It takes 170 games of 2v2 to get 15 voidslivers
And it shouldn't have to be this way. This is the first time since Legion that blizzard put in an RNG drop item that was necessary to equal the gear of the best players.
This had been litigated. Expansions ago they decided that rank was irrelevant and you just had to earn your conquest.
This system forced me back into a part of PvP I do not do. I had not done any arenas since Battle for Azeroth and I was happier for it. I just want to do Random BGs, and as a result of voidslivers, I was locked out of that for 170 games.
It shouldn't be about having to play the game in a specific way. Admit this was bad design because it was.
The only hope we all have is that the PvE-ers hate it so much that they made it 100% drop chance. If it was 100%, I would have had it after 15 games.
One last item before I don't post here for a long time, much is made here about how the PvP community is a second class citizen. Some of this is blizzard's fault, but what I have learned this week is that it is also a self inflicted wound. I have had more vitriol thrown my way as a result of this topic since people used to send in game mails with slurs in it. I am happy to go back to lurking.
I can only hope I never have to touch arenas for another three expansions until a GenAI or an MBA makes another game design decision.
