DEVS PLEASE bring back glad in 2s/5s on retail also. It would encourage participation

I really like the idea that the MOP devs are listening.

They are trying something different to help pvp thrive.

I would love to see 5s brought back at least for one season a year, add glad to it, keep glad in 2s and let’s see how things pan out.

At this point, motivation/participation is so bad - that this would do nothing but help the game.

Please consider it.

I think 5s would just be like RBG-lite and wouldn’t see much participation beyond carry’s for cash. Whoops, I mean gold.

or just give them their own reward because the only thing 3s has is glad lol…

I think they took it out of 2s because it’s not a competitive bracket. If they brought it to shuffle we’d see even higher numbers than we already have. It’s better to specialize in what’s already doing well and participation would skyrocket. You would see healers from all over the game queuing shuffle to get their legendary mount.

Idk if shuffle really deserves a mount. A new one for 2s would be pretty cool, though.

giving it to 2s would at least maintain it’s difference from solo q options.

Blitz/Shuff give elite, but no glad
Organized arena, 2s & 3s give glad

it wouldn’t be a top 5 most outlandish changes they’ve made

Ye, that’d be great. :dracthyr_nod: Deathblow to solo queue.

Really good change for classic because 3s is basically dead, and after 2200 theres no point really pushing 2s at all even though it would be the most balance place to be in (cata with damp/mop).

You could never have 2s glad in retail due to how crazy strong some specs are. If double dps comps like ret/demo and mage/boomy arnt fighting healer/dps at the top of the ladder then their wont be enough comps to actually play except rdruid/x.

Yup, 2’s imbalance is probably why it won’t have glad again.

All of the same people who owned people in 2s went on to own people in 3s.

2s has been the most popular bracket ton retail now for 2 seasons. It really should have its own unique reward and incentive.

Its clear at this point, if you incentivize stuff, people will play it.

2’s is the most popular bracket?

Historically yeah aside from random bgs and skirms.

Not right now because solo queue is still giga free mmr and much easier.

This has always been the strangest stance to defend the bracket not having glad. 3v3 balance has basically never been good, and has often been absolutely just as imbalanced as 2s.

2s not having Glad was fine and nice under the old system, but under the current one, there needs to be more done to incentivize people to play organized arena, and 2s glad would help that.

It has been the most popular bracket for awhile.

3’s is the deadest it has ever been in the history of the game.

All that said, I just want everything incentivized, let people play, have fun, if they want to do 2s, let them do it and get a cool reward.

What does it hurt at this point? Every streamer has left retail, minus Ven. They are all on LOL.

A lot of people enjoy WOW and would prefer to see things experimented with.

If things stay the way they are, the same result will keep happening. Which is a sub drop off from PVPers.

I know, people say 3s is mega balanced, but anyone who does 3s knows you can literally get one shot by anything that is fotm for the season lol.

In classic 2s is more popular then every bracket due a few reasons.

  1. Losing gives conquest (75) so a lot of people gear that way.
  2. Double dps actually works to a high level against a lot of comps
  3. Easiest to play arena with 2 people

If they really want glad in 2s they need to straight make damping start at 60% for healers only and allow heal-dps to offheal properly so you can get a huge amount of comps like ret/x, dps-shaman/x dps-druid/x and spriest-x that can actually fight healers.

2s still the most popular by far.

Maybe. I think 2’s has a loyal player base, but some comps have always been better historically and while 3’s isn’t perfect it’s a lot more balance and fluid.

Oh, I didn’t know that.

It’s just the popular format. Like I said Blitz/Shuffle have 800 free mmr so that’s the best way to unlock the rewards if you don’t feel like binding all of your abilities.

Just my two cents as an average player who got to see the game before solo queue ruined it. :dracthyr_nod:

If they bring glad to 2s I’ll livestream me and swoles first date

No one who actually does 2s at a high level thinks it’s super imbalanced

Everything works into everything generally, but warrior.
