blizzard’s goal is to increase player count, solo shuffle was a good try, maybe we can try a mode with no cc, no kick, no pillar? Personally i play wow just for fun nowadays, and it is most fun when I oneshot someone with something like conduit/big execute/big aimshot, and I am most frustrated when I am cc’d/kited/los’d/kicked (especially there are 3 of them). So i would think a mode with 0 cc, 0 kick, no pillar could be fun?
maybe cc is just part of wow pvp but this game has been 20 years old, maybe it is time to try something now. it is very hard to get into this game for a new player, and pvp is even a way harder mode because people need to understand DR, other spec, setup a million addons just to get started. games like league has 6 buttons, no gearing required, I can download the game, go through tutorial and start to have my fun in less than 1 hour.
without new players joining pvp will die eventually. It is very hard to get a queue pop after 2k in all modes, and it is even harder to get an LFG invite as a dps…
