Yea those are my 2 characters. Not sure why it was auto selected on the gnome. I dont use the forums. Also why dont you actually say something constructive about the actual post?
Here’s an idea too, take healers out of 2v2’s it’s not fun and is basically free rating for the healer/dps. You cant get glad or anything there anyways and most people think its a meme so at least make it fun by eliminating the buzzkill healer/dps that you have to constantly deal with.

typical ret player idea
Except then it’d just be like rss with certain specs that have enough self/sustain and control always winning.
Everybody already hates rogues and dh. Don’t give them a free bracket to run.
/sign for MMR reform
Oh, look, another one.

I mean I could queue healer/dps too but I just think it kinda kills the fun of it. Its completely different and with how strong healing is and off healing isn’t it’s a pain to deal with. I know some of you are being salty cuz you like your free rating.
Good to bare in mind that MMR is a cumulative aggregate number. As the season progresses, rating goes up across the board. Rating is typically low at the start of each season and new expansion.
While I’m sure RSS has impacted rated arena, I don’t think that is the only issue as into why rating is low atm.
Shuffle eating up the overwhelming majority of participation really is the issue.

Yea I definitely understand that. However the overall number is lower than the usual running average if you compare it to any of the last multiple seasons.
Also don’t expose me Jdeez, i’m clearly a mage player. XD

I wonder if adjusting “rated honor” and cq in 2s/3s would help?
Even with terrible queue times, going 3-3/4-2 almost maxes out a vault slot. 5-1/6-0 max out one guaranteed.
Beyond the cosmetic rewards (titles/mogs) rss is also massively easier to cap in.
can you imagine the actual nightmare of queueing into a coordinated arms/spriest/prevoker
id rather stick to rss and face no voice teams

We ran into a semi coordinated fmage/demo/rdruid and I was ready to uninstall.

I don’t think we have enough information to say that is the biggest reason. I’m not saying it’s not a part of it, but there have been other expansion where rating was VERY deflated at the start and Blizzard actively increased it on a per week basis.
Also, if participation is so high for RSS, why are queues still incredibly long? I have waited 50 minutes to end up in a match with people from the previous match.
I think we would need to look at the first season across all the other expansions. Not saying you’re wrong, I just think there are other factors at play. Given that no one is even fully geared yet, lots of people are still pretty casual with their grind.
Also, RSS is likely drawing in new players as well, so I would be curious what total games played looked like in arena right now compared to other seasons. Just looking at the ladder, looks like there are plenty of active players.

They just need to remove all rewards from shuffle that you can get in other rated pvp content. Maybe just keep all the titles and legend/crimson legend, then add in 1550/1750/2000/2200/2400/2700 RSS achieves like you get in 2s/3s.
There is no form of solo q rated content anywhere in the game so idk why shuffle is the exception. It should just be something to do when you cant find organized content, just like how ppl do random bgs or skirmishes.
Just look at the pve side, theres no solo q for m+ or normal/heroic/mythic raiding. They all need to organize groups, why cant pvp stay that way?
Since BFA they made all the pvp rewards much easier to acquire, solo was a little over the top with giving things out.
Because nobody wants to heal.
