Improving Solo Queue for Everyone
Dear Warmane Staff,
I want to bring attention to an ongoing issue in Solo Queue that is significantly affecting the quality of PvP. The experience has changed drastically from Season 25 to Season 26, with a noticeable increase in disruptive behavior such as wintrading and griefing.
In Season 25, wintrading was more contained, but in Season 26, the problem has grown, with multiple players and groups participating in these activities.
Proposed Solution:
Enforce strict and immediate punishments for players engaging in wintrading or disruptive behavior in Solo Queue, rather than waiting until the end of the season to take action.
Why Immediate Action Matters:
Let’s consider a scenario where three players are competing for Rank 1 in their class:
Player A queues consistently but unknowingly encounters wintraders.
Player B is aware of the wintraders and avoids queuing while they're active.
Player C is involved in wintrading.
If action is only taken at the end of the season, Player A has already lost a fair chance to compete throughout the season. Player B benefits from avoiding the issue but is forced to alter their play schedule. Even if Player C is eventually banned, the competition was unfair for the entire season.
By addressing these issues immediately upon confirmation, you not only ensure a fair competition but also prevent other players from becoming discouraged and quitting mid-season. Consistent and immediate enforcement will foster a healthier and more competitive environment, benefiting the entire player base.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards
