Friendly Nameplate Markers for Arena, Battlegrounds & Open World

MatesMarkers adds clean, customizable markers to friendly player nameplates so you can instantly recognize your mates in arenas, battlegrounds and open world PvP.

It is built for players who want better teammate visibility without turning their UI into clutter. Whether you are playing Arena, Solo Shuffle, Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds or world PvP, MatesMarkers helps you keep track of friendly players faster.

What it does

MatesMarkers places a visible marker on supported friendly nameplates. You can customize the marker style, size, position, class coloring and optional class/spec overlay icon.

The addon focuses on supported PvP and outdoor environments:

Arenas / Solo Shuffle
Arena Skirmishes
Battlegrounds / Rated Battlegrounds
Open World / Outdoor content

MatesMarkers does not try to modify unsupported PvE instance nameplates such as Mythic+, dungeons, raids, delves or scenarios.

Why use MatesMarkers?

In PvP, losing track of your teammates can cost games. MatesMarkers gives you a fast visual anchor above friendly players so you can identify your mates at a glance, react faster and keep your UI readable.
