“You don’t need addons to play the game”
Well you don’t need shoes to run, but it sure does fucking help.
it's more like, you don't need feet to run.
@@Gronmin Exactly
@@Kanoog just need to get some of those running blades, and master that, and spend time constantly keeping up with the newest tech and mastering that. Or you'll fall behind on last years model lol
Dont forget the "I run mythic+, raids and pvp without addons" like ok? lmao
The thing with addons is they have gotten waaaay out of control. All the weak auras, horns, and shit blairing in ur ear to tell you how to use your abilities is just ridiculous. U can put a blind fold on and play the game...
Thanks for watching the vid! I appreciated hearing your perspective on my opinions!
You have good takes and you presented them really clearly.
@@Torresgamingchannel thanks man! I appreciate that.
@erradicgaming just because u want something or working hard for something dosnt mean ur good enough to get it bro
@@EmilJ1998 Genius deduction
@@EmilJ1998bro brilliant take bro. Definitely write a book about your deep insight
Bro, I’m absolutely this guy… I literally played against Joefernandes on his Awar, with a multiglad priest at 2k, lost and got duked on during his stream because i “tryharded too much”. This is my experience with my favorite game mode since 15years… all for never being able to get that sweet glad mount that i want, and tryhard for since i’m 10… During prime wow, 2400 was never the peak human performance, awc players ALWAYS was 2k8 to 3k range, why the fuck do i have them ON THEIR MAIN in my games multiple of time during a season it’s insane…
WoW PvP community unsuprisingly awful as awlays.
The amount of Glad mounts in 1900 shuffle at end of season was mind boggling.
Then you get Pikaboo farming 1800 content on his channel 😂
Because there's only 400 people queueing during peak hour because pvp in this game is so bad.
Yeah it's cause as you get higher less people q as the average player is like 1000-1700ish
Win 1, gain 16
Lose 1, lose 50
MMR sucks. Time wasting simulator
wlel, if u have 2 "friends" at 2400 cr and u are 0cr/2kcr, u can win 1 and get 60 and lose 10 and lose 0
except thats never how at works unless ur literally the top team on the ladder. a 2200 team would have equal gains for both in 99% of games
@@Sumoboi1 It is actually
@@Sumoboi1 You either don't play enough or are a troll I can't tell.
Dont forget go 4-2 in a shuffle gain 1 raiting. go 3-3 in a shuffle lose 46 rating
even the devs don't care for pvp, pvp in wow is for small circle of players who know each others and play with each others. As a new player with no friends in that circle it is basically impossible to reach glad
this one hits hard. 100% the truth. ultimately, till just get new players to quit after becoming hardstuck and unable to climb.
Also you can only get in 3v3. Why? Why not obtainable in SOLO shuffle? you can alter the achi / needed rating, but give other ppl a chance....
Yes, i get to play 2v2 with a friend. The rest is just impossible to make any progress in.
Are you eu? Can you listen? If so your welcome to rbg
Absolutely truthful statement. 100%.
Ban addons, remove non-target interactions, reduce the impact of CDs. It's a Mmorpg not a wackamole in excel
this ^ they do that, and suddenly rated pvp is 10x better for non 1% players
I liked the game way more without focus and arena1,2,3, because targeting was a skill and you could see what your enemy is doing. We're at a point, where we look more on numbers and addons than the actual game, which is a bad design.
Plus Its impossible to cast shit, people have their macros locked and loaded with their billion addons baby feeding them information on how to play the damn game.
yeah and thats so easy to ban those macros for devs team and addons would become less helpful cause even with red fucking alert people would still need to react and not just press binded kick or stun
I'm this guy but i can't be bothered pushing higher. Its just not worth the hassle, time, toxicity, etc. It's just not justifiable. Finding 2 other non toxic players that want to game without leaving after 1 loss is near impossible these days.
The top 1% of players calling themselves 'average' and Blizzard believing them when they do is what's wrong with WoW.. The ENTIRE game from the ground up is absolutely ridiculously complex in SO MANY boring and needless ways..
Whatever tho.. the community is so full of gatekeeping idiots who circle jerk on Reddit that it isn't even worth trying anymore to get through to them
We are the proletariat of WoW
I recently came back after 10 years to wow and would keep playing PVP if they would remove addons.
Its a hassle for a new player & I am not even new, I used addons back in the day.
Think about it:
If you join pvp today and play it a couple times, its entirely possible you dont even know about addons OR their importance.
Then you just leave because you think you suck and that means no new players.
Also screws up the UI and makes the game horrible to watch.
Blizz should implement a simple CD tracker and that's it.
Same chances for everyone.
Highly agree with this.
You thinking that Duelist is average, is most of the problem with PvP
"You can play whatever you want." Has never been true in competitive pvp.
