I pushed to legend in about a month this season never playing more than 3h a day due to kids, once you get above 2.3 the queues slow down to a crawl so I just queue up and clean something or play with the kids while waiting. If you're spending 40 min in queue just sitting there waiting I honestly think you're setting yourself up for failure and boredom, especially since you can start queueing tilted if you start losing.

This is the only Genre where a 20 minute plus wait between matches is considered acceptable, and only then because these low expectations are grandfathered in by players who never experienced anything better. If you play just 5 matches a day, and it's never longer than 20 minutes of waiting, that's 11 hours and 40 minutes a week standing there waiting on WoW's matchmaking system. That's a really hard sell in 2024. If there's two things WoW PVP needs it's decreasing wait times, and giving it as much attention as it's competition does. We're finally getting a new battleground... the last new one was in 2018... that was SIX YEARS ago.
@XtratwinkАй бұрын
You make it sound like the game/genre/system is at fault when in reality it's driven entirely by supply and demand. The fact is, if there were twice as many healers as there are now, queues would be way shorter for dps because the amount of healers exponentially increases the amount of games that dps players get to play. But most people who just queue into shuffle as dps and just want to zugzug have no interest in playing a healer themselves. If you think slow queues suck that's fair, but if you're also not willing to try out something new and play a healer then you are part of the problem. Every time you queue up and there's a 25 min wait, that wait is for an ongoing game to finish so that one of the healers will enter your queue. With that said, I completely agree that wow pvp is like a neglected step-child and blizzard could be doing more to increase participation and improve the experience.
@henrychurch6062Ай бұрын
@@Xtratwink Agreed. As the developers it's their job to fix problems, even if the problems are with things like participation they can add incentives in to improve that participation, or change things to make it more welcoming to those players. As an example look at Tanks in arena. There's no excuse for tanks to be so disincentivized to play by making them low DPS livelords that contribute so little. Other games don't have this problem though: As an example Warrior in FF14 is known for good CC (primal rend) and securing kills with movement reduction and repositioning (Blota) while applying debuffs that make enemies take extra damage (onslaught). That's great synergy and they are desired teammates. While in WoW tanks are just... hated. So why am I Talking about tanks? If a Warrior, DK, or DH is told they shouldn't come in as a tank, then all those tank mains are coming in as DPS, further flooding the queues. You can make the same argument for healers: There isn't an incentive to play them other than faster Queues, and apparently that's not a good enough inventive because it's not working.
@XtratwinkАй бұрын
@@henrychurch6062 I actually kind of disagree with your first point. I don't think tanks should even be eligible to queue into arena because the role just isn't suited to do well in that setting regardless of balance. Their damage and utility profiles don't work with pvp at all (unless they're broken and need to be fixed, like prot paladin in shadowlands which was a free glad spec but also busted AF in m+) and there is a reason why the only role in RBGs that tanks fill is being the FC and if you get a non-FC map the tank switches to dps. There is no class in wow that plays the same in pve as in pvp, and since a tank main will also mainly be a pve player, they will lack some understanding of how to deal with the vastly different situations that pvp entails. If tank mains rolling dps to flood queues was an issue then queue times would mostly be an issue where they add to or create the bottleneck (especially because a pve tank main who switches to dps will naturally have a lower rating ceiling than a dps main who may also be a pvp only player). Based on information from sites lite check-pvp or drustvar you can clearly see that there's a bajillion more players below 1800cr than above 2k cr, but the queue issues exist at every bracket. I think I've actually consistently had some of my fastest queues between 1400-1800 even on alts with fresh mmr. I've played a fresh char this past month up to 2.6+ and I've gotten way longer queues above 2.2 than below 2k. They added extra drops for healers but I agree that it's barely an incentive at all since honor and conquest have no value before the conquest cap is added *and* after you're fully geared, which ends up being almost the entire season. I think what's missing are broader pvp rewards, like a glad mount recolor for the legend achievement or even role-specific cosmetics.

But when i play as a dps to change it up you are waiting like 30-40 mins in solo que. Yeah you can try to find groups in LFG but that is even harder if you don’t have the experience or need practice. Waiting that long isn’t worth it when games last maybe 3-4 mins a shuffle. The que times are longer than the games themselves.

I did my first push this season and I think whether it's hard or easy is just a reflection of how much you're learning and adapting as you climb. There is a big difference between 1700-1800 players and 2100 players, and then there's an even bigger difference between 2100 players and 2400+ players. Most people around 2.1 will have some knowledge about matchups and different classes and are somewhat adaptable, but still don't understand swaps and why/when to swap or tunneling into defensives and when/why not to. Above 2400 you'll be hard pressed to find people who don't understand and utilize these concepts and it can be daunting to move up to a bracket where suddenly everyone seems to play much better. And that's kind of the core of arena that has always existed, you need to be able to learn from the experience you accumulate, adapt to new situations and develop over time as you climb the ladder. Shuffle is worse is that sense for casual players because there's more zugzug than in 2s or 3s and it will be harder to learn established arena strategies (that experienced people can effortlessly carry over from 2s/3s to shuffle). I will say though, it's really refreshing how few lobbies you tank hard due to multiglad/r1 smurfs vs 2s/3s because even if they exist, odds are you will at least win the rounds you play with them as opposed to arena where you just die.

