With MMR carrying over, I would have thought 2s, 3’s and RSS ratings would be much higher right now. Seems like there was maybe a huge drop off in participation?

ye its pretty dead in all 3 brackets once u get to the top end. much more than usual but i always expect this with s2. actually the game feels pretty good now and lots of stuff is balanced but wow players are lame and like sitting for free rewards at the end.

Well they’re certainly not putting much effort into attracting new players, that’s for sure. I see no reason why PvP participation would go up when the rewards and systems get junkier every season.

it was popping off the first two weeks hit elite super fast now im getting 45-50 min queues at 2200 MMR 
Looks like they’ve got some sort of “seasonal awards refresh” on the calendar for season 3, but of course theres been absolutely no details shared about it to give any hype or even a slight hint of what its referring to.
Nerfing healers and burst meta is cancer. I don’t blame people for not playing.

Precipitation this season is like dozer (below average) but it’ll pick up soon I think
True, but this has been a problem blizzard has ignored forever. I don’t blame the players as they’re just going to automatically follow the path of least resistance. It’s blizzard job to snuff out major issues like this. They could do a bunch of things to incentivize queueing up…they just don’t. Similar to how they could do a bunch of things to update the reward system…but they just don’t. With the amount of time/effort they put into pvp, they really don’t deserve my money.
I am definitely not holding my breath for any sort of ground breaking PvP reward changes lol.
My que times as Affliction are pretty much always the same. Around 15 minutes.
idk about other game modes but SS seems pretty dead
This could end up just meaning new rewards for the new patch/season which we always get, like 1800 elite sets.
Participation is down due to a slow decay of dereliction earned by the arrogant and ungrateful nature of most PvPers.
The game doesn’t revolve around your mode of play it, revolves around everything else.
We are simply better.

how u no buddy u eu
It’s always going to be like this from now on, as long as all 3 rated pvp modes reward the same things (outside of gladiator) People are just going to latch onto the one that gives it the quickest and then stop playing.
Despite all the “give us free mmr and we’ll play the game” cries for the longest time, turns out the majority of pvp players stop playing once they get their mid rating rewards (1.8/2.1/2.4).

Mmr doesnt fully carry over, your still dropped down from 2200+ to 2200+whatever weekly mmr increase is accumilating behind the scenes.
As to be expected. First season has the highest participation and then it begins to fall off as the xpac goes on.
What a horrible take.
