Or limit solo queuing to 3 losses/day.
It’s been the number one request since week one BGs were introduced in vanilla. Better late than never, but SoD is the perfect venue to finally implement it. WSG is and AB will be virtually unplayable. The meta is to stay a ghost for efficiency if you’re a pug. It’s a joke. And if blizzard wants to stop being a laughing stock by facilitating such a meta with this shoddy design here, that’d be great.

premades arent the problem, its a combination of other things making it suck to Vs one atm.
20-25% dmg reduction inflating the importance of priest healers. Simply put no one can out dmg priest healing atm, and u simply are forced to wait for them to oom. So when a non-premade fights a premade thats got 3+ priests it feels impossible to overcome. spell pushback and lack of spell haste makes it suck to get multiple casters on ur team randomly and face 4 hunter pets and a war, while those guys try and get off 3 sec casts that are pushed to 6sec than get it off and the priests outheal it.
Solution: better itemization p2 and onward for casters, runes that affect spell pushback/spell haste. Removal of the dmg reduction in wsg to make 10dps vs 7dps 3 heals a more winnable outcome where the healers either oom faster or cant keep up 1 guy getting hit by 5+.
Just make the optimal rep farm smacking some training dummy out in the world and then the queues will be back to being full of people who actually want to pvp.
Let the optimize the grind crowd ruin their own enjoyment in a corner somewhere.

Add rated BGs
This is the biggest issue with SoD IMO. There is absolutely ZERO reason a premade should go against a random pug.

I say no to the 25% damage removal. Wpvp is WAY too bursty and unenjoyable. The 25% dmg reduction plays out much more nicely. Yes it makes healers OP which is an issue aswell. Blizz needs to balance combat and health pools around the new abilities or the game is going to be a super boring and frustrating one shot fest.

Or just make your own premade hop i. Discord coordinate and win. Simple solution

The problem with this is, if 10 people all queue for the same BG at the same time, they will likely all get into the same BG grouped or not. It’s as simple as layer swapping.
Yeah i tried doing some Bgs was not fun at all. didn’t go back

The 25% damage reduction isn’t the problem, it’s priest Pom and penance. If you play any other healers the pacing is fine.
If you remove the damage reduction it will just make priests more important as they will still be the best healers and will continue to be stacked
Hot Take: I actually think the damage reduction is a good thing.
Take it away and 4-hunter comps aren’t even going to need to focus fire. They’ll just waltz in with no comms and blow your entire team up.
My warrior crits for 400-430 in the open world on casters, in BG’s he crits for 200-250. If I could chunk people in BG’s like i do in the open world there would barely be fights, it would just be “who’s getting their damage out first.”
I liked the suggested change of giving players more HP in BG’s. This allows for a less squishy “one-shot” meta, but doesn’t feel like crap seeing crits that deal half as much damage.

You should see how stupid it gets in naxx gear. Aq40 and naxx gear completely brake pvp in end game. Its a one shot bonanza in battlegrounds. And then there is that one warrior in full t3 that no enemy melee can hit. I had full T3 as a priest and would queue with my other t3 geared guildies and we would just stomp everyone.
The devs will really need to tune the gearing in later phases.
absolutely, this
So true lol. Run in mid and die then hide as a corpse away from the gy.
That is the current WSG meta for solo que’ers lmao.
And
In Ashenvale your own faction let’s you die because it makes the pvp event start faster, incentivizing my own team to want me dead.
Please Blizzard, Do something good for SoD for once.
