Someone is going to make a thread about tank imbalance: “omg man I lost mmr because our fc was a prot pally and died instantly when they have a bear tank thats immortal what the heck blizzard fix your game this is so unfair”
Someone is going to make a thread about healer imbalance: "omg man i lost mmr because I had 2 rshams on my team that cant heal for crap dude and the other team has double rdruid doing 100k hps all game "
Someone is going to make a thread complaining about lack of agency: " I am doing more healing than all the healers combined and outdamaging 2 of my dps but i still lose rating because the other 7 players on my team are useless"
People going to complain about throwers: " Why am i losing mmr because my tank fc ran super far LOS of me and died when i had life cacoon how is that my fault?!"
People going to be complaining about toxicity: “The rogue on my team called our fc braindead so now hes afk and refusing to play so I lose mmr because of that what the heck”
People going to be complaining about uncoordination : " Our team agreed to do strategy A but then half of our team does strategy B and I lose mmr because of this what the hell?!"
People going to be crying about fighting high xp players at low mmr: “Why am I 100cr fighting glads and r1s?!”
If i missed any pre kicks pls let me know.
Anyways I think this new gamemode should be 6v6 and not 8v8. 8v8 is too much for a solo queue ranked gamemode with very little room for agency since only 1 person doing something wrong can force you to lose and thats much more likely with 8 players than with 6. The specs with the most agency will be the ones that can carry objectives like a rogue(taking bases and killing fcs) or a guardian druid (tankiest spec in wow) and whatever is the most OP bg healer. Specs like arms warriors wont really have a say in whether they get to win the game.
Also fully agree with this. Already if you do some yolos you’ll see a terrible team fight can still win a cgame with 1 mildly competent rogue taking bases. Going to be so toxic in solo rated.
Eh… I feel like it tanks have any place in PvP it’s going to be BG’s carrying flags or holding a base. In arena however they stick out like a sore thumb.
Rogues for sure will be OP and Mistweavers + balance Druids
This reminds me how warlocks can set up port under the bridge in bfg and use infernal or shadow fury into shadow rift to port the whole team under water. People are gonna get so mad.
I can’t wait to see the seething that happens when Blood DKs, instead of being a FC, decide to spend the match making the other team’s FC unable to move.
Solo queue rbgs are gonna be an absolute blast, I’m hyped.
