ARENAS/Death match....NOW

I bet your one of those people who are so bad that you can't play objective based games....so many noobs going for kills instead of objective.

The fail is strong with this one ^

Different classes are better at different things. Warzones and Arena-style deathmatch games could coexist side-by-side.

I think that where WoW went wrong was trying to balance PvP around Arenas, because of the heavy focus that was being put on it due to the e-sport status. This led to imbalances in other areas of the game.

Different classes should be better at different things. They shouldn't get funneled into objective-based WZs all the time, where only certain classes can excel on certain maps. Classes that might not be great in an 8 man zerg can really shine in a 4v4 setting.

You don't need to balance solely around one area of PvP, because this is a RPG and the entire point of having different classes is to excel in different areas of the game.

This ^

Yes please. I liked arenas because small scale engagements are more fun to me than a big zerg fest where individual player skill doesn't matter.

There's no reason both arenas and WZs can't exist. Just don't balance pvp around arenas, and the game should be fine.

Yes please

lol. arenas are a failed experiment that went on way too long.

season 10 participation was down 90% from what it was in season 3.

i'm guessing people got tired of chasing FOTM comps

if anyone thinks this game will ever see arena then I suggest you put the pipe down...

Indeed, Blizzard themselves said that if they knew that they knew now they'd have never implemented arena's.

Who cares what Rob Pardo thought 3 years ago? Arenas were very popular since its introduction and a lot of people had a blast with it. The only reason why participation is so bad now is because they don't care about it anymore, they don't fix problems or leave it till it's too late and haven't made any significant balance changes since very early in the expansion. Balancing has been a huge issue because of the way the game is designed and they don't want to separate the PvE and PvP functions of abilities to confuse new players. You don't have to achieve perfect balance but you want enough to keep players happy and an active participating community.

Keep spewing bs though, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about and are just riding a hate train. Also, PvE has rarely ever been affected because of a PvP change (at least since after BC), it is almost always the other way around.

Nah, not convinced. Your ineffective counter point was ineffective.
