No idea if you are one of the ones who have been spamming this issue, but as have been established over and over again in those threads… what you are asking for is literally impossible to be made against the ToS. As what you are asking for is for two people to queue at the same time and be put into the same BG into a bannable offense.
That’s what you are actually asking for to be a bannable offense, and that’s why making that change won’t ever happen, because it is a genuinely bonkers thing to insinuate is a problem.
If you dislike this to the extent that you say you dislike it, then that’s on your head to play other modes. Because people queuing for random BGs isn’t something that Blizzard is going to make a bannable offense.
Nah, I typically mention it when it is brought up, but I don’t spam about it. I know what has been said, and saying “It’s impossible” is kinda wild.
There is a clear and obvious fix for it, it was actually done in SoD and worked out fairly well. If there is a premade on one side, make em wait for equal amounts of ‘premade’ on the other, or close to it. If you wanna go with 5, cool, then put a party of 5 on the other team. Don’t stack 8 parties of 5 on one side, then toss all randoms on the other. Ya gotta wait a bit longer, but hey, it is what it is. When people tried to circumvent that by going all solo, it did a very good job of shuffling people who all queued around the same time.
It’s a simple fix, that already exists in one version of the game.
No, people want to stomp. Playing with friends is fun for sure, don’t get me wrong. But that is not why those groups exist. If that was the case, they wouldn’t go out of their way to avoid eachother most of the time.
They exist because premades are the most efficient way to win games and farm honor. They are also very much aligned more with the spirit of the game than solo Q is.
Random matchmaking. How can they avoid if they also can’t exactly choose?
My own angle. You literally said… your own words “They exist because premades are the most efficient way to win games and farm honor”. AKA Stomp. People want to win and win fast, so they run premades… it’s not a “I wanna play with friends” thing, it’s a “I only want people with gear and who can communicate in a casual BG scenario on my team, while the other team has none of that” thing.
I can spell it out for you then: They either add eachother on a toon or two so they know when the other groups are running. Or they just have scheduled times that don’t line up on purpose. /Who is also still a thing, though less useful these days. A lot of them also have a streamer or two.. so just checking a stream.
AKA Communication and cohesion usually wins over the lack thereof.
Sounds like you have a plan to not deal with fighting premades in Solo Q anymore, lemme know how your premade does! (play with friends in one is the secret)
Yup, my plan is just to never run epics, like many others in the community, until the issue is addressed hence our little discussion, and my whole reason for posting!
Playing with friends is fun! I run it down with 1 or 2 other people pretty often. Playing with a group of 39 people trying to game a system is not “Playing with friends” though. Glad we could establish that
Slayers rise wpvp has been the most fun I had it years. Keep this stuff up. Just get rid of the weird gimicky wpvp items that cause damage for world quests to players and it’s solid 9/10 from me.
Training ground honor is already quite low for the time invested. Hilariously, the honor is still better than getting graveyard farmed by a queue syncing premade on discord, which is the actual problem with random battlegrounds. Blizzard should fix that.
Yeah, just a whole lot of opinions. Just like my statements. The only fact is, Blizzard currently does nothing, and has not made a statement on this in quite some time.
The only ‘Bad Faith argument’ is, ironically, you claiming I made any ‘Bad Faith’ statements at all.
I wasn’t aware making a very blunt observation was an insult, but I am speaking with somebody that clearly sees their opinion as fact, so it is what it is.
hence our little discussion, and my whole reason for posting!
