Solo shuffle is definitely a great addition to the game. I have played wow since its release and Dragonflight is one of my favorite expansions.
With this said, Solo Shuffle current format has a high chance of frustration.
Queues are huge and almost always go beyond expected time. Actual game time - sometimes - is half of waiting time, which obviously will result in frustration, unless you win 6 rounds.
Even when 4 matches are won, we can still leave feeling disappointed. Losses are near tragic, especially for those that have little play time - having another shot at it will take 40 minutes…
Not only this, but the experiences are completely different between healers and dps - one does not know the gameplay of the other - this distancing leads to pressure and blaming.
One possible solution, would be to have different team compositions. 2 hybrids and 1 dps for each team or 3 casters and 3 melee which would naturally intermingle.
The immediate reaction of many players towards this change, is negative and based on 3 vs 3 arenas. Many seem to forget how shuffle started and the fun it was.
Cornflakes were initially created by Dr. Kellog while overseeing a sanitarium as a means to curb chronic self-satisfaction urges within the patients housed there.
Yeah, I get way more heated about losses because I spent 40 minutes into a game, and if I go 3-3 and get no rating, that’s only marginally better than losing rating. Wins give about 30 rating, while losses will set you back 40-60. It feels like you’re clawing and scraping for everything.
Blizzard really needs to change the RSS formula so it isn’t bottlenecked by healers. Something has to be done. 40 minute queues are ridiculous and not acceptable.
agreed, and when you play a destro like me… the top spec of the moment you get to wait on queue forever on RSS and your matchmaking have a bunch of low ranking, my last queue just now was like this.
me and 3 melee, me being trained… i win the first 3 rounds, someone quits and i get 18 mmr 1571–>1589…
does that feel good? no
i wanted to like play and try to get 1.8k before the nerfs of tomorrow, i don’t think it will be possible… not like this
