rating ? Like having solo que only till1400 will be huge upgrade. Groups bellow this rating is meme groups of pvers anyway ussually…

Issue with rbg is that without pvp guild or community is very hard to get it. Imagine playing non meta dps and trying to find a group without achievements or 220 ilvl. You rather go back to randoms bro

Rofl. Do you even listen to the ideas you are proposing? And what are super underperforming specs gonna do then, that no one wants to que with? Everyone would just checkbox fotm. Through LFG atleast, you get to see options and look the players up first beforehand and depending on their note can also wake interest.

There is literally no difference. People have a choice who they play with already.

Do you even ‘listen’ to what you are writing?

The point a lot of people bring up that solo queue would be broken because of the comps and the lack of communication and synergy seem to fail to understand, maybe because they don’t use LFG at all is that that is already the world people who play in the LFG live in.

You find a random guy in LFG, who you have 0 knowledge of if you play well together, and run the risk of queuing into some FOTM duo on voice at any rating.

With solo queue, sure stuff would be just as broken as in LFG, but at least both teams are at the same disadvantage (random teammates, no voice).

Did I stutter? How is any of what I said unclear. Ignore savix then. What about pikaboo, xaryu, bahjeera??? All of these people endorse solo queue. And still the main point here is:

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE IDEA THEN DON’T F**** PLAY IT! I hate raiding. I don’t raid. I don’t pve. Do I want blizzard to remove raids from the game? No. Just don’t play it. Solo queue should be there for the MASSIVE amount of players who want it.

You are really bright one aren’t you?

Do you realize those players you mention want solo queue to have fun and not care about single thing in the world,because they can easily gear in 3’s because they always end up rank 1.

To them it would not matter if they lost 100 games in a row,because they can get 2400 in 3 days.

Why would you listen to people who don’t give crap about rated bg’s?

If you actually bothered to play rbg’s instead watching streamers,you might’ve progress.

You can find any bracket in lfg,literally 24/7

Main issue is people want to get carried.That’s why you asking for solo rated queues.

You have 13 rbg games played and 3 won only with 23% win ratio.That’s like lower than LOL’s bronze.

What can you contribute with in solo queue?How can you help other 9 members win a game?

Most people who want to see solo rated queue are hardstuck combatants/challengers,with 600 games played.

No thank you.I dont want you in my team,nor do i want you in any other team,because you gonna only tank someone’s rating and effort.

Imagine Non FOTM classes that strugle.WW is one of most demanded melee in PvP.

I swear you could flood Azeroth with your tears if you wished to.
It’d be a great way for people that don’t want to be looking at LFG for hours to group and play fast pvp games. If you don’t wish to use the system, you’re free to ignore it. What is your point prohibiting other players of using it? All your arguments are based around rbg composition and it having to have all the FOTM classes you’ve talked about. What if a demonology warlock wanted to queue there? Isn’t he allowed to play? He would be rejected for hours in LFG. Maybe if you are using one of the FOTM specs and want to have the very best possible composition then don’t use a random group finder and instead create the party by yourself. Meanwhile the demonology warlock guy will be able to play on a less optimal party.

YES. Amen. THIS.
How in the hell is this a problem in your world? Why do you play this game? To NOT have fun? I don’t want a second job. I just want to have fun. You’re getting it. Slowly but surely the lightbulb is turning on.

Buddyboy,if you want to have fun,and ruin other peope’s bgs because you are incompetent to play rated ones,then feel free to play random bg’s.

Again.

LFG sysyem is perfect place to find group.

Just because people expect to find rival-elite groups without having any pvp knowledge,it doesn’t mean there should be solo rated queue.

With LFG,i can chose NOT topick horrible players,who have 20 games played and 2 wins.

Solorated queue is going to ruin whole rbg.

And the fact,you picked one sentence out of my whole reply,means i am right.

Only hardstuck cobatants/challengers with 700 games played want solo rated queue.

I dont want you playing rated bg’s at all.

Supporting solo q, lets say no to wasting of life time to nowhere.
