Whichever dev at Blizzard thought this was a good idea, and whichever other devs okay’d the idea…they all need to be fired, because clearly they are grossly incompetent.
I’m not actually exaggerating when I say that the alliance (I’m horde) bring 120s to almost every single battleground in the 111-119 bracket. It’s to the point where I try to warn the horde team that they’ll have 120s. Then I’ll have to explain to them how and why, because they think it’s ridiculous…and they are correct.
Quite simply, they bring 120s to a lower bracket and obliterate us EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The fact Blizzard thinks their ‘normalization’ works is comical. The 120s destroy us in remarkable fashion…there’s no way we can compete.
Battlegrounds against 120s are unwinnable, and not even close.
Fix. Your. Game. - or hire someone with a few braincells to see why this was a terrible mistake.
some tuning perhaps in 111-119 but its not like they are actual twinks.they should be about 284 ilevel. for perspective at 119 you can get 300’s from time walking dungeons. for sure it is tougher at the bottom of the bracket since pvping up through legion you’d be lucky if you’ve won enough games for a handful of 185 gear and ZERO chance for any if those drops to be a weapon. maybe the problem is through level 110 bg’s only drop legion gear. its not uncommon to see boosted toons who haven’t gone to see Magni have under 30k hp at level 111. i like the partysync feature and its restrictions make it harder to play in every other bracket.
if you ever get the urge DK is actually one of the best classes to partysync into lower level battlegrounds. runeforging isn’t considered an enchant so it stays active when syncd down. as a blood DK with the right food/potions and on use BoA trinkets/neck(they work syncd)youll break 3khp in the 20-29 bracket.
If you want to compete in the 119 bracket vs the synced players, turn off your xp at 119 farm time walking dungeons until you get to 285ilvl or so (higher I lvl is better), turn your xp back on, specific queue your favorite battlegrounds then enjoy putting 120 synced players into the graveyard. You can get roughly 25 matches from fresh 119 to 120 if you stay to the finish and win every match.
Was my method of play until my game time expired and It was almost as fun as it was when there were actual twinks in the bracket.
Alliance have a lot more lvl sync groups in the 119 bracket. Nightly encounters of 2 healer, 2 MM hunter lvl sync premades. They queue for hours on end. Said group has been known to merc to Horde from time to time though.
Still, forcing twinks to not play or level out and allowing this level sync farce to carry on after bringing back the xp separation shows that the people in charge have no clue what the players want and obviously they don’t care.
Let’s not get started on the glorious state 120 battlegrounds are in…
it wouldn’t work. party synced 120’s would get steamrolled by real twinks and the xp off ques would dry up as they lose interest. the only thing that keeps twinks playing is the steady stream of leveling players to keep bg’s poppin in the 3 brackets available right now.
A huge number of people enjoy leveling up via PvP, I’m one of them. Not only that, the queues are surprisingly fast so it actually ends up being faster.
Nobody said they expect to win with crummy gear. Please re-read the post and responses…this is about max level characters (120) in lower brackets. I’ve seen very bad players, even bad gear, still provide an enormous impact for their team.
Put in a semi-competent player, which is what 95% of them are because alliance knows they can win when they do this (not sure why horde so rarely brings 120s in my experience), and they can’t be beat. Period.
Did you not read the post? Lol…you realize we’re talking about 120s in lower brackets…this has nothing to do with gear Mr Capslock.
I would have to disagree with you here.
Outside of 20-29, 110, 111-119 (sometimes) queues are painstakingly long.
Maybe for those questing or LFD it is not as noticeable.
120 party sync was set up to help these out IMO, and of course boost the flagship MAU at endgame.
If only there were more players queuing into the lower brackets.
Not so sure about that. I’ve only done the party sync thing a couple of times but each time I had nearly double the health of everyone else and naturally my stats were higher also. This was in the 30’s bracket. I had something like 5.9k HP and everyone else was a sneeze over 2kish with tank specs being 2.9k
The only downside I found was that I couldn’t use 70% of my abilities when sync’d so low.

the best geared youll see in the 30’’s are full boas with enchants leveling players. sync into 20-29 [/quote]
20-29’s sounds fun. I don’t particularly enjoy having most of abilities locked but the novelty is cool.
Not if everyone is as geared as One. Especially if it squishes me to around 300iLvl.
I popped into retail BGs this week a handful of times (20-29) to roll some allied. Had horde 120 DKs on the other side about 4 times I’d say. Their gear doesn’t itemize correctly when scaled down (no mastery etc). I found them remarkably easy due to this. Now I chuckle a bit when the 120’s come on.
Are you saying you were able to destroy them? Their runeforged weapons aren’t considered enchants so they remain. Are you a twink? Are you playing on classic? I highly doubt you’re a normal 19 rogue in retail that is destroying 120 DKs…because I haven’t seen that once, and I’m not a PvP noob.
Not only that, rogues are seriously lacking abilities by 19 so you are generally more of a speed bump unless, again, you’re twinked.
And having said that, I agree with a few of the other posters…twinks could stomp a 120 in the lower brackets I think in general, and that makes sense. Of course, the entire point of this thread wasn’t really twink vs sync.
