2s is easiest to access and having no rewards for it is really damaging, gotta stop forcing players into what they dont wanna play.

We’ve already been through this song and dance before when they decided to remove titles from 2s and 5s haha, they won’t change it, they didn’t back in the day and they won’t now, just history repeating itself at this point.
Incorrect…there are rewards for 2s…you still get points and rating. Titles are removed which is a great change.
only glad title removed which affects 0.5% of the whole arena ladder?
Yeah, and I think 2200 rewards are removed as well. It’s a change to push people into 3’s but I think a lot of 2’s players will instead migrate to RBG’s to get their 2200 gear.
Dying game just went to dead. This was all done to suit the wintraders and RTM players. 2s was protection against the cheaters, but they got there way.

afaik only glad was removed, can still very much go duelist.
2v2 is so bad in cata that its very existence could kill the game. Blizzard should honestly ban/remove 2v2 entirely for the health of the game.

Actually 2’s for a small group of comps was very easy way to cheese yourself to glad…
A extremely easy example is rogue hunter
The change is good
Makes you play the game for real without the cheese that comps have in 2’s

We all know people are just going to use 3rd party software and get boosts again for titles anyways.
They had to do this. 2v2 is cata is beyond toxic. Everyone PvPer would quit cata if 3v3 wasnt so good. 2v2 is probably the worst it ever was or ever will be. Avoid it like the plague.

Why?
I’m genuinely curious why 2v2 is bad? I’ve always liked 2v2 (granted, it has been a while since I have done arena)
Now, I do remember 5v5 being absolutely hectic.

for real man, a community thats already bleeding shouldnt have aspects of gameplay diminished or removed
doesnt make any sense
if anything they should give more rewards and more reasons to play
not forcing 3s by removing other brackets
The glad title going to 3s only is ok imo to have the focus on 3s because its actually so good & balanced, but the 2200 wep & the elite set being 3s/rbgs only is pretty rough. Theres no incentive to que 2s outside of lower titles and fun.
The people talking bad about Cata 2s are just regurgitating things they heard imo. I played every bracket all Cata long it felt just as fine(bad) as wotlk 2s. The healer comp vs healer comp is maybe worse/too long, but double dps can kill it so just dont go in there playing afflic rsham etc & itll be fine.
Some people prefer 2s, their class excells at 2s, or the wall of having getting a 3rd player being a problem so removing all rewards from it is pretty lame. Challenger-Duelist titles being available but 2200 wep/elite set not makes the bracket pretty worthless imo.
Glad being 3s only will hopefully increase participation, but I don’t think it will equal the loss of 2s players that just do RBGs now 
they removed the elite set too?
i thought it was only gladiator and gladiator rewards(aka mount)
I think so but I’m not 100% sure because Blizzard is incapable of properly communicating anything.
Guys relax. You can attain all 2200+ T2 gear and weapons from Rated BGs. You dont even have to step into Arena.

Yeah, RBG hero is a derogatory term for a reason. It’s even less skillful than a 5s title. Real high level pvpers will get theirs from 3s the rest are a joke. 2s being the closest to 3s in terms of individual skill.
If the item’s description is accurate you can only obtain the elite set from 3v3 and RBGs
