Why does the WoW community constantly think more people means faster queues?
Do you not understand the premise of a queue?
With that said the longest queue I’ve had is like 12 minutes lol.
Duo queue is dumb though. SOLO QUEUE means SOLO! So many games allow it and I don’t know why.
Yes. Games where 1 team has 0 HKs used to be extremely rare and now it’s rather common
Increase the BG size but keep it at 2 healers. More dps can get in = shorter queue.
I always queue on my healers and have yet to see a BG without two healers on each team.
Just had a feral druid FC give up after the other team got 1 flag cap. Literally typed in chat “screw this Im not FC anymore” and just afk’d in our base. That’s part of the reason people are done with this game mode. Forget DCs giving people -200 rating, these people should get the rating loss.
I believe its a figure of speech saying that one team has ‘good healers that heal’ and the other has healers that let everyone experience a GY Simulator
The Hunt for the secret fel cycle mount, endlessly searching boring content for clues on the secrets discord, the boredom and frustration is unreal… And its still more fun than BG Blitz atm lol.
And we wonder why participation is low lol.
Usually on week days I am hit with 35+ min que times, that’s definitely not ideal for someone who has Only and 1 and 30mins to play before I gotta pack my things for work tomorrow. The MMR system is soo bad that when they allowed us to view our personal MMR I was somehow at 1896 CR playing at 1600 mmr, everytime I won I gained no rating and if I lost I was hit with -19 rating.
Since then I’ve swapped to my elemental and made it to 2100 rating so I’ve given up on pvp for the season, I am very happy blizz made it easier to achieve the illusion and elite weapons, hopefully this stays a permanent thing.
Players know that its mostly 3rd party websites forming queue sync premades, farming the players for that cash selling ratings. Players know its rigged, so they stop playing…
Another DEAD pvp season, again.
I love Blizzards GY simulator. I could die in the next minute and I would be prepared for the… joys of a grey screen for 29 seconds…and if you want to try an early rez here is a 50 second timer…just so the horde has enough opportunity to cap that 10 second GY flag lol.
I lost rank for playing the objectives.
Why would I bother with this mode if I am penalised for trying to contribute to a win?
i still queue up every day. Might be rogue one hour, might be shaman the next. I just play to play. I prefer it to random BGS because potions/toys are disabled, and people have to be at least honor geared to queue up. Randoms will have fresh 80s with ilvl 300 leveling gear in them. They are not fun at all (in a solo queue format).
I get this. It works the other way around as well.
For example, I once won four games in a row by doing next to nothing but sitting nodes. Personal skill just doesn’t matter that much in this bracket.
Not sure what attributes are used by Blizz to balance both sides, but healers vs none suggests some flaw in the design, unless Blizz considered the team without any healers has far higher dps capability? Anyway, and maybe a little off-topic, perhaps borrow design elements from Fortnite where everyone are placed into the same lobby/pool at first, once all seats are filled, door to exit is locked and then split the pool ‘equally’ into two sides for the match to kick off? This would be my preferred approach for Cross Faction games.
these games have been more and more one sided of late. It really is miserable getting stuck in a losing streak where teams just won’t focus target down enemies, refuse to play objectives, etc. I can heal a team all day but if no one can cap the node or kill the enemy healer or EFC there’s just no point.
Weird how soo many low rated games have perfect cc chains and interrupts lol.
World of BOTcraft.
Bad MMR, Bad CR for winning 1k above your CR, bad RNG, bad premade vs not premade.
LOL nice name Hocus
I surrender. Playing SWtoR for the next big update.
Just had a kotmogu where the opposing team had 100% ranged DPS. Like matchmaking in this game is such trash it’s unbelievable.
