SOLO Q RBG… is gonna be amazing
though… some classes will be complete meta for it, like Rogue with smoke bomb
Rogue, Hunter, druid, Monk and Shammy… gonna popp off in soloQ rbg
Yeah Solo Q RBG’s are the way to go imo, as a matter of fact since the very beggining of discussions about addition of Solo Q to the game i have always said RBG’s are the way to go, simply because Arena is too complex and requires too much coordination like certain specs only work in certain team comps etc.
But, speaking of those “SoloQ RBG’s” there are many things that need to be looked at before deployment of such game mode. First of all, Battlegrounds in general have an issue with player impact, your impact as a single player out of the entire group is somewhat small. Ofc the 8 man model will improve this but will it be enough? Im not sure.
This issue also transfers to map designs, since current RBG maps were mostly designed for 2x 10-15 man groups.
There is also class balance and general usefullness of certain classes in such scenarios. Classes with the strongest individual play-making kits will absolutely dominate this game mode, this includes classes like Rogues, Mages, Ferals - generally speaking someone who can kite, spam cc and has stealth or other measures that can significantly help individually steal or take objectives - this is another issue and to be fair a bigger one than it may seem in my opinion.
Another thing are rewards, without them its highly possible the Q times after the first season will be just as bad as they are in Solo Q arena right now.
There are probably plenty of other issues i forgot about or will come out as the game mode gets released to live servers i suppose we just have to wait and see.
Anyway i feel really excited and definitely looking forward it. Lets hope blizz will finally make something right because to be fair if it works out it’ll be the first successful game mode introduction since the release of Mythic+ and because so much time already passed since that success…i think both we players and them as devs really need it lol
It won’t. It’s my main worry. That is unless said player uses raid warnings like in epics and becomes the team’s leader, I could see that starting to happen at higher ratings… just like ppl might have ping macros in higher lvl SS. I guess it depends on rewards and achievs/titles if people will care enough to try-hard it like that.

I love Blitz, fast, fun, non-toxic chat (because there is no time) and without premades… the only thing I miss is using engineering and the epic laughs with the warp grenade.
I guess the Devs gamble here, and expect PvP ecosystem to be healthier this way. RBG is such a pain in the ars3 regarding setup/organisation/boosters, etc. I think SoloQ will be a sh1tshow on its own way, but in the end make rated bg content more accessible for everyone 
As I have said before: PvP needs to become more “casual-friendly”
it already is a sh1tshow, you have 2.4 players who don’t know how to DPS or healers on glad mounts who heal less than I would if I took my gear off.
You got meta classes just better than everything else. IE wtb balance <3
You have various maps with resources that go too fast so if you are a good solo player and are behind, there isn’t time to make plays unless you are a mage or rogue.
You got the issue of matchmaking with 1-x duos on one team none on the other Or 2 rogues on one side none on the other.
Tank differences sometimes just decide the game or we just use healers as fc because tanks are useless lol.
Many of these issues might be solved with CR but who knows 
However, I like the mode but it needs some serious work.
Devs can work on map balance (resources gained, etc.) but not much on class balance. WoW never had a balanced class system and never will, this is 90% PvE and the PvP talents and adjustments are not enough. Even taking that into consideration, WoW Devs have a baaad history adjusting classes for PvP. You mentioned Tanks, I remember when Guardian was the only viable choice for a Tank in RBGs, for more than 2 years. It is a joke ^^ I, as a prot pala, will see how far I can get in SoloRBG with this spec, before people start spitting on me in the startzone… It will be a sh1tshow
They could force the same tanks on either side to at least mitigate differences.
Sounds like they are just giving us a remake of the original Deepwind Gorge. I actually used to like it but some games were a nightmare if one side had a tank and the other didn’t or one side had more healing. Always seem to get 2x healer and 1x tank in Blitz tho so might be a bit more fun this time round.

This sollo shuffle is so bad as soloque rated arena.
Alot of private servers (might get chat suspended for that like before) have soloque 2vs2 and 3vs3 and its working.
This solo shuffle is just… Its not working.
