PvP Changes Coming in Patch 10.2 - Solo Queue Rated Battlegrounds
In an interview with Icy-Veins, Assistant Game Director Morgan Day and Senior Game Designer Patrick Scarborough revealed that solo queue rated battlegrounds are coming in Dragonflight Patch 10.2, in the form of the Battleground Blitz Brawl! Rated solo shuffle was also first featured as a brawl before becoming a mainline feature, so if this does well, we may see rated battlegrounds evolve the same way.

Can you briefly talk about PvP changes and the new PvP Brawl?The class reworks (outlined above) usually have big PvP changes too.
They are adding a new brawl called Battleground Blitz.
Those familiar with Solo Shuffle from Shadowlands know this is an experiment to see how a Solo Queue experience for Rated Battlegrounds may look like.
Battleground Blitz adds a solo queue for existing rated battlegrounds.
For this specific brawl, they went with 8 players instead of 10 and we're looking at a 10-15 minutes match length.
The addition of the ping wheel will make the solo experience for battlegrounds more manageable. They think having the tool is great for solo queue coordination..
