Some suggestions for premade PVP

[Havana]

Snore... bore... cry... more.

Funny to see "cry more" from an idiot who never goes outside without being in premade.

If only you had a clue.

This way casuals play with casuals, the hardcore PvPers duke it out with others of similar motivation and skill.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the ranking system has no relation to skill.

The entire suggestion like many many others before is fucking retarded, and you should feel bad.

Disable multiqueueing instead

1) Premades should be matched against premades. Groups of over 5 people (for WSG) and groups of over 7 people (for AB) - ie. if more than half of a BG is premade, they should be thrown in a separate queue, where they are queued against players with the same group size.

OR

2) Average ranking. Take the average rank of players that queue and match it with a similar average in the opposing faction.

OR

3) Keep all current mechanics, but introduce PvP Rank Brackets. ie. Rank 1-4 players in 1 queue. Rank 5-10. Rank 11+. This way casuals play with casuals, the hardcore PvPers duke it out with others of similar motivation and skill.

All great ideas. BUT these are extremely hard and time consuming to implement from a programming perspective. Simpler solutions are disabling multique or queueing as a raid.

Not that anyone running the server cares that their system is 100% broken

I actually saw Monkeynews get completely destroyed without a premade or a pally earlier this week. Some warriors can hold their own without being babysat, other warriors not. It was sad enough that people were speculating if he had sold his account.

I have been in several of these games where 2-3 rank 1s are matched against an entire rank 10+ premade. This is not fun for either side.

Yeah, pugging as alliance many fun.

15 games = 15 dodgemades and alliance 50% team missed, or more.

Benjeh is standing 1 last week. Pretty sure he didn't get that from dodging.

Here's the least bad solution : you can't queue in any battleground with a group of more than 5 people. A 5 man premade has still an advantage vs pugs but much less than a 10 man premade.

And you mix that with no jumping allowed between bgs + random battleground queue.

I just lost an AB game because of this bullshit. We had 3 bases locked down and BS was on hard defense.
This should really be taken away now.
