It depends on how many rounds they win. If you don’t win any, I think it’s 100 honor, if you win them all, it’s like 1150 honor.
In my opinion, if they are extremely undergeared, it’s better if they stay in stealth or stay away from everyone. They tend to die in .5 seconds.
Now can you imagine if there was a ranked solo shuffle and players afkd in it ? 
brrrrr
Just wanted to say there’s no way you got 40k honor in a single day. Good post besides that tho
I think 40k honor in a day is probably doable (or at least would’ve been doable early on) as a healer if you no-life it, because of the 25% honor bonus and instant queues. For a mage the queue times would probably be too long. Maybe he didn’t mean he fully upgraded the gear.
its doable, you just have to have no life like myself and decide to q solo shuffle for about 12 hours straight cause your sick as a dog. I won average of 4 rounds early on but by the end i was getting a lot of 5-6 round wins and finished out the gear. Also keep in mind i didnt start from no gear, i started from about unranked conquest gear from late last season. So i had versatility and didnt just get one shot like many new players are right now.
Either way.
2 major changes and solo q can be tuned up to be a lot better.
solo shuffle is actually a great game type and is still in its early stages and it doesnt really need too much to become a lot better.
It’s also because of boosting.
People buy a boost from a website for USD$
The company pilots the account with VPN
The company dual queues the customer and a healer
The healer only heals the rounds with the customer
The healer afks or throws the rounds against the customer
