Premades in regs in 2.4


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Have nto seen a clear answer on whether groups of 4 will be mixed with solo Quers for regular warzones after 2.4 but if that is the only way to Q with 2 or 3 people since they can't queue in either ranked Q; I am assuming it will be like regs now.

 

Imagine the QQ to come when it is going to be a 4 man premade in an arena vs 4 pugs. the 4 man won't have to worry about the other 4 pugs in that scenario.

I have never supported a solo queue a day in my life, but I have also maintained that as long as half the team was not queued together, the advantage wasn't that great. 4 man premades in arenas will be absolutely devastating to non premades, especially with no role type queue in regs.

 

We know 4 man premades will queue regs for practice if nothing else. Please don't do this to the community Bioware. The system you have in place is horrible on multiple levels.

I can agree with you guys; but I just don't knlow what you do with 2 and 3 man groups Qing in regs if its either solo or 4 man.

 

You separate arenas and warzones for starters.

 

Then you have a solo and a 4-man queue for arenas and 1-4 for warzones.

I think premades and pugs will still be mixed in regs.

 

But for some reason we have a RANKED solo-only queue for arenas..... what the fkc?

 

So much for risk vs reward.

That's what matchmaking is for. Even though solo-queuers will be playing against premades, match-making will hopefully provide some sort of balance. Plus your solo queue rating is separate from your group queue rating.

As far as I understood the 2 are seperate. Solo ques are with role parity so you may get 4dps v 4dps or 2dps 2 tanks v same. 4mans get pitted against 4mans irrespective of group composition. I see nothing leading me to believe 4 man premades could get drawn against 4 solo puggers.

I think they said that the matchmaking they have will only be on ranked. Not regs.

Well people are going to do ranked arenas as that is solo only lol... They will get to lvl 55 and enter that one me thinks... That is unless you need to do something before you are allowed inside.

If you are solo queing, the safest option to not get rolled by a premade and be matched with similar ratings/classes is to roll solo ranked. If your rating doesn't matter (which it wouldn't if you were interested in regs), why not just go solo ranked?

Or even 4-man rated.

 

Solo rated or 4-man rated; both hold out a better chance of not getting ROFLSTOMPED than queuing unrated.

 

If

  • you are the worst solo player (or 4-man group) queuing for rateds
  • there are 20 teams queuing

 

You will most likely get scheduled against one of the other 3 worst teams. If you queue regular WZ you are just as likely to get matched against a strong team that decided troll unrated as you are a weak team.

 

If you are strong and you get bored of stomping bads (after then 173rd time) and you want a more competitive match, your best bet is to queue rateds.

 

The only problem with queuing rated in 2.4 is that you don't get to play 8v8 WZs. If you are bad, no matter the reason, your best chance of winning is to queue rated.

 

Other than limited development resources, there is little reason not to add rated matchmaking to 8v8.
