With the recent changes to battlegrounds of allowing groups or parties to queue, I have been thinking of a solution to combat blatant win trading that occurs. What if groups must have all 8 members be in the same party? That would solve the issue of allowing people to play with their friends while keeping battlegrounds competitive integrity. It won’t stop win trading in all cases but in a vast majority of them.
The only other solutions I could possibly think of is a 4 man vs 4 man allowance in addition to the above situation. But that increases the possibility of win trading exponentially since you are still just trying to force one of your friends to the top. And it still allows some multiaccounters a chance to control all 4 accounts.
Another solution would be to implement an entirely solo queue option for battlegrounds players. So a person can choose to queue as a solo player, or choose “all” where they could be matched against groups.

Actually I can think on some situations were it would be fair.
4 VS 4
2 VS 2 VS 2 VS 2
And that is it.
It really isn’t fun to play against teams as a solo player.

2v2v2v2 is also a permutation that can work. The problem is if you allow 2’s, they can be grouped against 4’s.
You can always change how the matchmaking works to just not allow it.
I think people here sometimes not remember that it’s blizzard job to actually change what they do to fit our needs and not our job to come with ways for they to use a already existing matchmaking.
Solo queue
2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2
3 vs 3 (yeah, not a full game, but people can group up with 5-7 players and get into a game that’s not full as well)
4 vs 4
That’s what the queues should be split into. None can spill into the other (maybe a button that allows you to agree to be possibility put in a game with bigger groups, but that would remove the advantage groups will have with my suggestion (having an equal team to fight against so team tactics really play a role)).

Yeah streamer Dog was just complaining about this and how stupid it was for them to implement this. It is so easily abused. Use Rafam and tell your friend who you want so you can farm triples off them is just one example.
quad que should only be in game with other quad que.
I have been in several games with quad que now and its very annoying. They all power level and you basicly have zero chance playing a normal game unless you highroll.
And with the upcoming tournament the game has become very competitive at high levels,they all try hard except for the streamers and players who play fair like xixo and a few others.
quad que is a huge mistake that ruins it for the fair players which is still the majority of players at high level but the impact is increasing as the quad ques also are getting better at it. Facing perfect position because they know exactly what you have at any moment in the game,facing high level minions very early because they can level like crazy. Then a few heros who benefit extra from quad que against friends like rafaam or barov and they can also boost eachoter (sacrificing others to boost 1 player,after which the others grind up again) to make a final push for top 8.
Its dumb and cheating,encouraged by blizzard.
The level of sh*t people will go through to boost a a random number never ceases to amaze me… anyway haven’t experienced it on my low level 6-7k but if it is indeed being abused it definitely needs to be looked at
