After further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2 bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.


Well, it's better than nothing.

Kinda lame with the titles, but I guess this will force 2v2 to become sort of the middle ground between arena and BG's where you can gear up some more and get some experience before you start playing "for real" in 3v3.

What he said. I don't really feel like that's needed, though. It's already a painful grind from fresh 80 to arena competitive, more middle ground will only make it more tedious.

How have they changed anything? You say "competitive" like it is a level majority of the players strive/attain, but the real fact of the matter is, only about the top 20% make it to 1850 levels, and top 10-15 go to shoulders and beyond.


They are now giving you 80% of the gear a "competitive" player can attain within a week. However long you take to get it is your issue.


So, if most of the people playing 2s AREN't getting the 2 items, and AREN't getting those titles anyway (because honestly how hard is Challenger/Rival? Its a joke in 2s and requires you to be just a little over 1500 in every bracket to guarantee SOME title) what has changed for these people?


Absolutely nothing.

You realize most people get rival without even getting a weapon? I'd say 1850 is top 7-8% and 2050 is top 3% and above, you're pretty much guaranteed duelist if you hit 2050.

As a Mage, I welcome the change whole heartedly.
2's have been ridiculous for a long time
