Players did not want scaling that is too fair. Welcome to PVP wow style

Just go in with your guildies, get 9 of your best geared folks and que for Warsong! It’s lovely. So many HKs.

Just got to learn to work together better. A 500k Hit-point person cant do nothing against two counter classes usually
So many times I see people go in one at a time or two and get picked off
usually melee classes like warrior or death-knights.

Why are you in a battleground at 375?
Go do some world quests.

You can win if your team has better corruption effects. They need 2 different brackets, one with balanced or capped gear, and one for free for all.

26

you dont win, you lose and move on its random BGs there is no rhyme or reason,

I have won 10 straight and lost 10 straight in randoms, it is how it goes.

Because I hate grinding PvE content at cap.

My end game the second I hit cap has always been PvP.

There may be some scaling involved, but it still seems very skewed toward higher gear is better. I have not globaled anyone in a bg, but I have come close with stormkeeper and blood of the enemy crits. There are some enemies that do fall over dead pretty easily. At least that has been my experience.

Actually… Quitting in that scenario is how you “Win” that BG.

When you quit, your slot is refilled on the fly. and when enough low geared quit, well geared player MIGHT come and fill their slot and even it up, and potentially turn the tide.

I have joined losing games in progress and turned it around before. I have lost winning games where opponents crap healer dropped out and was replaced by a gladiator.

It happens.

Is this new? I remember doing AV in classic for tokens to buy mounts and 2/3s of out them weren’t even level capped let alone geared.

Bring back pvp templates. The one thing they did right for pvp in legion and they removed it.

that was single handed the worst thing they’ve ever done to PvP hands down forever

they did not do that right at all

  1. Shame them before the match.
  2. Tell them to kill healers.
  3. Remember it’s a random BG.
  4. Sign up for rated BG.

So you’ll just be quitting 4 times per hour then

Exactly

If a guy in mythic antorus gear showed up, he brought hell to the opposing team because his item level increased his template by a %

36

Disagree it allowed people to play without getting crushed due to gear vs skill.

No it didn’t lol

Even if the people who only got gear from Argus (not the raid boss), they still got obliterated by ones who did raid/mythic+

I hear this all the time

you know what happens when you’re skilled at PvP? you usually have good knowledge of the game so you already know how to acquire gear and if you didn’t know how to acquire gear at least you know you’d be getting PvP gear soon in the old system

The templates were one of the worst changes ever in the game and there is good reason as to why they didn’t keep that cursed system

No one gets to walk into a raid and own a boss, they have to get geared up first, no one walks into a BG and gets to own everyone, they get geared first too.

Nah it worked pretty well and significantly better than bfa.

Then you truly didn’t play BGs often in legion
