It should be both and bgs would actually be great again for a vast majority of the casual pvp base. This comes at no expense to try hards or friends who want to queue up. The queue time may be slightly increased for the latter but again you are getting a fair fight and you are.getting to play with your friends
But itâs not, and never has been for 17 years.
I mean ok but I would argue that premades and still a small minority especially in non epic bgs. You see them for brawls a little more maybe because there is a weekly quest. The major issue has been the gearing since BfA. It hasnât been premades. You see more premades in Slands because people need to farm honor.
Fair fight assuming ever premade has the same gear etc. They would also have to bring back people being able to que in 15 man groups again. So now instead of quing with 5 friends that have to get 15, which will most likely mean pugging which means they might as well RBG.
Never to late to change. They are about to bury the worst iteration of casual pvp in wows history. Fixing gear gaps will help, but they wonât truly have bgs fixed until they implement what I suggested. Random bgs with with random teams for solo queue players. Premades go against premades
Fix the stupid gearing system and random bg premades go back niche thing like the use to be.
Eh. They have to do more than gear. Gear just raises the floor. And how classes are designed. The floor and ceiling are very close together.
Alot of players donât realize that the gear gap and grind is covering up how bad the game is designed from spec to spec. If gear was easy to obtain from bgs, players would be playing some of the more ridiculous specs in bgs.
So yes gear will help. Better class design will help and in the end having solo queue vs solo queue would make it the ideal in my opinion
Which is why there is a big cry for the WoD gear system. Even if you only did randoms you could eventually get full conquest set and be even gear wise with everyone else. But even the honor set wasnât far behind the conquest set.
Class design has always be the biggest issue. Even when they overhaul a class/spec and re-design it it also never works out.
I almost always queue with friends on my main. That does solve the backfill problem for myself/others who also know how to avoid it. But Iâm talking about the problem in general. Even if there is a player solution, that doesnât mean the underlying problem shouldnât be addressed.
