Solo Shuffle Update - January 6

Same, it’s just a quick vault cap for me

Remember a few years back in HOTS when there was an issue that caused only Mac players to crash on Sky Temple but only when their graphics were set sufficiently high? And then you would have to play through leaver queue? And then you would have to hope and pray that you didn’t get that map or the whole thing would start over again? But like, it didn’t happen every game, because it only happened on one map, and it didn’t happen to everyone, just a portion of the player base, so it took a while to figure out what was going on? And the penalties were being handed out even during the days or weeks that we didn’t know what was causing it?

Anyway, I’m glad nothing like that will ever happen in WoW.

Well I think all healers want is a fair MMR games, not matching us below 150-200 MMR game.

It is also hard to tell whether the player DC intentionally or not, because I had a game that went 4/0, the 5th game, his nameplate is gray out, showed DC. then 6th game he left. so In this case, I wanted to say it is intentional, but hard to judge.

Hello even with this leavers will still be a problem.
Please when you leave add -100mmr aswell, and give +20 mmr to the other 5 that stayed.

anyone else notice how theres one guy who won 1 round and he gained 24 rating while having his mmr higher than the average mmr?

either this is made up or theres something fishy going on here.

if your mmr is higher than the average mmr you will lose rating if you dont win at least 3 games. so no idea whats happening here.

The problem is they’re putting people with 0 rating with people that have 1400 and beyond. It’s ridiculous, that person will always gain rating if they win at least 1 game while anyone else will either gain next to nothing or lose over 50 points for that 1 round lost.

Account suspension for leaving seems a bit excessive. You’re basically forcing people to play something they don’t want to. I’ll admit that I’ve left some solo shuffles out of frustration. The way rating is calculated for winning rounds and losing rounds makes no sense. I’ve won on average 4 out of 6 rounds and only got 10 rating, but lost 4 out of 6 rounds and lost 100+ rating. Make that make sense. The penalties already present seem fine. When I’ve found myself in the position where I left, I needed a break anyway. I don’t think this will fix anything. People who already have long queues will only have longer queues now, because less people will be doing RSS. I can’t say that I’m terribly interested in doing it anymore, knowing my account could be banned just for leaving. But whatever. Solo shuffle is a mess of a game mode that should have been left to rot in the shadowlands.

Yep, I’m near a point I’m just gonna cap my vault which is about 3 games and being done for the week. That’ll also make dps ques longer but I’d rather keep my sanity atm then keep trying to push up to nothingness lol

Honestly, I am in agreement with this as well. Account suspension shouldn’t be on the table for wanting to leave a form of content. This would make solo shuffle the only form of content in which this is applicable and sets a bad precedent. Punish people as hard as you want numerically, but account suspension? That’s wild.

I won’t ever queue up for a RSS again as long as this is a thing. It’s already frustrating enough as a healer. Sometimes it’s better to just walk away than it is to stay and end up saying or doing things you’ll regret. But now I’m forced to sit through the entire thing no matter what? I mean, I’ve even left RSS games I was winning because I had to. The game was taking too long, and I was sick and had to make a run to the toilet super quick. (Nasty, I know. Sorry.) I left the game since I was going to be away. Oh sorry, you have real life obligations? Well, your account is banned now. Nah, I’ll pass on the entire thing. Good call, Blizz.

The straw man comments are so ridiculous and make up less than 1% of people that actually leave. Just_stop_pleaase_for_the_love_of_god - There is no perfect formula, but lets try and be real here /sheesh

Cool story listen to us in beta instead of wasting thousands of hours of your players time.

You had time to listen to your screeching discord qq about inferno deck and rightly nerfed it why was there not time to fix the brackets core system?

Your inner dialogue “My system is absolutely trash and people told me it was trash, but I didnt want to listen because I’m super arrogant and entitled.”

Also ban yourselves for making the system that created an environment to incentivise leavers and a system that let people pay to win for a full gear day 1. Still no blue post about the trophy of strife “bug”.

The undisputed most scuffed pvp season of all time.

Said it before, I’ll say it again never has a pvp season felt more like the devs are actively trying to mess with the player base than this one.

I like this but blizz’s solution will likely be this:

  • Healers now receive 40% more honor and conquest for queuing into Rated Solo Shuffle!

Yeah let’s just let an obviously terrible epidemic of leavers go unpunished so that 1% or less of the population can continue to chain d/c and ruin the games they are in with others.

I really don’t get how anyone is opposed to this unless they leave games often.

You dont get it because you don’t play a healer.

They have no answer for healing and instead will issue bans. ok lol

That will just be 2 or 3 games a week to cap vault rather then 3 or 4 for the week lol

yep, but can you imagine them actually providing anything fun and incentivizing? When I proposed removal of dampening, all the DPS started crying saying the games will take 3 mins instead of 30 seconds.
