End Premades

But when you solo queue you’re rolling the dice. You might have a good team with a good comp, you might not.

Right – so why is the game pitting people playing fair against people who have loaded dice?

@Zydax-kromcrush

Even just being in a group of 4-5 friends makes a big difference against all but the super sweaty premades, especially if 1 or 2 are healers. At this point if you exclusively solo queue you’re just intentionally gimping yourself.

Only because the game doesn’t distinguish between players who are rolling /1-100 and those that are rolling /100-100.

@Zydax-kromcrush

I can tell you from personal experience, since I’m not a ranker, that my guild “premades” still get 5 capped by the tryhard rankers same as you, we even lose to other pugs. We don’t take classic pvp seriously, but we play together for fun. I don’t keep stats but I’d guess I’m around .500 in WSG/AB.

See, this humanizes you from where I’m standing, becuase between Tuesday morning and Thursday evening, 98%+ of the WSG and AB games I enter have a sweaty premade on the other end with a flawless comp that’s ready to simply steamroll my randomly generated team.

It would feel bad not to be able to play with your friends if facing a solid pug would hypothetically be a challenge to you and your team; but you have to understand the fact that other players are abusing the privilege of being able to queue as a full team.

If:

@Thromkar-westfall

• Pure Pugs
  • Exclusively single players and parties of 3 or less *

• Teams (4-6)
  • One team of 4-6 players from a single server on each side
  • Single players, and parties of 3 or less *

• Premades (7+)
  • One Team of 7+ players from a single server on each side
  • Single players, and parties of 3 or less *

• With the exception of the Team or Premade around which the 2nd and 3rd variants of these matches are constructed, the 3 player maximum from any single server applies to any and every situation where the matchmaking system intends to select a player from the pool of “Solo/Social group queue” players to fill out a team.

Then:

You’d still be able to play with your as many of your friends as you want to, with the understanding that there’s going to be a similarly sized team on the other end.

Not a big deal. WoW is a social game, I hear. So play with your friends.
