Very good advice again. I'll have to start applying these tips. Although, tbh, my main problem with solo shuffle is the terrible queing anxiety. I'm so afraid people say nasty things to me and make me feel shitty for the rest of the day, I seldom manage to actually que. And I know voice would help coordination, but I'd rather go to dentist daily than talk voice with potentially toxic strangers.
that kind of goes without saying. But I make about 25-35k/hr with just mining while I wait. I pay for my sub like this, so I can't complain. I also get to engage with other parts of the game, like the different rep factions and digging soil etc. Gotta say it's been fun discovering these things alone and without being forced into it. It's totally optional.
@piposanchez I think they are trying to, it's just the fact that there are not enough healers wanting to play it. I mean they either get trained with no peels or the dps gets trained and Los or doesn't use defensives. I think they are trying to make it more lucrative for healers to que even if they have conquest cap.
I feel like a lot of R1 players are talking shit about soloQ because their egos got bruised over the fact that they weren't R1 there instantly as well. So a lot of the more fragile ego R1 players have an agenda to make it seem like soloQ is just free rating and zero skill. In reality, it requires a completely different skill set. There is a lot of overlap of course, but different aspects of the game are emphasized. In rated team 3v3, it's more about setting up goes and kill windows. Only a few comps rely on dampening to win, and they are rarely meta. In low rated soloQ, it is mostly down to who can carry their team hardest and be the most aggressive player in the lobby, able to close out games quick. In high rated SoloQ, it is most valuable to know how to survive into dampening, how to peel your team to decrease the odds of a sudden loss. It is more important to play consistent games with no defensive mistakes, doing optimal damage, and winning through eventually unhealable damage. It is a bit like in League of Legends. Team 5v5 in league is a completely different game. Pro games and high rated clash tournaments often revolve around team macro plays. What team goes where and when. In SoloQ League, low elo matches are mostly determined by individual carry players who just stomp their mirror opponent on the enemy team. Just got to play aggressive and exploit the low skill of the enemy. High elo soloQ is more about playing consistent, and having good macro plays as an individual. It's just like WoW's new soloQ. It requires highly different skills to do really well. The meta is very different. But in League, nobody is claiming soloQ is irrelevant or an easier mode. I personally even feel like WoW arena should change to prioritize soloQ over rated 3v3. Like the mount reward should come from soloQ. Game balance should be prioritized around solo shuffle. That's because WoW PvP has been dying for years just because it is so hard to get into and play. LFG is a mess. Nobody wants to play with new players. No new players know each other. But solo shuffle has been changing that. There is a reason why the 3v3 and 2v2 ladder have been so deflated, while the solo shuffle ladder is huge. It is a better and more accessible gamemode. It has already made the WoW PvP scene revitalize.
That Intro was so cheesy, but I can't deny I was "Immersed" lol! Narrator guy is a better Voice Actor than I realized. I geek out over people like Matt Mercer and Taliesen Jaffe (sp?) though so I'm pretty much the target audience for a bit like that lol... Now to watch the actual video!...
He's a professional voice actor, I believe he voices Ezreal (from League of Legends). Personally I find his style too carton like, and his voice sounds like chalk on a blackboard, but I must admit he's good at the acting part of his job.
@@anasalami1561 Heh yea he certainly leans into the polarizing "gravel throat", most people probably love it or hate it. It's like cranking the default Bass Boost on some headphones. His voice reminds me of Sykkuno's, they're very different voices, but they both lean heavily on that "sexy bass twink" voice; like Justin Long's character in "Zach and Miri Make A P*rno".
@@dallash1747 You need a pvp ilvl of 408 to queue. Once in queue, you have like 1500 matchmaking rating (MMR) on a fresh character. Depending on how you do in games, your MMR and current rating (CR) will adapt. CR is what matters for rewards. MMR is sort of your invisible rating, that the game thinks you should go 50% winrate at, and thus belong in that rating. But MMR fluctuates faster than your actual rating. If you win all six rounds in a match, the game will significantly raise your MMR to get you into matches with more challenge. But the opposite is also true, if you lose 6 rounds your MMR will tank. You gain or lose CR based on a calculation. Put in VERY simple terms, the higher rated other players are compared to you, the more rating you gain.
