So premades are... actually a problem

Rolled a premade last night in the brawl actually. So I don’t really care who it’s against.

In fact most of the games from the past 2-3 nights have been against at least partial premades.

Completely ignored my other newer post in relation to premade vs pug in order to move the topic to a different avenue(gear).

I know it was in order to avoid admitting you would not be happy if your premade had to “practice” in random Bgs against other premades. Nice try tho bro.

You keep using the community argument. How convinient.

Someone needs to be here to remind low CR players that they’re opinions aren’t valid, that they are terrible, that they shouldn’t even breathe the same air as duelist+ players.

So I notice that Horde premades are a “no-show” for Southshore vs Tarren Mill, what’s up with that? Seems like only Alliance premades/partial premades have made an appearance on the field

Like, legit haven’t seen a single one appear so far and I’m in there spamming every single day… Torturekilla premade, Inemia/SAS, Warsong, etc are strangely no where to be seen. Or maybe they’re queuing at odd/weird times/at 3 AM in the morning? Idk

Anyways, just felt like sharing that observation, seemed odd to me since some of these guys were saying they would show up etc - but I’m just not seeing it (been chain-queuing it/spamming it every single day this week)

Yes and no. It’s one thing for someone to not utilize queueing in a group of friends, that’s their fault for sure because it is an MMO after all. However, it’s another different thing entirely to not utilize a weird tactic of syncing a queue, queueing at the same time, and dropping queues whenever you all don’t get the same pop.

It would be impractical and counterproductive if everyone utilized that sort of play because theyd be screwing over the queues that they dropped. In the end, you’d still get premade community syncing queues vs a pug somewhere along the line, which is still unfair no matter which way you look at it.

Another difference is, premade communities can (for the most part) choose which classes/specs are in the groups they’re syncing.

Even if most communities don’t class stack or if your specific community doesn’t, that’s not to say communities in general can’t and haven’t done so in the past. This applies to ilvl too, you can choose players with a higher ilvl to be in your groups.

It’s because premade communities don’t want to fight other premade communities. Maybe some don’t mind it, I know Alec enjoys fighting other premade communities, but for the most part the other communities don’t want to, because what follows after premade vs premade is a war on the forums, Twitter, or some other platform where they smack talk each other. Some don’t want to deal with it.

We fought some old Horde community in the brawl night before last. Wasn’t any of the above mentioned.

Or they just don’t want to queue SS v TM

I mean in general, not just SS v TM.

They do queue epics.

Not saying they don’t, I’m saying some premades don’t want to fight other premades.

We havent premaded in a long time, most of us are waiting for the new season.

Most don’t mind fighting premades. Are there some individuals who don’t? Maybe but it doesn’t represent the majority.

Never said any of that

I always just say we shouldn’t balance the game around the very bottom level of pvp

Gives no reason to get better

Basically you start balancing the game around people who don’t actually play the game anyway, and then it ruins the game for the people who actually enjoy it

(Yes I consider 1200 solo shuffle the bottom of pvp)

I’ve only lost one SS v TM this week. We queue for it when folks request it. I enjoy it. Melee doesn’t.

ive seen sas, torture and alec all in the brawl. maybe its the time you’re playing?

It’s an odd week between seasons with folks doing other things. I suspect the intensity will ratchet back up.

It’s not that popular. Most treat it as a one and done.

I typically like it. It’s nice to just go into a brawl and… well… brawl. This week was especially rough for it though. Not only did we have the usual lag, but everyone was struggling with nameplates as well.

People like the idea of a normal TDM though, I wish we could add a 15v15 to the regular rotation.

I feel like I’m the only player in the game that didn’t have a nameplate problem. :dracthyr_shrug:
