Battlegrounds are just a joke

At this point i honestly have no words to explain this horrible experience, i have made a post about this many times actually trying to find an explanation. Whatever faction i play i lose. I log my horde character to farm honor i get omega stomped like no chance of winning 1 in 10 games is an actual game where a game is contested and my win rate is 1 in 15 which is a joke. So what i do i log my alliance character to try and take advantage of this winning streak to find out that i am getting omega stomped on alliance aswell. Before you blame "me " as the cause of the losses this is not a joke. This is such a horrible experience, as i have mentioned in my previous posts in my free time i like to bg or level characters but mostly pvp, this game though is a joke…
This week i got a weekly of doing 4 wins in battlegrounds and honestly i dont think i will be able to complete it. Whatever team i play on they are a bunch of trolls fighting in the chat and ignoring objectives just to get a few kills. Honestly this cancer is becoming as bad as playing overwatch. What can be done to fix this? punish trollers? timed bans on pvp on all chars for their whole acount just to prove the point of not trolling and teacch them a lesson??

How can this be fixed? Also been experiencing this for as long as i have been playing but honestly this is getting tiring…

You play horde. Get stomped. You play alliance. Get stomped “to take advantage of them winning”.

Two words.

Common. Denominator.

yeah but shouldnt they fix this, should we start looking up are games played and share them on here just to prove our point??

queues are rigged or
you face premades with lot of undergeared ppl
or bots/honor leechers/dps meter chasers maybe?
dont know but its not fun now

Yeeeah, this is a silly week, when the weekly is 4 BG win, and the 1500 honor is also in rbg… one would think, if anything this would be
incentive to win the bgs… yet?
Not, quite the opposite

I have experienced this many, many times! I even faction changed a few times because of it, and after the faction change I had the same problem.

You are more than likely being unlucky and facing premades, which personally i think is ridiculous, premades should only face premades! But hey this is blizzard!

The game right now is in the gutter, never seen it in a worse state.

The amount of copium in this thread lmao. “Just unlucky mate, every time! Only facing premades!”. There’s one common factor, and it’s you.

Some evenings you get lucky with alot of wins and some other evenings you get a lose streak due to incompetents confusing bgs with arenas and just farming hk in the middle of nowhere with a few sprinkles of afkers on top.

But seeing how you post on a horde character atleast you are able to queue as both factions. So you can just join the side wich is winning alot that moment.

But yeah in general the pvp system needs a rework. A personal rating and solo queueing needs to be a thing. Just so afkers and leavers get punished with their rating. The current pvp vendors with honor as its currency promotes afking and leeching too much. Marks of honor would have been a much better currency for the catch up gear, just so people would have to try to win to get their catch up gear.

Or you can merc and find the matches you join there are losing too. There is no guarantee either way. But certainly no harm in trying.

If you are unlucky yes, but there certainly is a bigger chance to find a winning side when you can queue as both sides. I honestly don’t know why they haven’t made mercenary mode a thing both factions. For both pve and pvp. It only seems like the right thing now with these unbalanced end game populations

I have merced as Alliance and been pretend Horde but not in any recent expansion. It’s a pure queue relieving option.

Yes it was a good relief option when the population swayed between the two factions. But at this point it has been a horde feature due to the fact them having the biggest population. Wich will not chance for long time as it now. The relief function turned into a reward for having the biggest population. In the meanwhile the alliance keeps bleeding out players.

Relief is nice and all, but it shouldnt permanently favor one faction. With alot of other cases blizz wanted to give people a reason to join the other faction. mercenary mode takes away that very same reason for pvp.

You could say the same for the War Mode bonus, give the Horde the 30%.

It would defeat their purpose though.

Not really, I mean what can you do if the majority of your team has just dinged 60 with 0 renown traits, 160 item level, no legendary, no versatility etc. They get stomped and whether you pull your own weight is pretty irrelevant at that point, you’ll get stomped. Not to mention afkers, people who don’t try, people who give up as soon as your team is at a disadvantage, etc.

Honestly thats fine with me, the removal of pvp servers and the addition of warmode ruined wpvp in general. I loved playing on pvp servers even tho it basicly was a horde server on emeriss. But it still was more balanced than the horribly sharded warmode, wich snowballs out of control due to people being bale to opt out of it whenever they want.

warmode killed wpvp

I opted out of WM this expansion, with the blessing of Anima not giving any power gain I could happily retire back to the world of PvE :slight_smile:

The WM bonus did even out at some stage but I haven’t kept up with what it is now.

Yeah same here, i only turned it on so far for ganking 25 people in the maw when the quest was up. But BFA with its horde mode traumatized me.

Even tho i used to play on a horde dominated pvp servers the horde mode during bfa just showed me how laughable warmodes balance was. Atleast during legion i could have some actual proper pvp encounters instead of being 10 manned wherever i go

Personally I don’t think WM works but it gave them an easy way to relieve PvP realms that had imbalances where people felt stuck without paying for a realm change.

I just wish they made WM an optional thing for pve servers. I loved pvp servers and the dangers it brought, and recognizing players wich were hostile or friendly in previous encounters. Warmode took a big chunk of fun out of the game for me.

But i guess sharding wouldnt work with the old pvp server system
