PvP community needs some love too

[healzbot]

With 7.2.5 live, and pvp season on the way, there are few major issues still bothering me and probably whole pvp community as well. this are the few things that have to be adressed to make next pvp season playable on the server, and i think its best time to speak now and fix things before next season starts, hopefully we can make Shockeru hear us if we are united and loud enough

1. MMR
Its not fun nor for higher rated players nor for low rated or new pvpers to have mmr we have. Ok enable 2.2k team facing 1.5k team if that is needed for any arena to even exist but atleast try to match high with high and low with low for some time(1 min is enough in my opinion but its up to debate).

2. Can we just have templates enabled in durotar/ef, would be way more fun, i mean even pvp dummy is fine if you will keep it, but this would be even better way to implement it.

3. We already have some below avarage reward for 10 wins, maybe 2.2k here is high but not rly on blizz. So almost noone gets good ilvl gear from pvp, so noone wants to compete. Me also, like many on forum already suggested, that we should get quest/chest for completing both 10 + 10 wins in both bracket and reciving same ilvl gear like you get from m15 chest, that would surely increase pvp participation.

4.Can we just have solo q removed? Its just skirmish with fancy name, so make it skirmish, let healers farm honor in arena(not possible right now) and practice. No casual will come to solo q guy and que it that way... Since we have just few legit pvp healers, and this is leaving new healers no real option to even try pvp without getting "rekt" by some good players(making it even more difficult since rated 2/3s with no mmr means they play against 2.2k+ teams as soon as they enter first arena as well).
And by removing solo q, more ppl will actually try to make team and que legit 3s specially with the point above which would give them a reason to que.

5.Last but not least... 3 arena maps are bugged since forever, thought after year of no los in Ashamanes fall, patching will make walls legit once again, but nop.
Ashamanes Fall doesnt have any los that map is like dueling in durotar, even there u have few boxes to hide...
Tigers Peak balcony will make u los for no reason also, like there is a wall but there isnt...
Dalaran Sewers, yeh we all know that one.
Can we have those 3 fixed before season starts? Specially first 2, since for 3rd one u actually get baned for abusing it(still would be nice to fix it).
I mean if its too hard to fix them, better exclude them from poping at all rly, those maps make no sense in the current state...

This fixes are mandatory, even more then class fixes for season to start. Ive seen alot of ppl coming back to try the patch, and having faith in it. Please dont blow it again with this major, yet so minor thing for you to implement.
Please keep the debate clean off specific class/comp bugs/op state or similiar things, this is not the place for it. This one is win win for everyone no matter raiting or class u play.
Thanks in advance!

Please take the time this season to actually look into pvp

I agree, give pvpers a chance not just pve players we are getting discriminated for way too log by pve content and players.

i truly hope they will actually do something about pvp , i would suggest to disable : solo que and skirmish aswell. leave just 2v2 bracket and 3v3, this way players would be forced to do 2v2 rated and 3v3.

[words]

I can agree with 1, 2, 3 and 5.


From my perspective reasons are: Too long 2v2 heal+dps games, slow and low rate gains in both 2v2/3v3, and rewards from rated arena just aren't very attractive.

Soloque is great for dps vs dps arena games.
I will always favor dps vs dps arena, because most games end pretty fast, and you mostly depend on yourself and not on faceroll healers.

[ookami]

totally agree, is kind of hard to be a PVPer into a PVE system, getting low ilvl items trough 10 arenas or 50 bgs
only a waster of bag slots
the idea of an equial M15+ gear for pvp is kinda... crazy
but id like to get some good gear about pvp topic

+1

hope shock hear the pvp community <3

[soulflames]

well its not crazy,it will be like a second m15 chest per week,but only for 3vs3,maybe this will help.Dunno for like 15-20 wins or 40-50 games plated,smh like this.

[vlicagela1]

I can only say that its easyer to change the syestem of gear drops in pvp imagine you get 855+ ilvl with having 820 ilvl and if you have like 880 + you get 890+ item no matter rate cap l think this is also a good option for ppl who cant get high enough rating wise to get 890+ - 900+ items this can also make ppl to compete more in their mmr so there will be more ppl queein the more ppl quee end of the season will be higher rated

[soulflames]

this is a good idea also,being in a pve based expension this will be the only way to motivate people to play pvp,arenas ofc.

Well... gear from pvp is kind of a problem.
If you are only pvp-ing then its a bit frustrating.

Blizz made the sistem in such a way that if you are good at pvp and you play the game you could get 2-3 max ilvl items per week. From 2400+ rate at 2v2, 3v3 and rated bgs.

So as a pvp player I have only 2 sources of gear 2v2 and 3v3 .
beacause of the low participation if let's say I farm wins and will be rank 1 with 100-10 score I will have 2100 rate at most at 2v2. the problem here is that with that score and that participation and rank I would deserve the max ilvl item per weak.

At 3v3 is worse. it's really hard to get past 1800 and imposible to get to 2400 to get the gear.

I don\\t know what to say but in the meantime I think we need the third gear source so we could switch rated bg reward for a soloq reward.
