Seems like 80-90% of BG lately are premade and it has made me tired of PvP

If this does not increase the waiting queues, your suggestion could be wonderful.

i will be free in april :expressionless: working 6days a week rn x)

Slavery is outlawed, you know.

Depends of what country :dracthyr_hehe:

its not slavery i promise ^^ its a good job, well paid and with good people

its not for everyone tho

i do it every winter, brings alot of satisfaction

people always assume its premades when someone are from same realm or russian/german+… i do bgs often and do not often see hardcore groups who q normal bgs atm. the bg brawl mix up faction and servers. And i sometimes end up with people who are from my server or glad/2.4k exp in my team. i am sure people are assuming another premade. What should blizz do? not allowe people to q with friends?

TLDR: people are pissed at premade queue syncs (more than one group of friends) involving average at best players who only win because of mass healers and boomies with externals.

Again most people don’t care about one premade group or a group of friends playing together. It’s the premade queue syncs with 10-12 healer stacks with 3-4 boomies standing in aoes, spamming instants/starfall, being spothealed like a tank on patchwerk all whilst they are fed externals. It’s the same formula everytime and there isn’t a trace of skill involved.

On rare occasions these players will queue solo and miraculously their performance is average at best. You watch them just stand in front of their team trying to damage and immediately get destroyed because they have no army of healers with them.

Just fix queue syncs (making sure last message isn’t a random discord link from sombody with an inflated ego).

Just believe in miracles for another 10 years :slight_smile:

Looking forward to Blizz’s take on premades. I think the classic issues have really brought it to their attention. (Making sure the last message isn’t from sombody with an inflated ego)

Just did IOC and it was 40 vs 22 in our favor from the start. We had docks, hangar and workshop, the gate down to 76% then bam premade with Alfredo got in and we lost everything.
Guessing it was so low Horde players for a few mins since the premade of 15 was struggling for a bit to get synced

Should have just hard defended Hangar with 30 or more. What are they going to do? Even with a premade.

I think they just got us by surprise. Looked like an easy win from the start and maybe no one noticed the premade got in before it was to late :smiley:

Atleast there is only 8 days left on my sub. Told Blizz in the reason for canceling is premade problem.

You cannot lose an IOC with the advantage of the hangar, just by defending it at all costs and being attentive to the glaives if they have dockss, it is an almost certain victory against premade or against randoms, also against Alfredo who is pathetic.

I mean, at least 80% of games is pre-made, and horde wins maybe 1/10 epic BGs. So as solo queuer like me, there is no point in ever playing epic BGs, especially on something useless for bigger BGs like warrior ^^

Do you mean queue sync premades joining with more than 5? Then 80% is completely unrealistic. It’s more like the opposite. 20%. Not even that, actually. 10% of rounds have a queue synced premade in them at best. The other rounds are against a mix of solo players and small groups.

I get that facing premade raids is annoying, but let’s not blow the problem out of proportion.

I would say I lose more rounds because my team somehow manages to screw up some of the most basic stuff, such as not using bloodlust in the first zerg, afking at the start of an isle or wintergrasp match etc.

Also lmao at Horde winning only 1/10 rounds when your own win rate in all epic bgs is above average.

I almost never queue epic BGs, but when I do once in a blue moon, I always merc as alliance since chances of winning are higher.

Does Alfredo only communicate in Discord? I have seen him many times and he never gave commands in chat like other premades, in fact I never saw him type anything in chat.

Yesterday evening into the night I did 9 epic BG and was queued in regular BG inbetween.
The first 2 epic I got in was against randoms and we won both, the next 5 was against the same premade then one against random and then against the previous premade again.

I queued a lot of Ashran only today to get Dwarfstalker (500 kills) done, mostly alone, and faced a lot of premades. 1x Harmonia mercing on Horde, 2x Alfredo in my team, 3x Zendefine on Alliance.
More than usual in around 12 rounds of Ashran.

I can’t shake the feeling that you are more likely to end up with or against premades if you go solo compared to going in a small group which I usually do, where I hardly ever come across a premade raid.

I can’t really put my finger on why exactly that is and might need to observe it more to draw conclusions, but playing in a group seems to make it less likely to encounter queue sync premades on either side.
