Arena Skirmishes

[Dagamela]

Just curious as to why they where removed, I've looked all over the forums and cant find a single blue post regarding it, just a ton of rants on it being cut.

 

[Zayiah]

People were entering and trolling etc. And others were entering and leaving to reset their CDS.



Just a guess.

They said that there was not enough people using it. That was basically their excuse which was a lie because everyone did. They replaced it with wargames obviously which is so much worse.



Found the blue post on it.

We didn’t cut Skirmishes because they were flawed. We just thought we’d get more bang for the buck out of Wargames. While some players enjoyed Skirmishes, we can tell you that overall they were used very rarely. We would have kept them if it had been relatively easy to do so, and we may add them back someday, but it’s just not a huge priority based on their previous popularity.

Not just twinks, people at max level did too. They were the best way to test out new gear, specs, strats. They were also the best pass time ever. I don't remember a single time when the queues were over a minute. They were almost always instant. It was much more fun than sitting in a bg queue then getting a whole team in greens. Now all there is to do is sit in org/sw doing laps. Blizzard logic at its finest.
