Removing Deepwind Gorge and Keeping Seething Shore

PVP Battlegrounds

Its fun in randoms, what makes it such a problem in rated ?

22

The issue with it in rated bgs is that it has a huge impact in the higher up brackets. Once you have 2 teams with good communication and proper rotations, the game will go on for quite some time. At the beginning of this season, we played another 2200 team, and the game lasted for 52 minutes, before the other team afked out just so they could reque. In the lower end of the bracket, this type of gameplay is rare, so games do not get impacted this way.

Having some type of timer or even a dampening effect near each node would make it better and help reduce the length of these matches.

In short, the games last too long and your better off losing 20 points and requeing to get them back than waste your entire night.

They’re slow to admit their mistakes. They’ll keep the fantasy alive by slowly making tweaks here and there thinking they are listening. As bad as the map is, it would be embarrassing to have a much touted new feature get pulled so quickly.

This map doesn’t even feel like a RBG. Has extremely limited strategy unlike other maps. On most maps I can beat better teams by thinking of a good strategy on AB, eots, etc. This feels like a map made for arena players where the objective doesn’t really work.

Seething Shore is awful in rated. Please remove it. Deepwind is a mix of Gilneas and WSG/TP. If you remove Deepwind, might as well remove Gilneas too

So because none of the games lasted 45 minutes for you, do you think the rest of the bracket is lying or exaggerating? I can think of 5 unique instances of a Seething Shore match lasting between 40 and 45 minutes for me and my team. I’m pretty sure those experiences aren’t “false” either, and unfortunately, it is a common experience among rbg participants. Please don’t give these devs a reason to ignore months and months of feedback regarding how broken this particular map is.

Hey wolf… Nvm that would be toxic

Blizzard needs to address the reason on why they’re removing Deepwind Gorge from the RBG rotation and not just randomly make the decision to do so, its fair to the last few people that play this game competitively. Also will a DEV even see a post? we need a response…i highly doubt they check these post .

Noted, but you shouldn’t need to rely on a class to make up for the map being RNG. A lot of time I play on teams without a priest or a mage to slowfall.

Seething shore is straight butt cheeks, worst map to ever come into creation in any game, every time I queue and get seething shore I immediately get the desire to afk and go outside to commit crime so I don’t have the displeasure of being miserable for 25 minutes straight.

Deepwind gorge on the other hand, there is no logical reason whatsoever to remove it. It’s a fun map all around and in the current meta, both teams always are given ample chances to come back from a deficit (almost no rng) and it’s great to get a map in which the better team usually wins. There’s no reason to remove it from the rated bracket.

Seething shore on the other hand just doesn’t work well in rbgs, maybe keep it for randoms sure but please consider keeping deepwind gorge and removing the atrocity that is seething shore.

Seething shore is the best! Long live seething shore!!

Have you even played a rated battleground? I mean just cuz u like big smashies in random bg vs alliance in seething do not mean it r good 4 da rated u no?

Seething Shore far worse than Deepwind Gorge. I am not entirely sure where this idea to remove it came from. Deepwind is far more consistent and has a large variety of options for teams to plan around. The map as a whole is far more competitive and strategic than Seething. I do enjoy Seething shore but not at high rating. I had a game last a little under an hour playing it. Most games in deepwind never come close to that amount of time because there are so many strategic options. This game has really gone down hill since Vanilla. I do not think anyone can say it has not, but it boggles my mind that the developers and PVP content creators seem like they are actively trying to have more players leave.

Wait. Are you notae? The sanc botting ret paladin?

First let me start off by saying OP has a blind dog.

Now that, that has been said. I agree. DWG removal not such a good idea. Keeping seething literally shows that the pvp devs have no clue what is going on in the pvp community.

Lastly, Greov go back to under the rock you came here from.
