There is almost no one playing this game. They need to nerf mages and locks. And give us solo queue so we don’t spend hours waiting for teammates.

This game is so horrible! Right now I’ve only found two extremely undergeared heals who have never played against rogue mage in 2s. Nothing for 3s. I’m running duel, disarm and war banner. Nothing can save these kids. And there are no people at 2k cr to group with. SO FRUSTRATING!
We should get our money back from our subscription. If you can’t play the game, we should not have to pay for it.
Or just give us solo pve arena 2s & 3s queues. Problem solved. No more waiting hours for teammates. No more having to carry undergeared players.
Solo queue will probably come next expansion, much to the trepidation of forum slimebrains that can’t theorycraft the difference between a ladder that incentivizes reactive play versus a ladder that incentivizes setup.
Might be RBGs only at first though, but I’m pretty sure we’re on the cusp of it with current population numbers.

Yea solo q just for you nobody else
I understand the frustration in seeking players now. With a large percentage of the population shifting over to Classic and the game just being horrible, it makes finding the right players very tough to push ratings. But honestly solo queue would just add more trouble to the game and might trigger you even more than now. The system would most probably support players that are looking for queues in general as opposed to players that are dedicatedly looking to push rating and finding ideal partners.

I used to be so against solo queue, but arena participation is just so damn dead now that honestly nothing Blizzard does can make it worse in my opinion. If I were them I would throw solo queue in there just to see if participation goes up, can’t make any more players quit as 99% of them are already gone

K so you want solo q where you possibly get queued with 2 of the worst possible specs in game, and vs a team on coms that’s the meta. Won’t make you toxic, won’t get aggravated with it, right?
Sorry but solo queue won’t work and if it did it would be because they separated the brackets making the game even more dead.
Don’t think that’s possible…what do they have to lose at this point? Arena is a laughing stock and no one cares about it anymore.
It is more possible. As dead as it seems it can get worse
Yeah I guess you’re right. Maybe they add it in a separate queue, like Rocket League? Standard 3v3 rated, 3v3 Skirmish, and solo queue 3v3 rated?
I don’t have the answer obviously, but what they are doing now isn’t working haha.
no need to add another horrendous bracket that people can get titles from based off of RNG and /played.
oh how wrong you are, and how disappointed you’d be if it was actually implemented… you’d be back here in a week complaining about getting 0 geared off meta specs on your team when god has granted the enemy team a full geared RMP/D / DK cleave.
soloq has been tested many times before on private servers and can be seen in skirmishes, it’s literally a coin toss every time you enter and continuing to add restrictions to it in order to prevent those situations will as usual kill the queues at high rating.
No it hasn’t, because a proper soloqueue requires MMR, and skirmishes do not feature MMR.
This same argument is used by people against soloQ RBGs, “that’s just random bgs!”, because apparently half of you don’t know what matchmaking is.

skirmishes, true to some extent but my point about it still stands.
soloq has been tested with functional MMR, with duo queue, with different metas, with restrictions (and so forth) on many servers and it’s always been the same results.
…largely positive feedback from the 6v6 rbg tournament and 6v6 bg events?
SoloQ has absolutely not been tested to its full potential, especially not on “private servers.”
SoloQ 6v6 rbgs is likely to be the first solo queue format to come to the game because it offers a mathematical formula for fast matchmaking;
a 6v6 queue offers the ability to queue solo, duo, or trio
1+1+1+1+1+1 vs 1+1+1+1+1+1
or
2+2+2 vs 2+2+2
or
1+2+3 vs 3+2+1
Your point doesn’t stand at all. You’re literally making up false claims to justify your position. There has been very little “testing” of SoloQ, private or public. The closest tangential topic that’s received any amount of coverage or testing is the 6v6 concept, and that again has only been rudimentary (in the form of a weekly brawl, or in the form of an RBG tournament with a restricted roster; not at all a test of a solo MMR system or a mixed queueing format)

Scabber is one of those people that I know is smarter than me and afraid to talk to.
6 hours ago Gwenchan queued into double destro rsham and lost.
The metric that they’re referring to is no doubt the Arena Tournament realm, I played there for awhile and the soloq was wonderful, but the reason it was so wonderful was because of the expansion. It was wrath, which in wrath you could make anything work. BfA isn’t like that which is why on its own soloq would flop right into the floor, you not only need a good system for it to work properly, but you also need a lot of balance and classes/specs viable. Otherwise it’s just a one-sided curb stomp every game.
