Thoughts on rated solo queue rn?

lol, i think you know how anyone not playing a tank right now feels

dead game mode until they ban healers too

i feel like yelling, but they have had many weeks of reporting these issues while it was in beta to fix things. unacceptable.

It’s pre patch. These issues are currently irrelevant. I’m not hugely concerned with it. I highly doubt it goes live during S1.

Pretty sure the 15 conquest for prepatch is a place holder. Its pretty great besides when someone leaves after 5 rounds and no one gets anything

Lol what? Calm down lil fella.

Yeah, that’s a little weird and likely not going live. But rating isn’t really important in the off season, they’ve got time to get things right.

Either way, I think this is a monumental step forward. And while there are a few kinks to work out, this is overall a positive thing. I don’t agree with the negativity.

my assumption is that most of those small things are because they’re paying attention to other things. and the things like not being able upgrade etc dont really matter much since there isn’t an active season.

More like for months and have been constantly reported on live and beta. Get the spirit of what you’re saying but even the /camp “exploit” works live.

Specs, m+ affixes and raid encounters get tweaked weekly based off testing the week prior during beta testing

i mean in the grand scheme of things i just want to be able to play and have fun.

not being able to upgrade my gear atm can def be annoying to people playing alts tho so i completely agree that you should be able to. and some of the other issues do suck.

I’m enjoying it. It’s the most Arena I’ve gotten to play in a long time. It’s very casual friendly and the higher-level players that are playing it are very helpful. I feel like from my 1st rated solo shuffle to my last played one, I’ve already grown a lot as an Arena player. Looking forward to trying some 3v3 arena in DF for the first time in years.

Its crumbs when the people wanted a full course meal.

Typical blizz though. Make a lot of hype and deliver nothing.

To my knowledge this is the first day rated solo queue has been live?

Either way, I don’t think these issues are important immediately as it’s level 60s doing PvP designed for level 70 players in the off season. Alt gearing and rating isn’t working, tuning is necessary, but it’s the off season. There’s no point to queue right now other than to play around. I think it’ll all be fine.

I actually think it’s probably really hard to balance PvE and PvP, so tuning PvE weekly and then adjusting PvP accordingly later makes a lot of sense to me.

People keep leaving, 4th game, 7-8m queue each time, usually around round 3-4.

The penalty should be rating loss of 6 rounds if you leave, regardless at which round you leave.

there isn’t an active season. theyre numbers, they dont matter.

The kind of person who leaves a shuffle after a match they already finished losing might be stupid enough to care about those numbers

The bugs, penalties (lack there of), and player behavior have all existed for months before it going live is entirely the point

Also idk if this was covered already, sorry if it was; after we do get these issues resolved, I was wondering if the Solo Que rating they had achieved would show up when you inspect someone’s character profile - I’m sure any achievements would be reflected but will we have a section like we currently do with 2v2 etc, i think I read somewhere in dragonflight we ill be able to look up the top scorers on here, sorry just bored since everything keeps getting shut down for maintenance

As long as they give healers and tanks the ability to turn off DPS, sure.

Seems fair, If you leave after the half-way mark you take a rating loss like a 0/6 and the deserter debuff. It should be a really harsh penalty.
