Battleground blitz is the stupidest mode in wow. /rant

PVP Battlegrounds

So this mode is the absolute worst. You randomly get paired with players who on average are terrible and wearing greens. I started queing for these once my characters had full epics and gems. There should be a high item level requirement so that people in greens aren’t joining.

I just want to get 1600 on my mage and right now I’ve played 27 games and only have 9 wins. in these games i was top dmg in 90% of the games. Top kills in 50% or more, I’m constantly saving teammates, winning teamfights, ccing and interupting heals, calling targets and strats, using waypoints. I’m going to have a heart attack playing with these people in this mode. This mode is like gambling, it’s so stupid.

It’s stupid that healers can que with DPS. Isn’t the point of the “solo” BG to be SOLO??? Why the heck can healers que with DPS??? I’m sure people are using all sorts of other questionable and illegal mechanics to get in the same BG as well.

GRRRRRRR

They probably saw that a lot of healers didn’t wanna heal shuffle.

I wish brawling got a buff because 99% of the time it’s better to just focus on ignoring pvp and taking objectives. Like, a lot of fighting is pointless and a waste of time/cds when you literally just need to be elsewhere on the map either ccing somebody to take their base or killing the efc.

Like, also numbers can be kind of misleading. I’ll do top dmg by 20% but none of it really matters; what matters is that nobody was able to take my node from me.

This.

Kills and even damage in general means nothing in bgs, all that matters is where you are standing currently. And people can’t even manage that.

They should add location dots to our maps for enemies that are not in stealth or invis. This change would make it 10x easier for people to decide where to go in these BGs, and we can focus more on combat (fun) instead of figuring out where to go (not fun). The dots would let us more easily match numbers/strength at the most relevant objectives, which is typically the best way to play BGs.

No more relying on INC calls from players under attack, or trying to use nameplates to track enemies around the BGs.

It has gotten so bad that they do not even have a topic for it anymore.

Thet do not even have a topic about pvp any longer.

This whole week I only won three rated bgs, I know I will get spammed try harder.

One person cannot lose the bg for the whole team unless they bot and drop the flag at the other people’s team, I have seen it and have the stream five times and how do you report that in a rated bg?

You can’t do it at the end I tried.

You send a report to support, and they tell you to come here.

You call the people out in here; they take down your post or ban you.

You get mad and cuss they block your account for a month.

You call out a gm that you see playing with these people and they ban you.

Who do you turn to in a game that should be fair and balanced?

It’s not.

This post, like my others, will go unnoticed or a GM will flag it because they believe the game is simply fine but it’s not.

When you drop 100 ratings in a week because the game is allowing people to cue and leave cue 15 times in a role to allow bots to get in the game then you are on the horde team all week long , I don’t play horde , I have not been on a ally team all week and know i did no choose it be on it .

I got to 1500 ranking and then this started, bounced from 1398 to 1430 now back to 1397.

People will say get good, I play my part, which is not the issue.

The issue is this game allows too many bots to play or they set up to lose rank at 1500 so you can’t get to 1500 unless you do something else besides rated battle grounds.

I’m a BM hunter and in a single or twos bg I don’t stand a chance and would lose more rating.
I know my limit.

I am looking for answers not people that give me issues every time I post the gm does nothing to them, but I respond and get banned.

Something must change; it has truly gotten out of hand.

Target the player, right click their profile, click ‘report player’, select ‘gameplay sabotage’, give details:

You shouldn’t be sending tickets at all.

Support can’t help you.

Reporting to the forums can’t help you.

Unless you have some sort of insider information, there should be no way for you to determine who is a GM.

Blitz is cross faction, you don’t get to choose which side you’re on.

Instead of focusing on, how can I top the meter, focus on objectives. Think, how can I contribute to having my team gain the most points possible. From start to finish, the Solo BG gives you 10-15 min to fail or succeed at getting more points than the enemy.

For a Rogue or Feral that could mean sending me, the enemy MM to the graveyard 5 times or taking bases, for a Blood DK that could mean committing felony abduction of the enemy healer priest, for a MW it could be torpedoes and rolls across the whole map(until tomorrow) and teliporting every time an enemy gets close while you flag carry.

Whatever you do or dont do with the 10-15 min given, will decide what scoreboard points you contributed to. Most of the time, just killing enemies wont net the result you want, which I would imagine is wins, higher rating, cosmetics.

Sometimes you’ll have teammates doing things you don’t like. Thats a given, but you control you, unless mind controlled, just do what you can to help, gain points.

This.

Honestly, RBGBs has gotten so gross, sweaty, and try-hard - full of whiny, entitled life-time 1500s who are convinced that every loss is due to some grand conspiracy involving Premades and/or Win-traders at 1200 MMR - I won’t bother queueing without a good frien. I literally can’t do it without a good frien. Good frien keeps me sane. :dracthyr_heart:

Lotta people don’t grasp that other players keeping you locked down is usually the winning strat.

Seen a lot of people scream " orb,orb,orb" while grabbing one and waltzing solo in 7 ppl camping mid after.

Dont Brick your toons, just play on an alt you dont care about, Tuesdays adjustments should help some hopefully, better balanced teams.

Damage 100% doesn’t mean nothing.

The system for reporting players is caveman like, it seems timeless and primitive. During Blitz, if you want to report someone you must do it quickly before the game ends and while you have to stand still because you must write the reason in the comment, it can confuse the rest of the team, which is why no one does it and the evil ones who sabotage games They leave unpunished. Waste of time since you never know if a player proceeded because the reporting system is a bot to which someone receives a certain amount of reports no matter the reason or if it is real it gives them self-punishment.

You can go check out the CS forum if you’re curious how the reporting system works and how account actions are handed out.

Good point… It should not be the players job to police Blizzards game, all this stuff going on, Blizzard knows. If they wanted to shut it down they could, I bet they are doing what they did in the past. Blizzard is watching, and studying whats going on.

Time will tell.

You Keep Blitz Out yo G’dam mouth!

It easily can, it just depends. Lots of people at lower ratings focused on padding meters pointlessly.

If you kill enough players fast enough, you can take objectives without requiring as much time and CC, and could even demoralize some enemies into afking or leaving early. IRL example: 10 seconds into a paintball match you spent $500 on gear for you take 3 paintballs to your facemask where your mouth is. Your lip is bleeding and hurts. You’re “dead” unless the match rules allows you to be resurrected. Do you Rez if possible or even play the next match? Do you instead reevaluate your life choices and determine how badly damaged your lip is? Rage quiting happens, why people rage quit can include boat loads of damage. 1/5 of my SS matches someone leaves early.

Kills come with damage but sometimes damage comes alone.

Kills don’t even guarantee objectives.

True. Kills to get objectives gets points. Points and wins is the goal. The best of us can be so effective other players nope right out of the match early. That can make points and wins easier.

Especially when the Kill Target is a Disc Priest stalling at a Graveyard in DWG having 4 of my team mates trying to DPS him while his team casually caps the whole map.
