Solo Q is the future, cant wait for the balancing

PVP Arenas

I know…3v3 was the Gold standard…

But lets be realistic…it was solely based around comps with team play…

None of that equates to SQ!

Comps will always be overpowered because of synergy…

Classes? Thats where the magic will happen.

Not gonna lie…I’d love to lick Rogue tears forever if they were made into a setup-bot like DKs are…with all the CC, Resets, etc…no reason they need to be the big dam/KB types.

Changes can and will happen…

Look at Warlocks and Warriors…

Used to be in the wheelchair crowd without any mobility…

Now they all have gap closers/makers/Dam and are understandably top tier. Sorry Pallys…No money left in the care fund for you, have a pony ride!

Other classes/specs? might as well not exist.

But NOW we will see just how OP, without comps, teamplay, synergy, classes really are…

Im hopeful they will tune many OP specs into the dirt where most of the classes are, and then maybe we can see different comps, classes, have more representation.

I like healers with Damp for quick games…but since they are restricted by mana…

Make them semi-DPS, with bonus healing, so its just insta-queue 3v3 “DPS” games.

Otherwise they need to be Livelords… Healers wont play otherwise.

Hoping this will introduce more variety into AWC, its always boring meta-comp games, and arent interesting to watch at all.

This hurt me on a existential level :frowning:

I’m not going to lie, I kind of agree that solo q functions are pretty welcoming and gamechanging, I only really play with the same people I’ve always played with and they aren’t always ready for 3s so I’ve really just chilled in 2s and whatnot it’s hard to find the time to push rating with friends when we all have lives.

But now I can do Arena whenever I want without party finder with some toxic Andy, if the shttalk starts in solo Q just bang a ignore and continue on. Lots of options to progress my PvP gear these days without having to sit in discord with someone I don’t know (not that you had to) but still, queue without a care now.

Reason why I’ve never taken the time to level a Pally. I leveled a Holy in Legion simply for the 2H Mace, and was hoping for the mace + shield like Yrel. I hate their Mastery, since its not practical, and if I wanted to do anything else…hate all they have is pony.

Poor Mobility sucks in WoW…wish the devs would get a clue, and change that.

LOLOLOL He said balancing. Blizzard hasn’t cared about balancing for 15 years.

Gear is now easier than ever.

I hope this will spur Blizzard into looking at classes that aren’t played as much.

Have no hate for rated, party 3’s, but its not actually balanced around that, as much as they say it is, and is really about comps. Classes deserved to be looked at, and tweaked if they are over or under performing.

Watching One-Shot videos, while others are basically quitting WoW because their class sucks is terrible to see.

Blizzard has this ONE chance, with time to devote to it…to fix this…before LoL releases their game, and Im pretty sure they will devote more time to making competitive/rated PvP something worthwhile.

Yeah no. SoloQ is a lot of fun and an excellent addition to the game but there is no universe where it replaces 3s as the sharp end of pvp.

Doesn’t have to. solo queue can have its own rewards too, maybe a mount in addition to the title (NOT the same one as gladiator in normal 3’s)
it’s a great feature they’ve added

No one cares about rated WoW PvP anymore, It ended after WOTLK. Solo Q is the way it includes way more people.

Im not saying it will replace it, just that it will become a balancing tool. 3’s are whatever Blizzard decides they will be…Most are tired of the same old comps/classes being S tier in Meta Comps…so this might urge them to make changes, that will benefit the pvp community at large, instead of the super small community of high ranked 3’s players.
