BASIC PVP is No Longer Basic with Premades and Playing Down

I like being able to gear up slowly to epics in the randoms. I really hate that most of the games, I’m getting steam rolled by sync queues though.
I kinda wish it was truly solo que only and maybe a vanilla ranking system returned, could maybe use that to sort some of the geared players. Maybe the old armor could return as transmog or something.
Not true ranking games but at least something to play, sort and would also add something to work towards on the randoms.
