Battleground Matchmaking

[Parkway]

Hi everyone.

This topic is not to rant or cry about a situation, but it will be perceived as such by many retards. In b4 ''QQ MOAR NOOB''

I'd like to ask if I'm the only one to have noticed that the matchmaking regarding premades is completely wrong? I have done quite a few battles and never have I seen a premade being matched against another premade and that, even tho I clearly knew that there were premades going on on both sides.

Every time I solo queue or queue with a friend, it's a 19 out of 20 chances that we fight a 8-10+ player premade resulting in a retarded unbalanced match. Hell, it's often showing ''not enough player, battleground closing in 5 minutes'' because it gets to 15 vs 3... yet they still 5 cap and win it before the timer ends.

Is this an issue that only I and my close friends are experiencing? Because it is quite irritating. I have loved 100% everything that I've seen on Nost so far but this really kills it completely for me. I'd like the input of other players regarding this.

Thanks

You queue into premades every match because premades dodge matches that aren't against PUGs, which means there are fewer PUGs for your own PUG to queue against.

The reason you enter 15v3 battlegrounds is because premades have their entire team queue into a battleground they dont intend to play so that one person can take the queue to help them dodge other premades.

Vanilla has no matchmaking, and that isn't apt to change. One thing the server could do is disable multiqueue, requiring you to queue for only one battleground. There would be a variety of other positive benefits (ie. the honor for standing 1 would decrease, making it easier for everyone to rank.) This has been suggested, but seems unlikely to change.

Since everyone is dodging, where does that leave the actual competitive PvP?

Competitive PvP on a vanilla server?

In Quake 3 arena and Darkfall where it belongs.

Dont post things according to your own biased experience please, not ALL premades dodge, ive been playing in <NOPE> premade (now NOPE/ Riding DIrty) for more than 5 weeks and we havent ever dodged a single game, but yeah we see "allmighty" horde dodge us every day and we also enter these "empty" games you mention against the dodger horde grps (making us having to win a 5-0 against us, which aint rly a problem vs these guys).

In my opinion giving warnings to this dodgers or avoiding jumping in qeues would help this problem to be solved and hopefuly would force premades to at least enter the game and so pugs would meet also other pugs more frequently.

No need to state the obvious man.
