Replace RBG with Solo battlegrounds ranked

Need 410 gear. Defaults to open mic lobby and pulls all in to mic chat. Users have to prove they can hear mic prompts before loading into queu but don’t have to use their mic. Highest rank player is defaulted to captain and has a function where he can ping users to specific groups, and then ping that group to an objective.

Map pool = Arathi basin, Gilnaes, Warsong gulch, no other.

uh, no. this is a bad way to go.

young ppl these days want everything handed to them. comp/rated matches are SUPPOSED to be where you spend some effort, some organization, etc.

you have your shuffle now leave rbg alone.

Sure add this, that’s fine.

But no reason you’d have to delete normal RBGs to add this. Why not both?

The UI should be updated so that voice chat is far less necessary. Specifically, enemy location dots should be marked on the map in the same way friendly location dots are marked on the map. I want my teammates to be able to move intelligently around the BG without ever needing to read/hear a message in a language they understand.

Many high rated RBG players are constantly tracking enemy locations at a distance by clicking BGE frames to target and watching target nameplates. My suggested change is basically just simplifying what they already do.

the only map is warsong

each team has the same tank spec, the same number of healers, and the same % of ranged/melee

uhh…no. didnt work so well for shuffle why ruin rbgs?

lol nobody takes RBGs seriously.

theres like 20 people at the top who take it seriously and they just farm everybody into the dirt like nothing

solo Q would be welcomed with open arms.

no more being denied to a group because of your spec/cr/xp/blah

give players the option to just log in and play.

This. Like I remember sitting for 40 minutes for RBG in shadowlands for yolo instant losses. I was actually glad the game was dead because I didn’t think blizzard deserved to make people suffer. I havn’t even looked at RBG this expac while playing any of my healers.

@mithandir
Not so much worried about ladder integrity, just want extra fast queue times. Like, blizzard making a grind to 70 because they want to sell boosts hurts queue times. This is 2023, they are competing with games that are FREE and have over 5 times as much content output and 10 times faster queues, and with way, WAY better writing. You boomers are going to sleepwalk this game into the dirt.

Call me old but I don’t play video games to talk to people on voice chat

This is the most cringe take on solo q I’ve ever seen

Imagine being in coms with everyone to toxic to find a group in LFG

This is such a dumb post. How did we ever manage to put together 40 man raid teams for MC? But man BWL and MC were the best times even though we sat around for ever waiting for players or you’d get that one guy for MC who was like “what’s an attunement?” Lol

Now people can’t even be bothered to advocate for themselves to get on a team … I just want to press a button and you guys do all the work for me. Wake me up when we are done. All you’re doing is forcing people to play together. I would rather take my chances and build
Me own team than play with guys like this .

No thanks this is just beyond lazy

Agreed, though I don’t think we necessarily need to remove the RBG queue right away. Adding a solo queue will probably make RBG’s a ghost town, though, which would be fine in a “natural selection” sense. I’d say let it happen organically rather than remove it from the outset.

No offence but spending four times as much time queueing than playing ranked is not “an intentional feature,” to “build friendships.” Are you guys joking?

Imagine Dota 2 but you have to matchmake yourself, manually. And then the “new friend,” you just made locks in pudge mid and starts typing in peruvian. That was a short lived “friendship.”

At this point im convinced you guys are just boosters who want to sell your services. There are HUNDREDS OF FREE GAMES WITH LESS THAN 1/100th THE REVENUE OF BLIZZARD THAT CAN IMPLEMENT SOLO QUEUE.

It’s not boosters, its botters. They want to turn on their bots, and farm conquest 24/7.

You can get conquest and 424 gear (Equip Increases to 424 in pvp instances) without rating. The cap is 550 a week that’s like 2 solo shuffle wins and a random bg.

A lot of the teams that play Rbgs aren’t really queuing they take from the discord communities. Rbgs teams over 1600+ have a core team and maybe out a couple players here and there.
Discord communities are where u find rbg teams.
No need for solo Que. just a really really bad idea. Which means ion and co will be all over it

Yeah so the game is dead above 1600 unless you load up spyware VOIP amazing.

What? Lol ur confused bud

I would say make a Solo or small group Ranked Random RBG, like make it where you can either join with 3 max party for ranked. With how Toxic some of the RBGs groups these day. you cant find or take for ever to get a team together or able to join one. Solo shuffle is ok for DPS or even for a tank but atm not at all fun for healing. and with every one running a DK or DH you just die most of the time in Solo if they aren’t with you at the time.
