Can we have ranked matches that start as fast as skirmishes do, like in under 2 minutes or so?
it’s so simple, for solo queue, add a checkbox for a 2v2 Solo Shuffle mode with no healers. Just run three rounds:
Round 1: Player 1 + Player 2 vs. Player 3 + Player 4
Round 2: Player 1 + Player 3 vs. Player 2 + Player 4
Round 3: Player 1 + Player 4 vs. Player 2 + Player 3
Done, no more 40+ minute waits!
to clarify:
The solo 2v2 and solo 3v3 rating should be independent while being the same queue (with check box on/off, ON queues in both 2v2 and 3v3, and OFF queues only for the 3v3 version of solo shuffle)
For Blitz, put one healer on each team and add more health pickups (those green leaves that restore health and mana) on the maps for healing after fights. Please fix the long queue times!
I think this is very much a, “you think you do, but you dont” and people would just mald even harder than they already do because the game isn’t balanced around not having healers.
doesn’t hurt to try, the solo 2v2 and solo 3v3 rating could be independent while being the same queue (with check box on/off, ON queues in both 2v2 and 3v3, and OFF queues only for the 3v3 version of solo shuffle)
I assure you Q’ing without a healer in a 3v3 death match is the last thing you’d ever want.
All that happens is every players runs in and randomly presses every button they have
Every defensive, every offensive, every random piss CC.
You trinket the milli second you can’t move your character only to sit 3 more piss CC’s and die randomly to unhealable damage in 20 seconds before you can even do anything meaningful.
Specs like ret and rogue and mage will easily dominate every other spec because of how long they can just live and keep partners alive.
What would end up happening is 4 out of 5 Q pops would be with triple DPS, 20 second deathmatches that are zero skill and no fun at all and you’d want to kill yourself every time afterwards praying you get good RNG and a Q pop with a healer.
Or, we could…you know. Keep it the way we have it.
yeah that’s why no one is saying that, it would be a 2v2 just like skirmishes work currently, no triple DPS ever just the same of what we already have but shuffled, instead of just one match as skirmishes 3 matches you know because 4 people so everyone has to play with everyone
so aside from letting people instantly play it would make evident and clear for the devs the imbalances of the game making the game easier to tune, is a win win for everyone, good point
I don’t think that would motivate more healers to queue, I don’t even know what those are, but sure that and gold, why not, anything to motivate healers
Nah I’ve found the fix. Play healer yourself. I’m currently queuing as rshaman.
Also, playing healer doesn’t mean you can’t play dps. You’re literally able to do both, especially right now. At the beginning of the season they need to make gearing different so it’s easier to play an alt spec without having to create a second toon.
