Just can’t get away from it. Stopped doing epics because of it and now it’s becoming commonplace in regulars. Completely ruins the game. A bunch of players that can’t win without cheating.

It is in rated as well from Shuffle to blitz. Game is a disaster at this point.
Lack of foresight is the culprit. Many of us foresaw this coming and it was laughed off. Their inability to nip things in the bud so to speak has put pvp into a horrid state.

They know it’s happening and simply aren’t addressing it. Why is anyone’s guess. If the average player can’t do the most accessible form of PvP, they will never set foot in anything past it. The game is just rotting at this point.

Agreed. It has turned into China wow where there is pay to have boosters carry for any progress. All exploited. It is a shame but this is entirely on the Dev team for not addressing all the queue synching issues. They could easily have put in content for them and let them join as a group but they did not. Shame really.

It’s been nothing but premades all day today.
I’ve been playing horde and alliance and it’s been nothing but premades on both sides. Ironically they seem to be fighting each other only once every 4 or 5 matches.
This game’s matchmaking is terrible and Blizz needs to change it up.

Yea, seems like it. I have been doing regulars a bit more lately. Both to test some stuff out and to warm up for Blitz. It’s like a 1/3 of my games were complete one sided stomps in either direction. 1/3 or less were fine, with the rest being either full or partial premades.
Joining a game and seeing the entire team you’re facing is fully geared, has 3-4 healers, 2-3 rogues, 2-3 hunters, and a host of other meta specs is incredibly boring. Meanwhile your team may or may not have any healers. Half the team isn’t geared or has no idea what’s going on.
I cannot wrap my head around it. I just don’t understand the point of doing content that presents no challenge. The game already has enough blow outs.

I bet most people just don’t have a lot going on in their lives so premading to stomp pugs is the only dopamine hit they can get.

Probably some of it. I could understand it in small amounts, but these players with 1,000s of matches played with 80-90% win rates… I just don’t get it. What sucks is so many players have no idea what’s happening. Had a group earlier that just completely melted down. One player was just bad mouthing everyone and a couple others joined in. Meanwhile, it’s overly obvious the other group is a near full 15 man group. It was obvious from the start. They’re bad mouthing the two healers we have, who were actually doing fine considering. But why would anyone want to deal with that garbage? Not only are you having to play impossible matches, but then if you lose, it’s also your fault.
Neat.

I’m more active in random BGs than most and I don’t really see that happening ever. Not intentionally anyway. Never seen anyone counting down in community chats like they do for epics. Never seen people recruiting for a group larger than 5 players.
You definitely get ‘accidental’ groups bigger than 5 on occasion. I’ll be solo / duo and end up on a team with a bunch of people I know, especially when there’s fewer people queueing like later at night or late in the season. There also just seems to be fewer random players queueing because crate farming is so popular, which means multiple premades are less likely to be spread across games.
idk the stacked groups are definitely a pain to slog through and not very engaging to be on. But I just don’t see any evidence that people are syncing reg BGs intentionally and that kind of seems like you’re just seeing things that aren’t there because all the crying on the forums has primed you to see things that aren’t there.
ye it is very frustrating when the pugs start turning on each other when it’s really just unfortunate matchmaking.

It is common in regulars for a long time. You are just an arena player, thats all.
Adroi once again learning from me. Taking topics I’ve already discussed and trying to make it seem new. Even when you have me on ignore you are still repeating what I say lol
Its the worse I’ve ever seen bro. Its horrible that’s why no one is quing up for anything anymore. Facts its like the plague randos epics blitz shuffle I haven’t done any 3v3 this season probably bad toooooo. At this point it has to be intentional to allow all this to happen. No way anyone with any common sense does not know this is going on unless they do not play their own game. If you all want anything done you all need to start rowing in the same direction .

The words of a pve player.
Yall just do not understand the glory of fighting other players. No pillars to run around in circles all day, no dampening to help you win, no win trading. Just a big ol brawl of chaos.
That is why you cannot cope. You cannot deal with the chaos of bigger fights with no real way to control it.
Embrace the chaos. Fight together. Make friends. And.. Die well.

Was that supposed to make any sense? You cheat for wins. I just want fair games. You want unfair games for easy wins and yet you still manage to lose because you and your friends are awful at the game.
In the past I would agree. It was something that was pretty rare, but that was also true for epics. I have been doing a lot of regulars recently on my shaman and have really been surprised with how many games I have had where the entire other side was fully geared. Not a single player in blues. I don’t think that’s just random. Even ignoring that though, you can see they have basic coordination. Healers sticking with the same groups and splitting up. People actively doing objectives.
If it was just groups of 5 I really wouldn’t care too much, but these go well past that.
Seems like it. We know they knew about the multiboxxing problem for years. From the time it exploded, it took 3-4 years before they finally took any action.

I win a lot. Lots of winning. Ask anyone, I win hugely.
Irony of this is great. Rated modes are infested with actual cheating. You think people working together is cheating…

Yes, I see that. You get wins by cheating and despite cheating, you still manage to lose.
What’s the irony? You don’t do rated. You don’t understand the problem. It’s not infested, but it does happen.
This why it’s impossible to have reasonable convserattons with you people. No, it’s the stacking. Working together is fine. Trying to lead in a group is fine. Stacking a group is not.
You have an 86% win rate in AV atm and you think that’s honest play. It’s pathetic. You’re pathetic. You cheat in a video game and think you have something meaningful to add here.

They just need to make it so that if you queue as a group (2,3,4 or 5 person), you get put into a separate matchmaking from players that are solo queueing. That way groups would only get placed with other groups and solo players get placed with other solo players.

This is exactly what I was talking about in an other thread. Players dont even want 2 or 3 people working together. Anything is a “premade.”
You must have your head in the ground…. yikes.

It’s supposed todo that already, but they did say they favor expediency over fairness, essentially.
They just need to remove factions and balance the groups around roles and ilvls.
I do rated. You don’t. I’m playing at a level where I see the cheating and report it. You don’t.
You cheat and still manage to lose. Why are you still talking?
