Counterpoint: Your rebuttal pretends that Blizzard has ever done the appropriate amount of work to create fair matchups even with a healer. Which is also just false.
Itâs reductive to use absolutes in that way. They have done a larger amount of work balancing the game around 1 healer+1-2 DPSthan theyâve ever done to rein in tanks. Nobodyâs here to pretend this is a well balanced game made by people who care about their craft, but thereâs a clear reason that most tank players are only able to hit their cr pbs as an unkillable disruption spammer(that also plays with a healer):tank PVP has never been part of what little balancing has been done, and thatâs allowed that work to improve the play experience only because tank players had to convince other people to let them into the group to start ruining arena games until now.
The number of solid planets in the universe is smaller than the number of gas planets. both are functions of infinity, but one is still obviously bigger than the other
Tanks in solo shuffle RATED is fine and working as intended. Anyone that complains needs to be better.

Hello bc gladiator. I am much better than you and I disagree
Please change the âsoloistâ title, it does not sound nearly as cool or prestige as gladiator.
How does being worse than me make you right about anything. If you donât wanna play against prots, heal. Problem solved.

It seems that conquest rewards were adjusted, GREAT, but Iâm having issues.
First win of the day I got 200 (expected)
Second match I went 3/6 and got 150 (unexpected but pleasant)
Third match I went 4/6 and got three (3), yes, thats THREE, conquest points.
Fourth match I go 3/6 and get another three (3) conquest points.
Iâll go check out bug forums to see if this has already been reported.
I am in the 1300 bracket gaining rank and making no progress on season pvp mount bar is this a bug or intended ?
Only getting 3 conquest and no saddle progress is a bug with the Maldraxxus arena.

I thought the upgrade gear from solo shuffle rating was fixed. I cannot upgrade either.

Another carrot on a stick because Blizzard absolutely REFUSES to give us what we want: a solo queue (not shuffle) for rated 2v2, 3v3, 10v10.
Stop giving us crap we donât want and give us what we asked for. This shuffle mode is dumb, not what we wanted, and does not solve the issue that created cries for solo queue.

Solo shuffleâs advantage over solo queue 3v3 is that solo shuffle offers somewhat of a degree of back luck protection by forcing everyone to play with everyone.
At least with ahuffle if you end up playing with some uncooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast you get the opportunity to play against them and get those points back.

I donât understand this logic. Since it is solo queue, you could very well have six âskinless chicken breastsâ and there is no guarantee the shuffle is going to help you. It also makes the result (whether you win or lose) completely random, either way. So in the end, if you want to make sure your team is good, you have to queue manually.
With solo queue for 3v3, it would have the same weakness, exactly the same, and shuffle has no advantage over it. If you want a guarantee of a good team, you would manually queue 3v3.
The solo queue everyone asked for is so that we can take the risk of getting a bad queue at the cost of potentially lowering wait times waiting for a custom team. Not everyone has a friend list of 100 pvp players that all get on at the same time to play. Today I waited 1 hour for an RBG group and everyone quit after the 1st loss. This would be solved by having a proper solo queue.
The abomination they gave us pretends to be solo queue, but it isnât, because it doesnât let us queue for rated PVP solo, it just gives us a separate minigame with no advantage over what we were asking for, and a bracket and game mode that no one wanted.
I mean if thereâs six of them, youâre acknowledging the fact that youâre one of them and have no logical reason to complain.
If youâre the only one who isnt a BSCB, you go 6-0. If one DPS is the prison cellâs special friend, you go 4-2 as a dps. If the healer is the nuggie seeking fren, you go 3-3 as a dps.
Perfectly balanced as all things should be.
Wait a second, I was under the impression that I could log on, have no one in a party with me and enter a queue to arena with 5 random people for rating gains, loses, and the subsequent rewards.
Am I incorrect?

No. Incorrect.
Iâm not talking about âbalanceâ. Iâm talking about the fact that we still have to wait hours in queue for rated pvp. And that the monstrosity that is solo shuffle is not what we asked for.
Oh, please elaborate for me then because I was under the impression that I could queue for solo shuffle without anyone else in my party and get rating from it.
Where was I incorrect? Do I need people in my party to queue with me? Do I not get rating from it?

You can queue for SHUFFLE and get rating for SHUFFLE, but thatâs not what we are talking about.
