Not me. I only do Blitz to farm conquest, but once I get all my conquest gear I spam regular battlegrounds the rest of the season. Wonder if Blizzard thinks people like Blitz when it’s just the incentives making it look that way
I think some of the maps are way too big for 8 people, but other than that, yes blitz is fun. I’m excited for it to have an actual rating tied to it.

i like the scaling on some of the pve trinkets while in blitz
I prefer blitz, but the process of getting into a match is significantly worse than normal randoms. The ready check and needing to do it multiple times if even one person misses it is annoying. Also the 2 minute “prep” time in the starting area is far too long. It should be a minute, and they should include the new ready-up lever thing that they are adding for arenas in TWW.

100%, even though there will of course be the one troll who opts not to
Blitz is fun, especially at higher mmr where (usually) there are good players and everyone has at least 511 gear.
I wish people would stop thinking that randoms are “to gear” though. Blitz is far better to gear in and scales your gear up but you still see half the team in randoms with 700k health

leavers are also a bit of a problem in blitz
had a few games when a guy leaves even before the gates open
there’s also a bit too much spinning bases

Yes, As a casual pvp player it feels nice that i help my team out just by knowing my rotation and abilities, 7 people also helps take the weight off my shoulders so i’m way less stressed

I prefer blitz when playing solo, because it’s fairer, faster, and makes gearing more fun. But I like random BGs more when playing geared with my brother, over a couple of drinks, because we can dominate more and do interesting plays as two bursty dps and generally have more fun.
Blitz is more even safe experience, random BGs are more highs and lows.

Blitz doesn’t have massively undergeared people in it and there aren’t full premades to deal with if you are solo or duo queueing, so yeah… a lot of people are going to prefer Blitz.
Also, the lower number of people is more forgiving for melee in team fights. We’ve gone over all of this many times already, however.
If you want to queue with friends who are DPS or with more than two then Blitz sucks, naturally.

Blitz, Random, epic, and rated BGs are actually all awful and riddled with cheaters, people getting around premade queue limits, so honestly it’s all quite awful at this point because Blizzard doesn’t ban a single person
How are regular BGs nowadays in terms of feeling like it’s a pretty even matchup? Or do they feel like one way roflstomps. If you queue solo that is.
[edit] I like the normal BG rules that’s why. Blitz still felt like there’s not enough scaling for an honor-geared toon. Not sure why it can’t simply be honor gear and you’re GTG. If regular BGs are still full of premades I wouldn’t mind if they’re matched vs. each other; otherwise, not worth.
i did enjoy til erry teem turned into 3-4 mms 1shot ppl
Every bg format is so lopsided you rarely get the close nail biting games which makes it fun. You either stomp the other team or you get stomped.

In general I love it. Faster paced and better matchmaking, I have had very few blowouts like I used to see in regular.
I don’t even queue for regular randoms any more, even tho the queue is probably shorter. and random BG was almost all i’ve played for years, I like solo shuffle well enough, but if I could BGB to the pvp mount I’d probably never queue for it again.
In detail, I would prefer a smaller map pool with just WSG, TP, BFG, and SSM.
The other 3 maps, the mechanics feel kinda gimmicky, I love objective based play so much, but I strongly feel the objectives should also be simple. Especially for rated play.
Get the ball across the line, get the ball in the hoop,The classics, right?
Get both flags to your base. Hold 2 of 3 bases. That’s what a good objective focused game needs. A simple goal.
When it’s hold 3 of 5 bases, but only sometimes, and sometimes you can attack them and some times not and then they also decontrol themselves periodically, It’s too much.
OR even better than cutting the map pool, make some new CTF and 3 point control maps.
From what I can see the new map is 3 point control (IIRC) so I like that.

I prefer Blitz for the mount speed. Helps me get to where I’m needed faster.
Minor differences with how flags work, etc. but a BG is a BG IMO. I did hours of Random BGs for fun, will be a nice change of pace to actually get something for doing them in WW (and the last few seasons premades got so prevalent that solo queuing randoms stopped being enjoyable anyway).
I am a bit annoyed that they’ll give super awful conquest compared to every other rated bracket (at least with what’s been advertised so far).

honor geared toons have zero scaling. scaling only goes up to 512, which is below honor. that’s good enough for healers and casters to contribute a good amount, but melee will implode going near any type of deathball.
I hate normal bg’s now because of Blitz.
The mount speed is the best.
They need to change the mount speed in normal bg’s to that of Blitz.
