Put a min ilvl requirement on Random BGs

Community General Discussion

Especially on things like deep six where each player impacts the game a lot more.

Blizzard decided to remove scaling in all but name in BfA, now gear matters above all and it is utterly stupid for me, a 500kHP rogue to see enemies that have like 150k health, they are no threat, they are worthless.

If you go in with a player that is sub 200k health which is way more often than you might imagine, it is certain loss since you are pretty much fighting with 1 less player since someone with like 150k health is gonna get 2 shotted.

Imagine your BG having 2 of those in your team while the enemy team is full of 400k+ health players.

A minimum ilvl requirement is a must for random bgs, especially when there’s WEEKLY QUESTS to do BGs, having to waste more time in there cuz a 150k hp noob joined without gear is a pain, you cant allow people who have sub 400ilvl to join when it is so easy to get 430-445 gear from doing basic solo world content.

So only people mythic geared should be allowed to queue for BGs? If you’re looking for a challenge or a fair fight, queue in rated.

No I am looking to complete the weekly for marks and conquest reward since genius blizzard also decides to have marks as a currency for mogs and crafting.

And having a useless 150k HP noob in our team making us lose a deep six brawl is very very against my goals of winning to get the weekly done.

That’s a you problem. Other people who are just getting their start should be allowed to do BGs too.

They are useless, an sub 200k hp player is gonna get destroyed as most of us are 400k+, have essences and corruptions, they are a dead weight to the team that is looking for a win.

Since blizzard removed real scaling, they need to start putting ilvl requirements like they did for warfronts, low ilvls ruin the game for everyone else

Or you can just do rated BGs. I’m guessing you don’t complain when the enemy team has low ilvl players though.

That would take even longer to get, because like i said before, I dont care about challenge, only completing the weekly.

Having lower health makes G-Pyro deal less dmg

Really, its a pro move. A super flex.

Right. The game is solely about you. Got it.

How about instead we scale all gear in BGs up to a certain ilvl. WoW has too many busywork chores to do before you get to fun stuff.

Agreed, sadly blizzard caved in to bad pvers who couldnt roflstomp players during legion scaling system*(templates werent perfect but they were better than this disaster)* because of legion so now we are back to gear>>>>everything and watching players with 500khp health+ to delete sub 200kHP players in under 2 seconds.

They should, but the whole team shouldn’t have to suffer because of it. Blizzard really needs to address this in some way or another, it’s not fun losing the game before it even started.

i get the frustration, but just re-que if that happens. do dailies for 15 minutes during the debuff and you’re set. the games where everyone is sub 250k just aren’t worth playing

Sadly I am far too organized and often do small chores like dailies first to get them out of the way meaning once I start doing BGs there’s nothing else to do if i get deserter xD

Nobody cares that much about random BGs. It’s random, it’s made to have fun. Go play RBGs if you want.

Dont want to imagine someone standards that they think 2 shoting some low ilvl players is “fun” or getting 2 shotted is “fun”

RBGs must really be hard to queue for, huh.

They did address it. It’s called rated.
