Feel like it would only work at super low ratings. Just make them pretty simple like, if player get to x% press button. And give them all adap so they don’t have to worry about figuring out trinketing. Could be a good idea just so lower rated players can get instant q’s. Since I feel like improving the ability for lower rated players to actually play the game is generally an overall good thing. They should only exist at whatever start mmr is based on inflation and lower. So at the very least players who are qing shuffle for the first time can get instant pops. I feel like it’s super detrimental having someone q shuffle for the first time and being forced to wait 30+ minutes “sometimes longer because I swear the first game on a character takes way longer to pop”.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think most pvpers want this, and especially not for a ranked mode.
E.g., for me personally, I’d hard stop queueing shuffle altogether. There is just no satisfaction to be had from winning or losing against npcs pvp-wise.
Tbh it wouldn’t even be real pvp anymore (imo), basically just a pvp-delve.
For the sake of argument that a decent amount of players want (or at least think they want) this, the complaints will just shift or perhaps even increase [e.g., the AI healer spec given was the worst as far as complimenting my spec, the AI is too good or sucks relative to the rating I’m at, x/y/z specs have better synergies with the AI bots, this particular AI healer is overpowered which sucks because it’s the spec that counters me the most, etc.].
Ngl kinda blows my mind that any pvp-enjoyer would find this “fun”.
Having said all that, I agree dps queue times are 100% still an issue and that healer balance could be much better. I just don’t think AI healers would be a solution for anything arena related.

I played against some of those ai healers last season, or df s4 if i remember…
Most hilarious thing was the bot getting stuck behind the wall in black rook hold.
But otherwise facing it was easy as you could just line the bot.

No, what would make the game better. Is for those of us who dont want to play a 6 round shuffle style game, make the 3v3 ladder queable as any size. Make it similar to skirmish, but ranked.

This is a terrible idea. If you want to do well you best be ready to sweat that’s kind of what that means.
I think we just need better healer only rewards. Mounts, titles, transmogs, etc.

People don’t want AI healers, they want faster Qs and think AI healers will solve the problem. It wont.

Admittedly if AI healers came around I probably would try arenas as a dps for the first time in a long while.
Horrible idea IMO. But maybe they could come with an all BoT mode to use while waiting for queue to pop.

hell yes. farm me in full voice my pre-made, perfect comp overlords. i’m sure healers would love to queue for this horrific experience.
You could copy paste this into 90% of the threads here and it would make sense.
Side note: still chuckle whenever someone crashes and burns and starts adding “nobody cares about 3s” to all of their posts.

The rogue bots in brawl are getting pretty decent at spinning flag. Healers kits are barebones. Can’t be that hard. Melee players would flip a gasket because they aren’t teleporting behind pillars across the map with them I’m sure though.
But it’s more fun for people to heal the same handful of meta specs that are good in deep damp (the same as 2’s) every single season over and over again? Considering shuffle participation is 1/10th of what it was since DF. Clearly not. (and no, it was not just the first season drop off. It’s been gradually going lower every season. Maybe it’s somewhat plateaued off now but it was a slow grind down.)
28,000 shuffle rounds vs 2700 3v3 games played (majority of them by the same handful of players who are on 12 hours a day)
despite instant que vs 30 min que
It’s not even a debate. You are delusional.
People always cry about that, but it really doesn’t matter that much. If you are good enough to be x rating qing with this system, you aren’t at some disadvantage to the players qing at the same rating with voice and their team.

Yes you are and always will be. A comp advantage will almost always win out unless you also get lucky with a randomly placed good comp.
No not really, that’s been proven with shuffle. You don’t just auto win for having an S tier comp. I q yolo no voice F tier comps all the time and farm S tier comps all the time. The only people who think it matters a ton are just bad players who need an excuse for losing.
No one is in voice comms in shuffle and they definitely don’t coordinate as much a 3 friends in a 3s game.
