Battleground Blitz

maybe best thing blizz has done for pvp. Loving the insta queues.

Can you explain what is good about it. I prefer the more deliberate pace of a traditional BG.

I just wanted RBG’s without having to use the current group finder.

The fast pace will definitely take some getting used to, BUT totally worth it to have a chance at more competitive BGs.

I havent got to test because people wanna play with me and declining would be rude

You can duo queue with a healer.

Battleground Blitz is perfect for my wife and I. We’ve always done yolo RBGs for conquest and then spammed normal BGs after we got capped/geared. We prefer the challenge of playing against others with full gear and similar skill, but loathe the hassle of waiting around in group finder.

I like the idea of becoming rated because I think it will be the most accessible for casual players.

You only need 4 healers for 12 DPS so queues are fast. The new gameplay is cool (cant ghost bases or they uncap) and battlegrounds are a lot of peoples favorite form of PvP.

RBG’s have been dead and is just full of queue dodgers that sit at Rank 1 for an entire xpac which causes people to just not do it. This will add some spice to the rated battleground scene and increase players.

I hope when the real solo RBG comes out they make it truly solo queue. No pre made groups. Also get rid of the conquest for losing. Way to many people afking lastnight :expressionless:

You only get conquest for a close loss, so if you AFK your team probably won’t do well enough for a close loss right?

i dont like that bases uncap, not sure why it cant be more like regular BG

Im not entirely sure. I know i was getting 31CQ points after every loss

It’s so you don’t have to sit there defending a base all game, which can be boring.

The thing is

The immunity is so short, it’s frequently better to just stay in the area anyway.

By the time you mount, go to another base, and cast a few spells - you have to leave combat, mount, and go back to cap the base you left from

Yea it’s worth noting that even with duos they can only que together if one is a healer if I understand correctly. 2 dps can not que

Im surprised more people arn’t upset with the healer requirement for duos. My brother and I were excited for duo blitz but neither of us play healer. Why is this a requirement?

Exactly what I was going to say. Base sitting is still the strat.

Its not truly solo queue if you can queue with someone
