Fix WSG, add timer and premade vs premade only.
Ty, have a nice day.

Don’t add timer. It changes the gameplay entirely. After the first team caps, everyone just shifts to defense to try and run out the timer. Wait another 2 or 3 days before fixing premades, so I have exalted first.

then how about honor cap?
Each player only worth 10 Honor per match, more kills gains nothing 
Have you even considered the consequences if blizzard implemented premade vs premade?

Have you considered the consequences of them not? Going to multiple matches only to get 0 honor and 0 rep sure doesn’t encourage people to queue.
Anyone else notice Shadowstrike (AU) premades being actually worse than pugs? If they do end up making a premade only queue, shadowstrike probably should be allowed to queue their premades into pugs
It discourages you to pug
It encourages you to premade

You are correct, this does happen. The gameplay is shifted.
Still infinitely better than allowing games to go on indefinitely, even if they’re total stomps and the winning team just refuses to cap.
The enemy team can literally hold you hostage in WSG. It’s really, really, awful design.

WSG absolutely needs a timer. I heard a horror story from a friend where they hated these french players and when they bumped into their premade they sat turtled in a WSG above their own flag room for 23 hours. The only person on the other team by the end of it was some priest and he too winded up just abandoning in the end. This is the extreme end of things but the fact it even happened is insane to me. Like why can’t the match just be 20 minutes long or something? Look at AB. There’s a reason people prefer AB. It ends.

I don’t know about the timer stuff but do this.
Encourages me to pugstomp while being bored to tears 1 time on my main and then never play BG again because they are trash.

Don’t they already sort of have this? Like, after long enough don’t you stop getting honor from kills in WSG?
Sometimes you get prem vs prem. Your odds of prem vs prem get boosted if pugs get stomped often enough and realize they need to form premade if they want timely rep.
we are already capped…
and then 1 team gives up after first cap so they can get back to pubstomp
oops all terrible games.

What if, and hear me out on this one, premades would only face premades? And not sometimes, always. Woooow, insane epic matches, go and have fun.

All BGs should have balanced match making.
Groups of 3 should try and be matched with other groups of 3. Same with full premades.
Players of equal skill (winrate) should be matched against each other.
Players with roughly equal ilvl should be matched against each other.
Make an algorithm to prioritize these things. As long as ques aren’t overly long, it will make BGs so much better.

I had a juicy 50 minute prem vs prem one time. It was pretty awesome. Encouraging perms boosts the chances of this.
People should feel it is optimal to prem. Straight up. You should always want to prem if you could.
This with WSG timer would be great.
Nah, way too much, just fixing the premade problem it’s enough, and maaaaybe a timer.
