Hey Guys,
The previous posts had a huge amount of support so I’ll add to it.
I do not have time to find players with equal caliber to play with. I work, and sometimes play early in the mornings.
Every other competitive game is doing this. Create a separate bracket, and watch the PvP participation quadruple or even 10x.
For anyone with an excuse:
- Blizzard can’t get anything right. So might as well spark it up.
- Team compositions are meaningless - The team who adapts to the situation the best, wins. (For example, you can get Diamond I in League by picking 5 troll champions every time. ( Its more about skill ) (This applies to every game with solo queue)
- Solo Queue is extremely addicting in every game that has it. (Solo Queue game modes have the highest views on Twitch by a long shot)
- Literally the best way to learn PvP. Difficulty rises the higher rating you get.
- No time wasted - Log in and Queue - No need to wait - No need to set up calendar invites - No nothing
- Voice communication is not needed (Nobody voices in other solo queue games)
EDIT
- No more “You’re an A class, therefore you can only queue with B class and C class…” Literally three things: easier balancing, freedom, and FUN!
-
"LINK 4K CR / 3000 EXP OR NO INVITE" Toxicity abolished - Many new players will dive into competitive PvP!
- There won’t be “Overly advantageous compositions”. For example, if a rogue matches with a mage, they won’t know each others play styles. Therefore they wont really know when they’re supposed to set up their burst, however they’ll be judged on their ability to watch DR’s. The games will be more heavily dependent on their individual skill rather than team skill.
Clarifications:
- Solo Queue is a separate bracket, you will not face premades. (That’s where the fun comes from)
- Obviously the role compositions will be pre-set, IE. (1 healer 2 dps for 3v3)
- “Splitting the community will make it dead” games already dead lol

Best post, this would be awesome. Thanks for laying it all out in an easy to follow way!
Edit: by the way there should be a 2v2 ranked random team option and 5v5 option as well

Love it. Arena needs accessibility for participation. The more the merrier.

enjoy the concept but I don’t like the idea of a separate ladder unless rewards are very different
solo q is great and would be great for the game esp if you’re a streamer but the accessibility would instantly and drastically reduce non solo q participation
I propose either
solo q remains on the current ladder giving players the choice of accessibility at the cost of specific comp selection
which then makes it a great tool for finding players you like to play with that are your rating fairly quickly to jump into more organized games
or solo qs separate ladder rewards cosmetics and titles separate from typical queues making both ladders appealing for different reasons but ultimately keeping organized arena the primary focus and most relevant end game for PvP

Soloqueue 6v6 RBGs too btw.

At this point… Any kind of solo queue would be better than what we have now…

Real talk does Tosan play anymore?
There are countless amounts of streamers who are/were crying for solo queue. And they’re dwindling one by one as time goes on… such a shame blizzard never listens…

I think he joined the army and is deployed
And here I am wondering why I can’t even do a 2v2 skirm as a healer. I have always wanted a solo ladder, good luck getting Blizzard to do anything.
I wish they would make this happen.

Great idea but let’s look at what blizzard did for pvp this expansion so far…
Scaling which makes no sense
Arbitrary random drops (this was in legion)
The return of conquest which makes capping take a lifetime and rewards nothing
And nothing else. blizzard is the worst
If they had comp filters id be down for soloq, if they dident thin prolly not tbh.
Agree with all your points (except #1 is a bit mean). I’d mainly like to see this for 6v6 or 7v7 RBGs though.
Like you, I too strongly disagree with the claim that WOW can’t have this because of comps (your #7).
- The reality is that classes that don’t fit into one of the meta comps have a hard time finding any group, let alone one that’s similar to their skill level. It’s better to allow those players to play, rather than preventing them from participating at all.
- It will be a truer way to expose class imbalances. Due to the random groupings based on class, we will have an unbiased view into which classes are over/undertuned. This is as close to scientific trials/testing as we can get in this game.
- So as to not overly penalize players who play these undertuned classes, there should be class or spec-based rankings and rewards (so for example, the best of <insert worst class/spec here> would still get a reward and recognition). Players who play with these undertuned classes/specs will be grouped with them as often as anyone else (thus it will be fair to them in the long-run too).
How much support do we need for a blue post?
Just going to add, participation is always going to be an issue, solo cue or not… if seasons can’t be effectively balanced. The could fix participation if changes were made quicker and more active tuning was done. Instead we get weeks to months of no changes and participation suffers. If the main reason people want to advocate a solo cue is needed on the basis of participation, then It’s going to fall short.
