I actually just literally can’t climb anymore. Over 2 months ago I got 3 alts to 2200-2300 each. I just lost 60 points going 3-3 twice in a row on healer back down to 2100. 500 rounds on rshaman can’t even break past 2200. Rather just quit then sit in dps ques all day the rest of the season and have zero chance to ever do anything else in the game.
Please god another game come out this year to play. Blizzard doesn’t respect our time at all. Like not even close. Like it’s actually making me sick how much time I wasted playing this season just to be screwed over by blizzard and in shackles until the last week of the season. If we are even lucky, they might just let it die like this.

Healers underrepresented by over 50% at 2400 but good luck have fun with 3s buddy. Nobody else will be there to join you. Not this season, next season, or next xpac. Dragonflght was ONLY a success because of shuffle. What’s left of the tiny playerbase is just going to get even smaller and your que times even longer. So enjoy. You perpetual child.

I think I have monk, hunter set left to get and I don’t think I can do it. I’ve played arena since day 1 at least a few games every day and I’m completely burned out. what a wild season this has been. completely miserable for every healer
edit: I forgot to say I’m hoping another PvP game comes out also. it’s time to move on permanently. I haven’t seen this much lack of care since my unfolded laundry sat in my hamper for 3 weeks.
This is a skill issue. Plenty of rshams can get over 2200, it’s just you.
You’ve only been over 2200 on 2 characters this season not 3, both warlocks probably when portals were 1 shotting.
lol the only reason shuffle is a “success” is because it’s the first ranked pvp gamemode you can solo q. It’s the literal bottom of the barrel and a mockery of wow arena.

3s queues times are 30 seconds.
It’s shuffle queues that make u wait 50 minutes.

If you exclude alts, you need to be something like top .005% of shamans just to be 2200
Currently 2200 is top 1% for shaman. And that includes peoples multi alts.
How do you not understand that shuffle is a gateway to 3s. Why do you think 2s is way more popular with healers? Because it’s an easier entry. I have current season glads sign up to play with me when I que 3s on healer despite only being 2k-2.1k on my healers in shuffle. But I don’t want to play 3s. I want my rewards from shuffle first. I don’t really care about 3s. So I just won’t play either. And many other people are like me.

The solution is simple: Inflate MMR. The ~+4 per week I’ve been seeing so far doesn’t count. I’m talking maybe even 200, maybe more, and even more for healers in any case…
That would bump the ladder up some 100+ pts, and more people could break into their next tier esp. at the lower ranks. I can see the argument for “season 1 ratings were way too inflated” – fine, but some good place in the middle can surely be found…
I still think losses are a bit too punishing in shuffle, and having a leaver after a 40 min queue even more so. I also wish I could say: let’s implement a ban on x2+ of a specific class in a lobby, but then queues would literally take 3 hours 
*Correct me if I’m wrong - but iirc there was no mid-season “bump” at all.
There’s 190 characters over 2200. If you can’t manage to be one of them it’s a skill issue. Also the only place where you find tons of alts is top 20 rshams. Over 2200 though out of those 190 characters it’s like 12-15. That’s like nothing.
Then you say this LOL.
Doubt there are many if any people like you sir. And thank god for that.

Sounds like you got owned
Just play a different game man if your unhappy. WoW has a way of keeping you sucked in. Even just taking a few days off you’ll feel better. It’s just a video game none of this matters! Lol

Maybe instead of being a condescending loser you could realize you two clearly have different opinions on if 175 people @2200/< is acceptable or not.

he’s not even worth responding to. I fought nahj for 3 hours at 2100-2200 (2s obviously). occasionally get a war/rsham team. people are just rude or out of touch & sometimes both.

What time and when did this happen ?
Just to be clear you fought Nahj for 3 hours straight mostly with just one other team ?
Take a look at enhance shaman, you’ll have a laugh!

They left a powerleveling system in place to get max lvl afk in an hour
They made it so you can fully gear a character instantly by sending boxes
They created RSS so you can unlock every PvP reward with barely any understanding of how arena works.
I’m sorry how is your personal placements on a ranked ladder related to Blizzard respecting your time?
What happened in the past few couple years where everyone decided competitive ranked PvP means everyone wins and nobody loses.
You could get 2400 as a healer in RSS the only thing it requires is you getting better at the game and luck obv cuz shuffle is 10% playing your class 90% rng
And if you’re frustrated with the watered down dps race version of the game you also have the option to play regular wow. Dudes malding about ARAM

I was not aware of that can you share how ?
None of those things are time sinks they are time gates. And shuffle is more deflated than 3s by a large margin, obviously and especially for healers. Everything you just said applies to 3v3 giving out welfare rewards more than it does shuffle. You can boost people in 3s. Not shuffle. 3s is the welfare bracket.

Yea thats what they wanted. I don’t like the new plunderstorm. I came in second few times. Renown to grindy for me to really get into. But unlike the 3’s players i wont whine and make them kill the mode because i dont like it. If ppl are having fun then its good for the game.
