Here’s a link to US forum post regarding the situation with premade.
Basically it looks like they won’t be changing anything and if you’re someone who doesn’t want to premade then you just have to suck it up.
So if PvP is something you’re interested in doing throughout SOD then I suggest you role a meta BG class for each phase and find a good premade. Premades will most likely only get worse as new ranks & BGs drop. I would say you can look forward to AV, but unfortunately that will also be filled with 5 man discord mega groups all clicking at the same time and joining the relevant voice channel when they eventually get into BG.
You heard it from the horses mouth. If you want to play solo they don’t care about you, what matters is premades have fun fighting other premades and you just happen to be the cannon fodder in-between those encounters.
It’s good they made their intentions clear and I guess people can now decide if they want to invest their time into SOD.
WHO could have seen this coming after it being this exact way for 20 years? After the thousands upon thousands of calls to do something about the problem being completely ignored by Blizzard? Naaaaah fam, ain’t no way! Surely this time was going to be different?
Nobody seems to think of this from a premader’s perspective. We WANT to face other premades, NOT solo players!
Blizzard, stop pitting us against solo players. After 70 games and all 70 wins, we want a challenge. It is incredibly boring to face solo players every other game, who just give up before the game even started.
I am sure other organized premaders agree. We want to fight other premades!
The thing is that wow is not meant to have raids and premades and sh*t until lvl60.
Up until lvl60 SoD going to be a long journey of agony for casual players and pugs.
And im not sure people are willing to spend 6 more months with toxic people that write toxic things in a post that is 100% legit.
basically i bet alot of people will stop playing when they realise that everything up until lvl 60 is just out of control when it comes to classes, gold farming and toxic premade retards.
Casual players also pay a fee to play. And want to enjoy it.
While toxic people just want to say bad things about other people.
Lets be real for a hot sec here, you think people come to Classic to seek fairness and balance? People who play here know very well that Classic, of all Wow iterations was probably the most all over the place as far as fairness and balance go.
SoD does not change anything in that regard, just changes the actors a bit.
Clueless dev trying to make it more complicated than it is.
random vs random → fun
premade vs premade → fun
random vs premade → not fun
How hard is it to understand basic matchmaking holy sh*t?
Couple this with the insane imbalance and class stacking in the game and you got yourself something that you would rather wash dishes instead.
