A simple dps vs dps format 1v1 arena.
While yes it would technically divide the pvp playerbase slightly more, correct me if I’m wrong but it would also make solo shuffle queues shorter with there being less dps in queue for it meaning more healers per capita.
Pvp is already going down the drain might as well give it a try?
Understatement of the year.
they did that with dueler guild in bfa. it was a failure.
I don’t feel like making a Rogue.
the game is a scissors paper rock anyways, rogue will get countered by some stuff
No one can resist a 1v1 rogue, forget it.
add a [Blacklist 1 Spec] problem fixed
Same spec/class dueling bracket would be alright.
Doesn’t your own comment here tell you why this isn’t a good idea?
You either balance for 1v1 (terrible idea) or you have rocks queuing into paper and scissors… Or worse, rocks queuing into rocks.
not at all lol. the duelers guild was literally just /duel’s in mugambala or hook point.
there was no rating, no instancing, no resetting of cds, all world buffs/cheese was allowed in it.
a non-rated 1v1ing that you could queue into while waiting in LFG or queue would be fun imo, but if it was rated it would just be sub rogue.
maybe survival hunter, but i dont even know with the crit changes how much it matters. sub rogue should have a positive win rate against every spec in the entire game. it would be broken
unrated 1v1 or just /duels that reset cd’s and put you back at full health after each would be fun though.
It could work if it was only same spec vs same spec. It would be out-of-the-box balanced, though they’d have to do something for rogue v rogue and druid v druid.
Likely allow them to stealth, but also have it be like, not stealthed (so they are visible and targetable, but still in “stealth”, idk).
Categorically false.
in an attempt for players to get some ego back we are now asking for arena ai
where we always win
Viable only if its mirror matches only.
cue pokemon theme song
this is a worse idea than 2v2 double dps solo shuffle, and that idea was already bad.
1v1 is the most unbalanced bracket at all - everyone would q as feral druid and rogue
why does everything think it needs to be perfectly balanced? 3v3/ss is far from balanced why would 1v1 be any different, even remove the rated aspect from it i dont care
hmm. something tells me the OG elites wont be very happy to see some1 recommend a 1v1
they will scream and shout " BUT ITS NOT BALANCED AROUND 1v1!!!"
as if… this game is balanced around anything at all.
the AWC tournaments are pretty cut and dry pretty much the same 5 specs in the tourney with a few outliers
Yeah this is actually a good idea. 1v1 arena vs comp stomp characters would revitalize PvP.
