Party-Sync is degenerate for low BGS

This has always been a ridiculous and convoluted suggestion. It’d result in hugely inflated queue times for everyone, and they’re already long enough.

Most people like to PvP with friends. Try making a couple instead of being a loner.

Twinks, sure. Party sync is a very welcome mechanic, however. It just needs to be fixed, which wouldn’t take all that much effort. Just a matter of making Blizzard aware that the new talent trees aren’t scaling down correctly.

Reminds me of moP when there was a macro that let you pick any talent at any lvl. it got nerfed pretty quickly but was also really funny.

Exceedingly unfair.

I had a pocket healer too!

But is it? :thinking:

Tighten up those boots on our enhanced levelers!, looks like we will be seeing lots of Dragonkin in the lower brackets from here on in.

where do you think the meat is coming from for broiled dragon pvp food?

They look like cloven hooves when cooked, took a while to figure that one out.
Stam is Stam!

right!? i imagine if vers was the best pvp stat there would be a pvp food for it like stamina.
pvp food not crafted food for 18 vers.

Haha the psychological effects stuck with me.
Is there an addon which tracks how many players on our teams have that thing that does just this? It’s only one mark and permanent.

Maybe the player(s) on this team could have made a better impact?
Missing slots,white items, Exile’s reach gear still equipped.
High honor levels so they are experienced enough to know better imo.

Could this be a factor? Close game though.

What’s the downside to it, if they can fix the broken talent tree scaling?

It allows people to seamlessly play with friends, and consequently shortens queue times for the lower brackets (which can still be decently lengthy).

Like, 99% of the power differential between syncers and lowbies is the talent trees being broken. Their stats are generally otherwise unimpressive. They can’t even use items that are available to lowbies, such as engineering tinkets.

Considering how often I see people at max level asking for lowbies to queue with, I would wager that if they fix the scaling you won’t see them anymore.

In a 1v1 setting the Sync character may not be that beefy vs a properly kept toon.
The issue that I have due to design, is that the lower brackets do not have a matchmaking system set up.
There is not a premade vs premade system in place, at all.
Secondly, games will start with healers on one side vs another without.
These were removed in BFA, which allows an excellent advantage to Sync Teams.

Knowingly entering a Battleground where your team will have a major advantage due to the actual design of the system.
Working as intended, sure.
What Murdercarpet posted up top there is on the money imo.

A lot of the reason there’s so many people doing it right now is because of the influx of returning players, and the distinct lack of catch-up that would allow them to play at 60. People sync down rather than suffer being a liability.

I’ve exclusively been doing low level BGs for weeks, and my experience doesn’t jive with what you’re laying down. These mythical full premades just aren’t commonplace right now. Most often it’s one syncer queuing with a friend, and that’s very manageable.

Here is some Orc science for us.
Lets say joining a Battleground nets us a 50/50 chance.
Joining a Battleground with healers in tow, meta DPS (best bet) will allow a match an increased chance to queue into a team without healers/meta DPS.

Looks like a 75% win guarantee for me.

Thats a pretty sick way of gearing tbh you get to pvp while also not having absolute terrible gear. Remove the ability to premade for it and just let it be a solo que option maybe that would help. Buff everyones gear to max lvl of that brackets blue gear.

I have been wanting blizzard to go back to wod scalling system since legion so great we agree I guess? I dont agree with useing the xpoff debuff glitch tog et into games though.

Lol good to see you! We focused on you in the Lumber Mill bg after the Seething Shore to shut you down. It worked. All the best no hard feelings!

If Sync Characters are working with an Heirloom ilvl, leveling players in dungeon Blues (higher ilvl) should be in a much better spot.
Not sure what exactly changed but this could be some decent balancing at least gear wise.

I have run into a few fellow twinks with ilvl 130+ gear lol stuffs going to get crazy for a bit.
