WoW PvP Leaderboards Guide (Check Arena & RBG Ladder) (2024)

The main reason why WoW PvP fans play 3v3, 2v2, and Solo Shuffle arenas in The War Within is to gain ratings and unlock various achievements and prestigious gear.

The World of Warcraft PvP ranking system is straightforward:

• Your rating increases when you win matches and decreases when you lose.
• The higher your opponents’ rating, the more your rating increases after a win (and vice versa, if you lose).

In most cases, especially for casual gamers, all you need to know is the current rating (CR) required to unlock specific achievements, mounts, or elite armor pieces.

However, as your skill grows and you start aiming for prestigious titles like Legend: The War Within Season 1 or Forged Gladiator: The War Within Season 1, you’ll need to check the builds, stats, and comps of top-tier players. This is where WoW PvP leaderboards become useful.

Each PvP bracket has its own ladder, and all World of Warcraft regions (EU and US) have separate leaderboards for 3v3, 2v2, Solo Shuffle, and RBG.

From this guide, you will learn where to check the following PvP leaderboards:

• WoW 3v3 Ladder (US)
• WoW 3v3 Ladder (EU)
• WoW RBG Ladder (Bonus)
• WoW Battleground Blitz (Bonus)

In this guide, you will also find up-to-date rewards tables for each PvP bracket.

All this information will be laid out plain and simple below, allowing you to quickly find and check the current Arena and RBG leaderboards and top-tier PvP title requirements (cutoffs) in the EU and US official WoW TWW realms.

WoW PvP Rankings Explained

World of Warcraft PvP rankings use a rating system that tracks player performance in various player-versus-player modes, such as Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds. Your ranking improves as you win matches, and higher rankings unlock exclusive rewards and titles.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

• Rating System: Players earn or lose rating points based on match results. Winning increases your rating, while losing can lower it (the number of points you gain and lose depends on your and your opponent’s team CR and MMR).
• PvP Brackets:
  • 2v2 Arena: the matches typically involve one healer and one damage dealer or two damage dealers, with a focus on burst damage and survival.
  • 3v3 Arena: teams feature one healer and two damage dealers, requiring more coordination, strategy, and crowd control to win.
  • Solo Shuffle: 3v3 PvP mode where six players compete in six rounds, with teams reshuffled after each round, and rewards based on the number of rounds won.
  • Battleground Blitz: new 8v8 PvP mode introduced in patch 10.2, where players queue solo or duo with a healer and battle across various maps with faster mechanics, power-up runes, and a shorter average match length of 10-12 minutes.
  • Rated Battlegrounds (RBGs): Ranked 10v10 PvP battles in Warsong Gulch (WSG), Twin Peaks (TP), Battle for Gilneas (BFG), Arathi Basin (AB), Deepwind Gorge, Eye of the Storm, Silvershard Mines, Temple of Kotmogu, Seething Shore.
• Ranking Tiers: PvP ranks are divided into different tiers:
  • Combatant: 1400–1599 rating.
  • Challenger: 1600–1799 rating.
  • Rival: 1800–2099 rating.
  • Duelist: 2100–2399 rating.
  • Gladiator: 2400+ rating (the top tier).
• Rewards: Higher rankings come with exclusive rewards, such as special titles, elite gear, and mounts. We’ll explain all possible PvP rewards for each bracket in the sections below.

This system allows players to compete for better rewards while climbing the ranks in WoW’s PvP ladder every season.

The WoW US 3v3 PvP ladder includes players from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), Latin America (including countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile), and parts of Southeast Asia, such as Singapore and Malaysia.

WoW Solo Shuffle Ladder (The War Within)

In WoW’s Solo Shuffle Arena, rankings are based on individual performance in a series of six rounds where players are shuffled into different teams after each round. Each player earns a personal rating, which increases or decreases depending on their performance in these rounds. Winning more rounds improves your rating while losing rounds decreases it.

WoW Arena Solo Shuffle offers a way for players to rank up without needing a premade team, making it a more accessible option for competitive PvP.

WoW 2v2 Ladder (WoW TWW)

In WoW’s 2v2 Arena, rankings are based on how well your team performs in 2s PvP matches. You and your teammate will queue against teams with 2 opponents.

As usual, when you win, your rating goes up, and when you lose, it goes down. The higher your rating, the more difficult your opponents will be. This bracket greatly depends on the current WoW PvP meta.

As your PvP ranks in 2v2 grow, you can unlock rewards like titles, mounts, and gear (check the full 2v2 rewards table in WoW TWW Season 1 below).
