I know what solo shuffle is, the bigger problem i’m seeing is too many stupid noobs playing and bottle necking progress for players who have better awareness… the result is that players with higher skill levels are forced to lose rating at the expense of these noobs. As a reference, i’ve been to 3300 solo shuffle last season and am a S1 glad, so i have some experience when talking about wow pvp.
Either way, the current state in my view is completely broken. The system needs to be changed – one possible solution – if a dumb noob doesn’t press cooldowns and dies, his rating should suffer the full brunt while others should have a lower dent to their rating as a result . This would probably be difficult to execute, but at least it starts a conversation that lets people with better skill not get bottlenecked by people who are just oblivious.
Here’s a case in point: I can’t play someones class for them and telepathically signal to them that if you want to get healed, you shouldn’t run from me to the other side of the map, line everyone and everything, and die somewhere where you cant be reached. Why should my rating get tanked because of idiots like these? Is it fair to me and the other team mate?
