Solo Shuffle Ruined PvP

Kinda crazy how dead LFG is with merged factions as well. Wonder what it would’ve looked like with LFG still split up. Probably have zero teams in LFG on alliance. I saw more sellers in the 3s section than actual groups listed late at night a couple weeks ago.

I’m a firm believer that soloq has made players worse.

When I’m sitting there queueing real 3s and having two of us yell at our third to stop playing like its soloq in the middle of the game, there’s a problem.

And the simple fix is to take a page out of Warmane’s book is to make it 1 round instead of 6. Lowers rating inflation, lowers queue times, makes people less griefable, and generally makes it more fun + communication becomes a thing.

Except I’ve seen that title a handful of times already.

It would have been a madhouse with split faction lfg and likely killed regular arena even more. If we are looking at the racials on average to this point, nelf and dwarf/dark iron dwarf have been by far most impactful. Specs that don’t have to or can’t play one of those have done fine, but on average, if you were changing specs for pvp, it was to one of those under the knowledge that you didn’t just have to play with that faction.

Yep, pretty much the point I am making here.

Hard to find a 3s team in LFG, but very easy to find a booster service or gold selling service.

Honestly, you’re just whining. No one is stopping you from playing what you want. If you don’t want to make your own groups AND you want to play a trash build, then you get what you get. The majority of players aren’t looking at your spec and then leaving. You know how i know, because I have 10k+ matches played in arena. I have played with easily 1,000’s of players. Like anything, people will see how you play and then leave.

I was building RBG groups for my enhance sham. The vast majority of people didn’t care. Same went for doing arena. There are people that will play with anything.

My guess is you have an awful attitude and no one wants to play with you. Probably some toxic 1200 player who is unwilling to change anything because “that’s meta” or something.

Its the ratings sellers, they took over pvp. Even many PvP elites clock into to put in their hours.

Didnt ruin anything, if ppl liked making groups and queing for the organized 3v3 or 2v2 theyd still do it and itd be popular.

I hated having to go through the motions of LFG so for ppl like me Solo is perfect and am glad for it.

I had a similar issue except, it was the healer that was whispering me for 5 mins telling me how awesome they were because 6 seasons ago they got to 2100 and that im poop and should volunteer to stop breathing.

Mean while he pulled me into dps multiple times while im trying to kite 2 melee and overlapped defenses with turtle already up, broke traps and didnt chain cc.

/shrug

Yep yep and more yep. My entire friends list is grey for a reason.

To be fair you r playing a hunter

At 1300 solo shuffle that sounds about right.

Solo Shuffle is trash.

Logging in waiting in an almost two hour Que isn’t fun even if you win every round. No point in playing when it doesn’t give rewards.

Nobody wanted to have anything do with Shadowlands in general or Blizzard in 2020 - 2021. But man does it ever make a nice narrative for the Solo Shuffle shills to be able to say " look my shiny new mode saved PvP!" ignoring that 3s was pretty fine and not why people hated the game at all.

Saved it for me, but stew in that hate and discontent.

If ppl liked it theyd still be in it :man_shrugging: :clinking_glasses:

It saved it for a lot of the players that have been hard stuck 1500 in 2s and 3s for several xpacs. They get into groups now and don’t have to deal with LFG asking them for past xp or achievements. They’re pushing ratings they’ve never come close to in 2s or 3s.

Honestly curious if it wasn’t so easy to gain rating in solo if it would still be this popular.

The number of players I’ve seen at 2.5k+ rating in solo that have never been over 1800 in 2s or 3s is crazy to me.
