After a few years off, I came back.
I enjoy doing battlegrounds.
Just leveled to 120 , WTF, i have 51k health, everyone in battlegrounds has at least 300k, i even saw a monk with 700k. Start bashing on people , their health bar does not even move, then i am dead.
I always got PVP gear by doing battlegrounds. There is no vendor interested in selling me any gear, the only gear i can buy are snacks.
No PVP gear to be bought anywhere.
Of course i havent won a single battleground in a week, probably because i am there (having a 51k player is like having someone AFK),so no PVP gear as reward.
I could do dungeons to get gear but i gave that up a long time ago because of all the drama queens, I am too old for all the drama.
Oh well

Do some content before doing BGs then. Takes no time at all to get to low 400s ilvl.

If you are posting on the character you were playing and are alliance, yea please get some gear before queuing. If you are horde, please continue to queue with low ilvl gear on thanks.

Do the Najatar intro and get at least one good weapon. Do quests for them to get manapearls and buy full Benthic gear. Then do world quests and emissaries and the world bosses for better gear and trinkets and hopefully another weapon. Or buy it all off the auction house. Oh and get the cloak, you have corrupted gear which has negative effects the cloak helps counter. And get your neck up and get essences.
You can’t expect to just ding 120 with crap gear and be able to hang with those who have taken the time to gear up.

It’s rough at first, but I would take some time and do WQs to get gear for now if you don’t want to go through dungeons. Those and emissaries/assaults/Nazjatar will get you geared up at a decent pace. 
The power gap between fresh 120s and geared players is extremely jarring for multiple reasons. Even if it’s not your type of content, spending a weekend grinding out ilevel through WQs, the War/Mech/Nazj/N’zoth campaigns will do you a lot of good to not feel like dead weight.

I mean, you can get gear from WQs that take a couple of minutes to complete. Can’t decide if this thread is even serious.

You’re trying to play 8.3 with an 8.0 toon. Don’t do that.

Having to gear up somewhat before carrying your weight in battlegrounds at max level has been a thing since 2004. It should not come as a surprise at this point. Do the quest to start naz and find gear specific world quests and you will be close to 385 in an hour or so.

You gotta do PVE for gear now. There is no pvp gear anymore. At least not good BIS stuff
I was doing a rare in the Vale the other day and I saw a druid w/ a million health. Was thoroughly impressed.
PvP trinket is BiS for frost.
How did you manage to get to 120 without ever replacing your Legion helm, boots and weapons?
Come on man… You are seriously expecting 110 daggers(Artifact weapon) to be any good at 120?
Gotta say though… never seen a ilvl 259 piece with a corruption before.

In legion my favorite part of this game was running dungeons from classic level up thru legion.
Now I can barely stand these people half the time.
community my rump. More like a mental institution most times.

You mean to tell me that in a few years you forgot that you need to gear up? I don’t know what to tell you.
Well chances are OP is the kind of person that progresses through each expansion relying on near AFKing in BG’s until the got the complete base set of PvP vendor gear.
It wasn’t an uncommon playstyle until Legion snapped that all away.
