    Issue with this is though people should know what to do BEFORE you do that. He is literally impossible if you can't grasp basic mechanics which a lot of people can't.

    All SB dungeons/trials add one or two mechanics, we even have a dungeon showing most, if not all, AOE telegraphs.

    And still a substantial amount of people are terrible at spotting them and managing them. Forcing them to learn it in a well-tuned proving grounds would be a much better option. Imaging the stacking telegraph and have the player forced to move to a group of allied AI in the distance to soak it. Nobody else will cover for his own ignorance of the telegraph, he has to learn to manage it himself.

    This is why I see proving grounds as an additional queuing requirement as a boon to prevent getting frustrated over ignorant players.

    Do you understand that Blizzard dropped the concept because still some player failed to archieve silver? (yeah, there is a popular case of a guy blaming everything but him for that) Also, the quality of people inside LFR and heroics never improved. If you mind so much bad player don't do anything with randoms.
