Arena with dps only?

PVP Arenas

Thoughts? I know it won’t happen but I feel like it would be way more fun and allow for tons of comps. That’s no tanks either.

nah would be bad

prob wouldn’t be any strategy

dk/ret/ret
dh/ret/ret
dh/ret/ele

on paper it sounds like without a healer you’d have to be very aware but in reality outside of maybe rogue mage x it would probably just be whichever ret or ele is better at making sure his dh/dk have maximum uptime

God remember back in the day when Braindeadly ran triple dps Ret/Hunter/Rogue and got decently high? That was actually a nightmare to vs.

It’s rly horrible idea we just need a fast meta where class strengths shine + ur easily punished + games are over in 2 min

I think 2s would be a lot more fun without healers.

I support this idea, at least for 2v2. Since my former teammate (a Destro Warlock) leave the game i started to play only with healers. It’s ok, but was more fun before. Playing with a healer against another team who have also a healer make the game go around about, most of the time, the same strategy: make enemy healer waste mana, make your healer save mana.

This is what there needs to be in arenas:

2v2 --> Double DPS Only Bracket
2v2 --> DPS/Healer Only Bracket
3v3 --> DPS/DPS/Healer Only Bracket
3v3 --> OPEN Bracket

I would guess that the VAST majority of play would be in the 2v2 --> Double DPS Only Bracket because it is fast and fun. Healing just slows the game and makes it way more tactical. . . which is what 3v3 is for. Heal/DPS vs. DPS/DPS is annoying because all they have to do is play uber defensive.

U know once u get above 1400 q’s are like 10 minutes a game? Splitting a dead bracket into 3 more won’t solve anything

Yeh I can see what people are saying. I just know for 2s it’s so much more fun, even when you face dh/dk. I could see 3s benefiting from not having a healer in the same way. I feel like with dps only, there’s always a chance to win no matter the comp, which makes it exciting.

if you didn’t regularly make stupid posts I’d assume this was a typo for “above 2400”
its not tho, this is just the level of rhetoric we’re on

Have you considered that the bracket is dead because people don’t want to jump through hoops to play quick games? Do you really think everyone that would be willing to queue in a different system is currently queueing in this one?

12

People aren’t not playing the game because a double dps 2’s bracket doesn’t exist

13

Are you familiar with the concept of compound causes?

A double dps queue absolutely would bring more people into queueing arena overall, whether it’d cause attrition to 3s or not.

Same way solo queue RBGs would bring vastly more people into RBGs than currently play them.

You’ve gotta be some kind of disconnected from reality to not understand the social dynamics involved there or why those statements are true. You’re visibly an antisocial creature yourself and the evidence of it is baked into how you carry yourself on the forums, so I can’t imagine your remarks on the topic being related to anything other than your noted tendency towards contrarianism-as-a-personality.

Thank u I’m so happy u read everyone of my posts I’m not sure who u r but I’m sure ur very clever! :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:
Yeah when participation has been high the game has been engaging, fast paced, good rewards the list goes on!!! But ur right, I think it was just some weird coincidence and the only thing holding it back has been the ability to q double dps 2’s

The “ability” to queue double dps 2s was much more prominent in earlier expansions before the entire pacing of the game changed in such a way that live-lord healing became so much more common.

I’m fairly certain you didn’t even play this game before dampening made its mark on class/role design.
Double DPS 2s used to be extremely popular.

People are requesting DPS-only 2s queues now in higher volume than they did back then because they’ve given up hope on double dps and healer comps in 2s ever having the levels of parity they once had again.
If you understand the way the introduction of dampening affected the design of healing specs and the overall meta of the game, it’s not hard to see why nobody has hope in that.
