If solo que stays the way it currently is with just a rating slapped ontop of it then it really shouldn’t get any good rewards. It’s too easy to just fail upwards with it atm.
And toxic. Using voice with LFG is already bad enough as is.
It’d def help but man the majority of rbgers just don’t deserve anything good at this point.
chat toxicity will raise immensely when rating is on the line
the success of this mode will depend entirely on the rewards, largely what is the reward for losing most of the rounds - otherwise people not getting a solid return for their time will just stop doing it
right now with the weeklies there is a incredibly high motivation for anyone that needs honor to join shuffle regardless of gear, they get it regardless of losing and they get it all within 3-4 matches - but this only goes as far as honor gear or some honor rewards and there is almost zero reason to participate after those weeklies are done unless you are geared to get a good return on your time
the amount of conquest/honor you get for winning 1-2 rounds will have an absolutely massive effect on participation - whether it takes way way more time in shuffle to get your conquest cap vs finding yolos for 2s/3s
the bliz team is well aware of the potential for solo shuffle to drastically tank 2s/3s participation and they are virtually guaranteed to add some serious negative to shuffle rewards to reduce the landslide into shuffle by the bulk of casual players who can skip the major headache of finding yolos to get your cap each week
The people solo shuffle is designed for already mostly don’t que anyway. And current solo shuffle design doesn’t address any of the issues people have with LFG and finding partners for pvp.
Hello again!
I’m just bringing this topic back up as it seems the solo queue option has been added to the Alpha, so it may be time to again bring this question back onto everyone’s minds.
Rewards for solo shuffle should be given to the top 3% of each class. Maybe a “cutthroat gladiator {name}” for rogues or “emo gladiator {name}” for warlocks
Joking aside it would be cool to see the best titles awarded to the top x% of each class.
Glad mounts and hero titles at 1k cr would be nice.
Hi again again!
Once again just wanted to keep this in mind as a question that, hopefully, will receive an answer soon!
