What is LTR you ask? “Learning To Raid”
It could be a solo scenario queue, that goes over step by step instructions of a boss and it’s mechanics. It would be similar to proving grounds as in you’d be put in with NPC’s to act as a “raid team”.
It could have popup notifications that you have to “complete” like if you’re a DPS step 1 obviously to damage boss, then it could be like “soak a puddle” or “line of sight” or “dodge fire” basically teaches you how to do the boss mechanics.
As a tank, you’d learn when to taunt and what to look for. Or any other mechanic you’d have to do as a tank. Maybe a “pop a defensive” for a certain mechanic etc
Healer - you’d have to keep people alive, learn to dispell X debuff etc
If LFR was changed to LTR, it could actually teach people what they need to know to get into Normal + raiding
It would also teach people without wasting anyone elses time as it’d be a solo queue
Players would not have to wait in queue, it would pop instantly because they’d be solo in this scenario
Players also couldn’t just AFK it or purposely die, or it would fail. They would actually be required to do the mechanics in a sort of “dance like” fashion, preform their role(to a lesser degree, not like Mage Tower. Much more friendly so a less damage/healing requirement, not hitting tanks too hard etc).
I think if they could pull off something like this, it would be amazing.
