Arena Solo Queue

[bossutai]

Can you count how many matches were played at soloq? Just as a curiosity...

Staff message (Shocker):

 

~5000 3v3 solo rated until now

[madau]

yesterday, at one point, there were 11 3v3 arenas. This is a GREAT boost to the 3v3 and ppl seem to enjoy it more than the 2v2 (as it was meant to be). Bravo to all the ppl that are queuing and keep on doing that!

We already have item level requirement, should be ok

Not really man.I got teamed up with a warlock full s13 with some PvE items without any enchants and any gems at all.Not allowing people that are not fully enchanted to que is actually pretty good restriction overall,i think i'm not the only one that likes this.

Try to balance the comps, practically now you make rate if you have luck.

I agree that sometimes It could be frustrating .
But I think the all thing will work out once the ladder expands.. meaning players will go above 2k Then if you are in the top.. it would be almost impossible to get in a team with a 1400-1500 mmr player.

That's why I suggest that this ladder won't get a reset after the launch of S15 - because it took 5-6k+ matches to get to this point ~1800 highest mmr and I believe the ladder gets better an better once the players mmr gets higher.

"3v3 Solo Queue bracket:
We will not give any rewards because it's too early (and there were some exploits), but we will reward the 3v3 solo queue bracket in the next season."
What kind of rewards you will give next season?

[Hawtydaboss]

I think the reward system should be something like this... :

1st You give certain title to the Rank 1 of each class,then depends on the bracket % you reward the rest with 2 or 3 more titles like X title to the highest warrior,mage,rogue,etc / Y title to the rest of top 20 and Z title to the rest of ppl in top 50.

Btw,i just remembered how it was on AT when you could actually buy gear with soloq that req. rating...If people are allowed to buy stuff from the arena vendor that would be kinda stupid

Rewards haven't been discussed yet, but *probably* similar to normal 3v3 bracket

i think duoq kills the whole idea of soloq, regarding the rewards i agree with hawty's idea.

3v3 rewards for a bracket that's played solo?That makes no sense at all.In my opinion regarding rewards,the idea is to reward the highest of each class with unique title example - Flawless Victor ,since it makes sense that they've gone through whole bracket and in the end they're the "class leaders" of their own classes.And the rest of the titles are just bracket titles,it's completely solo,it's not 3v3 where you gather team and play by 3,so the rewarding system should be massive,at least top 50 like i said earlier.3v3 Soloq has nothing to do with 3v3 bracket rewards.

edit: i can actually help choosing titles for rewards,but for real i don't think it's neccesary to reward people with anything more than titles.

What about the vendor thingy?If people reach 1850 rating in soloq can they buy Brutal Nether Drake for example from the Arena Vendor?Cuz if that's possible you should either increase the rating req. ,but that also kills 3v3 since people cannot really get that high and it also makes kinda no sense to let people buy stuff from this vendor with soloq rating.Perhaps making another vendor specially for soloq could help,but i don't think the current one has to do anything with soloq.

Reward top 3 or 5 solo q players with Gladiator tittle and keep r1 tittles for 3v3. This way we are going to stimulate people to play both brackets. 2v2 rewards should stay the same. For example i would reward top 5(or top 3) solo q players with Gladiator tittle, 5-10 Duelist, 10-15 Rival and so on. One thing is for sure, Freakz is the only server where you can find much more people with r1 tittles than rivals, duelists... That's huge problem, r1 tittles should be extremely rare on private server with such small PvP population.
Again this is just my suggestion and its almost 2am so don't kill me cuz of dis

[Arahanmdrqt]

I won't disagree with what u said, but giving gladiator for an unbalanced bracket is not normal i think, the bracket so far has been developing pretty bad in my opinion ( people joining with low gear, no enchants and gems or even worse....they join and stay afk the whole game ) . Giving rewards such as Rival / Challenger and Duelist is fine i guess

[Sumoo]

This solo q season won't be rewarded because its simply for fun/testing at the moment but next season after some more changes ( for example i would still put restriction on 2 same classes in a team and some mmr changes) i think its perfectly fine to reward top players with Gladiator tittles. Yes its RNG and unbalanced sometimes but it will require lots of effort and farming to get top 5.
Thing is that you gotta motivate players with some rewards if you wanna keep bracket alive, just remember how active 3s were in malevolent season because of vendor. If you were to give rewards only in 3s majority would stop playing solo q because it can be really frustrating sometimes.
Anyway i expect lots of players that took a break (including me) during this season because of meta gems still being broken as fuk to come back next season so all 3 brackets will be alive.

I don't think PVE gear downscale works in 3v3 solo queue. Can anyone confirm that?
