If you’ve tried to do 5s you’ll notice the queue time is long, even getting a group for 5s is hard, because no one is really doing it. A suggestion to change it to a Solo Queue 5s is mostly a for fun thing where you play with 4 random people against a team of 5 other randoms for rating and conquest points. You would have most likely 1-2 healers a team since you can queue as a healer (The integrity of it might be bad at lower MMR’s, like a ret saying he’s a healer or something).
I was thinking if there was something to experiment with in PVP it would be 5s, you can’t get glad title from it and they got rid of skirmish, sometimes I just want to queue arena and not be too serious about it, I also find 5s to be the most fun version of arena not in a competitive sense but just fun.
I’m viewing this as someone who played league of legends a lot, when you want to play ranked you don’t need to make a team, you just queue and you’re put with 4 others with similar mmr/rating, I think 5s is the perfect place for this.
This should have been done for all arenas and all BGs. Everything is rated, can solo or group queue. mmr/rating will sort everything out. Easiest win in wow pvp history.
I’d actually play rated BG / arena if I could solo queue. Way too time consuming (and schedule conflicts) to play with a team. Isn’t league one of the most popular games in the world? Just copy their rated system.
Well you wouldn’t want to mix group queue into it, a decent 5 man team with voice would stomp most solo que, in league you can go solo or duo into a 5v5.
maybe not change it fully, but allowing a solo-queue would be fine imo
Impossible to get 2200 now, sucks for those who have it as the last achieve for Arena Master. A little inflation on the 5s brack would be cool
I would 100% queue it just for fun or to gear an alt
5 mans would inevitably end up fighting other 5 mans.
I’d actually play max level in wow again if there was a solo rated queue (not retail’s shuffle nonsense). Until then I’ll just BG on lvl 81’s. Imagine the participation explosion if solo queue was a thing. The ladder would be pumping. Ratings would be inflated to the extreme. R1’s would probably be 3.6 k rated or something.