I ended season 1 at 2150 or something close to it. I just resubbed, and after gearing in the honor gear we decided to queue 3s. My FIRST GAME at 0cr was against smexxin and vanguard... so i felt that mmr rant 😅
rip❤😂
You're a liar. Mmr didn't reset at all. Quit lying about the game.
@prod7906 that's kind of the point of my comment... wipe the cummies from your eyes and read again. Maybe practice reading comprehension.
@@prod7906and what makes him a liar then ?
He never said mmr was reset
@prod7906
Spotting your mentally ill drivel is just a hobby at this point
at 1800 I'm always going against grads, rolling in on a glad mount and just countering everything perfectly. When we play against real 1800 it's always so much more fun
That's why I miss BC / Wrath, when you hit a rating of 1850, 2150, 2400 everybody in those brackets felt like they should be in those brackets and a fresh 1500 team felt like a fresh team. Now it's ALL over the place, I would play a game at 1800 and do really well for a win. Next game it's like instant loss and I would get pulled from stealth as a Druid during the opener from across the room. Botting is a bitch.
lol more fun because? Why? You can rofl stomp then instead of getting rofl stomped? You can learn playing against glads
@@Johnny-yx2qx its more fun to play against people with equal skill then against people who has played this game for 15 fucking years. U cant learn shit being punching bag
No one should have addons that track opponent CDs. It's that simple. It turns the game into timer simulator, takes the luck and fun out of it.
@@bmw9616there’s little to no luck involved. you don’t need the addons to track cds. I have one but I rarely look at it. You can see when a priest uses guardian spirit, a shaman uses spirit link or a dh uses darkness. You can see when a hunter turtles or a pally bubbles. And if you’re any good, with or without the addon you’ll get the kill before those cds come back. Banning a cd tracking addon wouldn’t even anything out as the best players don’t need it.
they need to remove arena 123 option
What is the cause of burnout?
Lack of recognition or reward for good work. Unclear or overly demanding job expectations. Working in a chaotic or high-pressure environment.
At the very least I think the reward structure needs a complete overhaul.
I for one can't wait to step into rated battle ground blitz. To me BGs are way more fun that Arena
Not to mention in order to use all the add ons it creates latency so reaction times are slower
Solo shuffle is the future of rated pvp its as simple as that, LFG is nothing but a shitshow of people claiming to be 2400+ exp at 1.4-1.7k CR and only wanting meta comps and asoon as they loose once they disband. And thats not even mentioning the mutli rank 1 / glads / streamers smurfing in 1.4k-1.6k bracket. Where's solo shuffle dosnt matter what class/comp you are your going to get a game it may take awhile for queue times as dps but your 100% going to get 6 rounds.
They honestly need to move glad rewards and title to Solo Shuffle its the mode the vast majourity of the community wants and plays, Rated 3's is a relic of the past that only the top 0.1% plays and cares about.
Nobody likes solo shuffle, it’s just the only way to play with mmr that works. I’ve never talked to someone that plays it and says it’s fun.
@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr ah yes the a random claiming no one he has spoke to likes ss out of the possible million people that play it
@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr if nobody liked shuffle, it wouldn't be the most played form of rated pvp by an absolute landslide. have you seen the numbers? this guys comment is correct.
I 100% agree with that.
Solo shuffle should be the main pvp ladder, so everyone can try his best to get glad by himself. No hours of searching people that disband after 1-2 loses.. lets hope for the best guys🙏🏼
@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr Talking to yourself may likely be the reason why you didn’t find anyone who liked SS
I'm glad someone else mentioned the editing, there was a time I thought he was just recording his screen from his phone 😂 I felt like I was sea sick from all the rocking
Duelist is not average
Bruh im average casual PvP Player and im always around 1,600-900 cr
tbh it is average if you are actually putting in effort.. you don't need to be amazing to be duelist, but yeah you need to learn the game, specs, classes, etc and what you should be doing strat wise in arena.. if you know those things, and know your rotation, you should be duelist imho..
@@jaydenn2579 brainless comment please remove that
@@ImperviouslyGaming no you need team mates. in lfg im always between 1k8 2k. in SS im above 2k4 (2k7 s7 but it was so inflated)the entire expansion
Definitely is
Dude calls himself casual, has a same team for several seasons, get VoD reviews by a PRO etc. Like delusion off the charts. True "casuals" also known as people who like to mess in PvP from time to time, no longer exist in 2vs2 or 3vs3. There is no point, if are not full on sweat, you will lose like 19 out of 20 matches currently. There is absolutely no casual scene to dip your toes in.
True, but you can also play casually at a high rating, I had 6 characters above 2100 in 2s and Solo and I really just queued casually
@@marcklemoff9382 I think you are failing to even get the word casual. If you got 6 chars over 2100 you are as sweaty as they come. We want participation from weekend warriors, from people who don't know every single offensive and defensive cool down of each spec in game. A fun game for ratings between 1500 and 2100 where it is not a sweaty affair to play.
