SOUNDS AWESOME
Best news I've heard all day
Me, still waiting for 40man pvp raid sized solo queue:(FUN THATS WHY)
It's about time this happens, but they need to adjust the wait times. Give more benefits for those who play healer or adjust the wait times on dpses.
Coming back to wow.
Rated BG's have been dead shortly after it was released. I can't understand why Blizzard can't do what every other game does and allow competitive solo queue. There are literally no downsides and brings huge numbers of players to your game. I can only imagine they have lost the skilled developers to implement something like this so are just stuck with what they have.
Haven't been into arena but been BGing since the game in its entirety, would definitely have to check out a Solo Shuffle BG variation...
Interesting indeed, as a not good pvp player, I've always struggled in arenas, and ended up farming vicious mounts with rbg: started with them in bfa and got the seasonal in s1, in s2 I recovered all 10 mounts I was missing with so many rbg, also found a casual rbg community 33% of the way of that farm, then rating across the board looked harder to get, so I wasn't sure I'd hit 1,4k, so skipped s3 and s4, then it was nerfed to 1k, so I did SL s1, 2, 3, 4, and I always liked bgs gameplay, what I didn't like was the timewasting aspect: sometimes it's hard to get invited into a group, sometimes leader kicks you for some reason before even joining the bg, sometimes people leave as soon as joining, almost ensuring a loss, sometimes you end up against boosters or mismatched teams, lose a game with no chance to win and most people in the team aren't able to understand this and leave, this is just a sample, lots of annoying timewasting events to get rbg going. Oh, forgot one of the most important ones: the 30 mins+ wait with a group of 3 healers, 6 dps, all 9 people waiting for a tank, and then tanks acting entitled too cause they know how important they are, and leaving the first time something goes wrong.Solo queue bypasses that, so that's good, for now solo shuffle kinda works even for someone like me who's worse at arena and better at bgs\objectives, but if it turns out to be similarly efficient, I'd rather do these solo rbg.
lisen here all of you witch are happy for solo q rbgs it will not work is just normal bgs with rating 8 ppl i can tell exact how it will 2afk if they dont like team 1-2 toxic one team will have good tank other one will have not best tank other team will have meta class other one will not have spec meta class in group rog/hunter will not want to def anymore for sure if they are not happy will troll and leave game 8ppl is not 3 ppl where in solo 1 3vs3 you can still win be your self but in 8ppl you must to trust in 7ppl think like that you want fast games for rbgs start do your owen group and lead them that how me and other good rbgs leader become rbg players not just complain on forums and dont forgot q it will 30min+ for dps in solo q rbgs same as arenas think for future not for 1month happyness. solo q it was great first season this season no one care anymore and q are more longer then before think in the future and not only for 1month to bring more ppl to rbgs just give new titles achivem for rbgs and unic mount for them and then you will see more players playing rbgs not solo q you say you wait 30min to make team in lfg you will wait 30min to get in q for solo q what is difrence?
i personally rather play a healer in bgs and dps in arenas, i dnt think this will have crazy wait times tbh
if it's 8v8, 2 healers, 1 tank and 5dps the queue times will be on average the same as solo shuffle, maybe longer if rewards are @#$%, because you need the same amount of healers.
As a Hero… this is a much needed change and should have taken place a long time ago. Arguably, since the creation of RBGs in Cata. With participation being so absolutely horrid due to the lack of attention blizz has given PvP over the years, why this was not already implemented has been lost on me.Positive change for a positive direction. Make the niche communities more casual and new player accessible. Grow the niche communities into major gameplay focus areas.
I think this can be a lot more popular than Solo Shuffle Arenas.Another good change for the game.
Some thoughts on top of my head:1) Make it so that there can be teams with only dps on both sides. This will shorten the queue times. Like sometimes you get two teams with 1 healer in each team, sometimes 2 healers in each team, and sometimes 0 healers in each team.2) Disable chat in the bgs(only pings can be used) and make it so that you can't whisper a previous team mate/enemy for the next hour after the battle is over. This will remove a lot of the toxic chat/whispers.3) No premades! Not even 2-3 people premades, because it's such a big advantage.4) Let people farm rewards such as good looking transmog sets, mounts, mount saddles, etc in solo RBGs and solo arena and people will play!5) If you win a majority of your rounds(in solo arena) you should get atleast 10 rating or so even if you are higher rank than the rest. This should also be applied to RBGs. Not gaining any rating even though you won 5 out of 6 rounds in solo arena is not fun or good gameplay, and it will be the same in RBGs if you're put in a lobby with people with lower ranks than you.
