In theory sure, but if you know how Enraged Regeneration works then not really.
1v1 is dead, nobody duels outside the gates of Org or SW anymore. With current class design it’s just fight - run - heal - repeat.
If blizz are gonna add 1v1 bracket they need to do something about ridiculous off heals, else duels are gonna last forever. Also rogues and feral droods can reset so easily it’d be stupidly difficult to beat them.
I think replacing it with 3s is just a no go. 3s has to stay in wow pvp. Don’t even want to argue with that.
I do think that a 1s rated arena would be a nice addition but at the same time it wouldn’t really work I think. As classes already get “balanced” around 3s it would change the 1s ladder a lot. Take FoTM for example. It could mean that class X could be really bad at one point and really shine in another patch/update.
I also think if it would happen a lot more whine would come onto the forums about for example a mage getting eaten by a hunter always. Some classes just beat other classes like rock paper scissors.
TL.DR
If it would come it would be a welcome surprise for me, but I prefer blizzard to focus on other stuff first
But it should be rogue vs rogue, mage vs mage, tank vs tank (same class) e t.c. Otherwise 1 vs 1 arena will be the most unbalanced thing in the game.
I don’t get defensive and nasty unless people give me a good reason to do so.
Anyway, people don’t need to accept my idea. I understand I am a Renaissance thinker here in the 16th century and most of you are acolytes of the Vatican. Your ability to have the courage and ability to think outside the box is low. Not just yours - virtually everyone’s in here. Look at all of your objections. Almost none of them are worth reading. “Oh, how would you beat a class that can offheal!” Oh damn, never heard of nerf on something? “Oh, nothing is balanced in 1v1!” True, because 1v1 was never balanced for. If it were balanced for, maybe things would change?
All people do is read the title, comment. I bet not even one of the responders in this thread wrote my entire suggestion in the OP. It’s not just add 1v1 and done. It’s add 1v1, balance for 1v1, etc. But oh well!
I want and its possible to balance and so on…
Why? Could you explain why it can’t be balanced
It’s funny but most of them probably have no experience in 3v3. I mean, this bracket is so imbalanced, it’s laughable. Have fun playing Enh, Holy Priest, MM/BM Hunt, Affli Lock, Sub/Outlaw, etc. at this very moment! Good balancing there.
It’s also interesting how many people on WoW forums in general say TBC was balanced, yet Blizzard 10 years ago (I found some articles) said how Arena was a mistake because they didn’t even think of balancing PvE/PvP together, but somehow balancing only PvE made PvP great. All it shows is that the way WoW is, balancing PvP is hard no matter what. BUT, it’s not HARDER to balance 1v1 than 3v3. Why the hell would it be?
I have so many solutions to the issues of WoW, but that would take drastic changes to the game. I would work for Blizzard for free. I’d guarantee millions of subscribers, old and new. Sadly people with good ideas have always been shunned.
Tbc wasnt balanced…but it was new and better than vanilla pvp which got stale.
Because this game is not balanced around 1vs1 and will never be. And there is no balance in this game at all because some classes/specs are always better in PVP and PVE.
A warrior and a paladin have almost no chance to win a fight against a frost mage. A mage has almost no chance to win against a hunter or a warlock. And GL fighting a rogue unless you play a class/spec that counters them.
Without same class/role arenas how are you gonna balance a tank vs melee fights and a healer vs dps or frost mage vs warrior fights? This is too much work for Blizzard to do in a 15 year old game and this forum will be buried in tears. So, 1vs1 arena should be DPS vs DPS (same class), tank vs tank (same class).

with current class design blizzard shouldn’t add something like this.
some classes have it all while others were gutted from previews expansions. my solution would be for blizzard to focus on 3v3 + 2v2 balance and class design.
Yes i agree with you. Thats why to have 1v1 would be good to have… just for fun… for people who likes to play solo… and yea, what balance if 3v3 is far away from being balanced anyway…
This game is already unbalanced… so where is a problem to have another unbalanced bracket(1v1)…? Somebody could find fun there. Who likes to play solo or who can’t find teammates…
Would kill WoW PvP fully instead of BfA.
There was never one good expac for solid 1v1 PvP.
You say that based on what?
And if you haven’t noticed, PvP is pretty much dead already. 1v1 would not make it worse. Faster queues, not wasting time finding partners - exactly how would that make anything worse?
Continues with a wall of text that insulting every single responder in this topic. What a great dude to have conversation with.

With the bad class design and all the prunes on every class. NOP.
Well, let’s see.
In over a decade of warcraft, I think no reasonable person would posit “universal class balance” has EVER existed, at ANY level, i.e. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3.
Why would any reasonable person think all of a sudden, it could be balanced?
No reasonable person thinks that.
He’s a “renaissance thinker.”
I think they did in fact call them fools back then.
Before someone counters with a “and they were proved to be right,” I will add even a broken clock is right twice per day.
If PvP was dead there wouldnt be any people queing.
PvP participation is low, possibly at its lowest, but first expansion patches were always dog for PvP so it still might get better by 8.2 8.3 or at the very least 8.4.
1v1 Arena will never work, there are three specs which will dominate it 24/7 and balancing around it even would be pointless.
