shuffle merely only had to be below average to explode in popularity compared to premades.

Now its my time to shine! Bring on the inflation 
Edit⌠I will say tho last night I was queing 3s at 2.1 mmr and you would have thought they were awc games. Multiple r1 teams and literal sweaty matches. Was brutal fun but brutal so some inflation will def be good for the bracket.
More incentives for my 1500 brethren? Iâm curious what will come of this.

Hmm this will be interesting
Probably sparkles on the seasonal ground mount.
I hope not.
Incentivizing one shouldnât be done at the cost of de-incentivizing the other.
Nuking conquest gains will suck no matter what or where they do it.
There needs to be better incentives than just gear currency.
Revamp the honor level system, itâs horrific. I donât even pay attention to it because itâs so bad and awkward.
What about a tabard or cosmetics for winning a certain amount of games per season?
Like the bloody tabard. I thought that was cool af when I started playing. I get now that itâs just a participation trophy for winning 300 arenas, but still, something is better than nothing.
They have the mount now, but once you get that itâs just saddles which become useless and unsellable lol.
Semi-cool participation and moderate success trophies are better for everyone.
More people queuing = more in the ladder = natural inflation.
And more fun.

Well thereâs baseline inflation and activity inflation
For example MMR cap is 3300 with max participation (thatâs what it is in shuffle)
The MMR cap used to gradually be raised when they were putting in passive inflation like in past seasons
But it hasnât changed at all
Shuffle will prob get more inflated as well too but so will 3s is what I assume will happen but at least that means people can get gladiator in 3s which will increase participation

agree and disagree
i donât know if i personally would call it de-incentivizing but shuffle shouldnât give access to the season elite set / tabard / enchant
it should offer an armor type elite set like we had in bfa+sls1 and potentially a different tabard for 2400 with legend
shuffle is a really cool addition that crushes a lot of the barriers to entry
but rewards coming from 3v3 would be the incentive that make lfg worth using
and lfg being worth using naturally fixes a lot of the issues lfg had
100%
honor level system is probably too far gone at this point but it was such a missed opportunity
it had the potential to be such a cool âevergreenâ system that just added too the game for free

BFA s1 and s2 had the warfront + normal pvp / elite sets. The alliance bfa s1 elite plate is my favorite in game (also first elite set I got, but itâs still gorgeous ). Great idea that they could/should implement.
Basic recolors of things is simple, cool, and a great way to incentivize players who like to collect stuff.

What are you talking about?
WOW⌠Rating Inflation? This smacks of âparticipation trophiesâ being handed outâŚ
This is only the forced inflation though. Natural inflation will happen when people queue
Is 300 people getting glad good for the game?
Should it be THAT prestigious??
Its pretty much only r1 players at that mmr rn and the ladder is deaddd so theres no natural inflation
and whats wrong with that? if itâll help inflate the ladders who cares at the end of the day?

so as i suspected. rating inflation would kick in the 2nd half of the season, they just did it different with no inflation at all at the start.
Good to see they addressed the problem rss is causing for 2s and 3s population to be noted and in the works for a incentive/fix.
