Everything I am reading says no - doesn’t seem too fun. I main a holy paladin at the moment and the thought of using LFG for melee cleaves isn’t too enticing but please let me know what you think

Not if you’re Alliance due to the clear Horde bias
you’ll typically read more bad than good because it’s typically people that aren’t having fun that’re posting about how much fun they aren’t having
this seasons really fun despite ret/moonkin/intervene/hpals trying their hardest to make it not fun

I don’t know, get it and then ask the question. =p
Anyone who says it doesn’t is lying or they simply doesn’t care about arena so their opinion doesn’t matter anyways. I don’t like how glad is compared to what it is, but at the same time I’m still happy I got 2400 in mop and wod. This is the first expansion since wod that I have wanted to PvP and 2400 is definitely a goal again.
In the end, if you get glad, more people then not will either dismiss it, say you paid for it, you got carried, or that you’re a try hard. I have had more people tell me I’m garbage after linking achieves then people congratulate me for my efforts. So if it means something to you, that’s all that really matters.
personally I’m probably just gonna quit soon tbh, idk unless they start changing things because it’s just really low quality games low rating high rating r1 rating, doesnt matter it’s all pretty messed up rn and overall just frustrating to q. Like I win games and I’m still pissed lol, anyway i have a few glad friends and they dont care also might quit soon so idk up to u though whatever u feel

yes if u play anything meta
This 100%. I haven’t PvP’d much before but I don’t remember MMR being this bad. I’ve done so many RBG’s. I’m talking a 60% win rate but hard stuck at 1550. I’ve been running with the same group of people yet all of these people have pushed 1600 and some are already at 1700. When I started, I did have a higher CR, but now, for some godforsaken reason, the system still acts like I’m the highest CR. I just won a game and got +6 rating while everyone else was getting nearly 100.
To top all of this off, we have had to intentionally lose games specifically because of this HORRIBLE mmr. Win 3 games and suddenly your guilds alt rbg run with 197 gear gets placed against a team with 1800-2000 rating. Are you actually being serious right now with this, Blizzard? A 197 team versus 215+. Skill means nothing at that point when this game of sitting on CD’s means you’’ just be brute forced down at some point in time.
This was the xpac I REALLY wanted to get in on. But when a bunch of people that have already pushed 2.1k this season play with you and scratch their heads at why you’re being hard stuck by the system (losing 20 points, gaining 5. My wins mean NOTHING) then why play?
Right now, my best bet is to just make a fresh Paladin and try over again. This time refusing to play with players and being a total stuck up in my approach. To the people asking why everyone wants high experience, there’s your answer. This is their design.

They will, but who cares. If you’re getting carried to gladiator in arena’s you still have to know what you’re doing. I highly doubt there is anyone out there, maybe with the very minor exception of absolute gods like Cdew that can carry someone that high up unless they themselves are 2100+ material.
So if they say that, just ignore em. They clearly don’t know how this system works.
I join arenas to find out how fast I can die. If I don’t die in 1 global then I’ve won
what about fire mages? theyre no fun at all to play against
pretty much this. Right nerfs in the right areas for these classes would be delightful.
ya sorry forgot to add triune ward gaming
didn’t mean to skip over it
You play holy paladin. You’re not ever going to get a better chance than now to get glad. Before Blizz changes things and hpal isn’t top dog anymore
Alliance: Best pvp racials in the game.
Also Alliance: Gets stomped in PVP
Also Also Alliance: muh horde bias
Did you just leave out RMX? I never thought I’d see the day when you don’t throw rmx out as monkey brain, ruining the season.
Damn I scrolled down, nvm.

I mean, I just made a couple “high xp” low cr groups with no voice and hit 1700 on my 200 ilvl alt war in just over a week…
To understand the reason you gain a low amount of points, you have to understand how mmr works with CR. If you’re 1500 and you play at 1600mmr, you’re not going to get many points when you win because your cr is already approaching your mmr. For example, if you play with your 2100 rated friends, and they win at 1800 mmr, they will get 0-5 points per win and lose ~20 for a loss.
If you at 1500cr plays at 2100 mmr and win, you’ll get 20+ points and lose 0 for a loss. Get your mmr up and your cr will follow.
People don’t get hard stuck by the “system”. There are people that have hit 2100 in their first season, but that could be due to multiple factors. Experienced teammates, friends, class strength and above all else, personal skill.
This season like most has its own problems but I had fun Queing and knocking out glad
Some stuff just makes me wanna jab my eyes out tho.
Triune mage and vanish conduit rogue being top of my list of annoyances.
