That was season 1. A few months before. Season was really good imo. Except ret was outta control haha. Then dies instantly a few seasons later.
Dark times. Just blast the season then end it.
Isnāt it possible that itās both? They donāt give a crap about pvp so they hire the moron devs that canāt even make a pot of coffee so they can pay them less and save money overall.
If they cared they would hire devs who had passion. Iām just happy Blizzard is a gaming company. Imagine how screwed everyone would be if they ran something that mattered like the power grid or roads.
No, because they have put more attention into PvP this expansion than arguably ever before.
The quantity of PvP changes they do is very large. Bi weekly tuning, 2 new twist on arena and bgs in order to prop up accessibility for ranked played, constantly nerfs to make sure PvE gear doesnt creep into PvP, cc changes across the board, changes to PvP gear acquisition and crafting gear, changes and reworks to many PvP talentsā¦
If they didnt care, they wouldnt do anything this. None of this is stuff they whipped up in an afternoon by one intern. In past expansions we would go 8+ months before any tuning let alone content. Now we get them every other week and content every patch. This isnt my opinion this is just a veritable fact.
The devs are insanely passionate about WoW, they are just bad at it.
i think the only solution to fix MMR is to spam Bill Gates twitter account so he will help us

I have 4 different healers and they all sit in LFG system for 2 hours with nobody signing up. Bracket is completely dead above 1800. There is no incentive for me to push RSS as healer when I can reroll a broken DPS spec and get higher rating
Dang, I didnāt realize it was this bad even for healers.
Iāve so far not even tried to make any gold doing 2s, and have only done 2s to accelerate capping vault, so have relatively quickly found partners for āchill, capping vaultā games, but yeah that sucks if you canāt find anyone at all to push rating with past 1800.
Agree also on the RSS as healer incentive. Iām a pretty horrible dps overall (frost mage being my best dps spec atm), but Iām still around the same rating as my healer main.
2s needs its own unique rewards, at least between the 1600-2100 range. Beyond that idk because by the time you get that high, it usually feels like only certain specs (e.g., rdruid, disc, hunter, rogue, etc.) can push.

Blizz HQ is closed until after the new year

I 100% believe this!!! and to add I think they are working on the expansion cash cow after the next already. They dont care, this expansion is over, they got their money from the suckers (players).
The inflating they do comes in thr form of each player gaining 10 mmr per week. This is far too slow and doesnt encourage people to play sooner. Everyone has been waiting til the final weeks to push when inflation is at its highest for multiple seasons now.
Another problem is people wait for catchup mechanics ,like conquest cap removal ,and alt conquest boxes before they play. Since no one really wants to play while some have 4 set and many dont, creating imbalances they rather not deal with.

At last check itās actually double that.

It is annoying in that it kind of compounds; itās hard to push so nobody plays which makes it further harder to push.
Youāre right. Its whipped up by some alcoholic groper fatbody white boy.
Looks like we have to agree to disagree o this one, sweetheart.
Getting sick of this radio silence Blizzard, please communicate with us and please do your job and fix the game.
Hour long queues for DPS lol. This game literally falling apart right now and nothing from Blizz

pvp left to rot again for YEARS
FIXED IT
the longer we wait, the more subscription fees they earn.
And if we just pull the MMR cap and use decay above 2400 blizzard can just let the system autopilot with no need to monitor inflation rates. We could go back to having shorter legion length seasons since it will be easier to reach goals. It would prevent sitting and waiting for the last 3 weeks of a season to even play, and the ease of access will 100% pull a larger casual base which is absolutely critical for the health of the ladder
Edit: also include a ground mount or reskin for 2v2 because my wife says Iām only allowed to have 1 internet friend
They do NOT care, because they are working on future expansion or SoD. This expansion is done, already abandoned.
A lot of these problems will directly translate to Rated Solo Queue Battlegrounds, they would do well to try fixing the issues now and find out what works, so they can have Solo BGs in a good state for The War Within.