I've seen people at 1700 in solo Shuffle with x5 more games played than all my characters combined. I can do it in less than 90 minutes of played time. Once I get 2100 I play a new character, I don't push, I don't voice, I don't have a team. I went 35-0 on a character last season...
@@marcklemoff9382Most people can't do it in less than 90 minutes. You probably also get it in less than 90 because you are demolishing far worse players on the following characters. Your progression should be account-wide to stop this. You make it harder for people trying to get into PVP.
If casuals get glad then the meaning of getting glad loses its meaning…
I’m this guy too. I’ve been playing arena a lot longer tho (WOD when I starting taking it seriously). Im to the point now where I get duelist and quit util the next season. Been do this since S1 SL
How many players reach glad from paying R1/AWC players to group with them each season?
Is the war within looking any better for pvp or the same old?
I have been out of the WoW loop for a while now, at least retail. Can anyone confirm if the rated solo-q for 3v3 will still be around in War Within?
10:29 Wasn't Focus before Arena? They didn't "add it".
I've felt like that since MoP
There's a lot of barriers to entry (addons, finding teammates, experience, etc), but aside from that, I feel as though a certain "elitist" attitude has pushed a lot of casual arena players away. I'm a really chill player and I retained 2.2k in 2s and 3s for several seasons in the original release of cata to always have the tier 2 weapons. But anytime in recent history that I've wanted to get back into it again, its really hard to find likeminded players to push with. Veteran arena players are super selective for "recent" achievements, and even when I find a group around my rating, we'll play a few games together, then I'll make a mistake as the healer against really good teams, and they'll just disband or kick me without saying anything. For a lot of these issues, I feel as though its "easy" to blame blizzard for poor game design, or for not intervening with community proposed solutions, but the fact that there were eras of success where these systems worked well, tells me the issue isn't the game itself, but rather the player base engaging with the activity.
There are 0 new players for DF, if there are new players its for SoD or when Plunderstorm was a thing.
@@Kanoog dragonflight brought tons of new players, but they all rolled to solo shuffle.
Blizzard could easily do more for it, but yes, the community is too toxic for 99% of players to bother getting into. Theres a reason SS is the most played rated form of pvp, and its because you can just que, mute chat, and just play 6 rounds and gain rating and still get rewards. Not sure why your able to get literally every other reward but the glad mount, but whatever blizz.
Default UI not only shows trinket CD wrong but it also doesn't show drs. If it did I'd use it.
The r1s at 2100 is real bro last season I didn’t even get duelist and every second team I played had a glad or R1. Like it feels so bad to get placed against these dudes, I finished at 2067. I’m hoping it will be easy street in solo RBGs in s1 war within
i think if they made the non elite set time limited instead of available next expac with marks as well new people would play to get the set
I don't mind addons, but the button bloat and macro needs are a deterrent for me in trying to climb rating in 3s.
Speaking of alts, I blame fromcanada for me not getting rank 1 shuffle as frost, that son of a gun
As a long time raider and wow enjoyer (15+ years) I have wanted to get back into pvp and arenas for a very long time, but when I try it it's just way too overwhelming. I remember doing casual arenas in tbc/wotlk/cata and having a pretty good time but nowadays it's just way too sweaty to get anywhere so I don't even bother anymore. Got to 2k in I think S2 of shadowlands but didn't touch pvp at all ever since.
Yes class balance is pretty good right now if you compare it to former expansions
It might be because at the higher brackets, there is a smaller community and they are all improving along side each other. It’s like moving faster in a car but the car next to you is matching your speed, it makes your speed feel less.
I think every competitive game mode needs to shift its reward structure to simply reward time. Keep R1 titles, but decouple every other reward from rating and put it in a renown track. Every modern shooter does this with their battle passes. Then the only thing blizzard needs to make sure is that the time investment required to max renown respects the players time. Now you have more new players; queue times go down, more games played, more enjoying arenas!
This.
Ven sometimes the way you talk reminds me of reckful haha I love it. Great vid
I noticed wow streamers all try to talk the same. It’s so cringe
Rip
@@Deezy_0 its almost as if they have played together for thousands of hours... lol
I miss Byron so much :(
Any rets or healers EU wanna push some with my Duelist Warr?
Why is inflation tied to player activity?
