SC Variety - Play WITH both factions

Hey

I did see in ranked scenarios in the past (I don't really play ranked) that teams were a mix of order and destruction. Why not make this a thing in normal scenarios too. This will certainly help with queuetimes and be a great learning experience for people to understand how archetypes from the opposite faction work.

This would turn premades into super op by allowing them to pick the best stuff from both factions.

I also havent played ranked but someone who has can correct me if im wrong by saying that ranked also checked that both sides have equal amount of good punts/heal debuffs and such

Stacking/not stacking rules has been changed specifically in solo ranked to allow both faction and things just didnt stack so nothing OP was allowed to happen. Remember, #nofunallowed

Also yes, solo ranked had ruleset that ban groups without healdebuff, it made sure DPS without healdebuff has been paired with DPS who has it and also it ban double range or x2 melee vs 1 melee 1 range. So pop was happening only for 1 melee 1 ranged both teams or both teams double melee. Punts too, there has been at least 1 punt per team, so no double SM/BO tanks in group, but nowdays it doesnt matter as all tanks have punts now.

Please dont. Lets keep a last shred of realm pride alive.

I get the idea behind making sure matches pop, but mixing Order and Destro together just ruins faction identity and creates a complete balance nightmare.

However, if queue times are dead and there aren't enough players matching the bracket/matchup rules, enabling same-faction fights (like Order vs Order or Destro vs Destro) would actually be a great alternative. That way, when one side has no queue pop, players can still fight.

The cross realm solo ranked was I think mainly to have more pops as there were times that queue could look like only order mdps and destro rdps queuing, because to the balance at the time due to slayers and order rdps kinda sucking in 6v6.

Messes with shatters/cleanse balance, as class mirrors have different type of debuff and cleanses, but pug scen ofc won't care about that. Also full same realm didn't happen iirc, 6+5 also I don't think ever happened, 6+4 not sure, 6+3 yes, idk if that was due to the system having limits, or just because the queue was never uber one sided.

But yea no, it was cool bandaid fix at the time, not needed anymore

The reason why this shouldn't happen is very simply, it ruins immersion & lore ( believe it or not, some do like the warhammer universe)

Ranked Scenarios was such a small pool of players playing niche ranked matches, maybe this could be fun in its very own specific mode but need to be avoided in general.

We have 2 realms... goods (order) and bad (destros)

We must not fight together, side by side...
