Im just going to get straight to the point with this one. Arena boosting is actually turning the 2-2.4k bracket toxic. Literally every other team you que into is someone paying for a “gold carry”. I’m all for someone making some side hustle but its kind of triggering when your whole que session is into r1/tournament players boosting someone. When this went from being frowned upon is now acceptable. What happened to the days where we would slander boosted peoples accounts.
I just don’t get why blizzard has now deemed this ok. Also the people in the high end community talk about how the game needs to be fixed and blah blah blah. Well here’s a big issue and you guys are creating it. The pvp community is already niche enough do we really wanna completely turn away people because they get stomped in a 3v3 by 15x R1 rogue/mage carrying a priest for 2mil gold?
I’m gonna be honest here, if you think every other game are boosters at that bracket you are super wrong. You will end up going against one maybe 1 in 10 games dude. Stop spreading misinformation. And even if you do, they are playing with a handicap. If you lose to them you are losing 2v3 or if its 2’s 1v2.
Well it depends on your mmr and your times but yeah you do actually. I mean in the end wouldn’t you rather just play with people around your same skill level like it used to be? Or do you enjoy queing into Snutz/Chanimals/X when your trying to do your gladiator push? The truth is man its just not healthy for a game when there’s just an HUGE influx in boosters and its deemed allowed. Idc personally if its for gold because i can almost guarantee they are buying that gold with real life money.
Idk man, there’s alot of reasons why it sucks not just queing into them. You end up LFGing those kids later and they have their “gladiator” from last season but they don’t even know how to cycle cds. It’s just all around bad for the game.
But hey man honestly if you don’t mind it thats totally fine. Im just kind of beating around to see what others are saying or thinking on this topic since its been bothering me alot lately.
Not true. I played 13 games in 2300 bracket today for my glad push and 9 out of 13 games had players who were 2600 rated carrying a 2200 player. Faced multiple r1s too at 2300 bracket.
Idk dude I’ve played every bracket a ton and barely see any carries anywhere. Also just because someone has been high rated in a prior season doesn’t mean they are that good this season. MY friends list is filled with people who used to be r1 and now are just hard stuck 2200.
Yeah man 100% agree. I just went through my Reflex and went through some of my losses and wins and its just a bunch of R1’s on their mains doing boosts. I just don’t see the harm in making it against TOS. Just disable gold carries. All I see is a positive outcome from that.
It sucks because this gear tier system extremely benefits boosting. This is the worst boosting has been EVER. 233 Booster can wipe a entire team of 200ilvl players by himself.
The idea “I’m fighting a glad” or “I’m fighting r1 players I can’t win” is such a bad mindset. After every loss my team tries to figure out what went wrong and adjust for the next time we face that comp. I truly believe that if we stick to what we discussed and practice execution we can beat most teams. I refuse to give up just because I’m fighting mag or cdew or any renown player for that matter. If you want to get better take it as an opportunity to learn unless you wanna be hard stuck whatever rating you are at.
