Looks like it will probably only be for rated sadly. But hopefully it’s game wide.

the words say “miss a que” but nothing about dropping them.

Here is my take

Doesn’t solve much. Needs to be more severe. 5 mins / drop cumulative. Only resets every 24 hours AND is account wide.

If it affects all BGs, premades already wait between 1 - 5 mins based on if the sync doesn’t happen.

Pop? Not everyone? Drop.
Pop? Not everyone? Drop
Pop? Not everyone? Drop

After 3 attempts they may wait 5 mins and try again. So a 5 min penalty will be nothing.

Then there’s the premades who quit during the game when it doesn’t go their way. What about those early leavers. account wide deserter too.

They need to make it for leaving queue as well and they need to add limits on the number of healers allowed 10 healers in an epic is just wrong. 2 or 3 at least come on blizzard.

100% agree on too many healers! Hard limits.

After being spam reported on the forums and my account silence of 7 days to be over, I have nothing to say. I don’t know how many times I made this a in-game suggestion or made threads about this that we can view on the forums. Now the change is happening and people are still reporting my threads for trolling or being too offensive.

if you dont log out or change characters to post with you can still use the forums while account is silenced.

Yea :wink: I think this isn’t my first time being silenced and I was surprised it worked still last time, but it was too soon this time (I closed the window). Thank you for the tip/reminder

“Missing a queue will place a debuff on your account that prevents you from immediately joining another one. The first penalty will start at one minute, scaling each time you miss another queue.”

Sounds good for blitz.

Honestly I have to laugh at anyone thinking it’s great for unrated. lol

It’s good so it’s harder to q 40 man premades

Let’s say this will work even for groups dropping for epic BGs:

Explain how it will help during times of day when one faction has premades queuing and the other faction doesn’t?

If anything this tells us that the premades and queue manipulation is on their radar

Good start

For unrated, you can still enter, see you’re against a premade vs pug, log off in the BG and hop on another alt :ok_hand:

Queue times are too long with such a short accept window, bad change unless they extend the window to accept a queue.
