So what you saying is your opinion don’t count 
All the smart as comments being thrown directly at people are not to be taken personal then?

Cov has never been shy, if he wants to say something he’s always just out right said it.

RSS is my preferred game mode at the moment due to access and time constraints. I enjoy it, and it was a great addition to the game from my perspective.
However, RSS plays entirely different than organized 3s arena and trying to imply that RSS takes more skill than regular 3s is the most asinine, disconnected and insincere take that I read in recently arena forum history.
Rather than cannibalizing ourselves, perhaps, Blizzard should reevaluate reward structure, standardized MMR and shorter seasons. Those are some of the bigger issues that impact every bracket in varying degrees.

He has.
I used to respect this dude.
I agree that the two are very different and I’m not trying to imply that those that get rating from rss are better than those that do it the old fashioned way. I just take issue with how belittling Covlol and the other’s have been toward those that enjoy rss.
That’s cute and you call others elitist.
Coordination =/= individual skill. I agree with the general sentiment though.
Lalalalala 
opinion invalid. If you wanna give it, you have to be willing to take it aswell. Such as people’s view on nerf/buff x class don’t count unless they high rated in 3s 
For the record, my comments weren’t directed at you.
I appreciate all game modes. And I understand the frustration associated on both spectrums. I think this issue transcends our opinions, and Blizzard has done an absolutely dismal job elevating arena/PvP in general into the next theoretical generation.

That was a good way of putting. Like, if people want to make friends online to play a video game that’s cool! Do what you want. To force your idea that mmos is somewhere where you HAVE to make friends is crazy tho. All the friends I can possibly maintain were made in my childhood where we grew up together and experienced each other’s hardships. I don’t need WoW to make friends.
I want to simply interact with others because that’s what I like about WoW, but I’m not desperate for friendship. If that’s what the 3s crowd wants to do, it doesn’t bother me, but don’t force it on to me by making the only available bracket 3s.
Parasocial relationships need to be intensively studied.

I don’t “try to convey” anything bud, I just say it.
If you assume this is saying all RSS players are trash then you need to take a break from the forums.
I’ve openly said that trash players who play RSS hurts the community, stop assuming this means all RSS players.
Example of a RSS players who isn’t a trash player btw.
This is a good take, the brackets should not be sharing ANY rewards.
You take issue with your assumption of it.
I see where you are coming from, I get SS is sweaty and toxic but i believe that stems from wanting to do well and improve. Every round I always try and ask myself what could I have done better even if a teammate throws. Every round is about self improvement, the less toxic you are and self reflect the more you will improve.
I get splitting the playerbase sucks for everyone, and some people just don’t like certain game modes and that’s perfectly fine. I think we’d all benefit by coming up with ideas instead of just bashing each other, the community starts right here. Just as every round of arena starts with a positive attitude.
The best thing about SS is i believe that it all evens out, since everyone plays with the same advantages and same disadvantages. You can disagree if you don’t agree of course and even if you hate the game mode, I hope you do well in it and in 3s and reach all your goals for the season!
It’s usually only after someone takes it has a personal affront that they 
on the mode.
You can enjoy the mode, but it’s only those who try and claim rss is harder or more skill expression do they start disabusing people of that notion

I argue on the merits of the points, not look to discredit people try again
The years old rhetoric that regular 3s takes more skill than shuf is false and INSINCERE.
Does it take more coordination? Absolutely, hence why a lot of people prefer to use voice on their pushes. Something that’s barely brought up is regular 3’s is scripted , for the most part even now. When you play with a team or a comp, you have certain win cons and certain set ups that always create similar if not the same result. The skill portion comes in execution. Creating these conditions faster and without the enemy team being able to react appropriately.
Shuf takes a different skill set or even approach where your awareness and ability to think on the fly is rewarded versus doing the same coordinated set ups and trade you did for the last 5 weekends with your FLP.
My only goals is to make wpvp great again, but blizzard has let the runt of the litter basically die.
But that’s the thing, people that want just arena aren’t bashing people that enjoy rss, they’re bashing the people who specifically want 3s to die simply because they couldn’t find success in it themselves.
RSS should have never been given arena rewards and should have gotten it’s own titles and cosmetics, instead of this foofoo version of arena that feels more like pve than pvp.

Bro, you can’t play either bracket. Why are you so opinionated on this?
You can’t have a ranked mode without rewards and it is arena. Not having the glad mount is enough (for now). Eventually they’re gonna have to put the glad mount in shuffle when 3’s dies completely.
The ability to mongoloid all your cds and win is not a skillset.
RSS has a disconnect in pvp compared to literally every other PVP mode out there.
In arena a lot of times blowing all cds and getting the kill a lot of times resulted in 1 if nit 2 partners getting killed in the following 2v3 losing the match for the first blood team.
I can not express the amount of times in say 2s where the other 2 blew all cds to secure a kill on my partner that they had nothing left to survive me and I kill 1 of them and turn it into a 1v1.
I’ve had teams in 3s who blew everything keeping me peeled so they could live long enough to get a kill on my dps/healer, but then have no defensives or cc available to stop my resulting killing them.
There is very little skill expression in RSS unfortunately

What makes you think you can’t do that in 3’s lmao
Bro what??
I think you’re trolling when you say these things. There’s no way you’re being serious.
Have you even played beyond starting mmr?
He’s talking out of his rear again.

For the aforementioned reason I literally gave after the fact.
Quite literally been happening since arena’s been a thing.
For someone who claimed to have done high lvl 2s carries should know about the occurrence, since it happens there the most.