The truth is; Any player has always been able to get a high rating. With the right mechanics, good keybindings and macros, and understanding tactics and having a good understanding of your team dynamics, you can push 2k+ with any class or team combo. It's not about win loss, either. It's just about getting enough wins, often enough, consistently enough. Everyone has to lose to learn how to win, most people get so demotivated so quickly or angry when they lose, they refuse to see learning moments where they should be adapting. Every version of WoW, from classic to retail and everything inbetween is constantly changing as people change, we can't stagnate in how we understand our classes or anyone elses understandings of them.

I know it's meant to motivate people but at the same time I think it hurts the community if high players always downplay moderately high ratings. Got it myself and yes it currently feels easier in comparison but it's still only achieved by the top 11,5% of the shuffle players only including those above 1k rating. That's far from average so people shouldn't feel bad if they can't manage to get duelist but that's exactly what these statements do.

To get to 2100 you need to sweat plenty that's all. It's just a question if you are willing to put the time into that or not.

I think this article is an example of the dunning-kreuger effect. Maybe not in it's most common usage. The original study showed that people who performed above average also assume their performance is around average. He's played since vanilla and is capable of writing a coherent post about WoW pvp. Those are both outliers that that probably don't fit the average players capability. It's still probably true that most people are capable of getting duelist though, of course. It's just interesting that everyone assumes they are average. That also says nothing of people with well below average capabilities. "Anyone" is probably a stretch.

I left the game like 5 months ago, I got bored of facing bots and carries, this reddit post is kinda good and I do use a MMO Mouse, I use a Naga 2012 and it works great, helped me to improve, Im was a casual player, but facing bots, scripters and carries that killed me, frustrates me, my rl arena partners quit pvping because of the carries, if they don't fix it we are not coming back at all.

I use an MMO mouse but I do not like the ergonomics and tbh the razer naga buttons are too small and hard to feel tactilely compared to my old cheap MMO mouse off Amazon. With that said I was considering after watching this to map the two side buttons on my Logitech mouse I use for fps to control and alt for modifiers. This would mean i would be hitting all the same finger patterns on with my kb hand and modifying with the two side mouse buttons. Anyone else try this?

Solo shuffle rating value is 70% worth 2v2 rating and 3v3. If you’re hitting 2100 in solo shuffle while trying your hardest you are most likely a 1800 rated player in 2v2 and 3v3

Can anyone tell me.. I quit prior to Shadowlands, thinking about pre-ordering TWW, and I hear it allows you access to Dragonflight, and a free 70. I am strictly a PVPER. Would I be able to jump into PVP, and just have fun? Or do I need PVE stuff? I realize I'd have to farm honor/conquest for gear. Also is leveling through PVP still a thing? I really just want to PVP xD Thanks guys!
@KiRa-fy6uqАй бұрын

@gryzorАй бұрын
No need to PvE.Just know that leveling through PvP alone is (or has been to me when I did it) a lot slower that just "doing" the main campaign (just following the 'important quests') and queuing for Random Dungeons, than just queuing for Random BGs (as the q. times are longer). Depending on the quests, they tend to be "hero who has killed the Lich King and many other incredibly powerful bosses in the past, and even worn legendary weapons, please collect 5 seeds and deliver them here, and then help me make a soup by placing the correct ingredients when I tell you". And a lot of (skippable if you don't care) cinematics in between. So, still a pain, but a shorter pain if you don't care about it. In contrast, if you do level up only through PvP, you already train your brain to PvP from day one (and then you enter a Dungeon or Raid and use Chains of Ice on the first pull :D)

That's not an arena problem though, that's a game problem. What m+ dungeon are you going to do that takes less than 30 min? What raid are you clearing that takes less than 30 min? Really, what endgame activity can you do with so little time that will feel rewarding and meaningful? It sounds like you're not prioritizing playing, in which case it's unrealistic to expect that you can reach something meaningful.

I play with clean ui , just need to learn to look with range and not pinpoint view. I found the clutter of all the addons created more confusion. I do enjoy WA but it’s not necessary for 2100. Keybinds are a must, mmo mouse is nice (moba mouse superior) , and not focusing on cd timers. What I mean by that is if it’s a 45 second cd don’t watch it just keep an internal count and spot it around 10 seconds and pre plan your move. Cc is paramount. If heals is on dr then slap that cc on the non kill target to max. With respect to windows of kills. I don’t know I probably could be glad with practice, but the skill curve with all the addons and focus keys just get me sloppy. I’d like to thank D2 for training me to be the fastest clicks.

Yeah but... once you learn things from a guide or experience that get you to a rating that is above average, you are no longer an average player. So the logic is just invalid from the start. It should say something like "anyone can get to 2100 with this guide and practice."
