I think if Blizzard were to add an ability to queue arenas from anywhere and the ability to become invisible when queueing arenas so there is a limit to sniping/dodging/etc. there wouldn’t be as much of an issue - I think more accurately on cutoffs Blizzard needs to correct the values - they switched from a team system (2s, 3s, etc) to single players counting yet never adjusted the value for cut offs - therefore, 2s should have double of each value, 3s triple, etc. Although, we’re still playing a client where major bugs that completely change classes still exist (that were reported early on beta) soooo… GL with any of this.
It’s 16 mages IIRC. 9 Hunters. And yeah, you can double it and it’s still less then the amount of paladins in 2s alone.

I agree, they could literally quadruple the number of glad spots and it would still be less than a normal arena season back when glad was still percent-based in retail. Although the core of the issue is participation, they should do a fix for this season and work from there.

People seeing that titles are just unobtainable unless you completely no-life the game is also a big deterrence, I personally have friends that were duelists/on the cusp of glad in tbc or even s5 who just noped out when they saw that the titles lost 40+% of their spots when the ladder got properly updated back in April.

I’ve gotten glad all 6 seasons of classic so far, and this season was above and beyond the hardest I ever had to try. Every single game is R1 players, even under glad rating. There just aren’t enough spots to go around, especially with you have rats like Dekel doing 40 boosts during the last 2 weeks. Then you have some R1 players having 2-4 alts all getting titles.
Just isn’t enough spots to go around, and a lot of my friends just outright quit this season because it’s just too demotivating all things considered. If nobody is playing why should you keep playing?

I think for now Blizzard should literally just double the amount of title spots for S6, at least. And some ideas that I think would be huge for the health of the game going forward are:
-An offline mode to mitigate sniping/dodging
-ability to queue from the menu
-rating requirements removed from everything but the tabard and tier 2 weapon(bump t2 weapons down to 1800 )
-retail title system where alts under the same bnet taking up title spots add extra spots to the glad pool, or dynamically add spots to the pool, idk anything to make it so there are more title spots

All these changes would make a massive benefit to the arena community. Couldn’t agree more.
Someone tag them on twitter, that’s the only place they reply.
I don’t think they read that, they just post there sometimes. I actually don’t think they read anything at all other then internal memos.
