That... plus the still annoying as hell to kill Blood DK's, Rogues, and hunters would be annoying too. 1v1 isnt balanced at all. So, please Blizzard do not make a 1v1 arena.

PS- Wouldn't duels be considered a 1v1 arena? Just compare achievements and go to Stats to see how someone is doing in the "1v1".

Keep in mind that people who don't like 1v1 don't have to do it.

I like 2s and hate 5s, so I do 2s and dont do 5's.

1v1 doesn't have to appeal to everyone but a large portion of the pvp community would love it.

To me its the true test of pvp because no one can carry anyone else. It's all you.

Team play is an important part of the game, but thats well and truly covered already.

A debuff will appear after a certain duration negating healing by a % (or something along those line)

1v1 would be fun, but duels already give you a 1v1 option. There is no reason to add a que for it.

Rofl. I hope you're trolling.

Every class has a dps spec, 1v1 is accessible to every class.

Do triple healers q for 3v3? thats dumb

The problem with that logic is that the flavor of the month classes will all faceroll their way to gladiator by themselves. It takes literally less than half the skill as 2v2/3v3/5v5 because you don't have to coordinate with a partner and you don't have to worry about getting hexed/feared/stunned/etc while you beat up the warrior.
Maybe 1v1 skirmishes, but 1v1 rated is a terrible idea.
Tbh you should be able to skirmish with any number up to 10

Because this game cannot be balanced fundamentally (like at its core it's impossible), the only 1v1 that could work would be same class vs. same class.

For instance, mages always fight mages. Rogues always fight rogues, etc. That would work, and be fair. Award a mount and a title to the top .5% of rogues, mages, warriors, etc. in their respective 1v1 class brackets.

Because right now, if there were a 1v1 arena with no limitations, it would consist of all rogues and mages. And any subsequent seasons would be filled with simply the FOTM classes -- again because the game cannot fundamentally be balanced.

Warrior 1v1 vs a rogue............not even a chance right now.


All that being said, I'd still be for 1v1 arena, even if one class completely dominated it. At least we could all play that one FOTM class, and know how we stack up by ourselves.

So what if particular classes will dominate 1v1 ? they arent getting glad rank with it, they arent even asking for conquest pts (altho 50 per win would be legit), look around priests and shamans are dominating 3v3, should we can 3s then?

Will it really break your fun factor if people got to play aspects of the game they enjoy?

1v1 really? just to point out, PVP is based around TEAM play, not solo people who think that just because they counter a class they are good.

Rogues saying they want 1v1 would only last till they kept getting disc priests as their match up...nobody dies nobody wins. YEP that sounds like fun to me

If youre looking for constant one v one i suggest either finding a different pvp game that has death match style play or just continue to be that baddie in every BG that just runs around solo trying to farm kills

It's likely that there will always be OP classes/specs. Having a PvP bracket that's essentially tailor-fitted to them would not be good for the game. There are so many ideas better than this one too.

- Put skirmishes back.
- Take raid items out of rated PvP
- Spend time and energy continuing to balance the game as is, rather than add an additional broken bracket that can never be fixed.

If you enjoy 1v1 that much, go duel people.
