Update pvp rewards

PVP Arenas
1

So after about 15 min in the toilet, I thought of potential updates to pvp rewards.

How about for each II rank we get additional rewards.

So for combatant II we could get a hearthstone

Challenger II we could get a pet

The legend pennant can be moved to Rival II

Duelist keeps the weapon illusion and elite the Tabard.

Now, the big ones…

Why not make off color variations of the 3s mount for 2s, RSS, and RBGs.

This way 2s has some relevancy and pvpers have incentive to do more than just solo and 3s.

Make the off color variations to be more dull like to keep the prestigious value of 3s.

MAYBE even have the 2s and solo mounts be armor less?

I feel there are enough rewards for PVP currently. We do not need anymore.

You can never have too many rewards.

I got plenty of mounts, I’ll live.

The point is to add more rewards to pvp.

In sure multi glads would be okay with dull color variations or even armorless versions to be added to 2s, RBGs and RSS.

Yes you can. The rewards for PVP are fine. If you don’t want to do a certain format just don’t do it. The last thing Blizzard should do is dangle rewards over otherwise dead formats.

They’re dead because there’s no incentive to do them…

Plus adding a hearth stone and a pet and one mount to each pvp mode isn’t that much to add.

Literally nothing wrong with adding more content.

If something dies due to lack of incentive, then people must not enjoy it for its own sake that much. And then, the question arises, why does it exist in the first place?

12

Most people don’t engage in content that doesn’t yield some type of reward.

Good content is both rewarding and fun

Right, and 2s currently has “some type of reward” yet people still don’t engage with it. Why do you think that is? You’re close here.

14

2s has the same rewards that all other forms also have but much less efficiency compared with other brackets.

2s is essentially redundant, and not because it unfun, but because there’s no point when you get the same rewards faster with RSS or 3s.

So then we need 2s only rewards if the mode is to have some purpose, same with rbgs

So why does it exist?

Notice how we circle back to the question of what the point of 2s is? Instead of offering a unique reward to a mode that no one would otherwise play, why not just delete the mode? Doesn’t it seem silly to entice players into playing a mode they don’t want to play with exclusive rewards?

Or we can just remove it if it serves no purpose without exclusive rewards. That’s what makes the most sense.

16

Because some players enjoy 2v2.

Then again some players enjoyed 5v5.

So I guess it’s up to blizz to decide what they think is worth keeping and improving and why.

How many? Why are we dangling rewards over 2s if some players already enjoy it as is?

Right, and they’ve shown their cards by fixing 3s deflation but not touching 2s really. Before adding rewards to 2s, you must first justify its existence at this point. You said yourself its a redundant mode and can only be artificially propped up with exclusive cosmetics.

18

Well it’s only justification is that some players enjoy it. But I think even those players probably choose not to do it for the redundancy.

So they’d essentially be pandering to them but also opening up more rewards to players who don’t usually engage in 2s as additional content because why not.

Same reason why RSS now has that pennant toy

19

you okay buddy?

they’d benefit so much from adding/moving rewards around

  • 1800 armor type elite sets (like BFA/SLS1 these would also be the only elite sets available in shuffle)

  • 1950 pennant

  • 2000 class specific elite sets (like we have now except only available in 2v2/3v3)

  • 2200 seasonal PvP enchant

  • 2400 elite + elite armor upgrade for recolors (like we have now except CLASS specific to encourage people to play alts)

  • 2400 + 50/100 wins gladiator (only 3v3) and a legend ground mount (only shuffle)

  • 2700 seasonal gladiator tabard (only 2v2 / 3v3)

  • 3000 seasonal gladiator cloak (would be cool if it looked like it took effort like the SL cloak slot items)

that would at the very least incentivize real arenas for more than just gladiator while offering rewards that i don’t think casuals would lose their minds over missing (tabard/cloak)

i think a seasonal hearthstone that made you glow with the same glow as the seasonal enchant would be really cool
or glyphs that change the colors of your spells tied to rating hurdles
neither of those would ever happen though :sob:
