The title says it all. And no, I don’t want to make my own premade. I want to play random bgs, and “random” should mean random. There’s a premade tab for those who wish to do premades, and ofc the Russians don’t use it, cuz a fair fight has no appeal to them. Blizz, why won’t you fix this?

Sorry to break it up for you, but Random Battlegrounds is referring any Battlegrounds of the entire map pool not who can join, have you perhaps considered doing specific Battlegrounds?

This.
I don’t condone premading, even duoing is enough to sway games super hard, but it is what it is.
I’m sorry to tell you that random BG has never meant “Random Teams”, but rather random map.

I played for 14 years from launch, left when the game turned into more grind than fun, PVP used to be fun, hard, but fun, I even managed to get Knight Champion ranking on one season and that took a lot of hours back then, this new Premade sad pathetic RU teams that Troll standard none rated BG’s because they want to steam roll and cant cope with rated are ruining the standard Bgs, it was the worst thing Blizzard ever did merging the servers, and as always lead to abuse , Ive seen game after game were they wont even let the other team out of the graveyard, truly sad and pathetic bully boy mentality

Firstly, are you sure they are Russian-premade? I’ve found that most premade consists of toxic PvP communities, which I refer to as Visigoths due to their tribal mentality. Random battlegrounds have always been problematic, with issues like item levels, militaristic premade, guilds such as East Dragons, and players farming for honor titles, honor rewards (like sockets), achievements, and gold or real currency.
I suggest teaming up with guild members to lead a coordinated effort, bringing a tank and healers along with a few macros to counter these toxic teams. The only ways they can win are by outplaying your team or by cheating.
As a suggestion for Blizzard, it would be beneficial if all leaders of large communities were required to use the authentication app.
Like what? Got any evidence or is this another thread that spreads false rumors?
How would that help and isn’t it unjust to treat these individuals differently from every other player?
@ OP what makes the Russians different from other european players that play in premades?
Because Blizzard don’t care, believe me we’ve been yelling about premades since DF. As already mentioned random refers to random maps and russians are just a faction of all the premades here. But trying to get a serious discussion here, is impossible because most who defend anything premade are playing premades themselves, and since Blizzard - unofficially - gave up on fighting premades (meaning full 10 groups or 40 man groups)- there is next to no point in discussing the premade issue here anymore.
Do premades still damage those many who would like to play pvp but not in premade groups? Absolutely, but it obviously doesn’t count.

I find your comments interesting! At first, I mentioned that “the only way they can win is by outplaying your team or by cheating.” Did you get a chance to read my entire comment or just parts of it?
So, again I believe the over-the-top militarised style farming PvP communities premade’s in Random Battlegrounds are toxic ATM, although remiss of me not to mention some are awesome.
You make some great points about the topic, but there are solutions to consider. I have tried communicating directly, using naming and shaming tactics, and even listening in on their VoIP channels. I find it amusing to observe the human reactions by getting inside their heads; using a few in-game /insults, /chicken and word bombs lol. The game is outstanding, so enjoy it (if it was always fun, then what’s the point!) and counter with your teams. PvP
To be honest, and it’s not to be rude, but I really don’t care who those players are. I’ve seen many of them writing replies here, and let’s just say like this: they don’t excel in anything they write other than being offensive.
Why would I waste my time on engaging in players who do nothing but grieve other players outside their own little community ingame and on the forums, throwing insults left and right. They are not interested in any dialogue either. To them it’s all about winning on the battlefield and in the forums here.
The sadest part is Blizzard’s part in this. I think it’s pathetic to be quite frank.
They don’t do anything to prevent premades to happen so they give the green light to playing in a grieving way against other players., but they don’t want to say that offcially. BUT God beware, if you write to somebody in chat and use the stu…word. That will get you banned.
Blizzard should make up their mind once and for all, they are so super controlling about so many things in the game, but funny not in pvp. If they made their pvp policy clear, we wouldn’t have all those tensions and dramas on the pvp forums.
But hey they didn’t react to anything on the pvp forums for the last 6 years so that’s probably also part of the problem.
let them have their fun! play blitz. random bgs are over.
and about ruskis how you can spot them in a premade is if in a random bg (not epic) there is a russian player together with eu players then its a premade (or at least a group joining)? thats because when russian players (or eu players for that matter of whatever language) join the bg from the random bg que tab they will be put together with the same language realms. so when the language realms are mixed it means they joined as a group for whatever reason (possibly premading?).
so if you see that screenshot and bam theres your evidence!
at least thats how it was before. i think. correct me if im wrong.
