Hi Blizzard team and fellow players,
I want to highlight an issue that’s making random battlegrounds one of the worst experiences currently in the game for new or solo players.
The overwhelming presence of premade groups in non-rated BGs is to much.
Every time I queue whether it’s on my fully geared Alliance or Horde characters the result is the same. We don’t just lose, we get completely crushed every singel game I play. It’s not even close. For me the enemy team is always a fully coordinated, targeting together, rotating objectives, and farming kills. Meanwhile, my team, just a group of randoms, has no chance to compete.
This kind of experience is demoralizing, especially for newer players who just want to try out PvP. It doesn’t matter how geared you are if you’re solo, you’re at a massive disadvantage. And I really don’t believe this is how Blizzard intended casual battlegrounds to function.
We need a solution.
Please consider adding a Solo Queue version of non-rated battlegrounds, where group queuing is disabled. This would shuffle the teams more to create a fairer and more enjoyable space for solo players to actually learn and enjoy PvP, rather than getting farmed by premade death squads.
Rated content is already there for coordinated teams. Let random battlegrounds be a space for individual players again.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this issue gets the attention it deserves.

I’m in complete agreement with you that the problem of premades in random and epic battlegrounds needs to be fixed. It’s killing casual pvp.
I don’t really care which of the many possible solutions - of which your idea of a solo queue option is but one - Blizzard uses as long as the problem just…goes…away (and, of course, isn’t inadvertently replaced with something just as bad or worse).
BLIZZARD, FIX YOUR DAMNED GAME!!!
It’s getting long past ridiculous.

And please no “but both sides have premades” argument when its not even correct that it always happens.
I just want blizzard to fix something that might bring the enjoyment of casual PvP back to me.

Agreed they should make separate ques only premade and only solo its easy and the only solution and dont come with ques will be longer cause will not be and even so most of us will prefer a fair game and long waiting than quick and wipes farm at graveyard

“But both teams have premades” and “you need git gud againts premades” type of person is the worse type of creature in any social environment.
We are talking about game which is product we paid for. We can say anything about it because again we paid for.
Then some user came and said “blizzard cant do anything, you just need git gud, you can solo carry, premades are ok,…………”
We are user and you are user too. And you complain about another user and defend company which is we all paid for.
This is ridicilious. They are worse type of people, they are more royalist then king and their viewpoint not bad for only game, it is bad for real life too. If they are not child and they are working somewhere, sorry for co-workers. We are talking about paid product and they are yelling us. This is insane. We are users and you dont paid us because we are not product but the game is. Dont be royalist then king.
If anyone complaining anything about game then your answer should be about game not about complaining user.
People keep complaining about premades, but Blizz are too lazy to do anything about it, I just wanna have fun doing random BG, but premades ruins it

The problem isnt entirely premades itself when it comes down to it. Not entirely atleast.
The problem is when you face one while having none on your team and that happens way too often to my liking.
The chance of facing syncers completely ruins it for me aswell regardless if some people argue “it rarely happens” when thats not the case either.
If both sides had equal amounts of premades etc ppl might been slightly less frustrated from it but the biggest issue is that you can literally have 0 (in normal bgs) premades on your side while the enemy have full stacked on the other side.
I stopped queing after getting 4-6 undergeared on my side while facing maybe 1 slightly less undergeared on enemy team and rest fully conquest geared. Several times within a week. I dont play that often which makes it worse. The game is not fun when its already decided before the gates opens.
So it would be interesting to see if a solo que for normal bgs/epic bgs would work. If its enough players who would play it that is. It has to be like blitz though where its not faction based or you could see syncers joining it to destroy it.

Just force premades of 3 people and more to face groups that have same amount of people playing together - Would it increase the queue time for premades - yes, but it is their freaking choice. If System would put them against the full random party, then reward for premades must be lowered by 33% for each additional player above 2 in the premade group.

I like everything. Great game. Always have a choice. You can play with groups of people or in one group, you can play solo. Keep it up, Blizzard!

The behaviour of you premade people is so disingenuous and selfish that it disgusts me.
You know that what you’re doing is destroying the enjoyment of the thousands of average casual pvp enjoyers that you play against and now from what I can tell, it even looks like you’re finally destroying the whole bracket…and yet you act like there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing.
Then you say, ‘Well, there IS nothing wrong with what we’re doing because Blizzard isn’t fixing the situation. If what we were doing was wrong, Daddy Blizzard would come and punish us’
Just because Blizzard refuses to effectively enforce its own rules, that does not make what you’re doing OK.
For all that it’s easiest to get angry with you guys for what you’re doing, I have to remind myself that really it’s the deadbeat absentee father, Blizzard, that is the root cause of this whole problem.
COME ON, BLIZZARD AND FIX YOUR DAMNED GAME!!!
The fact that you people will have your cheap sad thrills taken away from you (I mean, really, what kind of person gets off on endlessly stamping on the faces of a weaker opposition day after day after day?!) when Blizzard eventually does fix this will only give me the greater joy.

Solo queue is a bit hard these days from time to time but quite balanced since both sides can win. Tbh, I have 4 pvp geared characters and I hop on to another character everytime I don’t find a bg that rewards enough kills. (I’m farming the 250k kills achievements)
I make 1000 kills everyday, sometimes even more, so I’m satisfied.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t, that’s part of the game.
edit : I made 2k kills today

I confirm, brother, everything is fine with the game and nothing needs to be changed.

Are you so afraid to play vs other premades?

If only they would unite EU and US regions on the battlefields, that would be great. There are many more premades in the US region. We only have 2, boring… That would be the best change from Blizzard

Small BG: Russian premades.
Epic BG: full of Syncers/Premades.
If you queue solo you queue for a lose 90% of the time.
I don’t know how much longer i can endure this BS. Premades need to be forced to play against other Premades.

I will never understand players OK with premaders (Q-syncers).
The selfishness is unreal.
Honestly, it’s a game.
They ruin the game of everyone with awareness. They should be banned for this.

Apparently there is no problem whatsoever according to some posters here.
