New 9.2 brawl is a solo queue testing zone

If you que skirmishes and gets 3s there must be a healer. You cant get a 3 dps composition so I assume this would be the same in the brawl

So what happens when healers don’t queue solo because there is no incentive for them to

Not sure what you mean? If healers don’t que then matchs don’t start?
I assume the incentives would be the same as normal rated 3s?

Okay again. Why would a healer queue solo queue? There is no incentive because healers can go into lfg and get the comp they want. Play with what they are comfortable playing with.
Until they go further into this and give us more info, there is no single reason for a healer to queue solo.
So, do matches stall and wait? Time out? If it’s looking for a healer I don’t think it works at all.
Does solo queue get a different cr?

I will probably only ever q Solo Q if given the chance, and I basically only play healers.

Honestly baffles me how anyone could think that the downfalls of Solo Q aren’t the same exact things you already have to experience in LFG.

The thing is cr doesn’t matter for solo queue. You need different rewards to incentivize playing there, but what would you even give. The only thing that’s, and I say this with the taste of bile in my mouth, worth anything is the glad mount. You can’t just give it to people in soloq, or then the healer problem arises.

There’s nothing they can do to make soloq worth anything for a healer without making 3s disinteresting.

I would assume it has a different cr but there’s like no info so everything is speculative. I’m a healer main and I sit in LFG for a long time homie, If I could que rated solo I would.

That’s what I’m wondering. Why would a healer play the lottery instead of taking something comfortable and have a better chance to climb.
They would need to Target healers in general and give them a huge incentive to queue solo.
If not and it can pair triple dps then rogues/ferals/rets become even bigger kings

Sure, but again this boils down to soloq being the bandaid that fixes PVP participation. So if it really is, people will come back to the game = LFG is more popping = More people to soloq = More people for healers to play with in real 3s and acquire real rewards and games.

You’d only soloq until you didn’t need to. Obviously that’s just a blanket statement, but yeah.

And triple DPS is NOT FUN. Let me tell everyone that right now as someone who thoroughly enjoy triple DPS in real 3s. It is the most grueling, painful garbage possible. It only gets worse when you get a tank spec on your team that isn’t even viable. Looking at all you tank dhs.

Are you opening your eyes? Never sat In queue as a healer. That wasn’t suppose to be mean but I just don’t see it.

Okay I lied. Sat in queue for 30secs and I think that was the longest ever for me

Even on a 200 il hpal just trying to cap I didn’t sit long queues. Was super easy to find teams lol.

Also this is how I imagine every soloq activist being:

In que for Skirmishes or in LFG?

In general I think Solo que should have Combatant to Gladiator. If anything getting Gladiator in solo que is probably more impressive than the way it is now. If you get Gladiator solo queing that would completely remove the whole “you qued this comp during this season” mentality. Idk about r1 being available to solo que until we get our hands on it tho.

You can’t give 3s rewards to a different bracket. SOloq has to be independent for rewards from 3s. If you get glad in soloq that just discredits 3s players and makes it a whole “Why would I look for people when I could just soloq to get what I want” and eliminate not 1, but TWO brackets of rated PVP.

Yeah I guess splitting up the bracket isn’t a good idea since 3s ques aren’t rly fast :thinking:
Maybe give a different color glad mount? and r1 only being available to normal rated 3s?

edit: They have so many colors of glad mounts every expac and only use some. They could also separate the achievements for glad in solo que and normal rated 3s

Glad can’t be given to soloq. It has to be different rewards. Warmane for instance has r1 titles in 3s and gives titles like “the Supreme” for soloq rewards. That’s basically the extent you can give out or else it devalues 3s.

Besides, players like myself who really only come back to grab the glad mount every season and maybe snap up a quick r1 would just never do anything but soloq if we could get our glad mounts from soloq.

I see what your saying. I guess having rating in solo que could be like a stepping stone to achievements/proof of competency for some players to get into actual 3s but honestly I have every rated pvp achievement and I have a hard time finding players I can get glad with these days. I sit in lfg all day it’s so rough

Welll tbf a lot of your problem is your faction.
They just need to give us cross faction queuing

You would find a hard time finding people to get glad because of faction & because the players that are getting glad have their teams already and/or have glad & are sitting or quit.

And god please cross faction. I want to play with the boys but I don’t want to be an ugly orc.

Yeah I think i logged onto a fresh horde 60 priest and I noticed a lot more lfg posts a month or 2 back. not sure if it’s still like that but I rly like gnome racials man :frowning:

People will continue to play horde over alliance because of orc rele.

Moment that goes everyone floods back to ally because of Nelf, gnome, dwarf, DID, and human.
