i don’t even think its a wow thing, this hesitancy to compete is seen in all esports and the online world all of a sudden, its like people don’t want to fail or be seen failing so they avoid doing anything they know they won’t be successful at.
PvP on an even playing field.
40 man bgs are so close to LFR in content that I don’t even consider them. If this is what you are peddling, miss me with that nonsense. It barely even resembles PvP.
If people want to premade bgs so much, why not do RBGs? Why are RBGs dead if premades are so popular? Well, that is easy. It is because premade people don’t want to face people that may be able to stomp them.
And again, “epic” bgs are the biggest joke in WoW, even lower than LFR for content.
Even on the boards you have ratings shaming. Low win percent in BGs? You’re the common factor and must be bad so your opinion doesn’t matter. Lifetime duelist is some kind of insult.
nah, you see plenty of rated and seasonal mounts in randoms and epics. seems people are more than willing to participate in MMR balanced content. i think people like unrated because the regulations are more loose.
sounds like you can’t hang.
thats easy, the rewards for unrated are casual, personal, and always there. rated has two factors that cause frustration:
1: you will be judged by others by your CR rating
2: you must win to get your limited time reward
this means rated losses are felt with a triple whammy, first, you lost a game you were legit trying to win, second the CR loss (assuming MMR is balanced), which if you are climbing means you just went down, never fun, but you will be judged by your CR, if you want to get into other groups or climb or even just argue on the forums. and third, you didn’t get any progress on your reward or worse, if it is rating based, you went backwards and now have to put in twice as much work to get to the point you had expected to get before that loss. and that is without dealing with toxic raging in discord or chat from other players over losing, which then causes the group to fall apart and you now have to start the whole process of finding a group and being judged by your CR and
class usefulness in the current meta all over again. with that on the line for losing, close games don’t feel thrilling, they feel stressful and hectic, especially if you are close to your reward.
compare that to unrated where if you lose, you still got honor, still got progress on your honor level, and can just queue up and get in another game.
yeah, you can’t hang, its okay, as long as you enjoy what you do.
this will get spoken by one of two people:
1: people who have never pushed this rating legit or played anywhere close to that MMR and think walking up in a bg and blowing all their CDs killing a duelist with all his CDs spent from a previous fight means they are a duelist level pvper.
2: people above that rating who despite succeeding still feel insecure inside and need to make other’s feel bad in order to make themselves feel that much more special.
You are a lifetime 1750 3s player.
You are a lifetime 1700 RBG player. You know all about not being able to hang. “epic” bgs are full of bad pvpers, so you fit in well.
It’s top 3%, crazy justification. Everyone pays the same sub.
feel free to sync your RBG team into epics to face me, the horde could use some help atm. 5:30-8:30ish pm pacific time most nights.
Cool, enjoy your tourist PvP/PvE game mode while you and 39 other lifetime challengers (or substantially less) kill people that are AFKing AV after work lmao.
should be an easy warmup for you then
Yes it would be. I am suffering from 2nd hand embarrassment for you. I’m actually becoming convinced that you don’t know how pathetic this all looks for you lmao.
i mean, if you want to be an elitist by all means, i don’t think i helps to overinflate ones own ego and underestimate people who just sit in a single format all day, but you do you.
Doesn’t stop you from trying though, does it?
trying what? you came into this thread saying premaders are all cowards and are acting like you could take us all, when i said go ahead and try you are acting like i tried to chicken out or something.
They are.
No, you offered to have me come in and face your “team of cowards” in a trash PvE game mode lmao. “Epic” bgs are a joke. Sorry if this makes you feel less than.
No, I think you have built this persona in your own mind of who you are and I think it is a joke. Again, sorry if you cannot deal with this.
Just by watching it, lol.
The scene was dying in BfA.
In SL, they added solo shuffle as an attempt to garner interest.
DF, it becomes its own mode with ranked.
TWW is giving us solo ranked battlegrounds via Battleground Blitz.
I had friends I played some arena with in early DF, they quit and never came back (I can’t blame them, I hate arena) so I’m glad they’re going in this direction.
They should have never focused on arenas. Not fun nor good for PvP, WoW isn’t meant for small deathmatches. Always the same classes on top in there, too, just play melee.
telling you to “bring it” would indicate otherwise.
it doesn’t, why do you feel the need to make me feel less than you? this attitude alone is why im not scared of you.
sounds like projection.
look i don’t really care about your pvp record, what achievements you have, if you want to talk big, then act big, if you win, you win, its no skin off my back and i will go back into queue.
we all know you won’t show though. if you beat me, that is to be expected, but if i beat you…well you can’t risk it, what was the word for that?
oh right, thank you.
What an incredibly insane thought process. “Let me invite you to fight me and 39 other people that I brought.” You have to be smarter than this man, you have to be. I don’t believe you could be this inept.
This is your choice and probably just a dose of reality hitting you. On the other hand, I don’t give moments notice to what you think of me. I take your dumb offers about as serious as my nephew wanting to fight me when he is 5 years old.
You shouldn’t be. I don’t LARP that “epic” bgs are PvP lmao. You won’t see me.
You have an inferiority complex. Talk to someone else about it. I don’t care.
This hasn’t a thing to do with that. You are playing (seriously playing, I might add ) in the most non-competitive “PvP” game mode in this entire game and doing it with the deck stacked in your favor. Incredibly stacked. So yeah, you are a joke to me.
If you want to compete go do 3v3 arena. If you don’t want to compete go play your nonsense premade LARP PvP game mode.
i don’t assume you will queue solo, thats why i said to sync your whole rbg team in, bring what you got, lets see it.
realistically i don’t expect you to win even if you did that, you don’t understand epics and it would take some time before your team could stand up to mine in both pvp skill and map strategy/knowledge.
i do sometimes, im only 1 CR behind you atm.
You’ve got 1750 3s achievement. Grats lmao.
LMAO. Biggest joke on the forums. Take the L. Went ahead and muted you, I can’t spend all day dealing with some joke of a player pleading for my approval.
Enjoy doing 40 man premades vs AFK honor farmers.
Edit: Not reading your nonsense reply. I think the way you play this game is pathetic and the idea that you get an ego out of it makes me think you live and incredibly sad and destitute life.
