About the reddit pvp "changes"

I would imagine BGB is going to replace RBGs more than anything.

As an arena addict I can assure you that BGB will not even come close to scratching the itch. It is an extension of BGs, not arena.

RBGs will almost assuredly not make it to the expansion after TWW; however, the RBG population is already so low that it won’t really be “replacing” it from a population stand point

I’m sure there are a lot of people who agree, though that wasn’t really up for debate. The question is what version of arena is eventually removed. Despite the perceived benefit to the future of the game, arena isn’t going anywhere

While true, it’s ultimately just a better solo queue option for people to gain seasonal rewards

Meh. You’re ability to meaningfully influence the match in rated play with so many people is completely diminished. This is why Overwatch 6v6 went to 5v5, and even in 5v5 it feels like you can play perfect and get your butt kicked. It’s a terrible feeling. Who knows, maybe it will do well but when you attach rating to something like that it becomes really frustrating when you play perfect and still lose.

this isn’t anywhere near as true as some would have you believe. rogues, for example, will have massive opportunities to influence games, and healers will have much more control over the outcome. it’s silly to me when people act like there are significant opportunities in RSS to directly influence the game outside of landing “clutch” CC which also can and will exist in BGB

OW went to 5v5 because 6v6 with 2-2-2 was impossible to balance which hindered their ability to introduce new characters. it had very little, if any, to do with someone having meaningful influence.

personally, losing SS rounds because your teammate died in africa, or your healer stood in the center of the map and ate avoidable CC, or you were the only caster in a melee lobby, or you were the only melee in a caster lobby, or going 3-3 and gaining 0 rating, etc all feel much, much worse than losing a BG and going next

If you think your ability to consistently influence the match in 10v10 is anywhere near 3v3 you’re on some serious cope.

BGB is 8v8, and RSS is not traditional 3v3

my ability to influence the outcome of a 3v3 match that i’m playing with friends against another premade team is absolute

that same ability is no where near absolute in RSS, and i don’t see how one could begin to compare the two without the aforementioned copium

This is complete nonsense. Your ability to influence RSS is generally no different then 3v3. Judging by your arena ratings it doesn’t seem like you have much room to stand on the subject anyway.

this is blatantly not true

ahh the ol’ “well you’re rating isn’t as high as i’d like so you must be wrong” approach

not a single insult was hurled in this thread until the DH main who’s only really seen success this season (go figure) couldn’t actually argue in favor of RSS

such a disappointment

Can lie and make accusations all you want. Clearly the doxxing didn’t work lol.

Reflex to disprove me, then.

Not going to keep posting in a thread where everyone is doxxing. Clearly blizz has shown you can have zero merit or evidence and report people and stuff will happen. Why would I take that chance?

Reporting cheaters in a video game is now doxxing huh?

Meh. You know what I mean.

i haven’t trolled a single time in this thread actually

meanwhile, you tried to say OW going to 5v5 had to do with players having “meaningful influence” over the game which was patently false

so, who’s trolling?

ahh so you bought the rating

it all makes sense now

Bunch of trolls were mad so they said I was. Completely false.

judging by your previous ratings and recent attitude, it’s almost certainly not false

i guess we will see as the season comes to a close. i look forward to checking to see if your mount makes it to s4

NHL hockey is something I watch over 82-120 games a season, NBA is something that is an abomination.
