Love sitting in LFG for 30 mins to get a horrible or toxic partner 98% of the time? Love not being able to progress in arena because you don’t have friends to play with? Love that you arn’t rich so you can’t get carried?
Okay to be serious I don’t think everyone has time to sit in LFG and have ‘‘fun’’ progressing in arena. Most of the time you won’t get matched with anyone good without having 2k achievement and waste all your time doing nothing… Personally I only play this game for PVP and fine myself not even being able to play most days which is ridiculous…
I think SOLO queues would be a good fix to this. Why shouldn’t you log on and be able to queue 1v1s if it’s obviously very very fun to do, and would help a lot of people to have fun! solo queues could also provide a new cool way for players to meet each other by allowing a chat log box in the arena if they are the same faction.
solo queue like they do in league or smite would be cool
lets add brackets too, like platinum, diamond, gold, silver, etc…
It would be cool, but it would probably have to be something besides 3 v 3, which is way too comp dependent.
They implemented solo queue on a private LK server and the highest rated people were literally just a few classes that meshed well into many comps. Can’t even imagine the complainers on this forum once solo queue gets implemented… Especially with the amount of flack blizzard already gets for its current balancing issues in 3v3. This alone is the reason they won’t do it, don’t want to give people another reason to complain.
I totally see what you are saying and I agree in some way, but every comp has a counter out there anyways so what’s the difference with 1v1? most high rated people would be doing their high rated 2s or 2s. what do you propose to the majority of people who cant ever find Q’s in the first place let alone high rated 3v3 arenas?
I want to log in and queue arena. Not sure why Activision won’t let me do that, they must want me to unsubscibe? I will probably unsubscribe soon without soloqueue, as the meta isn’t fun or interesting enough to justify spending 55% of my gametime doing chores, 40% in LFG window/waiting for partners, and 5% playing a very “meh” meta where Holy Pallies and Warriors just make everyone unkillable.
Add soloqueue already…
I only use lfg on this pally and it doesn’t take long for me to find people. I log on and click lfg and in arena in less than 3mins that could be because I’m playing a holy pally tho but I also can careless about my rating. My mind set is no matter how bad the player is if I can do a great job healing we will always win more than lose
I only have one concern against this… duel hero classes would dominate and if you dropped it in this season, you would have a bunch of unkillable tanks queuing up… making for long games which could go on forever… literally.
The only way I could see it work is if they put a 2-5min timer on it and if no one is dead you both lose.
I would say make a few new arenas specifically meant for 1v1s, add a few with pillars but make pillars not so big so kiting wont be an option the whole time. I think tanks would be a little outrageous in a 1v1 situation, I dont think tanks are meant for that.
The idea would be that you couldn’t queue with a predetermined comp. It would mean there would be matches where one side would get wholeheartedly stomped, however the RNG nature of it means that your likelihood of facing it would go down as opposed to now where, if your comp is weak to rogue/mage for example, you are very likely to run into them multiple times.
It would better reward individual strength as opposed to comp strength.
Benefits of soloqueue
- Players with communication impairing disabilities (mute/deaf) will have a more acceasible avenue for ranked play.
- Ladders being spec specific with rewards based strictly on ranking within that spec (a’la Savix) will allow everyone to play what they want instead of fotm rerolling
- Solo-queue brackets would be free of paid boosting.
- More people would participate in PVP overall, which would probably create more party ranked pvp as well.
Drawbacks of soloqueue:
- Blizzard will sell less wow tokens to be sold for gold to buy rating carries.
You’re not only a healer you’re a holy pally. Of course it’s easy to find groups.
This can be solved with an interface to select what class/spec you are willing to queue with, perhaps also choosing a limited number to not queue against. You would get matched with teammates accordingly.
