Can we ban forever the boosters in solo shuffle?

I’m getting tired of priests not pressing void shift on my team every single round, or palas not pressing sac when they should… Why is there no IQ requirements for this game mode?

Poor play =/= boosting

I hate to break it to you but you may have the same IQ as the people you’re in a lobby with.

I bet you look just like your wow character IRL. :rofl:

Similar muscle mass some would say. If you could take any Kul Tiran trait irl why would it be the defined chin and jaw line?

What is your explanation of poor play on my team and AWC level on the other team?

Totally agree with this. The botting and boosting is pretty obvious at this point. Bad play isn’t boosting though. I actually had a rogue accuse me of cheating on my mage since I got lucky and rooted his grapple and disrupted some other CD of his. At that point I was basically mashing all the buttons to try to break the stunlock, blast him back, and root him. He was pissed and thought I was boosting or cheating. Sometimes face-smashing the keyboard actually works.

There is a difference between poor play and when someone just refuses to press buttons, while on your team. Then on the enemy team they play perfectly.

Bro i was in a lobby with another destro which he was clearly wintrading with the hpal in that lobby and blizzard doesn’t do a thing lol… the destro im talking about is realization, dipi was in the same lobby and confirmed that they were both wintrading lmao

I wonder how he has another destro with 400 games hard stucked 2500 and the other at 2.7 with less than 200 games LOL

Blizzard just wont take any action on wintrading and its frustrating af lol

i mean how do u even boost in ss? and even if u did, would it be profitable for the boosters, given the ss queue times.

Sit there and decline queues on a similarly rated char until you get each other than throw matches.

No, which is why it isn’t a thing in any meaningful capacity. Imagine not only waiting 2 hours to get into the same lobby from all the declines but also having to rank up the booster char afterwards, but not too much.

It’s usually an end of season thing where people need one or two good lobbies to slide into cutoff reliably. Not a low-mid or even relatively high rated thing.

I’m not even kidding when I say this. A few times I tested out taking a solo-shuffle queue at literally 1 second remaining if my prior queue canceled out (like someone didn’t take it).

When I got into the lobby in the 2 games I did this, 1 person both times either didn’t play at all or quit out of the lobby (disconnected).

Very strange experience. I’m not sure if that messes up queue-syncing for them, but I’d urge everyone to wait until the last second to take their queues to make it at least more annoying for queue-syncers (if it does actually happen).

The boosters are coming, the boosters are coming.

All of them in the top 200 win trade , boost, pilot, or bot.

i was invited to a discord with 2 multi r1s after a shuffle.

Yes, they are actually using discord when they get lobbies together, while not against TOS i don’t think? its still disgusting.

Oh, and why do you think they all have 10 alts of the same class?

They are abusing the mmr system.

Once they their cr catches up to their mmr they ditch that character and try again with a different one.

That’s why a lot of people have low games played but are high rated,

Not too far off the mark aside from the cheating stuff, honestly. :dracthyr_a1: It is funny to play char for one day and be done with cr.

Cap out hop on next one

Lotta people also have 2-3 accs for soloq

? it’s extremely easy if you are running multiple accounts

literally just spam que and drop on the healers you are playing until the dps gets the pop. If you have 4+ accounts rotating que you will get it almost every time. Not that many games going on above even just 2100 at the same time, especially during the day or early morning.

It’s still way faster to do that, even if you are actually good, than to just sit in que as dps and play normally. These guys are willing to work for sub min wage. We have all seen fresh healer accounts with 5k+ games played that bounce between 1800-2100 seemingly whenever they feel like it.

Or the people with private profiles dominating 3-0 on one team then randomly chasing a healer doing nothing for 1-2 rounds. When you get those lobbies as healer and you just stop caring and go 0-6 they start whispering you in broken english talking trash. If you think that’s a legit lobby you have just never actually played healer or you don’t inspect the sus healers when you play dps.
