I can confidently say that if solo q was a thing it would be the single hardest way to perform a boost for someone and would probably cost twice as much currency as the types of boosts you see now.
On top of possibly getting unlucky with bad teammates, boosters would have no way to artifically increase someones mmr (by playing with two other 3k mmr players), so youd have to play at LEAST 2-3x as many games to get someone to their desired rating.
You can just go to Bastion for that
Solo qâs pretty chaotic. But blizzards excuse for it not existing is pretty lame.
I really like the idea of Solo Q for RBGs. Since I think Soloq works best with objective-oriented stuff anyway. Could finally have them introduce 6v6 rbg like this as well or w/e.
For arena it would be understandably much more chaotic. You would get lots of really unique comps, more often than youâd see something properly viable. Like double hunter or something. But I mean, at this point, whereâs the harm?
I mean most 3v3 boosts are two boosters, often in voice with the boostee, piloting his character. I doubt even a rank 1 would have consistent success no voicing in essentially an auto accept LFG with inexperienced healers or dps partners since he would have no way of telling them what button to press. Yeah thereâs always game chat but how often do ppl in every solo Q game just turn their mics off? I play some apex legends from time to time and Iâd say 9 out of 10 players default have their mic off and their team mates muted from the start
Yup this. The people who wants Solo Rated Queue just wants to be able to play the game. Boosting and carrying is another issue altogether and probably not even related.
fair enough
Tired of sitting in LFG for 1 hour just to have 1 game and disband
I never understood why they did this⌠/sigh
The hope of soloq is literally the only thing keeping me subscribed.
I hope they will be clear sometime soon and say straight whether or not soloq is implemented. If yes- I sub for 6 months straight, if not, I just unsub.
The funniest thing is when I see people asking- what about mmo aspect or comp aspect of pvp- I literally grab WHOEVER applies to my group at similar ilvl and cr. If I was to be picky Iâd not find people to play at allâŚ
You realize if you get caught for piloting itâs a hardware ID ban right? Both the person piloting and the account that was being piloted get an 18month ban for first offense and perma for second. Itâs taken more seriously than botting.
Wouldnât it be easier to unsub until soloq is announced since thereâs no guarantee of it? If all youâre waiting for is soloq
You should probably unsub then.
At minimum, the LFG tool needs an overhaul. WoW PvP relies quite heavily on third party developers or websites. I shouldnât need another website to see your CR, that should be just a base item like your ilvl. Current Spec should be in there too, and I should be able to select preferred specs so it makes those specs more easily find me.
Lastly, balance specs more often and communicate. PvP could be amazing in this game if they actually prioritized it.
I think you completely miss how protected from boosting/carries solo-queue rated PVP would be. In fact, solo-queue, when implemented, will probably be the best indication of individual player skill in PVP, because it will be significantly more difficult for your character to be carried, especially compared to how it is today.
The only feasible method would be for you to give your account info to someone else and have that person play your character. That would also be the riskiest for an individual to do, as it risks their account, and is the most detectable by Blizzard (because of potential IP address tracking). Furthermore, even if you were to have someone play your account, think about the difficult uphill battle for the carrier: theyâre playing at a gear disadvantage (they donât have the advantage of gear that they likely have on their main), they can no longer coordinate with other glad-level players (and with the gear those players have) to play along with, and theyâll have a harder time âcoachingâ all the random partners they get. Will it be possible for them to climb your character up? Sure, but itâs much more difficult than todayâs system, and will not be worth the trouble when there are group-queue brackets in place where itâs trivial for high-skilled players to boost, and especially so by the way you describe above.
Itâs interesting because solo-queue PVP will be the purest indication of player skill and the most protected bracket against carries, and yet you say the opposite as the headliner. Nonsensical.
Its better than the current system in every shape way and form if u dont like it you do no have to use it.
