Honestly if u want more healers to play the game in general make healing more fun damping ramps up entirely too fast. And only certain healers can handle the higher levels of damping. It work is expansion past but currently healing isnt fun when you join a solo and your lose 30% of your healing off the bat. Feels bad. and in general damping is out dated in all arena asepects of the game. waiting hours to get a healer in 2v2 3v3 and solo just isnt good for the game in general. Shorten arena match times and let it go 5 mins before match damping starts let ppl get enough tme to cycle through cool downs at least once. Solo shuffle i havnt thought of a decent way to deal with the issues but ramping damping up so fast is just not fun. want more healers to play dont gimp them at the start of a solo shuffle. giving more rewards isnt the answer. honor is basically useless once you get full gear. and once people cap they will just play less. they’re just gonna cap and not play anymore so youre creating a bigger shortage of healers.

Fix healers not gaining any rating even after a 6 game win streak and maybe more will queue.

The fact a dps thats going 0-5 on the last round afking out he lose 200 rating while no one else gains is super lame

Ive barely gone up rating cause not gaining rating on my win steaks
and losing 2-4 seems to put me at a stagnant

making me try harder cause i have to do a 70% 30% w/l ratio

Not to mention the punishments for leaving is very lackluster

Any chance we have tank queue separate from dps. It’s annoying getting put in with tanks who does ZERO cc and low dps. It’s rewarding bad players for just popping self heals while his teammate does ALL the work. Just kind of stuff just breeds bad toxicity and ruins pvp.

Last 3 solo shuffles someone has left half way through… What’s the consequence for leaving and is it harsh enough?

Please this. I dropped in points because what would have been wins didnt count because of leavers.

But… if you fix this, it lowers my time to skin and fish… :frowning:

because it doesnt require the same skill level as regular arenas…in fact,…its worlds apart

Thats wrong. Some players cant find groups, cuz of language, cuz of class, etc. Solo its the mode of the future, as any other game, you just sit and q to play.

It just needs to be fixed.

I think a good start its to grant almost the same amount to victory, and the same amount to lossses.

What i mean it is, like valorant, you have like a lot of levels, if you put it together, its like 2400 rating.

But, the amount of a win and a loss are the same, or real close.

if game was this way, you could put people 2500 playng with people 1300 with no problem, and each round, won or loss, granting the same amount or close, like, the total variation of a solo shufle should be something close to 30 rating, that means 5 cr for win.

If someone is really good, it should gain 30 rating for a perfect, and, if they win win win win, the rating should go on, that dosnt matter.

Game should try to put highest rated people against each other, but, if they arent, no problem. Even if bad people win win win, sometimes he will loose lose lose.

That been said, number should change.

I think this way should be easyer.

Its so sad when you win a 6-0 and gain like 5 cr. Or, when you lose 3 cuz someone its bad, and win 3, and still loses 60 100 cr.

Thats my thoughts about it.

The headscratcher about this choice is that Solo IS Rated Arena now lol. If you get Glad in Solo or 3s, you’re likely in a very similar ballpark of skill and dedication. Nobody sees the need for a different title.

FIX SOLO SHUFFLE RATINGS. 0 RATING ALL AROUND WHEN THERE’S A LEAVER. As a healer I have 5 wins, other healer leaves on the 6th match, I get 0 rating. Sure he loses some, but he was going to lose it anyways so why not leave. Not working as intended.

Solo shuffle is by far the best game mode for pvp, allowing easy access to a 3v3 match is massively needed if wow is to try progress the competitive esports aspects of wow. massive fan of the style but these dps q’s need to be fixed, last 2 shuffles both were 30min+ q’s and someone left after the first round in both…

I can’t really bank on finding partners to play so I have to play solo shuffle. It’s absolutely maddening when people quit at some point in the 6 rounds. I’ll be 5 of 6 and get no rating reward for the 20-30 minute queue. Then I have to queue again and before you know it I’ve used up all my free time to play the game. Saw a reddit post that suggested a 24 hour deserter debuff for leaving solo rated and I cannot express how much I agree with and want this - account wide.

I have had the same issue - multiple wins with no rating change, on top of the ridiculous que times.

Just had another player drop/quit at round three I was 3-0 and bang game ended no points. Blizzard, can we please get the per round rating award rather than per match… This isn’t going to stop so either reward people per round or prevent people from leaving period.

Deserter buffs need to be account wide and much more severe for rated, like you drop you’re out for 24 hrs.

I really hope that you would consider incentivizing both sides of the equation meaning;

  • Giving incentives for players who currently play as a healer and incentivizing DPS to try healers.

One great suggestions I would give is to please introduce some kind of preferred or priority queue for accounts that play as healers when they switch to DPS.

For example, If I heal for 10 games in solo shuffle, when I switch to my dps, I should have 10 games worth of priority queue. I truly think this would incentive more people to play as healers as they would also get benefits when they switch to their dps class.

6 hours in Shuffle ques, 8 ques failed, 3 went (one of which someone instaleft). 2 ques in 6 hours. Game seems good.

Where do I request a refund?