I just started doing some arena this season, I have been doing BG’s for quite a long time. So I’m definitely not great at this. However for someone new to arenas, man playing a caster sucks. I tried multiple specs on my warlock (which I consider my main) and it’s fine until you get a full melee lobby then it’s just the worst. I probably won’t play my warlock anymore because of it. I popped on my ret paladin and am just crushing with the other melee and about to hit 1800 on it, it’s so much easier as a melee character it’s not even close
My 2 cents. I too started caring about pvp in SL S1 when I saw the plate set for my ret (been ret since vanilla). Led my own RBG groups to above 2500, I actually would have had Hero that season but I was trolled to going Horde from a guy I liked playing with in my pugs, didn't know about the whole have to win 5 more games so FUCK that got pissed and didn't care. I still like Grand Marshal more though.
I now just play shuffle if I like the set or enchant, I'm a duelist now and I only play with 2 addons. In s3 though I was seriously stuck just below 2.1 in the first two weeks and couldn't for the life of me get passed it and had no idea why (for clarification, I am good at Arena, I'm just not a r1 who reads every cd being used and trades perfectly based on team cds you know, like I know I'm certainly duelist lol)
I think they should make the ratings have a cap on people based on how many have played arena games. Like if 10k people have played an arena game, the top .1% has their ranks, below that it's just Elite/Duelist/Rival/Challenger/Combatant/Unranked. Play 10 games and it will put you into the correct tier based on the current MMR system so they dont have to scrap the whole thing. To progress in a league, you just get wins. Not MMR based, but win based. Losses count only a little if you're below Rival, but have more of an impact on your progress if you lose in higher ranks. (Imagine a progress bar at Duelist, 1 win = 5% to elite, 1 loss = -2% whereas combatant a loss doesn't have an impact, but for challenger it would be -.5%). This does incentivize people to keep playing at their lower ranks if they don't know what they're doing or how arena works exactly yet, but with little punishment and they can feel rewarded for getting the set.
The sets at 1800 are already easy to obtain, but they need to add more people to the pool. You already can't really speak in Shuffle without some cunt reporting you for saying "Swap bro" and getting a chat warning. People can be elitist if they want to be but it harms the pvp playerbase, the solution is to just get EVERYONE TO PVP so those douches can start teaching and hopefully understand their insults are only harming the game, not helping.
Best explanation ever.
My number one problem with PvP for YEARS is being rewarded with high ilevel gear the higher your rating gets. What if you just enjoy solo battlegrounds? Sucks being a casual gamer lmao
Pvp gear ilvl is the same what are you whining about son
Pvp gear is easier to get than ever... You have honor n conquest gear n that's it, all scales up.
@jugadorcastriot7796 yeah but don't you have to hit different brackets of higher and higher rating to unlock higher ilevel upgrades for gear? Or did they get rid of that?
@@jasonhendricks4562you talking your vault reward? Yea if you hit 1800 rating the vault reward will be a 502ilvl piece that scales to 528 ilvl in pvp content. All conquest gear scales to 528 ilvl in pvp content regardless of if it starts at 493 or 502 or 515 or any other ilvl.. doesn’t matter.
@MFTomp09 nice, so rating doesn't matter? Like, everyone will be on equal item level as long as they have PvP gear?
What I dislike when I queue Solo Shuffle on a fresh toon with no Mmr or Soft Reset Mmr from the previous season is that I start at 1550mmr, and then I go 3-3 and lose 100Mmr, regardless of my skill level, It's hard to go better than 3-3 as a healer in the 1500 bracket. It doesn't matter too much because I can eventually get out of the ditch but It's just annoying.
5/11/24 Edit: I did some Solo Shuffles on another new Healer. In a 1800Mmr game there was a Spriest who was 100% a lost cause, I played very very well. The priest was bound to go 0-6 but I pulled out a win with her and almost won the other 2 loses but it was an incredible uphill battle. This person was a straight NPC.
I went 4-2 and lost 100MMR 1800 to 1700. (Was actually over 100) I'm not stuck here and can push miles ahead of the rating but that fact that 15minutes of my time was wasted and my Mmr took a hit after I played phenomenal AND I won the lobby is infuriating.
5/11/24 Edit: Hunter intentionally throws last round because he's upset I go 5-1 and gain 30mmr.
Can't wait until I get to the wintrading bracket. Going to be fun...
Brother I logged my mistweaver which I haven’t played since wod and started solo shuffle at 2200 mmr…. The real issue is mmr, I had to afk to drop and people spam reported me and shit talk me now I’m suspended ….
@@itsbalang1659 That's what I'm saying, Mmr seems screwy. Idk how you started at 2200, I came back from Bfa and every one of my characters started 1500.
