Matchmaking coming in Phase 2! Our prayers have been heard

It could mean anything. But I’m afraid it will mach up so each team has about same amount of different roles

Or just premade vs. premade get priority to match them together, same as pug vs. pug until some queue will be too long. This makes the most sense to me.

I can also form a premade against singles. all it takes is coordination. so your expectations on this matter are in vain!

Absolutely no way what so ever we are going to have 6 seperate Qs for BGs You’re dillusional. healer/GS will be the parameters.

How is that 6 separate queues? It’s basically the same queue but the priority order changes if there’s 100 premades in queue and say 200 pug teams. The premades would be matched against each other until they run out of teams to match against. At that point they will be grouped against pugs until another premade becomes available.

Who cares about matchmaking? What about premade Q?

1 premade, 1 solo queue for each BG, so 6… that’s what solo ppl want is it not ?

ah yes, premades will totally que for all 3 bgs every day that is totally a thing that happens

it’s just 2 in practice with a few solo abs and wsgs running for those who want to pvp for the fun of it

Ah yes, because people didn’t spend years crying about Russian premades in AV.

These are the WoW forums. The moment somebody sees 3 people from the same realm they start yelling ‘REEEEEEEEE Premade!’.

? if ppl need the rep they will queue up for that particular BG, but in your world that’s not allowed and i can only queue for one ? what on earth are you on about. The solo queuers wet dream is solo queue and premade queue for each bg, that’s 6, pretend all you like the other 4 don’t exist, but you are clearly splitting the player base 6 ways.

But that’s not 6 queues it’s still one queue but the matching priority changes so that it put premade v premade until it reaches a point that it can’t match a premade v premade anymore so it will then start matching premade v pug until another premade becomes available.

Basically pugs will still get matched against premades, but the balance will be better for anyone that pugs i.e they won’t be getting 9 straight games v premade before they have a pug v pug.

people will “need” rep for 1 more phase after that it’s farming honour/marks (like what’s happening now) the most efficient way possible and that’s 1 bg at any point in time

i do wonder what the system is capable of, can it do this ? can it also match healers, gs, talent tree specs too ? I’ve no idea. I’d sign a petiton for a 3 healer minimum before an AB starts tbh.

I got a feeling that it will be something simple like this because if you start using things like GS, number of healers, MMR etc then it just opens up a whole new can of worms that will start causing issues with certain groups. Like what of you have a group with an average GS of like 350 and there’s only another 15 groups available at that lvl. Those players would be getting like 20 mins queues just because they have good gear. Same with healers there just isn’t enough to constantly have fast queues and DPS would be waiting forever to get optimum team setup.

That system is kinda win win for both parties involved. Pugs get more pug games and premades still get to stomp pugs but not as frequently as before.

yes i’m going with that, the ratios will change but with some longer queues, which is fine.

This is the right decision. The people playing in premades in WSG don’t actually like PvP, they are only doing it to get the cloak.
If they fix it, it’s a nod to the skilled PvPers, the casuals who just want a game or two, and sanity in general. I see these people who love premades, insist that it’s their absolute right to fight unprepared pugs and fresh dinged 25s with their full raid comp full gear voice comms group, but who also don’t want to fight premade vs. premade and… wow. Just wow. They would be equally happy fighting bots.

It will be the system they introduced about 4 or 5 expansions in, where if you queue with a group of 5 or more, you go to the premade vs. premade queue, and anything 4 or below goes in the pug queue.

I’d be perfectly happy with there being a Premades Only queue, requiring a full team, which awards double honour to take into account the games will be harder fought. Nobody cares that the premaders are getting honour 10 times faster, just that the game isn’t fun when you’re not in one.

Well i am laughing hard these changes.
You came here for classic and this is classic wow.

If you want retail there are crazy good expansions, amazing lore amazing damages, you can see 70000k 7000k top of enemy superb for you

In p2 people will probably complain about other team having more healers, then about hybrid classes queuing as healers in dps spec
