it’s in the title, who says no?
We don’t need another bad mode.

I don’t mind it. I’d take the insta queues with the chaos.
I’d try it, but I don’t think it would replace real arena 2s or 3s for me.
I’d rather blizzard make the existing modes better with more unique rewards for every bracket.
Also make upgraded pvp gear = max pve gear (and vice versa) to help motivate cross pve / pvp play.
Title should read “How to put the nail in the coffin for pvp”
a crazy persons rant

No thank you.
Nah wouldn’t be fun at all tbh.
i think any more modes would split the playerbase too much, i mean its kind of already getting there.
I think the only thing they could add is solo/duo q 3s directly into the rated 3s ladder, so you are essentially just playing 3s but queuing for it directly, allows skipping over LFG and potentially even finding people to play with easier than LFG, could work well and wouldn’t split the playerbase since it is just 3s, same bracket same rewards.
Also you can just duo queue arena skirmish if you want, if you play dps 99% of the time you get double dps vs double dps. Undergeared people will be there as well but you will also get some okay games. Dont think rated for this would work well.
How about reverting all of the dumb recent changes (double pain sup, healers passive dmg reduc, dps specs infinite defensive cds like hunters or bubble with forbearance, much slower dampen, etc) so 2s can be played again by double dps that isn’t rogue mage?
It can be already.
I don’t see a downside. Everyone complains about there not being enough healers, so having a mode that sucks up some dps should be seen as a net win even for people who wouldn’t play the mode. If this mode came out it would probably be all i would queue, and would bring back almost all my friends to try it out. Number one complaint while doing 2s with randoms is they are sick of fighting healers in 2v2.
It could be fun if done right
We’d need class specific balancing (unlikely) or peripherals in the mode to shake up the meta (think power ups, creative maps, unique gear/trinkets)
It would be gimmicky but would be super popular
Safest way to implement it would be as a brawl probably
Reading the forums lately has been a trip. A lot of ideas coming out… I think it’s great we’re thinking about stuff, but doing something bad, isn’t better than doing nothing.
A 2v2 DPS only bracket would be virtually unplayable for certain specs and absolutely dominated by others.
We should probably just hope blizzard finds a way to make the modes they have out already better.
I really don’t think the solution is that mysterious
They just have to tune consistently and correctly
I hopped over to league to play URF and that gimmicky minigame mode has better balancing and support than the entirety of WoW PvP. Can you imagine?
I honestly think it’s less of this and more of an issue that it would just divide the player base even more. They need to consolidate and honestly get rid of some brackets.
Ever since solo shuffle every thread is about how bad it is and whining about deflation guess it’s the first to go!
I agree. I get shuffle and bgb makes pvp more accessible, but at what cost?
