So, when people co-ordinate on discord when their queue pops for premades, it lets them get a full premade.
But what if, we say, give another 10-20 seconds of prep time in the start of BGs, then randomly stagger players having queue pops in a 20-30 second window or so, so it becomes impossible to co-ordinate when they all accept queues: they can not longer with confidence know they’re going into same BG.
Why would we even play epics BG? What’s the point in that if you can’t play with friends?
Just one correction.
Simple solution, implement the rule, if you are playing in a group of two or more, you will be queued against the group of two or more in the enemy team.
Additional solution, if group declines to enter the BG for any reason, they will be punished by deserter de-buff, that would last randomly from one to two mins, buff would scale in duration for each member in the team, multiplying the de-buff time by the amount of people in the team. If those players would queue again and decline to enter BG again, than deserter de-buff would be increased in two times. Third decline would end up in an hour long deserter de-buff.
Fair enough, another good place to start.
