Thoughts on rated solo queue rn?

Personally i think leaving penalty should be more than 6 rounds + deserter. Otherwise whats to stop someone from leaving if they’re going 0-6 just to spite the person they lost against. Eitherway they lose 6 so might as well screw over the other guy you’re salty against. This seems even more prevalent for healer vs healer 0-6s.

Id like to see something like Leaving 1 game per week equals 8 loss 30 minute ban accnt wide, second game equals 10 loss 2 hour accnt wide, 3rd game equals 15 loss 24 hour band. If they are not going to reward points to the non leavers they have to make punishments harsh.

A lot of fun but dh/wws hurt my soul and I seem to be getting atleast 1 of each of these classes with several matching 2 wws or 2 dhs in a single match which is horrible to heal.

I can’t always reproduce it, but if you are necro enhance and take primordial wave as a talent sometimes you can:

primordial wave > 10 stack elem blast > primordial wave > 10 stack lightning bolt

Sometimes that second primordial wave is active, sometimes it isn’t.

they need to fix the issue with not being able to upgrade your gear, I am setting at 1850 and can’t get the next upgrade, with the matches starting to get a bit harder. Also, my wins are not going to the mount rewards and the weekly vault.

And yes, ww well take you from 100 to zero in less than a second, happened to me haha.

Solo shuffle doesn’t count towards the weekly vault? lulz.

This is painful so far.

On my rogue, I got WWs every game and a teammate got annihilated without pressing a defensive. Or I got a really bad healer who goes 0 wins to the decent healer’s 6.

On my Mistweaver, I get 1200 dps where rounds run for 5 minutes because I can’t CC the enemy healer (one DPS trains them, the other flops around in mid) and then someone leaves, so I can’t even get out of this awful bracket.

Coupled with poor balance and dumb legendary/covenant interactions, this just isn’t fun.

It’s meant to, but a lot of things aren’t counting right now.

so true bestie

Can’t upgrade gear? What is the point?

You’re meant to be able to but wins that qualify you for rewards in that bracket aren’t currently registering or something.

So you can’t upgrade pvp gear from Rated Solo rating is a bug? we need a clarification from blizzard. Why can’t they just at least say something.

What impresses me the most is that someone could honestly suggest this. A 24 hour ban for /afking out of a pvp minigame?

Just administer rating changes based on current # of rounds won/lost regardless of completion

It’s bugged, therefore there is no point lol

Likely something about being an “Aloof Master” over their playerbase

a 24 hour ban (from the mode) if it’s your third or fifth leave of the day or something seems reasonable.

My b I read that as acct ban

This except any lost rounds taken while the leaver was on your team should not count against you.

Also to de-incentivize leaving, the leaver should be administered rating changes based on current won/lost PLUS an extra lost round. That way there would really be no reason to leave in round 6.

Needs to backfill the players that leave and adjust the rating accordingly for the new person that arrived in.

I suppose that’s frustrating. I guess I’m just not taking any of it too seriously until the season starts. I’m just enjoying it for what it is for now.

Yea, idk my attitude shifted i guess since i’ve spammed it on brawl giving feedback, then on beta a lot giving feedback, even on ptr too

just to see the same problems last months and make it live, while M+/Raiding see concrete results of their feedback the very next week

Not just me, ppl far more meticulous saying the same stuff

Then on launch conquest gear/rating is broken while valor is fine and its not even listed on known issues.

I think a full 0/6 loss on rating and a 15 min deserter debuff makes it well not worth the trouble of queueing all together if you are prone to quit games… That said there would be DC protection I imagine like other instances so if you drop and log right back in you may lose a round and as a result the match but it is an online game so hard to avoid the occasional DC… I have DC’d several times since the patch once for taking the Halloween XP buff…

How? I queued hundreds of 3s last season and I can count on one hand the number of games that ended due to a DC.
