Increase Honor gains for losses in unrated modes

I think its a net positive to just increase honor gains for the people getting stomped on against premades, blizz made it official that premades arent cheating or game manipulation and i think thats fine but for the ones not doing premade activities why not just give em more of a reason to queue up into a loss for more honor? I think itll slow the bleeding of players in pvp and give ppl some incentive to grind honor levels, conquest is a similar issue of the most efficient farming methods being cratefarming with a premade group using rdy tracker and multiple shards being locked down, maybe more honor and MAYBE conquest would bring some incentive for the mode. I get the whole “uhhh thats a participation trophy” and ur right but pvp rn is in a state where we need participation trophies like more honor for losers, premades will be happy with shorter queues, and losers will feel ok at best from better gains for losses. 2 birds 1 stone, both sides happy

edit:dont say compstomp, thats 1 or 2 weeks of a season at most i believe, pvp should be decent honor gains at all time, considering its basically treated like a minigame in shadow of the pve content, i think more honor is a great addition since honor gear aint important once ur in conquest and honor gear aint amazing in pve either

I agree with this.

I’m bad at PvP, but I do enjoy participating sometimes.

I mostly avoid it because I know I’m just dragging everyone else down. If the compensation rewards for losing were better, then I’d be more inclined to participate.

And make the weekly for battlegeounds/arena a participation thing while you’re at it. I’d love to participate in some battlegeounds as part of a weekly event, but I can’t win.

Another huge thing aswell is when ppl meet a premade in ebg. They notice it and leave either before or after the first battle occurs, meaning they think a deserter debuff is worth it compared to just losing and gaining like 200honor after being stomped on for 15min straight by 40 coordinated ppl, i feel like 1k would feel alot better for losses

Not only this, but unrated mode wins need to give way more than like 18 conquest.

In MoP winning a random BG gave significantly more conquest than it does now. Kinda crazy, actually, how poor the rewards are.
