Why isn’t rated skirmish a thing? Blizz could release it with like zero coding required
Tell me if this sounds like a terrible idea… Conquest farming is painfully slow, unless you crate farm or have a friend to run 2s with. The daily skirmish gives like 30 conquest for the first win and then 6-7 after that. What if we just made a rated skirmish mode call it Brawl or something?
Solo queue, fast games, conquest rewards, and a rating for those who want to scratch that competitive itch without having to schedule a play date. Maybe let me just jump in before IRL calls. And the best part, it’s basically already built. Rated skirmish is just current skirmish with a ranking column slapped on it. The PvP intern could probably ship it in a week.
Here’s how it works: DPS can queue 2s or 3s, healers can queue 3s only. No healer 2s. No premade teams. Like live skirmish, you can’t pick which bracket you get, it’s random. The only differences are a rating and conquest rewards. On the healer 2s thing, I get it might feel unfair but healer 2s already exists in rated. Keeping it out of this mode protects what makes it unique: fast, chaotic, low-commitment. Plus with how many more DPS there are than healers, it actually helps queue times.
Blizz has been listening to PvP feedback it feels like, so now could be the time to get behind something like this. Would genuinely love to hear feedback also.
