Have you tried using chat? I’ve seen a lot of “204 Fire Mage LF yolo 3s” in chat that end up grouping up and going a few rounds. Give that a shot perhaps?
Until you get double healers/tanks, or the n00b who’s stepping into PvP for their first time, or the PvE centric player that doesn’t understand basic PvP protocols, amongst a million other reasons.
Then everyone is going to be bashing on Blizzard for them being in bad groups and how they need to change the system again to fit “their” needs.
There’s a reason why Blizzard leaves certain aspects of the game up to players. It’s like m+, you can’t complain to Blizzard when someone leaves your key, because you’re the one who invited them. You made the group. Not Blizzard. Same thing applies to this. There’s comps that exist because they work. Every now and then you get the yolo groups that are able to pull it off. But not every time.
3s is balanced around having a healer in the party…imagine the outcry of DPS having to wait an hour to get into a 3s group because there’s not enough healers going around (doesn’t that sound familiar with another queuing system already in place?)
I’m not saying anything about OP or other people who would like the option for a solo queue… but people like you are honestly the reason people are deterred from the “social” aspect of any online game.
No need to be so hostile towards something that has minimal effect on you, if any at all. Grow up.

I play fire when I play my mage I main an Ele shaman with much better gear. Good job
I really don’t get the Skirmish comparison to an actual solo rated queue. Skirmish has absolutely zero matchmaking. It doesn’t take into account your iLvl, CR or MMR, it just throws you in a game as fast as possible. A proper solo queue for arena would have CR and MMR like 2v2 and 3v3 do, so you’ll actually get matched up with similar geared/skilled opponents.
As someone who just started PVP a few months ago, I’d love a solo queue option. WoW is the only game I’ve played that requires you to create a group before you get to play a game. Literally every other competitive game out there has some sort of matchmaking.

I DO NOT care about what company I get into. The fact is if I get paired with some weird comp against RMP at 1400 rating who’s really at a disadvantage? The meta comps that is 1400 or the randoms? Obviously the randoms are much more skilled. And I’d rather get queued with wack comps then not play the game. It also give people the opportunity to play with different comps that aren’t meta. That’s fun. The argument is… we won’t like it because of random comps?? How about I hate the game now because I literally cannot play it
Don’t project your elitist views onto me, ever again. I literally don’t care about this and neither would most people. A queue is queue. And that’s the magic of random queues.
Don’t like being queued with non-meta people? Groups are there buddy, as i’ve said before. You literally are unaffected by any of this lol. Quit being bitter over things that don’t affect you. Grow up. And dont assume everybody thinks like you ever again. I’m a very generous and accepting person. I already accept ‘‘off meta’’ people on my dungeons a lot and it goes very well, i don’t judge people on what they play, jerk.
And realistically, it wouldn’t be as bad as you think(you get mad over the slightest of errors, so i cant take your word 100%, youre too full of yourself) since such teamups would also appear in the enemy team.
What’s what quote again? ‘Make your own groups’ or Join groups. Isn’t that, why that’s for? 
You’re just talking nonsense now buddy.
The only people that will be complaining is elitists(you) who are upset at the idea of people being able to more easily access content that elitists(you) gatekeep them from. Which in no way affects elitists(you). You elitists are not being ‘constructive’ your being spiteful, you’re not ever giving any compelling arguments. Know the difference.
Mythic Dungeons and PvP are two completely different things i’m not talking about Mythic.
And what i said about people leaving my groups wasn’t me getting mad at them or at blizzard, by all means people have the right to leave if they don’t like playing with x person. I only brought that up, because that’s the experience i get most of the time and countless others, and it makes it hard for me to do rated PvP content, Solo Queing would ease things and make it faster, more smoother. In essence, it’s kind of the same as join group then leave unless the two choose to queue together and well, make friends!
And Yolo groups tend to not accept from time to time, nor it should be a thing when something as easy as rated solo matchmaking can be a thing.
Groups, buddy, or the friends that you have. You’re complaining over things that don’t affect you. And you’re exaggerating, realistically more like 3-5 min max.

Dude. You can queue up for skirmishes and “just play”. Just like random BGs.
The issue has been fixed.
Arena Skirms don’t give the same reward as rated. Stop trying to change the narrative.

The OP never even said they wanted rated. They said they just want to play. They don’t wanna wait on making a group, but just have a queue. Theres literally a system for that.
I dont go into random BGs and expect it to be on the same level as rated BGs, just like I dont go into LFR expecting it drop heroic level gear or the same achievements.

Skirmishes don’t provide the rewards, that’s why almost no one bothers with them. Skirmish is purely there for fun, messing around, etc.
Pretty sure most solo-queue advocates are specifically referring to some form of a rated solo-queue when you actually listen to their podcasts/read their posts/etc.
Yes, “solo-queue” skirmishes are already in the game… and no one cares about them.

This should apply to M+ as well.
really? half the community huh
I think you are exaggerating a wee bit.
The OP never even said anything about wanting rewards in their original post. They just dont want to sit there waiting to play and only get one game per day.
Theres a solution for that.
The OP has later clarified that he wants to progress his character, which you can’t do thru unrated/casual Skirmishes 
See here:
So, casual Skirmishes are not a solution for that.

Wow, you got triggered. I understand narcissistic people think everything is about them, but none of this was directed at you
you tell me not to project views (far from elitist, but okay), and then claim to speak for “most people”. Oofta.
I never mentioned anything about Meta. Seems you’re the one projecting. And you’re not affected either. There’s nothing stopping you from joining a group or making your own. Like the way it’s been working for years?
Never said anyone. Never even put a numerical value to it. Just said “people”. And there’s people in this thread that share the same view as I’ve pointed out, so I’m not wrong.
And again, where/how am I judging anyone on what they play?
Haha this is cute. I’d like you to find any quote of mine that proves this even the slightest bit 
don’t worry, I’ll wait.
No one gate keeps anyone. And everyone has the same access to content as everyone else.
Never said they were the same. Just mentioned the way that blizzard leaves it up to the player base to mold their own groups as being similar between them. Not sure how you got confused on that.
I didn’t say anything in regards to your groups or people leaving or anything of that sort. I don’t even know if you did say anything along those lines even lol
As is with everything. Even in the LFD system, people can deny joining the group, which is essentially the same as denying your group because it puts you back into a queue. It’s just how it work, whether it be personally or through a system.
Umm…there’s been countless posts over the years about DPS queues taking upwards of 20-30-45 minutes because there’s not enough tanks and healers in the queue at the time to put groups together.
Same thing would happen here, assuming Blizzard sticks with the way they intended 3s play to work (that being a healer is part of the group). Although that’s not always the case , there’s plenty of 3s groups that are strictly DPS based.
But as a queuing system, I’m sure they’d add a healer into the groups. And that alone would push queue times for DPS through the roof (at least well beyond the 3-5 minute mark)
Why is the main argument oh it doesn’t affect you so you therefore should not have an opinion on it. Why should people who can’t even put forth a little effort to gearing and research be accomadated. Why should blizzard waste a single minute of development on people like you. People have pointed out your gear your legendary and I’m sure talents and you don’t want to hear it. Daddy blizz come hand me everything I want because I pay a sub fee I think I’m entitled to it.
I enjoy that line of thinking as the basis for their arguments because I have access to those solo-ques and am able to join in on it, and therefor it does affect me
It’s ‘Introverted people’. 
Or ‘asocial’.
(Asocial behavior is observed in people with social anxiety disorder.)
