Upcoming Arena 2v2 Bracket Changes
[blizzquote="Bornakk;http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/18312411773-upcoming-arena-2v2-bracket-changes.html]After further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2 bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.[/blizzquote"]

Why dont they just change it to how it was, where you got more points the larger the bracket?

[Checkviller]

3s and 5s are way more fun anyway imo

[Wtfwuzthat]

well its better than nothing but it sucks i cant get my shoulders from 2s anymore and i hate 3s and 5

[Ave07]

Blizz wants everyone to roll a rogue, priest, or mage for 3s or learn to coordinate in 5s if they plan on going for glad, wpns, or shoulders.

[starwarriors]

Awsome change

[Zyth]

what they need to do is still allow the gear for 2s, i dont like 2s in anyway, but many ppl qq and quit
they must change the requirement for 2s, like best weapon to 2500 rating, and still have 2200 for 3s and 5s

i dont do arena so this doesnt apply to me :

This QQing is especially hilarious coming from a paladin.

"You can still play 2v2 Arena for rated gear, but you cant have it all. Join a 3v3 or a 5v5. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE FUCKING LAZY!"

And who said PvP wasn't a mini game...


Blizz suck donkey balls...
That is all.

[glhyphic]

More of bring the player not the class ?

[Roflmon]

i dont do arena so this doesnt apply to me :

wow interesting, tell us more about that.

well now they take the titles out of 2s which makes it even less interesting and more of a fun bracket than before. sucks tbh.
my 3s rating is higher than 2s, but i consider 2s still a lot more fun and i would've liked to have the choice not to play 3s or 5s ...

[Daelos]

So you still need a 3vs3/5vs5 to get the gear, this did not change anything imo. Just make it like it was, please

2350 for 3s and 5s **

Ya ive been playing 2s with my brother as rogue/priest sense season 3. I remember hitting 2k for the first time and getting my s3 shoulders, it was my 2nd peice of s3 gear, everything else was greens or s1 gear. My character was so lopsided with s3 shoulders ans s1 everything else. But alas we wont be able to play that team anymore....

[Ravasha]

What's so special about shoulders?

[nobanme]

Great change imo.

2v2 is infinately easier than 3v3 or 5v5 and i dont agree 2v2 should have access to the best weapons.

If you play an OP class in 2's it was just too easy to get access to the best gear in game. Alot of raiders would just roll in 2's and have the 232 weapon after 2 weeks of play, whereas those who dont pvp are still waiting for their drop in Ulduar.

2v2 tho should still have access to last seasons weapons imo.

But im glad that the facerollers will at last have to put a bit of effort in to get the newest gear instead of facerolling a few games each week

[Follisimo]

Great change by Blizzard. Now hopefully they won't care if 2's teams are getting steamrolled because you will never come close to balancing out 2s.

[det]

Only chance I see to get balanced arena and stop the bloody QQ:

10 vs 10 and every class must be represented exactly once. What specc each class choses it the determining factor...and players skill.

I am sure people will easily find faults with this too, ofc...

[Shockk]

I'd rather have a 2s without items than a 2s without the option of achieving gladiator. In my opinion, this approach is even worse than the one before. I don't see how destroying a whole arena bracket is a better solution than dynamic rating requirements on gear depending on brackets.
