Rated Solo Shuffle Update

My healer shuffle experience in a nutshell.

At least I get 500 honor for my trouble.

This is the result of a high sodium diet.
Ojari-thrall leaves Rated Solo to prevent me gaining rating…

wow look at that actual screenshot of someone trying to hold your rating hostage - ty for upload share to more people please - dewkemforever brah! :+1: :sunglasses:

Please change the title to something cooler. I want to be proud of my title and have it sound cool. Soloist doesnt seem to cool.

okay, so the upgrade thing is working now… so other dumb question, are we not supposed to unlock the elite pvp mog?

I was under the impression that these were unobtainable now that the season is technically over. If you got 1.8k CR and didn’t unlock them then maybe that’s the answer.

that would make sense… i just figured they’d take it out of the collections tab for those who don’t have it if that were the case…

The 1800 appearances should be gone as they’re tied to season, but I’m not sure if they removed the 2100 ones.

So leavers are getting more of a penalty for leaving a game but for us who stay can we get rewards for the cpl rounds we complete ? DPS has 10 minute or so que and to up and have a person leave game we get like 200 honor or what ever .

Please give more for non leavers

This adjustment in penalties have not changed anything.
Getting very tired of 10min queues, going 4-5 matches and someone leaving, leaving me with 0 reward for my time.

This is not a good system. The deserter debuff needs to be increased and account wide for all Instanced PvP.

The appearances from upgrading (both the armor and the weapons) are still available, so the sets are all still attainable for all classes, they’ll just take a bit more work to get to 2100 compared to 1800

Q penalty isn’t enough.

Ding their rating.
Across all 4 rated modes.
-300 on the shuffle, -100 on the other three.

And let them go negative.

Guarantee they’ll stop leaving.

I say ding their rating across all 4 rated modes.

-300 on the shuffle.
-100 on the other three.
And let them go negative.

And if they still do it enough, start dinging their other characters too.

there is no punishment to leavers, they leave because they already know they are 0-6ing so they just save time and make all other people to waste time … can you give rating according to the won rounds already please??

and 0 rating being matched up against people 1600+

Sure.

That’s…a bit much.

Trying to get som rated solo shuffles in as a dps. Wait 10 minutes in queue win 5 rounds to have someone leave. I get nothing and wasted 20 minutes or so. Requeue same thing… requeue again guess what i quit solo shuffle people just leave still. Harsh account wide punishments for these leavers or it will fail

probably no punishment is gonna be enough, probably praise the non-leavers is the solution, just give the non-leavers rating equivalent to the amount of rounds won?

The issue blizz are trying to solve there is that lets say 3 rounds were played and theres an obvious weak player in the group.

If player x played 2 or even 3 of the first 3 games with that player, they are disadvantaged since they didnt get to play more games against them that theyd likely have won. They then lose rating because of this having gone 1-2 or 0-3 partnered with the weak player.

Not sure there is a solution that is 100% fair given the format.

The solution is to just be extremely quick with removing people from the normal pool.

Take the Dota2 approach and just dump leavers into their own pool of players so they can only queue with other leavers, and they don’t get back into the regular pool until they win 12/18 consecutive rounds in the low priority queue.