@@marcklemoff9382 I think the mmr doesn’t reset for old characters somehow say I was 2.2 mmr in wod it stays the same … and now I’m also trying to appeal to blizzard bot ai which constantly repeats that I broke tos… I’m no streamer so no one cares
sorry man i'm going to have to disagree. I boosted a 70 shaman, have never healed before, and am constantly going 4-2 to 1-5. The problem is it takes FOREVER FOR YOUR MMR TO MOVE ON HEALER
@@zomgbbqsauce12345 It's RNG at a low rating, sometimes my new healer gets 6-0 other times 5-1 4-2 3-3, Sometimes there's just that 1 Dps that is unsalvageable and you're bound to go 3-3, making you lose MMR if it's your first game. Typically I go 3-3 or 6-0 in those games.
his story is literally my story got my first 1900 in SL season 1 for the plate set decided i really wanted to push in DF with the boys and we made it to 2175 and hard walled it was extremely demoralizing with how much we swapped things up and improved and still felt like we couldnt get over the hump
Blizzards problem: blizzard default UI has no DR tracker
If you need a addon to tell you what's on Dr then you don't need to pvp you are legit letting a addon telling you when to press a button it's sad and you're apart of the problem! Might as well not even play the game if you can't do it without something assisting you!
@@Memoop-iz6vk lmao a DR is THE MOST important thing in PvP, please tell me why it shouldn’t be baseline in the UI
@@Memoop-iz6vk having a DR tracker is a lot different than all the other addons and weak auras people use, please only gods can get to glad with no addons, and never DR anything if you’re so good at counting the tracker in your head
@@derkaman123123 again it's legit easy to keep track of if u need a addon to tell you when to clone or morph again it falls inline with everything else you mentioned you're using add-ons to simplify and play the game for you without human error! Again if you need a add-on to tell you when to press a button you don't need to play! If they got rid of every add-on in the game 75% of the pvp players wouldn't even reach 1800 it's hilarious how much you all are relying on stuff just to press buttons lol
@@derkaman123123 It's still telling you when to hit a button lol! If they took add-ons away legit 75% of you all wouldn't get 1800! It's not hard to keep track of you're having a bot tell you when to hit a cc 😂
I didnt know how modded the game was until watching some streamers. At first even thought the first one was disabled, because the addon was saying the name of the spells and status effects, but then realised it was not the case.
Many players can’t even fulfill the seasonal mount requirement @ 100% for games played above 1k rating. I’m a duelist level player in an AOTC/semi mythic raiding guild and for them 1600 rating is unobtainable so they don’t even bother with ranked PvP. PvP rewards are not obtainable for casual players.. Hell, even if they dropped the requirement for the gladiator mount to 1800 rating, 90% of the player base still will not be able to obtain it.
I think.. there shouldn’t be any rating loss from 0-2000 rating. Gives everyone the chance to get the elite set and makes it more approachable for everyone. From 2000-2399 you will lose rating but a maybe not to aggressive but not to lenient either. 2400 + 50 wins should be the most difficult part b/c of the glad title and mnt rewards. Then anywhere between 2500-3200 ( or lower ) should be a hard climb b/c of the rank 1 titles.
I’m sorry if 1800 is hard you just need to rethink wtf your doing
@@dayoftherope1690 I’ve gotten 2200 back in the day, I don’t even play DF. Haven’t played retail since WOD
How would they be elite sets then wtf
I’m a 3x glad on mage and rogue. (Season 12 14-15)
Getting duelist at this point feels impossible.
I never got glad but I have always wanted it so bad. This season I am 2320 cr right now and I have a good feeling just need to wait
LOL you doubt there are any new gladiators that ARE NOT playing with other prior glads???? you're cracked out of your mind.
how is that a cracked out of the mind take? its probably extremely rare for a team of all non glads to get glad together.
@@Sumoboi1 In df its nearly impossible. We got gald in s1 and s2 of SL and hardstuck 2100-2200 in df
@andmat3297 well S2 shadowlands was the most inflated season ever of WoW lol. More people have that glad than any other glad mount, except maybe S4 bfa.
Just had an idea for the addon situation:
Maybe blizzard could increase their rate of integration of critical weakauras and addons into the game. I.e recognize which information people use a lot in weakauras and find a great easy to use way of adding it into the base UI, obvious not a copy paste job, and you can’t get everything, but if we had reliable DR trackers, more obvious audio / enemy ability alerts and cooldown trackers it could go a long way to convincing pvpers to go no addons.
Retail is just to bloated, and too fast paced at the same time. Thats why people need all the addons.
I'm a 16 year WoW veteran. In regards to PvP I've only ever played random battlegrounds, I think my PvP level is like 25. I have played the game almost continuously since I started playing. I have played all classes in the game at max level at one time or another and have 10 level 70's in dragon flight, so I have a decent understanding of all the classes and specs.
If I wanted to play ranked PvP and do well at it, would it be possible to do it without installing a single addon, studying a single guide, and just learn what I need to learn and get good by playing the game and using the base UI? I also don't have any friends or guildies that have any interest in PvPing so I would have to do it solo, is it at all possible?
