Return of Reckoning

If i wanted to be told how much I suck at things, i would just hang out with my wife.

MAKE RANKED TV.


BRING BACK OLD TV. The new one stinks.

I dont que anymore.. because it just does not pop for me
I have 1550 mmr.. and even if both sides have players. 0 pops.

The system has flaws.

I gave up when queue times were 45+. I do want to like it though.

I'm an average player with a non meta ranked class,
quality of teammates inconsistent,
win 1 lose 1-2 and MMR never goes up,
will never get to the rewards with the current system. Even if there was a way to get insignia not worth the time invested.
NA player so only available weekends.

No attempt to balance 6v6 for all classes
No attempt to balance the rr or gear for all players
Reward is inferior to most interested parties

It strange how the Devs chose to release all the recent content i.e HV and ranked, both very good but they dont cater for the loyal old school player base of this game that will have characters full BiS, dangle carrots in front of them and they will return. skip rr70 sc weapons and lost vale and get on ToVl/LoTD/warpforged and all those 80-90rr players will come clammering back for the grind

DOKs:
- Shield DOK - 80%healer/80%DPS - AP drain
- DPS DOK - AP drain/self heal
- Can’t counter with heal debuff

Shaman:
-AP Drain

Mara:

AP drain is annoying AF because destro brings it in spades. Pop an AP pot, use one ability, rest gets drained instantly. Real fun content not being able to use abilities.
Game isn’t balanced around 6s and devs have made clear they aren’t going to balance on 6s. So why bother.

To answer OP: Because classes aren't balanced for 6v6, and there's no way in hell that I'm going to spend lots of time playing something I don't really enjoy that much only to end up like guys with 80 wins 120 losses and 0 mmr.
Feeling like I'm handicapping my team because I'm playing BO instead of BG or Chosen sucks as well.

make GW2 system

I don't queue because I'm not currently playing a meta class.

Gear normalisation and widening composition options with balancing changes would go a long way.

Either that or just accept the pop isn't high enough to really sustain an MMR system properly and go back to the very first 6v6 queue which didn't have an MMR associated with it. People won't be so toxic towards non meta queuers if there's no MMR rankings on the line.

Leave MMR for true ranked i.e. premade ranked. That's where you can properly measure "skill", MMR cannot work in a random queue as we're not big enough for that. WoW doesn't have MMR with arena skirms, only premade arenas - pretty sure they do that for a reason.

Unfortunately by this point with so much dev attention we're in sunk cost fallacy territory!!

Imho, 6v6 irrelevant in this game due to its core mechanics : strong guard, strong healing power and some dps classes overperforming. In addition to that, you can't even play the class you want or people will insult you...

If changes are made in order to balance 6v6, they'll have huge impacts on large scale (I think that it's already happening) => for me, 6v6 and large scale can't co-exist and I'm playing RoR for large scale in the first place.
