I recently got an SPriest mostly geared up for BGs. I made them with the intent of being a PvP focused character for funsies. That and I have enough PvE characters I enjoy playing.
Every single regular BG has been a curb stomp at the hands of an Alliance premade. Last night, I faced the same one three times. This morning, first BG, sure enough it’s another full Alliance premade.
I’d say it’s me being rusty at SPriest which, yeah, I haven’t played it in a while and it has a bit of ramp up if you’re not Halo spamming, but I don’t think that counts for my entire team being dead at all times.
Sure wish I could find our premades and I wish I had the technical know how to make my own, sure would be nice to have an actual game as opposed to getting immediately nuked by an organized group chain CCing me to oblivion.
I believe this character is now 0-5 in regular BGs which were not even contests, won two Epics at least, but regular BGs are flat out unplayable right now.
What gives? I thought you all were fixing this problem? Why is it still so rampant and, I always bring this up when I post here, you’re wasting effort putting in a new BG that will have the same exact problems, instead of actually fixing the problems.

Premades are more than ‘just a few friends queueing for BGs’.

I had the same problem coming back after taking a season off, I found BGs and Epic BGs to just be a horrid experience thanks to the premades farming the player base. However I found a solution, in pvp under costom group tab, search for “crate” groups. Big raids fighting one another over crates, hella fun, and a good way to farm honor, conquest and bloody tokens.

I had super balanced games on the weekend. Actual nail biters. Lost a wsg 3-2 and they capped in the last 5s of play, it was crazy.
Both horde and alliance. So I think it’s exactly the same as it’s always been. There’s the occasional premade in regular BG’s but it’s not as rampant as people cry about.

No, not really. Thats pretty much all they are.
Bring your own friends to BG’s.

If you queue up against Metz (Pres Evoker) and his group, be prepared to get stomped.

Look for AVM, one of the communities that runs on horde but they do tend to run later at night. I play with RR on ally earlier than that at times. And then I solo que most of the time other than those times. Alliance is packed because of the move due to racials being op. Players flock to whats op… cant change that.
I wish people would explain how they were certain it was a premade
-Stomps are not confirmation of a premade
-Coordination is not confirmation of a premade (people coordinate in blitz just fine without coms)
-Your whole team being dead is not the sign of a premade
-Running into the same players on the enemy team during non-peak hours is not the sign of a premade
-Losing and/or going 0-5 is not the sign of a premade
How do you know you didn’t have one? There are bad premades, and if two premades fight each other one of them has to lose
You find 1-4 other people to queue with and queue up, you don’t need anything special. Maybe join a community or two, although if you play like the average pug I doubt people will go out of their way to play with you. If you don’t, then they will probably go out of their way to play with you
Unless you mean q-syncing, then just don’t even bother
Who said this? This complaint has largely been ignored for years by everyone who has any control to make these decisions

I’m pretty confident when I see the same five+ people across four games that it’s a premade. Especially when they’re all the same server.
Rest of your comment is hypotheticals.

Lol, same server is how you’re determining they’re a premade? In off-peak hours? That’s like announcing you have no idea how to spot a premade
It’s insane people still use the “same server” method to spot premades when this hasn’t been a thing for well over a decade
Same server, same groups over numerous games. You start to recognize some names especially when they have successfully stomped you and your teammates into the ground.
I don’t know what you’re trying to get at here, except arguing to argue.
With my guildies 5 man we were both on his side and against… and it was preferable to be on his side lmao. 4.1k honor level is something for sure.

It should be obvious, I’m pointing out that blaming premades for your loses doesn’t hold up when you don’t even know how to spot a premade.
If you don’t know how to spot them how do you even take your argument seriously?
Same server
Coordination
Stacked OP classes
Stomps
Running into the same people in off-peak hours
These aren’t valid ways to confirm premades
I wish premades were as abundant as people claim they are, would make games far more fun
Dont worry about Ohbob.
He is a premader and will try to “debunk” by claiming that what your facing aren’t premades when you’ve already shown you know how to identify premades.
Truth is, Random BGs and Epics are infested with premades, join one and stomp pugs, or don’t join and hope for a fair game which are few and far between
LOL right? Dude (or chick, no idea honestly) is insane!
