I am so sick of playing agaisnt premades in random bgs

These BGs are ancient in gaming terms. Many players have been at it for literal years. A lot of people knew the Strats for winning before some of the participants could pick up a controller, the easiest Strat is don’t go solo if you don’t have to. You don’t know if your teammates are trying out builds and don’t care about winning or trying their new “play WoW with my feet” content for their community.

the game does match groups. end thread.

Doesn’t seem to be the case very often in non-rated BGs…

I just said they should be able to queue together.

L2 read lil bro

But only in epics?

Those are battlegrounds

So are Random Battlegrounds.

Awesome. Glad we agree

Except that we don’t, because you want people who play Random Battlegrounds to not be able to play with the same people they can play dungeons with.

iirc it doesn’t take into account group size or item level and to make ques faster sometimes they get put against a team without one.
random bgs are random.

Why do you keep bringing up dungeons?

This is bg forums dude :joy:

Because players can queue for dungeons in groups of 5.

If you restrict groups to 3 in random battlegrounds, you are actively making the game worse for players who already have their friend group from PvE, undoubtedly the largest portion of players.

People can queue for raids in groups of 20

If you restrict groups to 5 in random battlegrounds, you are actively making the game worse for players who already have their friend group from PvE. undoubtedly the largest portion of players.

The restriction has been in place since Patch 3.3.3. So, ~2010.

I’ve always advocated for this. Chances are higher to get premades but I know it doesn’t force groups into this, I wish it did

Not all do. Randoms are the only place 5 can queue up and play. RBGs need specific comps, more than 5 and are dead, blitz only allows 2. To me it’s ridiculous that people don’t understand this. where else is a group of friends supposed to play?

Pure speculation. Sometimes it’s true…and sometimes they’re filled with some of the best players in the game. Assuming every premade is a no-skill group is like assuming all pugs are multi glad multi hero players. Neither is true

^^ unrelated to the above I see 2 hidden replies, I assume Theadreau is yet again replying to me thinking I’m talking about sync queueing when I’m very clearly not and calling me an exploiter? lmao

Pretty much.

Not surprising, he can’t read anything without assuming it’s about sync queue premades. Isn’t he a rancher or something IRL? I wonder what he assumes is sync queuing against him on his ranch

That’s what they say and apparently they’ve had medical training (for treating the animals), although considering they don’t bat an eye at homeopathy, I wouldn’t want to be treated by them.

Uh oh, just hope he doesn’t want pandas on that ranch

Sorry OP, I agree n dont like it either. Thing is with player pop being soo low the premades might be the best we get. In RBGs w friends we keeping running into the same dang teams, participation is dying.
