Are you saying solo shuffle should be removed?

I think arena took a huge dip in shadowlands. Dragonflight is the aftermath of the loss in the playerbase.

China dropping activision didn’t help either.

That is actually a good idea, and its doable! Blizz already has the ability and resources. Or just add AI Healer Bots to shuffle so speed up queues.

why? its where you’ve the most success lol.

I’ll hit 2.4K in 3s anyways by end of season. It’s dumb splitting the player base so much.

9

did you hit 2.4 last season in 3s?

I haven’t played 3s the past 2 seasons and haven’t bothered to push since SL season 1.

oh, okay then. good to know :slight_smile:

I would argue that solo shuffle made pvp more accessible to players, and helped participation. Because the old ratings system, same old boring maps, same old brackets, its not attracting new participation.

Game is kept alive by an aging player base of loyal 30/40 year olds lol. PvP has to be more accessible to the player base, and bring in NEW players.

yup times have changed. the people who grew up on dungeons and dragons and baldur’s gate were ecstatic when wow came out. the new generation is all about fortnite and CoD.

You realize splitting the playerbase is done by pvps mere existence, yes?

As well Arenas has had the worst ability to bring in and hold players by a long shot.

Like I s2g yall just ignored the previous expansions of people complaining about long waits in arena and how it was dead.

The amount of people that pvp but don’t pve is so unimaginably small that it doesn’t matter. The PvP community is small enough to begin with

:cry:

There’s dozens of us…

Yeah and the toxic players in 3s and 2s helped contribute to that immensely.

Solo shuffle actually brought people back in to pvp at least.

yup. most people don’t even want to voice because of the toxic community. no sane person would want to be exposed to that intentionally.

thats why shuffle is great, you only have to play a few rounds with those players.

I don’t know, people tend to be a bit less aggro when you get them in voice. :dracthyr_a1: As opposed to content like keys/shuffle where everybody is just on edge and suffer no repercussions for anything.
