End of Plunderstorm EU?
Mount Up for the Northrend Cup!
Plunderstorm Event End Date for EU Servers
MMO-Champion
Since the new PvP season started in 5.4. I notice it's harder to find people who want to cap in 2v2.
On top of that, the queue times went from almost instant in the last season, to up to 5 minutes now.
Does this mean people PvP less in general or do people use 3v3 and BG's to cap now?

Mostly seems to be double dps are gone now, since healer/dps teams are just turtling to get crowd choose you, or double tanks to get the buff. once the buff is removed you will see a rise in 2v2 numbers again.

2013-10-09, 10:16 AM #3DeletedHmm good point. You think the crowd chooses you buff plays a role in the low activity?

Here is the only argument needed to prove that 2s are broken atm. Anyone disagreeing with that is either blind or ignorant.

imo i think they need a passive buff for heal specs in 2v2 like a 30-40% healing reduction passive on healers, and if your hp is over a certain amount it gets scaled back coz it knows you're a tank

2013-10-09, 11:38 AM #6Deleted30-40% healing reduction in addition to Battle Fatigue? Yeah... that would be insanely broken. No thanks... Originally Posted by KangarooBasher

Caped ~3K conquest on my mage with war in less then 1 hr, 2dd are plenty viable and i saw quite a few ret/hunt or rog/mage teams at 2K mmr. Then i've played monk/priest and it was hilarious, all heal/dps setups we properly stomped in previous season in few mins now turtle and when buff is on or they understand they can't get us lower then we got them they leave arena. After a dozen of such games we finally lost one to ret/hunt and seriously this 1 min game felt better then 13-15 min healer/dps mirrors. This retarded buff in combination with turtling tryhards striped 2v2 from it's benefit of getting weekly cap in minimal amount of time = lower participation.
P.S. Also this change affects mid MMR games just as much as below 1500 becouse there're lots of characters with 2K+ raiting doing cap (like my monk & dk, my gfs priest and pal). Can't even fathom who came with idea to award win to a team who got more RNG with crits/procs and then pillarhuged for 10+ min.

they should just make sure that double dps teams always fight against double dps teams, and healer dps teams always fight against healer dps teams. that would solve all of 2v2 problems lol
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.

Yeah, but Blizzard has already given up on 2v2 balancing. With TCCY crap letting DK Tanks laugh their way to victory, I would be fine with dps/dps healer/dps healer/tank and tank/tank teams getting their own bracket. Originally Posted by MrApple
