How is BG leader determined?

OK, I’m not gonna beat around the bush on this. This question will make me seem like I’m gloating. Please just ignore this if you think that.

Almost every single random BG I get assigned leader even if I’m the last to join. I want some concrete proof from a mod that I am getting leader every time for a reason. Can a mod confirm that I get leader in 90% of the BGs I join because of my bg exp or something?

It picks the player with the worst transmog

so you reckon if i pick a popular transmog tier i’ll get picked for leader more often?

Any improvement to your transmog can only be a good thing

OK well first of all im sorry i dont use a standard tier transmog like you and second of all i dont know why it somehow offends you so much that im wearing a bucket hat but i think i can assume its some self confidence issue😂

It’s random, and you’re being trolled.

whos trolling me? blizzard? because im bg leader about 95% of the time lol

ok tbh ive been anticipating this… but idk how to convince you that you’re wrong. i know that youre always gonna think im mistaken… but i promise you im not… i must have done 1,000 bgs since this change, and ive been leader of bgs about 95% of that time… the only time im not leader is when theres a party leader of a big group who gets it instead…

Do you have any proof or are you just mucking this up for a quick laugh like this other guy???

No, and it IS random. No need to make up false statistics to prop up your argument.

why do you think im making this up lol?? because youve never heard of it? This is exactly why i want a MOD to weigh in, not some low exp guy who obviously wouldnt know, no offense my friend…

Brother I’m telling you that it is not, I get leader 95% of the time the other 5% is group leaders… Why do you insist I’m lying lol?

CM set was perfection. No need to improve on it.

look no need to make excuses, youre the one in here arguing how cute someone looks, in a thread to the mods… lol …

Mods agree with me

do you have any other purpose here on these forums other than talking about how cute people look lmao???

Wow is nothing but a fashion show. You think people do pvp or raid for anything but to get better looking gear?

youre literally in my forum post talking about fashion while im asking a GM for an answer… are you okay my dude because this is super weird now?

  1. First it checks to see if ANYONE is in a party of 5. If there is, it gives it to the party lead. If there are multiple parties of 5, it chooses one party leader at random.

  2. If there are no parties of 5, it gives it to the party leader with the largest party.

  3. If EVERYONE queued solo, it assigns it at random.

Are you seriously trying to gatekeep random BGs with rating? lmao.

Also, Blizzard doesn’t give a crap about pvp, much less unrated PvP. Unless the purpose of this thread was to QQ about some idiotic issue that is irrelevant to the playerbase at large, the thread serves no purpose.

Nahhh. It gives it to the person with the ugliest transmog. Yall be telling on yourselves with this

Thank you for responding with honesty. Above all else I truly really appreciate you not messing with me like other people.

As another premade leader I can agree/confirm that you are 100% right about the first 2 clauses. The only time I do not get leader, as I said before, is when there is an obvious premade/group of people from the same guild/server, the leader of that group usually gets lead before I do.

But I must respectfully disagree with #3. Like I said before, 95% of the time I will get leader. This is definitely not random, as I have done literally thousands of BGs up to this point, and every single night I solo queue, I get BG leader about 95% of the time, the other 5% going to a leader of a group, or someone else with a BG exp like mine, truthfully

oh good lord, ill try my very best to not be tilted by this.

I. LITERALLY. ONLY. WANT. TO. ASK. A. GM. HOW. THE. BG. LEADER. SYSTEM. WORKS.

Why in GODS NAME DO YOU THINK IM TRYING TO GATEKEEP PEOPLE!!@?!@!@“?!@”?!@

PLEASE GOD FORGIVE ME FOR LOSING MY TEMPER… BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM ASKING HERE!!!@!@>?12

It’s so obvious that this thread is just full of people who violently disagree with the facts I have noticed over the years… Please GOD I cannot tell you enough that I DO NOT CARE what you guys think… I am asking a question to the mods and if you dont believe what im saying then JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!! I KNOW WHAT I KNOW and please just God please leave me alone this is so cruel that you keep being so ignorant towards me when I want nothing to do with your questions… I cannot be any more serious… please JUST LEAVE ME ALONE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT IM SAYING!!!

I told you it’s random, and as I’ve done well over 2k bgs across all of my toons, I can tell you from personal experience it’s random, unless someone is premading. You’re the one who got your panties in a twist because I told you the shaman was trolling you, then you tried to rating bash.

GMs aren’t going to respond to you while the rest of the game is a dumpster fire.
