Premades are rampant again

People with literal thousands of honor levels. Same groups over and over, same people over and over, winning every fight. The premades are getting worse and so far I haven’t seen Blizzard even mention it.

At what point do we accept that they don’t care and just move on? Should we all just quit epic bgs? It’s just getting sad.

That point would have been 20 years ago. Premades, and more specifically large premades have been a thing since vanilla.

Unimpressive people usually shrink into groups in order to become formidable.

You don’t see people like Ronnie Coleman running around surrounded by a full premade no it’s cause he’s a unit by himself and needs his space.

bg blitz doesnt rly have a premade issue

im having a lot more fun in blitz with the 8v8 format

sure u might run into a duo sometimes… but it doesnt feel completely crushing like fighitng 40 sweaty nerds in discord

that being said… yeah i miss epic bgs and wish i could Q up for them… but i dont rly play them anymore bc premades

i hope those epic bg premade communities r proud that they r turning away lots of players from epic bgs

That’s what I’ve done. I used to enjoy the occasional, epic but I’ve got much better places to farm honor for sockets and gems.

I don’t get how Alliance complains about premade so much when the majority of them are alliance.

Look, I’m not a premade, I’m scary, but not a premade.

Queue Syncing EBGs never stopped. I think it might be all some people do. Apparently, a bad like me can do over 2000CR in solo BG, have you tried it? It’s pretty darn fun. Edit 2200now

If you play one faction only, you might perceive matches you do really well as just a normal game that went well, even when your team had some completely allowed 5 man or smaller groups in it, or even some queue syncers. When your team is the one doing the slaughtering it is hard to complain and your not incentivized to look at who is in what guild to try to determine if they queue synced. When I am playing with my GF we play random bgs, we both only dps so we cant do Solo BG together. If we are being graveyard farmed by Horde we might mention to eachother on wows team voice chat that ALL the enemies are from Oceanic realms during NA prime time. Odd to see, but even that isnt actual proof of Queue Syncing, but we notice.

probably. look at the epic bg list lol. WG is imbalanced trash, ashran is broken, everybody hates IOC. only AV is tolerable, imo, and its still just the least annoying means to an end.

I just dont even queue them anymore. the only reason to click that button is to go for a win, which is against the odds if we estimate ~ 50/50 winrate against pugs and 100% loss rate to premades. its just a waste of time.

epic bgs = my ban list so i no clicky button

Premades have always been a thing, always a lot of them

What you really want is better separation from pugs

It’s a grindy game so you gotta understand that peeps group up for higher win ratios to speed up the grind

Ronnie Coleman can also barely walk and is confined to a wheelchair so maybe not the best example to use.

Ah yes the ultimate faction Bias.

“Horde always lose”
“Alliance always lose”

I only do EBGs if my GF is adamant that is what she wants to do with me, or if there is a quest for honor earned in EBGs specifically and earning more conquest will help me buy gear that week.

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But I feel like I win way more often in Solo BG than any other pvp mode, and it is cross faction.

The point is it used to not be such a huge problem it was few and far between, it’s now every day all day problem. There is a reason blizzard wanted it to stop.

The second you could buy game time with gold, is when Blizzard absolutely stopped caring about anything.

Group up fine, premade raid groups not. The very fact that they have 2k honor level is enough of a flag but the way it is going the game is just broken. Premade or nothing in a whole class of pvp while Blizzard…AGAIN…does nothing and says nothing is just ridiculous.

It’s like they are daring us to quit at this point.