Every time I have tried to get into rated PvP I have been unsuccessful. It has been impossible to find anyone to que with me for rated arenas or RBGs.
I don't think what I'm asking for is unreasonable because it can be easily done with other game modes in wow such as heroic raids and mythic plus keys up to +10.
Im having trouble even getting to 1600 on my ret currently ( was 1850 last season). Yes I know its probably a skill issue but I do feel like the competition is just so steep it would be nice to go up against other normal pvp players who aren't gods.
For me, the trouble is having the time to grind for gear to even have a chance at being competitive now. My loot drop RNG is absolute ass, so gearing is next to impossible for me. I “yolo” RBGd in MoP up to like 1850 and got an achievement in Shadowlands for being in the top 30% of pvpers (maybe not a huge accomplishment for most, but as a casual player I felt awesome about earning that as a solo player) because gear was much easier to obtain and to feel competitive. Made the pvp feel like it was a lot more fun too. I don’t have hours and hours to grind out M+ and raid when people won’t take “new raiders” that haven’t dipped their feet into current raids.
This is why I play Overwatch.
- No unnecessary complexity
- No addons needed
- U don't need to search for a game 45min like in solo shuffle
- U can pretty much play any hero as long as the team setup (healers, tanks, dps) is fine.
Why cant blizzard add or change mmr to increase inflation numbers based on the player base size?
Cuz pvps x15 less then pves. We haven't the way how to control blizz. Money... Capital... That's it
Also 2vs2 and 3vs3 ratings should be Warbond level. I think there is like 200 people constantly making alts and pushing rating which is destoying the ledder for everyone else.
i think rated 3s is gonna be the new rbgs. finding a group will take too long bc everyone will be busy solo/ duo quing in the new gamemode
Good stuff!
After playing dragonflight since season 1, I've slowly just lost interest in trying to push. I'm not some crazy multiglad or anything, but I've been up there and even got gladiator once. Season 1 I managed to get 2600 on Elemental, 2500 on Enhance, and 2100 on Resto in SS. Season 2 I didn't bother with Enhance, or resto because of the slow decline but I was literally 1 point away from 2400 as Ele and tanked 100 points and just started a back and forth in rating. After that I just started to lose interest in even trying, it feels so bad managing to get between 2500 - 2600 on 2 specs just to be hardstuck 2300 on 1 spec the season after. Season 3 I only hit 2100 for the enchant and quit playing because i felt i couldn't hit 2400 even if i tried. Now in season 4 i haven't even logged on to try and probably won't play until TWW pre-patch at the soonest
man you should do a session with him and his team, maybe help them out with some knowledge and post a serie about it on YT
what comp does warrior have besides ret/war
Priest/Warrior used to be good. I haven’t arena’d in a while, but that seemed to be the best synergy for Warrior forever ago.
As RET, I absolutely HATE having to use Arena1,2,3 & Part1,2,3 binds. Honestly, after years of playing and never finding consistent teammates and growing/improving together, I realized that I'll never hit Glad, even if all of the top players suddenly disappeared. While it's great to always want to improve and to have goals, I think that some of us need to be realistic with our expectations of ourselves and recognize that maybe our ceiling isn't as high as we'd like it to be. I think at that point, you'll enjoy the game a lot more.
I have to agreed about the rework for reward structure. Nobody looks forward to getting the first glad mount or attempting to. You go versus multi rank 1 gladiators and even blizz con competitors. Very sweaty games and a hard wall to get over.
As a casual pvper I tried to get into rated. I tried find people willing to join me in communities. All I found after days of searching was people willing to tag along in 1 BG before quiting. The casuals are willing to get more serious, but the community is unwilling to give the opporitunity because they are pushing difficulty. As a casual player I can't even find a group of casual players that want to try to take it up a level.
I would love to do RBGs but my gear is trash since I don’t hours and hours to run M+ and learn the new raids.
I really wish WoW would ban addons. Like play the game as it’s intended. Something telling what to do, or when someone does something seems like you’re bad at the game.
i did go for 2.1 every season on what ever bracket 2s, 3s ,shuffle . since bfa for mogs
in season 3 dragonflight i quite healing arena i get 1.8 in 5 days then quit
My problem is gearing like as someone who just wants to que up gearing is boring and annoying tbh.
Same. I wish I could just pvp for honor and conquest points again and buy the pieces of gear I want from vendors. I don’t have hours and hours to wait for M+ groups to pick up a casual solo player or try to get into raid groups that are too elitist-minded for their own good in hopes to even have a shot at getting a piece of gear to drop.
As a 2100-2200 player i dont even have the time anymore to play arena like i use to, casual solo shuffle is more fun for me now.
