PUG Stomping

Hey all,

I know this has probably been covered a lot but it seems to be getting worse as of late.

I queue up solo and seem to be facing a premade around 60-70% of the time. It really makes it unfun

Has Blizzard said anything about fixing this?

Hope you all have a great day!

Only fix is getting a coordinated pug of your own.

Is not only the fact that pug groups get matched up with premades is also that the teams most of the time are completely unbalanced when it comes to gear. About 80% of the time that I join a random bg, or arena skirmish one team completely out gears the other, which basically makes it impossible for the lower geared team to win and a waste of time.

This could probably be fixed if they add some sort of Item level balancing across the teams. Just get the average ilvl of one team and match it with an opposite team with a similar ilvl. I know this will probably increase queue times a bit, but I rather wait a little longer in queue and join a bg that is more gear balanced across the teams and thus more competitive and fun.

there really does seem to be a lot of premades in random bg this season

or not enough solo q to dilute them enough

Upgrade Conq gear with Honor and weekly quests

Another thing that is super unbalanced is this regard is how usually one team will have 2-4 healers and the other 0.

it isn’t that hard to balance things like that, I don’t see why after all these years they wont.

They won’t and I will keep playing with my friends .Tho I do agree about the ivl power gaps rn is severely bad but what can you do when everyone wanted gear to matter .

Let’s say I told you so this would happen back in legion but no one listened.

It’s probably the fact that over 50% of the active players are on Stormrage, Illidan, Tich, A52, and BH. Probably not as many premades.
