WoW pvp is not worth the time investment

it seems impossible for me to even reach 1400 mmr

@Thorvin-frostmane

I’ve played over 2000 games with both warrior and hunter

you are doing stuff fundamentally wrong.

WoW Arena is a competetive environment. It exists for 15 years of course people are really good at it and the average skillcap is very high BUT there are endless ressources to learn and watch from other higher rated players and since Knowledge is maybe the most important skill in WoW PvP.

@Thorvin-frostmane

classes like rogues and mages being historically superior than everyone else and having a more vast toolkit to deal with everyone as well as the damage to delete you.

i mean you said you are playing a warrior, who is currently the best dps spec in the game after the nerfs to mage.

@Thorvin-frostmane

t seems to me that spending the time that someone like me would need to go past 1600 and maybe start enjoying the game more, I would need to sacrifice other aspects of my life and make this a proper goal.

you really dont. I suggest you just play without stressing too much about rating. Just play, have fun and try to improve.

Gotta say it’s quite entertaining to witness people complaining about not having time to play and not reaching high cr while being hardstuck 1.4 with hundreds of played games

Well said. Pvp now feels like waste of time. Too many boosters selling services to pve guys to gear fast.

The average player today is much better then back in the day, you’ll hear this sentiment echoed by pretty much every high rated pvp streamer.

You are right but thats not all. I remeber in mop 1400 rating was like tutorial people playing in greens etc. Now people tryharding a lot and not gonna join till 200 ilvl or something…more like 210. Also people played any specs…now? People are so tryhard that even on 1400 they want to play only with meta specs. Etc.

But thats not all. Also we have rating gatekeeping and boosting which isnt helping at all.

So people became better but also more toxic, selfish and tryhard like they are rank 1 players.

This is probably the biggest wake up call. Streamers talk about ‘‘lol dude just go and get 1600 it’s free rating’’.

It probably was really free back in the day, in MoP and WoD. But today the difference between a 1600 player and a 2400 is all in game sense and communication, everyone from 1100cr and up knows exactly how to do damage and stuff like stat prio/talents etc because of resources like skillcapped and icyveins.

I mean this in the nicest way possible but I think single player games like Witcher or God of War would be a better fit for you

Stop with this crap argument. It was perfectly fine until BFA when this game became korean f2p game where you dont get any benefits from sub.

So basically you want the arena gameplay to be less bursty?
That means we go back to 15 minute dampening arena games, No ty, I’ll pass for that
