I recognize you from the forums! Personally, I’d rather have a player with more map awareness on my team than someone playing a meta spec too. I also feel that Blitz is superfluous overall. If there had to be a separate rated SoloQ bracket for bgs, I would’ve preferred they just throw a rating on to random bgs and call it a day.
I think there needed to be a format like Blitz, but mainly to give people who solo queue a place to play away from the five man premades in random BGs. A system with MMR was also needed so newer players or players who are learning have a place to play against each other, instead of getting crushed by veteran players all day. Personally, I don't really care about titles and rewards. But, when solo queueing, having a place where matches can be more competitive (due to no PUGs vs. full premades and some attempt at matchmaking) is a good thing. I'd play Blitz even if it offered no rewards or titles, basically. We actually had this conversation on X/Twitter a few months back. I do believe that full premade RBGs is harder content, so deserves better rewards.
@@RaggokOozo True. Me and practically the whole RBG community wouldn't be nearly as pessimistic about rated Blitz if Blizz gave RBGs a unique seasonal reward like we've been asking for years.
Thanks for the blitz content - no one else seems to be making it nearly as in depth as you have! What are your thoughts on healing? I find it much harder to play to the objectives as a healer if your team doesn’t have that awareness. Unless you’re an rdruid lol
I don't play healers at all, so I can't really comment. But, definitely when DPS aren't playing objectives and forcing the healers to sit bases, etc - it typically doesn't go well for the team.
Hi, I can conclude from your introduction that I am dealing with an expert, so I have a few questions 1, Im looking for the "raid boss" spec, what I mean: good self sustain and decent dmg (not tank) 2, A spec witch able to kill a healer (if they dont stack) I think there is no spec that meets both criteria, so please put your hands separately pls help me out, thanks! Best Regards: Greg
Damage is high, so everything just dies when focused by multiple DPS unless backed by a healer. Ranged has the best survivability, but not because they can tank the damage but avoid it with positioning. For smaller fights, fury warrior is my tankiest melee and affliction warlock is my tankiest ranged class due to their self heals. BUT, I don't play all specs. Good heallers are hard to kill for anyone, but fury and affliction do very good sustained damage. Good healers can usually handle burst cooldowns. It is sustained damage they can have issues with. This is all IMO. I wouldn't call myself an expert. ;)
Oh, and I would suggest also asking some other BG content creator what their thoughts are on this one. Maybe there will be some common suggestions that stand out.
It's a shame its been 6 years since we got a new BG. A game this size with this amout of players should make 1 BG per patch every expansion, or atleast 1 per xpac, themed around the Xpac's thematic and aesthetic.
I think one BG per expansion would be good and based around that expansion's theme. I agree with you, that should have just basically been standard operating procedure.
WoW...the discrepancy between your shaman and the impact of a spec in BG blitz, is that in this mode Mobility ,AOE CC and utility increase your chance of wining; most of the shamans utility fill that roll but shadow priest have bad mobility and damage or healing support. Paladin is Overtune this 2 last seasons in DF easy to pick and win.
I'm not exactly sure what you are saying here, but my main point was that map awareness and understanding win conditions are more important than the spec (ofc, some specs are still going to be better than others at certain roles, but that should not be an issue except at the very highest ratings). I was doing matches over 2100 MMR on my shadow priest as well. In fact, I was doing matches over 2K MMR on all thirteen classes.

Yeah, just slapping a solo queue onto rated battlegrounds probably would have been better. I could do without the Blitz gimmicks.

So the new BG looks like an old BG they removed haha
They rehash everything mostly
@@nojabhere Yeah PVP is always an afterthought anyway
At least we will have something new, er... "newish", to play around with. :P
