1v1 bracket

[murfle]

All classes have a spec they could go into that would make them viable 1v1 duelists, why don't they have a 1v1 bracket?

[Alfador]

Because 1v1 is rock-paper-scissors and will never be even close to balanced. Something tells me if bliz was starting arenas brand new, without anyone knowing about them, but with the lessons they have now, they'd have not even included a 2v2 bracket. 1v1 is for world pvp and duels.

I smell a frost mage here...

omg me too!
1v1 ... now imagine a holy pala vs holy pala = ongoing fight
Looks like you didn't really think this thru

[Dwane]

^^ 1v1 would be all about frost mages

Moving away from arenas towards rated battlegrounds.

look, this is well thought through. Everyone starts off strong, and if two holy paladins went at it then it would become a battle of pure will and eventually one of them would get tired and would give up because he/she/shehe/heshe wasn't mentally strong enough to win the duel, so be it. Im not a frost mage, Im a demo lock & i eat holy pallys for breakfast

Blizzard has already stated in the past PvP is not balanaced around 1vs1 or even 2vs2. 1vs1 is a terrible idea

Resto druid vs holy pal go

[Alfador]

They still have 2v2 in the game and obviously they don´t care about PvP balance so why not?

Because the raging butthurt that would come from removing it would be astronomical. It's one thing not to add something, another to take it away.

Besides, I really don't think they want to give people more reason to get mad over 1v1 imbalances.

BTW did your avatar come from a wallpaper or anything?

Hmm 1 vs 1 i believe they already have it in...

it's called /duel it doesn't yield any awards (other then your first win) But it is a 1 vs 1 "bracket" especially in Goldshire (or outside of org)

[Deleted]

Why not, could be fun!

Doesn't seem like too complicated thing to implement right? The rewards dont have to be the best, just something nice.

Resto druid vs holy pal go

My resto druid friend dueled me (I'm a holy pally) and I'd buffed us both with Kings (back when it was still 30 min) before we began. We gave up after Kings wore off.

O.o

1v1 is what great pvpers carrying partners have dreamed of since the first arena season... But it is not possible. Balancing all the classes against each other wont happen. Rogues will never be able to beat good dks, resto druids will never beat a good warrior, nothing will ever beat frost mages, ect.

[Whisperawr]

1v1 doesn't even sound fun. 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 are all team efforts. If you like dueling so much, then by all means, duel. If you need rating to show off your dueling skills, tell people about your win-loss ratio in your statistics at a party. They'll be impressed.

[Acidd06]

Always wanted one of these. But there would be a few classes that would just dominate the bracket..But even 1v1 Skirms to start off why not?

At a party? lol, I'd rather not.

1v1 = Impossible to be carried.

Would make it easier for Blizzard to determine imbalance.

We pay to play, why shouldnt they fix 1v1 imbalance? Anythings possible.

I've always thought 1v1 was a great idea. With a few alterations it would be great for people who love to PvP solo.

Blizzard (The guys that MAKE THE GAME WE PLAY) have stated that they will not balance pvp around 1v1 and that PVP is a team effort. Why on earth would they change their mind about it?

A little off-topic: We pay to play the game. We don't actually pay for balance/content/whatever. We pay to get access to the game as it is. The only reason we're getting new stuff is because they want us to keep sending them our money.

Aaaaaaand EDIT: If you really are serious about this, Blizzard has an excellent *cough* forum for stuff like this. It's at http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/ or http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/

But you're kind of missing the point of the MMORPG theme.

It's not supposed to be a solo game, it's already gone more and more towards solo playstyle lately with for example, the removal group quests.

MMORPGs are supposed to be played with others, be it through questing, pvp or pve.

And just stop using the *we pay to play* excuse all the time, it is not a valid reason.

Belive it or not this game is not made for an individual it's madde for teams so 1v1 would get rid of any reason to even seek out someoen else to interact with and work togeather with towards a common goal this is a MMORPG not a OHEEMGEE I CAN SOLO EVERYTHING RPG
