AB and WSG

Just a quick headsup before so I don’t get the usual “you just abuse playing premades all day, want easy wins” I don’t and haven’t pvp’d in 3 weeks and the last time I did (and pretty much since a month before AB came out) I went as a pug. I accepted my fate as a pug and just dealt with the losses. Yes, I have premaded both with guildies and with randoms, and it was in WSG. We still got absolutely curb stomped by any decent premade, but the games were a hell of a lot funner and meeting fellow “casual” premades resulted in close, fun, balanced games.

Here is the way things work in classic now, if you want to play good games, you put in the effort to join a premade even if it’s a “bad” one. Why? Because that’s the way the game is played now.

Honestly the majority of premades right now face other premades and 10% of the time face puggers. Against premades, especially people interested in max h/ph, the first fight means everything, whoever wins that generally goes on to get easy honor as the other team will either give up and let them win or /afk out.

I do not disagree that facing premades all the time as a pug is frustrating, of course it is, but you have the option to improve your own games just like the 90% of people have in your games and join a group. You are just not choosing to adapt, not even try the solutions offered by people here before asking for changes.

The majority of people I’ve encouraged to join premades if they’ve hated pugging have ended up making friends and… surprise surprise actually ENJOYED themselves and ended up going a few times a week with a premade (not even a full 10 for WSG or a full 15 for AB and they still get wrecked by good premades)

Instead of screaming incoherently about how it’s not fair, why not try to join/make a group and make the games more fair for yourself? I know people will have the usual excuses, admittedly it isn’t easy to do, you have to keep trying til it works! But once it does, you’ll improve your experience ten fold and have more people to queue with even if you don’t have a full premade.

I know a guy on the forums here has set up a discord to find premades for each server, it’s worth giving it a go and see if you have fun.
Here I did a quick search on the forums for a post with the info for you.

Good luck, and give it a try :slight_smile:
