What's Up With All the 8-Man Premades in PVP Regs?


Recommended Posts

So over the last few days I've seen a large increase in the number of 8-man premades in regular PVP matches from both sides. Why? Why not just do ranked? What does it prove?

 

Today I got facerolled on my Vanguard by a mostly We Haz Cookies team in Huttball that almost shut down twice. Since I normally play Imp I immediately jumped on my Sniper but was then facerolled by a mostly Goof Troop team of 8 in Novare that was shutdown early.

 

This seems really silly to do on a PVE server. Both teams were queuing at the same time so why didn't you guys queue for ranked and spare the rest of us?

 

I also ran into 8-man premades Friday and Saturday nights.

 

FYI...I also think it shows that a lot less people are queuing for PVP for this to even be working.

why bother going to the trouble to organize a team to verse in ranked, that could take up to 30 minutes to do, when you get just as much fun out of facerolling with your mates on a voice program, while ragging on each other

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit is it?

 

As I wrote above, these 8-man teams were queuing at the same time. The organizing was already done. Had they actually pressed the queue ranked button they would've faced each other. Instead, they decided to showcase their skills by roflstomping 8 pugs.

I think the real issue here is that you don't have 7 mates.

 

No, the real issue is you and others are apparently too bad at this game to actually win with four so you have to resort to queuing with eight. I've played against you a number of times and I know why you need to resort to this.

Sorry.

 

I was under the impression that some of Goof Troop had alts in We Haz Cookies.

 

I would laugh so hard if they were faction switching after every face-roll match just to troll all the PUGs who switch factions when they lose matches. :rolleyes:

 

I'd totally do that, just to feel the rage. :eek:

just because it looks like 8 people in the same guild doesnt mean it is, could have only 7 people but the point is unless you organize precisely when to que and form for ranked you cant really do ranked... and just because they are a premade doesnt mean anything ive qued against an 8 man premade having 4 Ghost infantry on my team along with a fellow guildey and we rofl stomped them plain and simple just need a decent team and have pvp gear on

I'd imagine people are ramping back up in prep for 2.4.

 

Queing for 8v8 takes 16 people with a crap load of patience and that won't be pissy when they get rolled by a guildy.. Everytime I do it I ask myself "Why'd? we do that again??" It's way more fun (and the same comms) to just spend that hour pvping instead of queing and requeing and requeing... and waiting... and requeing...

 

Hopefully with the addition of 3 arena maps in the general que, it'll be even harder to run a 8man premade in regs. Hard to say though, the que is still messed up since 2.0 launch and they haven't thought to fix it (6 hutbballs in a row).

You're right. Oh wait, I haven't played a game of PVP on the live servers in over a month. /Getsomefriends.

ranked has been broken since it originally became available. not enough people que for it to make it worth while. same 2 teams going at it over and over gets boring fast. you can't que 8 members in regs anyway, that is just luck of the draw if you happen to get 8 people you know in a reg match.

 

4 man ranked is coming, hopefully they have it worked out to make it worthwhile and fun. if so, then the premades will most likely be queing for that.

 

If not find 3 friends and make your own group, like the rest of us.

If having an entire group consist of their guild makes them win, how does that make them bad? Your logic baffles me.