I’m hard stuck 2100’s 😅
I went to mythic+ in legion and BFA then switched back to pvp in S1 shadowlands. I have been stuck at 1800-1900 on all characters since then and I know I am a much better player than I was when I started yet I can never hit 2K. It is frustrating… I hate going 4-2 in 2 or 3 lobbies, earning 60-70 total rating which takes about 3 hours with current queue times, then going 0-6 and losing 80 rating. I always end my night feeling like I’ve wasted my time. It would be good if your first loss after a win was dampened and ramped up the more games you lose in a row - that way you are not punished to heavily if you just get a really bad lobby for your spec (which does happen)
I love my monk sticking to it
For a casual relatively unskilled player the biggest problem is bad matchmaking. Even at low ratings our team regularly encounters people who have well over 2k xp. Newbies and old casual nerds with deteriorating eyesight have zero chance against such experienced opponents. A similar system works well for chess tournaments. If you play against someone with a 1600 Elo rating, that's probably close to their true maximal skill level. In WoW, you get far too often impossibly skilled opponents even at a 1600 rating. New players need to be more than a little crazy to keep playing after getting repeatedly brutalized in such imbalanced matchups.
having to beat rank 1's to get glad and the cosmetic reward is craaaazy
I love running into "viewer 2s" r1 streamers in the 1800 bracket nightly
I main a balance Druid but destro lock was the easiest rating I’ve gotten this expansion
just played against mmr assassin on his main priest at 1900 mmr in 2s. Top SP on 3s ladder. I was 1720 with a 1620 teammate
Rewards need to go back to being percentage based. It can never go wrong with a percentage because it doesn't matter if you are 2000 rated or 50000 rated you are still top 5%, top1% or whatever. One of the biggest mistakes they did is the Gladiator requirement rework. As someone that had played WoW in the early expansions I don't ever recall rating inflation/deflation being an issue, ever. If they can't seem to find a way to make rating similar from season to season then I think percentages are the only solution. Heavily inflated seasons like SL S2 or DF S1 shuffle cause more problems than they solve, because people get ratings they do not deserve to get then when it all goes back to normal they blame the system, when the ACTUAL mistake of the system was giving them those ratings in the first place.
"don't deserve" bro you need to touch grass, it's a video game. Deserve doesn't even enter the subject
@@keegantomik4203 🤣🤣 speak for yourself mr CEO. some people actually enjoy and are passionate about their hobbies, no matter what those are.
Lets keep gate keeping rewards, good call! that will surely get more people quing!
@@compaqpunch10 I hate that the elite sets are gatekept at 1800 rating 😥 They should just be given to everyone for free at 0 rating!
@@compaqpunch10 Good attempt at irony my friend, but giving people more rewards and inflating the numbers are two different things. They can add more rewards for each skill bracket without gifting everyone rating.
Im able to climb to rank #270-300 on my rsham on solo shuffle. In DF s1 I’m 2420-ish and got my elite xmog, in s3 I’m 2130-ish and I stopped playing . Its just kekw when I got almost same rank on ladder but 300 rating lower and I don’t get same rewards. Giving rewards based on absolute number is so outdated 😂
If you have arena 1 2 3 you don't really need focus binds
ive played againsted 2400+ borngood at abt 2.2k in SL constantly it was so annoying
I fought several rank 1 at 1800. Something is wrong with that. In fairness it was fun especially since it didn’t nuke my rating.
i genuinely think if blizz dipped into giving honor for doing duels (1v1s)/ giving weeklys for dueling, could really help the gearing process, getting people out of honor gear faster, helping them practice, and keeping players busy during ques. another feature could just be removing pvp gear, and just giving pve gear pvp stats. having two sets of gear is just STUPID.
Well, my friend(hpriest) and me(surv hunt) tried to get 2100 for illusions and such
But between 2050-2100 cr
We ran into jellybeans(on his eu char) and got absolutely shat on
Ran into snupy, got absolutely shat on
Ran inti jazggz twice.. and we got close 1 game and second we got shat on
This also felt very demoralizing since we werent near their level of skill, even tho we try to improve these guys are so good you dont even have the chance to reflect on those games because they are on a whole other level
I think that there should be something that can register what rating you got on a certain spec that the MMR should copy that but he like 300 rating lower compared to their main, even tho it isnt their main.. it IS their main spec
When accumulate enough data, BZ can put lots of AI team in pvp and do NOT let players notice.
Best example for me is the first season Dragonflight 3v3 Custom of the Highland drake for winning 100 games above 3k rating or whatever. It was so fucking unobtainable to me as a normal player who pushes most content and sadly its one of the COOLEST custom highland drake looks. and it will always be the most impossible to have ever gotten and will not ever be available again. For that reason i just stopped pushing PVP all together
At thid point the rewards need to all swap back to being % based. That way they are not directly tied to fixed ratings that depend on the population.
