Why are premades allowed to ruin regular battlegrounds? A group of try hard losers rolling over a group of randoms isn’t a challenge. Shouldn’t they be playing in rated BGs with other premades?

Are you sure they were the loser in this case? Sounds like you got roflstomped.
I’d take it on the chin and move on.
Random, unrated battlegrounds are the place for friends to play together and goof off. If you don’t want to queue into premades, play battleground blitz.

So is Blitz, apparently.

I’ve played over 1,000 random battlegrounds and I agree 8/10 matches are unfair for the average player. But I get why premade groups join RBGs and that is because it’s easy conquest/honor points. What made it even worse for this expansion is that now that you can buy and sell items on the auction using those easy honor points.
Can you imagine what it’d be like if you pugged an M+, and the dungeon was WAY harder just because you weren’t in a guild group or some other pre-organized team?
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this inherently, but the fact is that if you pug a bg, there’s a good chance it will be extra hard, due to the opposing team being coordinated. There’s no equivalent challenge in pve at this point.
Yes because that’s how they are.
PuG groups for M+ are harder on average.

It’s fine in random battlegrounds where it’s usually just a few groups of 2-5 on both teams, if any.
Not a fan of it in epics with 25-40 people synced up, especially because if they leave a queue it still forms a bg so you’ll have a 40v8 or something.
Jadis, you know what upsets me the most? It’s when matchmaking puts you on a team with players who don’t even have PvP gear on. Lol, it’s obvious they’re just there to 100% leech off of you.

Healers can queue with one other person. Are you referring to something else / are people circumventing this?
People have been circumventing it for a while now. Blitz is pretty much run by premades at this point.

That’s not what I mean. You’re saying it’s harder in pugs because you’re less coordinated than you could otherwise be. I’m talking about the dungeon actually been a more difficult version of that instance, just because you’re a pug. That’s what people doing random bgs experience on a regular cadence. They could be playing against another regular pug, but sometimes (actually quite a lot) they’ll be playing against a premade, which is like a vastly more difficult version of the default bg opponent.
I didn’t mention coordination at all in my statement though.
i have been talking about this for a while now. theres no point queueing for an epic bg anymore, because most of the games will be against a premade. and if you /afk out, you will keep getting that 15 min debuff.
Yeah, that’s the point of my post lol
Partial premades has never been on BlizZard’s radar.
Full premades in epics is on BlizZard’s radar and they seem to be monitoring the situation. Expect a resolution to this sooner or later.

Source on this? I haven’t seen any blue posts and such
I was never expecting them to actually punish M+ leavers, so who knows, maybe they’ll eventually do something about the premade vs pug that is very common during the nighttime/prime-time hours

You are welcome.
I went up against a premade in an epic BG that was composed almost entirely of balance druids. It was the dumbest game ever, and i think i have epilepsy now.

Was it Ashran? Cause I’d imagine that would be miserable to go against.