Ah, so you're saying that all of the - already weak - Devoker defensive options all get really weak later in the game, except for their Shield Wall basically. Good thing to be aware of, but it also kinda sucks.
I will let you know that, unironically, Íllìðåñgøðx (Illidangodx) is top 3 on the EU Solo leaderboards. So maybe not using Blur in your lobby actually works!
@@CaptainDope Might have something to do with the abundance of DK DH feral lobbies. Lock is a viable class, don't get me wrong. Top 3 in casters. But it is an absolute nightmare to play lock into the most popular melee specs, and against the most popular caster ele sham too. I've played all lock specs, SP, DK, DH, arms, and feral in solo shuffle. Lock is fine in terms of being competitive. But it is unreal how much more chill it is to just play DK, DH or feral and mash 2 buttons for the same results.
1 essential tip: DONT play a caster :) they're fine in normal 3v3 but in SS zug zug I felt miserable on my lock and sham (I know they're both decent but u get trained 24/7 by 2 melees and healers at lower ratings cant heal that)
Mages tankiest spec in the game, highest Single target damage, most mobility in the game and spamable CC and yet mage players say the class is bad 🤣🤣🤣 they can only play it when its 0 IQ class like in shadowlands
I’m only 1600 solo shuffle, don’t play it too much because queue times, but any mage I’ve ever seen apparently don’t have polymorph on their bar. Let alone cs’ing the healer
@@pdubz6169 Eh, I mean ret is kinda in an unhealthy spot. Having played it, ret is way too squishy, deals meh sustain damage, but with an RNG crit you can just completely unfairly delete someone. I would personally completely stomp on the radiant decree and final reckoning burst. Like nerf it to oblivion, okay. Execution sentence is fine, as it is telegraphed and easy to counter. But I would also advocate for slight ret healing buffs. I would want shield of vengeance and their wall to be both obtainable, not a choice between them. And I would like ret to have like 10% passive magic damage reduction to help it against wizards. And also I would like exorcism to hit decently hard. Ret should do okay damage even from range, as they do be a kind of a wheelchair class.
Only tip you need in solo shuffle and pvp in general is play meta classes. For example, tip for 10.5: look at the AWC games,look on the 2v2 and 3v3 EU and NA ladders and you'll see about 5 or 6 classes that dominate all those lists. Pro tip: every other class is shit and is a nightmare to play at a moderate rating. TL;DR reroll Havoc / Demo lock.
@@octaviangeorge5455 So you would rather believe these idiots than the real stats, right? Look on the fucking EU arena ladder 3v3 you damn idiot, there's more than 10 havocs on the first page, i didn't even look on the other ones. Lowest one is 2.5k mmr. If you blindly believe this shit "tier lists" without even checking ladders and actual in-game data i'm not wasting my time trying to explain to you that these youtube fuckers are presenting you their subjective opinion in their videoclips, not the actual reality, they only care about making views on their shit "content" because that's where the money comes from. But keep on believing all the crap you see on youtube mr 1200 rating. Go fuck yourself.

TIP NUMBER 1: NEVER DIES ON FIRST ROUND! If so everybody will focus you rest 5 rounds🤣🤣🥲🤣
this is solo shuffle in one sentence lmao
Pretty much. My goal for the first round isn't even to win anymore, it's just to survive so I can actually play the next 5 lmao
lmfao trueee liek sharks smelling blood
I love it
Illidangodx never dies in enemy team but hes made of paper in my team :(
Illidangodx saves defensives for the next round.
He saved his Dark for when he is against you because you’re so damn good
xDD

Will you upload season 6 pvp of wotlk? Ty guys amazing content as always
Meanwhile my lobby dps are lining me, never disperse and never stay on target

Are the solo shuffles based on something like item lvl or record?

I hope they nerf dampening, maybe then more people will start playing healers.
It's not even dampening that sucks for us, it's DPS-s that do not interrupt CC.

Atleast youre extremely mobile, and have double wall
@@Vikwak Yes. And that's basically it. Your approach to playing Devoker is more or less a DPS race/try to cheese one-shot them before they kill you.