I.e it doesnt matter if 10,000,000 or 10,000 people are playing thr game. If you are in the top 1% of that number you will get Gladiator, then the only thing cr is needed for is to calculate the cut-offs
Ven can you explain something I’m having a hard time understanding? You said “playing meta is the only way to climb” and then said shortly after that “just because a comp isn’t popular doesn’t make it bad”. What’s the difference between meta and popular?
From a WoW gamer since BC, multiple roles/alts over 2.4k in just about every game mode. There is ZERO reason for me to pvp for gear right now. PvP is too unapproachable and there are too many unfun mechanics. From being stuck in queue to win conditions only being CC chains, it needs some insane love to be playable for me.
That being said, there should 1000% be a ticket system for solo shuffle. Tickets that let you queue for solo shuffle, that only drop from 2s/3s. Same thing for battleground blitz, it should require a ticket you get from doing rated battlegrounds.
First ok, second would be the worst thing anyone could do for any game mode closing out so many player having fun in SS or in blitz - btw blitz is really cool.
@@staticsinvolved6936 It would drastically reduce queues. Most people who complain right now are upset because they cant play. Tickets fix that.
@@Nathan-hl4uq mhm i‘m not sure about that i think that would reduce the playerbase - but we will never know 😅
The ticket system will kill the whole pvp. Forcing players to play 2s or 3s in order to play SS(which they wanted to play intially) is a huge negative.
@@rtchhangte5045 I would agree with you if not for the fact that PvP is nearly already dead. It would not hurt to try.
There isnt really a fixed value of rating what constitutes a good player. During highly populated seasons the ratings are higher, during lower populated seasons the ratings are lower. However the 2400 bar remains the same.
Now obviously this was designed as a sort of minimum threshold while still not limitting the amount of players that could reach it. It was a much better solution than saying "anyone higher than 90th percentile will be glad".
However the 2400 bar being this hardfixed and immobile is a problem now that the player numbers are this low.
I dont have a formula to fix this exactly, however I see this as a massive design problem in terms of the ladder system.
Excellent point
Im an average player. How TF are y'all getting above 1500 in rating? I was thrilled when I was able to crack 1200 (for about 5 minutes). Some of y'all are above 2000?! How?! Maybe Im just well below average. [full conquest gear]
Finding a good team can be tougher than a boss fight. Sometimes it feels like unless you win all the time, players just flaming you. And let's not even start on the toxicity... it can really ruin the fun of the game.
i was talking with my elite friends and i really think if you go 15 gams positive or certain things u should get 2100 automatically in solo shuffle because going 16 18 games positive aint easy because if you dont have rank one mmr you will never get certain rewards
still same problem. i just hit my 2100 first time evero n resto shaman. did multiple 1800s on various toons/ but generally same problem across the board. there is this time, where you milk all your boosted mmr, and wherever it lands you, you get stuck. literally going up by 3-10 rating per lobby (talking SS) and than you get a lobby which shits on you entirely, you going 1/6, 0/6 losing more than you gained in last 3 lobbies. and this tred i saw across the board. specifically in season 4 DS, im 1800 on enhance sham, surv hunter, demo lock, assa rogue, disc priest, devo evoker. and 2100 on resto sham. i feel like the system is made on purpose to drag you down, unless by some exceptional skill you can bear that loop of going 40 points up to lose 50 points. than you move up. and it takes a BIG volume of games, LIKE HUGE. i saw your video vin, where you say it took you 2 month to get 2400 on alt. it shouldnt take that long period, especially for some one like you. they need to make it where you gain more rating than you lose and slowly, very slowly ascend despite locking skill. plus they need to give rewards every 100 rating. gap of 1800-2100 and 2100-2400, shouldnt exist. you should be getting something cool every 100 rating.
What do you think about them giving pvp awards like they do in plunderstorm? Say what you will about plunderstorm but it was always full there were hardly any queue times and even people who hated it still played because they could grind out those rewards. It would lose the prestige of the glad mounts but I still think it would be positive for the game if way more people were in the game all the time.
really good video its a boost for pvp community completly destroy by retails. guys wake up the wow pvp is the reel reason why people continu to log in after 10 years , btw really nice video for the community thank youtube m8
It's super casual these days, but i quit pvp because it just felt like crazy good people were being put up against my average group. Could just be me, but either the mmr is wonky or there is so few people theres not enough blood to make the games more balanced from the causals to the elites
Rewards: The rewards shouldn't be tied to the numbers but % of the ladder. Find a fix to avoid early-season shenanigans.
Keybinds: The issue is not the pure number of keybinds, the issue is how bloated the DPS rotations are (and how much changing your spec in prep room can change it - you need to have ~15 keybinds just to cover all the variants of your main DPS rotation +
The OBJECTIVE answer is that the game is solved. Meta changes slightly but glad+ is all for players that have been playing for 15-20 years
