I hope this plea somehow reaches/gets Blizzard’s attention.
Since you insisted on having cross-realm BGs, which was never part of the Vanilla experience, why can’t you also, do us the courtesy to, adopt the “system” where if you queue as a premade group you will fight a premade group. There is simply no fun to be had when all you do, when solo-queue, get you paired against premades.
You say you don’t want players to “ruin” other players’ gaming experience, and yet this is exactly what premades do.
Never had this size of a matchmaking pool in vanilla though. Both the realm population caps & the battlegroups themselves were significantly smaller than what we have now.
Are you for real?
He’s not saying they aren’t an organized group of people, he’s saying they are queueing at the same time and therefore technically not a premade, so there’s no way for the game to tell the difference and match them with other “premades”.
They gather in specific / allocated discord channels with ~40 specific ppl to build certain setups, that is pre-made / premade enough per definitionem.
No I’m not, and neither was he. You’ve managed to completely miss the whole point of the discussion.
Hear me out again: yes, premades exist. Literally nobody is arguing otherwise. But no, the game can’t tell a premade from a pug, because they are queueing individually, so what OP suggested (matching premades with premades) would be either impossible or very unreliable.
Actually many are arguing against it in previous threads, with some very lame sophistry.
^ this part is actually possible to handle from a systems PoV. It’s just that they haven’t properly dealt with it, nor even acknowledged it is a thing yet.
Blizzard have actually never acknowledged premades surpassing their artificial limitations on premades to have ever been a thing.
