Remove Blitz

[Christtel-stormrage]

Yes knowledge is needed. I know I cant stay solo guarding s node as ret against rogue. I know, because I dont run trinket that I would have to bubble sap to the get blinded or human trinket the kidney.

I know that if a spriest is near a flag because I dont have trinket I cant get near or ill get feared and lose the base

I know that I am one of the worst orb carriers in temple so i better help with killing other orb carriers

That’s interesting considering my average queue time for blitz is 3 min and SS is 15-20 min

[Exofury-barthilas]

So just like original battlegrounds… the first version of WoW instanced PvP… not arena…

Yes because people that can’t climb past 1300 in 3s should totally receive R1 rewards because a bracket is so disgustingly rng that it artificially propped them up 1000 cr higher than they deserve.

There’s R1 in all forms of rated PVP, excluding 2s (which should probably have one), and all of them are considered respectable/meh per season, bracket, spec, etc. I could understand being upset that you’re an R1 3s player if all content gave them same R1 so there was no way to tell a difference minus a web browser, but who cares if people are getting BG R1’s that everyone more or less considers a joke?

I could even understand if it were like RSS in DF and people were getting 2400 and coming here with attitudes, but I’ve yet to notice a single Blitz player being egotistical. lol So what’s the actual problem?

Yeah, I’ve seen that listed before too. I’m thinking that’s not accurate. Blitz is way too fast/everyone I know is playing it (on multiple toons) to only have 3,000 games every 72 hours played.

[Zaden-tanaris]

What really happened is at the start of the season, people were full sending blitz 15 hours a day, creating a ton of early inflation.
That’s really why you’re seeing 3k already in the bracket, literally same thing happened with shuffle DF S1. People playing it 15 hours a day non stop for months, almost the the entirety of the season.

A lot of players can’t comprehend there is no mmr cap etc, wows rating system is always based on participation that’s why the smart players push glad in the last 2/3 weeks when it’s at peak inflation.

[Kinsington-stormrage]

i agree, lets remove pvp content. I think the game has too much of it.

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

I never look at the bg forums, but are there the same threads there where people talk about how its killed shuffle and is the new future?

[Hirav-khazgoroth]

Nah, those ones posit that “Shuffle is a meme and it should be removed” threads at the start of DF.

This thread is the “Blitz is a meme and it should be removed” thread, at the start of TWW.

Characters change, complaints do not.

Edit:

Oh, sorry misread your post.

Not really, there are ones that say that Randoms are dead, and that RBGs are dead.

But the BG forum doesn’t seem to take Arena too seriously at the best of times.

[Lilbeadie-area-52]

Blitz and Shuffle would be amazing and attract more players to PvP IF, IF Blizzard would enforce their own rules and stop the ratings sellers from flooding PvP. By doing so it runs off the player base.

[Chichì-kelthuzad]

Youre comparing shuffle rounds to whole blitz games lmao at least do the proper math

[Kirenaika-daggerspine]

I’m comparing shuffle lobbies, not games, to blitz matches

[Biggahhchud-moon-guard]

Blitz is really fun. Seethe more OP

2800 in Blitz while being 1300 48% WR in 3s, complete joke.

Er. Seems a tad unfair to frame it like this. They have 2400+ xp in arena and they likely used 2s to cap or maybe they were just playing with friends. 2s rating doesn’t matter to most people.

Yes, it’s a bit of a meme, but the majority of players I’m seeing up top are still good players. I do think the RNG of what you get to play with needs to be addressed.

8224 3v3 Games Played in the last 72 Hours

8224 x 6 = 49,344

3084 x 16 = 49,344

Interesting.

Brother, he’s talking about the dude’s 3s rating.

Saurov - Destromath, 16-17 in 3s, 1364 cr.

My mistake. Read 2s on my phone. Still same thoughts though.

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

Blitz is fun and it’s basically all I play lately but I do think it’s a bit of a clown fiesta. There are probably a lot players that are currently high rated who couldn’t get back there on a fresh alt of the same spec. Not to hate on anyone either, it’s just an honest assessment of what’s possible in the game mode and how much an impact 1 player can have a lot of the time. Still it’s a fun mode and if some people get rewards from it that are a little undeserved I don’t really care. It probably just incentivizes more people to play in the end and that’s a good thing.

@Kirenaika-daggerspine

even if you scale the numbers to accomodate for the differences in team sizes

i think it overtakes it a bit if you scale the numbers, no? or at least they are pretty close

[Discurzed-barthilas]

Correct, warrior players are cringe.
