Sad how dead arena is

I have played since vanilla and the fact at any point there is only 3 people in LFG is insane… Regardless of what time of the day it is. Blizzard plan to kill pvp is working better than I thought.

Special thanks to shuffle/blitz for killing 2v2 and 3v3 arena

Special thanks to all the toxic no-lifers. The ones who rage at everyone despite being in their 40s. The people who whisper nasty things because their entire personality is WoW pvp. There are many reasons, all of them have to do with its own community, not Blizzards fault at all. Blaming RSS and Blitz is a cope. Elitist snobs and death threat andys are why PVP is dying.

lol not saying thats not a problem but thats just the internet in general these days regardless of the game. PVE is the same way… but its 100% blizz fault for neglecting much needed changes to pvp/arena. the only cope here is you thinking otherwise.

Killing bad mode that basically gatekeeps most of people without 16 years if experience is fine by me. 2s was fine when double dps comps were not autoloss but as it stands right now let the modes die.

“Muh game is balanced around 3s” has been the biggest hurdle in the game. Let 3s die

Hmm? 3v3 seems fine. Higher mmr 2s is a rough go but I suppose that comes with the territory of being a bracket without rewards now that solo queue options exist.

Previous exp doesn’t really mean much. CR is king. :dracthyr_yay_animated:

Its 7am bruv.

Try changing that to pm.

I think there’s two problems here:

• Rewards overlapping lead to people just taking the path of least resistance outside of gladiator; need unique rewards for each bracket.

• LFG is outdated & needs to be reworked and/or replaced by dynamic q (1+1+1/2+1/3); something that foregoes the need for LFG.

This is always so hilarious, what exactly was stopping you from playing with someone else who also felt the way you do?

Who’s stopping you from that? Nobody but you, you gatekept yourself.

Its a competitive gamemode with rewards so what do you expect honestly? Someone has to lose so someone can win and people will get mad over it,that happens in every aspect of life.Its how you deal with it that makes the difference.

I just won’t play arenas because outside of healing them I generally have never had a fun time in them. I’ve had arena matches last ten seconds. Ss rounds where the healer just asks or someone gets pissed and leaves. Bots. Traders. People screaming. People never using a single cd. Some mat he’s that last literally until dampening is so high you just autolose or lose because of outside mechanics. The pace is 100% of the time 1000mph. I’ve had matches where I died and never saw my enemy. So many problems with arena it just honestly ends up in an extremely frustrating rage quit. Pretty much every single person I have ever played arena with or talked to about arena feels the same way. It was great for like two years 15 years ago and it’s sucked bags ever since. Let it die.

Welcome to every online game, ever.

You didnt read a thing did u. When I started pvping I was doing 2s with a buddy of mine and was lots of fun. Now I cant because class balance is trash and double dps is autoloss most of the time.

If I wanted to play with randoms I would have to subject to “glad exp, low cr high exp, chill 2s” that after one loss they kick me and the cycle starts again.

Peoples expectations are usually not balanced with their own skill in mind. If “normal” arena dies because the solo modes are eaaier to get into without the hassle of going through thousands of players until you find the ONE you can just play and have fun then thats an arena mode and arena playerbase issue.

Well its one thing to be mad and voice out peoples game losing plays. It is another to still insult people like we are teenagers back in 2005. We have grown up at this point. Pointing out mistakes is what needs to be done to help people grow. Most people also think they are infallible in these random group settings and never think to themselves on what they could have done differently to help the team.

That and main character syndrome.

Sounds like you hate arena because you have no clue what’s going on which leads to you losing games and then you don’t know why you lost. I think one of the biggest causes of this is how bad the base ui is at displaying critical information.

People that lose arena games and know why they lost that make adjustments as a team and proceed to beat the team they lost to will have a feeling of satisfaction from playing this gamemode.

No I know what’s going on it just sucks. Lol. Not trying to be rude but it’s really not fun for like 95% of players that is just the honest truth. If it weren’t true there would be people playing arenas. It’s dying cause it’s atrocious.

Nah, people just only wanna play with bigger teammates. Also hard to figure queues sometimes. :dracthyr_nervous_animated:

idc. ive been saying it for some 10+ years LFG has got to go OR have a massive rework. also 99% of the time its not worth it. everyone just leaves after 1 loss anyway

Based shuffle and blitz.
