Blizzard if youre reading this, which you probably aren’t cause this is the arena forums 
, I think scaling is fine and should be left in the game.
Without scaling, casuals would have a pretty rough time in pvp and would probably get one shotted. At least with scaling, they have some kind of a fighting chance. Thanks!

There are a lot of inherent math issues with the scaling that are easy to exploit. The better option is providing a more streamlined (and VIABLE) gearing process like we had for 6 expansions. The problem is PVP gearing in Legion and BFA required such a huge time investment that they had to throw in PVP scaling to compensate.
PVP scaling exists because PVP gearing is horrendous.
Scaling is fine, it’s just that the current system is highly exploitable because there is some weird math and inverse stuff behind it.
I would gladly take the WoD scaling system back any day.
Unless they want a “Rextroy or X player has discovered blah blah blah can be done to increase damage done/decrease damage taken in rated PVP” every week they need to replace this system.
I thought the PVP gear ilevel bump for WoD worked well 90% of the time. Your gear would jump up 15 ilevels when in PVP combat, so the PVP gear was meh for PVE but was better than PVE gear when in PVP. It made sense.
It was jarring for WPVP but it was dependable for instanced PVP combat.
Actually, there was no pvp gearing in Legion because of templates. It was quite nice cause I could play any of my alts and not worry about them having gear whatsoever.
Bottom line, blizzard needs to bring back templates or bring back vendors. One or the other is fine with me.
The vendors are coming back in SL but there are a lot of issues with them. They don’t provide the right stats and the gear is worse than PVE gear, so the PVE time investment is still a huge requirement to be competitive in PVP.
They could fix the vendor issue by making the PVP gear noticably more powerful than PVE gear while in PVP (like WoD), and/or provide the right stats needed.
Also you’ll still need to do Heroic/Mythic Raids to get the best trinkets, which again, is counter to what a PVPer should be required to do when wanting to gear to be competitive in PVP.
As someone who is lazy and has no plans to socket gear, I think people who do so should have an advantage over me. I think its dumb that I had a clear and distinct advantage over people who put time into socketing gear because of how scaling affected gear.
Now that there is a vendor again they could just make the gear actually BiS in PVP with things like set bonuses, just tune damage in PVP like they usually do and not have the existing scaling system (or replace it with something less ‘magic’).
My suspicion as to why this won’t happen is because they want to boost PVE participation. I’m sure in WoD or Legion they noticed PVPers weren’t doing PVE content, so someone brought it up in a meeting and they decided they want to nudge PVPers toward doing the raids and other PVE stuff by basically making it required to get performance out of your character.
I really want to see a Dozer emoji vs Abomb # war where they both speak nonsense and still assume they are right.
Reading that would take my room temp iq to around 0.
It does amaze me though how Big Doze sounds like a normal person on his yt but he chooses to rp as a dum dum on here.
Blizzard is boy.
Hi dozer, at ilvl 415 how much can I take advantage of ilvl scaling plus late season inflation? Think I can hit glad?
there was still a 10% difference of having good gear or not.
well it’s less of a difference it is right now for sure but the difference was still noticeable.
