Arena carries

I am getting sick of carries in the lower bracket of the arena. 2v2 (1400-1800)
Surely I am not the only one who thinks something needs to be done about this. Every second game I verse a multi glad carrying a confused player through the arena as I genuinely break a sweat trying to live through final verdicts that almost 1 shot me at 30% vers.
My suggestion is to create a bracket system where if at any point in the season you go over 1400/1600/1800/2100 etc you cannot verse someone who hasn’t reached that cr, no matter if you have lost rating. This might not solve the carry “problem” entirely but they can verse themselves whilst the rest of us who are legitimately climbing can do so without being punished.

When I go against carries I usually make the person they’re carrying flop over and that ends the match.

Except its not always the case. If it was that ez then noone would complain about carries.

You use cd’s to make the carried person flop over then what? You got none for the 41khp carry.

A lot of the time too ppl being carried are competant 1600-1800 players on their mains but are just gearing an alt and want the rapid conquest

Focus on what i said. If you dissagree i implore you to come up with some context as to why.

You’re exaggerating on how many you face.
Yes there are some but every time I have queued I might face 1-2 out of 20-30 games.
Most games against carries anymore end up in a win for us because the person getting carried is really bad.
Just keep queueing and practice…

like how you focused on your family?

ur so cringey bro, this isn’t debate club, go raise your kid

I’m mean you talk about cringe yet you still come up with the same stale sht digs lol. Is it you projecting since daddy left for a pack of cigarettes and never came back? Here son, I’ll give you a hug.

Boosting a carry buyer is same as a gladiator helping his friend in lower bracket just by tanking MMR, it’s just the same. One is for gold and , another one is for friendship. PVP is bad for people who can only play through premade tool.

Holy smokes, I figured it out :weary: you must be Murk’s son… what a plot twist. That’s why you always dig at him about his parenting. :exploding_head:

:sob:

lmfao ur trying too hard

thanks man


you can do better lmfaoooo

Exactly. Boosting also creates the problem of ilvl inflation in lower brackets. For example a player who is boosted to 1800 now rocks 220 gear and thrn plays on their own and tanks down to 1400 and those “normal” players at 1400 haveto face him and lets be honest, if hes playing certain classes/specs the 220 guy will obliterate undergeared players just by clicking a couple buttons.

Its all round bad times and the game has suffered for it. The players in denial are just defending their own or a mates boosting

PVP mostly depends on friends, language barrier, how much gold you can spend , what specs you play atm , etc. For me language barrier is a problem too, since i cannot speak or listen english very well, it’s hard to communicate well with the people from premade tools. I don’t know, pvp depends on much other things than the skills. Some people don’t wanna accept that tho.

Explain how this:

Solves this:

I’d stand behind you in a thread to get Rets nerfed, but not only do I disagree with what you’re suggesting, I don’t even see how they’re related.

I agree 100%

You will never reach yoir true rating potential using strictly lfg, or no voice.

Players with privileges will rstings bash though pretty quick and ignore any factors involved

This topic has been beaten to death but I wanted to also add on that one of the best ways to avoid running into these carries and glad alts etc is to try to play outside of primetime

I was able to make an alt and push to 1800 within the past 2 months and this is my first expansion ever playing arena (albeit on the best melee in the game condemn go brr) but the biggest jumps in rating I had was when I played in the afternoon around 3 CST when I got off of work or in the late late night on weekends

The teams you run into will be much weaker than if you play during prime time

now that is some interesting feedback

need some peeps to test this out

One of my guildies mentioned it to me and after wallowing around 1600 for a few days I played from midnight to 3am and jumped to 1750.

Played a prime time session and went 8-8 and ended like 1770ish

Played 2 days later at 3pm and won 3 in a row. The first resto shaman didn’t even press astral shift.

All of this could be coincidental of course but I would like to think its valid at least for lower CR games

I have quite a lot of alts this expansion and I don’t seem to run into as many boosters as everyone else, I must be playing a different game.

Nevertheless, making the Gladiator title and mount account bound has skewed what you guys think are carries. No doubt there are carries, but ultimately over the span of hundreds of games, if you are meant to be higher CR, you will get higher CR. The game you lost against a booster is not keeping you down.
