Enable Premades again

[Ìmmortal-azgalor]

Now that season 3 is almost upon us and honor will have additional value, please, for the love of god, enable preamdes so alliance players who want to try can actually play battlegrounds.

As it stands on live, you can play 12 hours a day of EOTS, for days on end, and not win a single game. It is beyond depressing. There are so many afk players in any given game you don’t even have enough players to report them. It’s crazy.

Please, please, please, put this back in the game so Alliance players are not completely screwed as they are currently.

Nah I’ve been just facing pugs ever since they implemented this so if you want play against premades then go play retail

[Ìmmortal-azgalor]

Yeah, and you’re losing almost every single game so it won’t really matter, will it?

[Lockboxjoe-earthfury]

Nah git gud

[Stillstylin-benediction]

horde loses plenty in EOTS … i was just there (i swear it wasnt my fault tho)

[Ìmmortal-azgalor]

To other horde maybe?

[Rarecandy-faerlina]

Pre-mades were re-enabled - I’ve faced several on AB weekend. Others have posted screenshots on reddit of facing pre/mades as well

What is happening with the premades? Do the queues just not pop or did I miss something since I thought they were allowed now?

Someone was complaining recently about always going against Bene premades in another thread.

[Ìmmortal-azgalor]

I think it just looks like premades because everyone is on a total of 4 servers…

You can still make 5 man groups.

Bene is now the main Alliance mega server, so of course Horde will be fighting them all the time.

You can premade again, the system just tries to match you against other premades now, which is how it always should have worked.

I assume he means he wants to able to steam roll pugs again.

You’re right, that part makes sense.

Blizzard said they reenabled premades though so I was just wondering.

Ziyrus may be correct.

[Ìmmortal-azgalor]

The last post I can find from them is from September saying they disabled premades.

[Mcg-benediction]

Premades are currently able to que battle grounds as normal.

A group of 15 players can que into Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm.

A group of 10 players can que into Warsong Gulch.

Here is the last blue post upon the subject:

The Return of Large Groups in Battlegrounds

With the next weekly Burning Crusade Classic reset in each region, all “pre-made” groups will again be allowed to queue for Battlegrounds. After this hotfix, grouped players will primarily face opponents who queued in groups of similar sizes and the matchmaker will now match raid groups of 6 or more players against at least one group of 6 or more players. If the total number of players in your raid is smaller than the maximum size of the Battleground, the matchmaker will automatically fill you…

These types of threads and posts, lack of self testing and research, is all together too common in regards to TBCC PvP subject matter. There’s much misinformation commonly dispersed with no regard.

This is telling of the types of players these are. Lack of self reflection, study, and discipline. No will to learn and become more skilled. Lacking awareness of what’s happening around them, poor character positioning, unwillingness to change and adapt to the enemy player’s moves and cooldowns used.

All together, increasingly frequent as time marches on. The gap of player ability and experience along with mindset is the furthest it has ever been.
