Honor levels don’t matter all that much. I see people with lower honor levels that have Glad/Rank1/Hero titles than people that have never queued a rated match in their life but have honor levels in the thousands.
It’s an arbitrary system solely based around participation. Sure, there is amount of games involved (or in the case of those that were over honor level 500 before BFA, exploitation of world quests), but it’s not a good way to measure someone’s skill in any form of PVP.

Yep, just look at Charming. Lol. Where did he vanish to anyhow?
Not from random BGs, which is what I was talking about.
I can’t say you don’t have an opinion.
I’ll take honor level 50-250 retired arena players over 500+ unrated players any day lol

charming pretty much disappeared after going on a tirade in our community on his alt so guess he had a bad day or something…
Pretty sure he’s on a work vacation to south korea for the next months
The easiest way to determine if a team has a higher chance than the other in a random BG is to look at compositional comparisons; overall competency of healers, whether the teams have meta specs (example is an adequate number of stealth classes on maps like node maps), and the overall experience of either team. Looking at any actively-worn PVP titles is usually the best method, or checking for any form of gladiator mount (including the rival mount). Gear has less of a factor unless it’s a situation where 1 team is solely in greens and the other is already full conquest. After that point, it’s all up to whether the team knows how to play.
oh. well good for him! (:
Hey, hey, you do you! I know what I know, and you know what you know.
Yeah, but that was months ago.
Some folks who get riled up are genuine casuals, for whom i have some sympathy, although i think they cry too much and refuse to pursue available solutions.
However, others who get riled up are actually elitists, who have a strange dislike of epic BGs and expand that dislike onto people who enjoy playing epic BGs. They are used to trolling regular BGs in their own “just playing with friends” premades, but it’s harder for them to do this in obviously larger epic BGs that require strategy and teamwork well beyond their comfort zone and ability to lead. Ultimately, they resent that, and the fact that people in communities have fun playing together, so their only recourse (in their minds, anyway) is to ~look down on~ said communities and the players within them. What it boils down to is they are unable to mentally/emotionally accept that not everyone plays the game the same way they do.

Dear Ms Cinco,
Will you sincerely accept my challenge to a big ballgame on Fri night? The map of choice would be Ashran…so maybe you could redeem your redemption?

They should play it the same way
peeps ask for premades to be matched against premades instead of pugs
nobody cares if people form premade groups, they just don’t want a premade wasting other players’ time due to bad matchmaking
a lot of premades form the group specifically for easy wins and better matchmaking should make these welfare wins a bit harder to achieve
You don’t even play the game shhh already
The reason premades exist is because the average pug is so horrible it takes the fun out of it. I used to be against them but got so tired of idiots queuing I joined them.

imagine getting riled up about people exploiting and cheating to win the game geez what’s wrong with you people how dare you want a fair game that doesn’t give special little snowflakes the advantage because they can’t hack it anywhere shut up guys let them have there fun… clown world
I would have posted something like this a few months ago, but that’s not what it’s about. Pugs are so bad and seems worse lately than ever. Full of bored trolls not even trying to win and people who won’t work together and act like bots. Got tired of losing because of them. I don’t always win in a premade but even the losses are fun.

welcome to a multiplayer game people love to troll and do other garbage but to bad that’s no excuse to exploit and cheat most of the “friend” groups only do it for the free wins if you were in it for fun, you would still follow the rules and play fair. Stop with the excuses do better.
