It’s not about increasing it. They can place gladiator in .5% of solo shuffle instead of 2400 and I would be happy with that. It’s not about accessibility in terms of rating. I don’t even understand why 2400 rating is gladiator and I don’t agree with it.
This is about allowing people who don’t have a robust list of friends to play with the opportunity to achieve the title. I have been 2600 rated in previous season when I had friends to play with. I dropped down to 2550 and missed Glad that season by 30 points. I was 2300+ in shadowlands S1.
If I continued to sit in LFG for hours looking and playing I probably could have achieved the title. The experience of finding people through LFG is terrible. Video games are supposed to present a fair and fun challenge. I don’t know any other modern game where the player pool would be okay with only achieving the highest title through premades.
