Fantastic idea! We don't have enough importance placed upon HKs. No offense, Rice. :*

The rating prerequisite though, that's actually a good idea. It would help ensure that the players entering 3's have at least some arena experience already, rather than the shitstorm of bads it is currently. I'm going to have to vote in favor of personal rating as a requirement. Which might liven up 2's, which from what I keep hearing, has suffered since 3's dropped.

7.5k Hks its too much, 1k its pretty enough, it was implemented for fun so people who's queing atleast know what means mount and first aid (mostly) .
But Ques will be too long.

Why Hks, period? BGs are a mess currently because of the importance placed upon HKs. Implementing HKs as a prereq for ANYTHING will only worsen this. You already have to be drunk or high on something to enjoy the BGs, don't make it altogether impossible.

Although, thinking back on my idea and how small the arena populace actually is... that would cripple it as well, with using personal rating from 2's as a requirement, (which in turn would only produce more win traders, gunning for that magic number.) However, I still argue it would have the added benefit of ensuring your partner has at least stepped foot in an arena more than just a handful of times. That in itself is probably a victory of some kind.

I have been thinking in having at least 1.6k in 2s ladder. I don't know what you think but you can comment if you have a better idea..

I was being sarcastic. To hell with all prerequisites.

How about implementing match making system on solo 3's? (No sarcasm this time)

True ,I just added in case it sounds well, 7.5k was too much, I think maybe if there could be something like " 3s rated " and "3s challenger ", so you need 1600 rated to be able to play challenger, and 3s skirmish may be deleted as no one que on it.

But there is no way or point adding that, as 3s solo was made for fun , everybody is welcome and free to que it even if he has no gear on ,or he doesnt even know what is a sl/sl lock.
It will remain like that for sure.

May be done in further seasons. Remember, this season is merely a beta and test-run while we figure out what works, what we like, and what we want to change. Keep in mind adding match making will slow down the queues, but there will have to be threshold timer, like 2v2 where if a good enough match isn't found, it matches you with whomever. So it will be highly effective during active times, and less effective during lower activity times.

I don't think your suggestions would improve 3s, nobody with real life cares about the rating there and out of 7 games with my hunter I didn't lose a single game (7-0 1628) with overall ~20 different players fighting which proves that you can have decent 3s games with this feature.

If you're skilled you can easily farm

thanksbye.
Key Words : #hunter

Sorry sir , there are other classes instead, try it on retri/shocka, enh / feral, whatever that ones that are not 2s standarted like rogue/priest, and please try with these too I want to see you easily farm.
And btw 7 games doesnt mean much, play 100 atleast to feel that.

I'm well aware of all that.
One thing you might want to change during this season is protection paladins being flagged as healers. Just saying incase you already haven't.
