Spoken like a participation trophy enjoyer. First it’s, “The game modes are so different”.
Sure, so stop giving rewards for them, that’s my point.
But I know the +1000 cr inflation crowd (you) exist today solely because Blizzard catered to players incapable of forming friendships with people in game.
Zzz speaking to low tier players about game design always most boring thing to do
It isn’t possible for there to be total consistency between PvP modes with distinct objectives / win conditions, and consequently respective skillsets that form a non-circular Venn diagram. There’s overlap, as obviously people need to know how to damage/heal, know about DRs, etc. But the win conditions of a team deathmatch and a battleground are alien to one another.
That overlap is why top arena players are high rated in Blitz, of course, but likewise there’s a fair amount of people with reasonably high exp who struggle with Blitz’s objective-based nature. e.g. the “Wahh I’m 2400 EXP but stuck in ELO hell in Blitz, fix it!” threads we get.
It follows then that there will be people who either struggle with Arena’s demands – or simply don’t do it beyond cosmetics – who thrive in Blitz because they prefer battlegrounds’ objective-oriented nature.
None of that’s to say that Blitz isn’t obviously inflated, of course. But arguing there should be parity in people’s ratings across arenas and BGs makes no sense; that was certainly never the case between arena and RBGs, either. An arena skillset does many things, but it won’t inherently give someone objective awareness, just like objective awareness doesn’t inherently give one mastery over the win conditions of a team deathmatch.
Also, duo queue is a factor. Is that rogue doing rogue things while being carried by a good MW or Pres? Quite possible. (Kind of negates the socialization argument, too.)
I mean bg blitz has zero skill expression and rewards quantity not quality.
He is pretty reasonable imo. The biggest egos are ironically coming from bg blitz players who have been challenger 2 in arena for the last decade and never played a rated bg but hop into this new mode and are 3k cr convinced that it’s because they are an expert strategist. Super cringe
Nah it’s because you’re cowering on a level 23 classic alt and egoing like a r1, whilst bawling about boomer dads having the same pixels as you. You need to touch some grass.
It’s both funny and sad you have quotes from me seared into your brain.
Elitist gatekeeper! More people would play if PvP rewards unlocked after 5 wins. Source? Participation has declined while rewards have gone to lower thresholds so obviously you elitists just want the game to be dead
Wonder how they win so much. I tried bgb and I would be top damage, top kills, only player going to the efc, top flag returns, and would even run the flag myself as a lock cuz no one goes for it, and still lose the match
