oh yeah I always forget I can have multiple games running at the same time 
Generally don’t want to leave a good hearthstone game though when queue finally does pop
nah, solo queue life for me unless I know the people irl 
I do have a few irl wow friends still, but they only pve / mostly hate pvp
people are slowly realizing every season the dmg SS caused this game

nah, all things considered, if it wasn’t for solo shuffle and now blitz, I’d probably mainly do m+ sprinkled with some chill 2s or pug raid, or maybe even main classic again. I still wouldn’t be doing 3s if that’s what you were implying.
I’d queue more 2s and also do 3s if there was a queue button. I’m an old timer, and I’m just over using the crap lfg tool and/or hopping in discord with random people and/or scheduling times to play games, etc.

I think Blizzard is also doing some damage with these horrendous gladiator mounts for 3 seasons in a row on top of rewards sometimes being very bad such as enchants, or some tier sets for example hunters or druids next season elite sets which druids next season elite set is literally the season 1 elite set colors put on some other version of the Tauren heritage armor. Why would I queue up some 3’s when the glad mount isn’t worth spending my time farming for let alone would it attract new players or pvers to also join that grind.
I honestly never touch 3’s unless the mount is worth the grind so shuffles for fun is a great alternative though seeing as long queue times allows for me to just work on schoolwork or do some 2’s. Also saw a warrior with 4500 2’s games idk how he does it.

i constantly read “but if the mount was just better looking” all that matters is if the game is fun or not and if Queue times are short are not, not what the mounts look like.

I mean queue times are short if you play 3’s and 2’s but most aren’t going to do that unless the mount is good looking seeing as the only reason to play 3’s is the mount or play with friends why do 3’s when you can get all the rewards easier in shuffles or blitz especially blitz so yea. Also, most people find fotm rerolling to the most op class fun so theres yk that.
Yet most people still play shuffle and it’s still very popular
it’s not 2010 buhdee

Plenty of players in queue, but they did not pick the healing role.
You are waiting for someone that will.
because they are forced to at this point the cancer has already hit stage 4 and we are just left to rot
the game wont last when every one has 45m-2hour ques

No, not really. I can create an LFG group right now in 3’s, or 2’s even and get instant queues. People just prefer shuffle.

now ill agree SS might be better due to the random comps fighting demo frost mage for 5 hours in a row is just as bad if not worse than 2 hour SS ques

I think you just hate shuffle man. And no amount of you hating shuffle will bring people back to 3s.
We need to find ways to make shuffle queue times better not delete it and go back to game modes people don’t want to play.

lfg is literally the same thing, people don’t want to heal in either mode
if people liked healing and were willing to heal generic melee cleave/hunter #12343232 in lfg then we would of never needed shuffle in the first place
(but… but… I have access to healers and I got priority to play the game and that’s all that mattered! who cares if everyone else quits, I’ll just insult you instead)

im not even saying remove it cats out of the bag the big red button has been pressed but we need some kind of overhaul while we still have some player base left
i dont really hate SS as a standalone but i hate what it has caused both my druids i play are 2600mmr in SS rn but if a que hits 45min i just log off as i imagine most other people do as well
Exactly , this lesson can be transferred to life outside of wow and create growth as an individual
Just letting things go, simple
Clearly something is wrong with healing in arena. People are willing to heal in other modes of the game but not arena. Shuffle is fun, 3’s (with participation/variety) can be fun, the problem is always healers.
The skill floor is rock bottom for a bunch of classes that are extremely popular. The skill floor for healers will always be moderate because they have to manage 3 friendly targets AND 3 enemy targets while the bm/war zugs 1 person. How do you fix that? I have no idea.
If they DID make it that easy to heal then people would complain nobody dies/game is boring. And what does that do? It forces the moderately skilled healers to heal the bad dps or they will never get games. And creates a vacuum at the top of the ladder because those moderately skilled healers either never progress or quit and just play dps instead.

I’m always floored by people who can’t think of a thing to do in game while waiting for Q to pop. It’s probably the most content packed game ever made.
