Yamahara Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 8 man Team ranked wouldn’t work. We’ve proved this in the past because all the wry best people form one team and dominate. IMO, you either make it so the queue is solo only (with some basic match making) or you limit the size of premades to two people only. Adding cross faction into the mix would be even better. Not true, back when I did 8v8 ranked there was about 5 competitive teams that played nightly. Yes there was many other teams that got wiped, but losing is how you learn and improve. From the sound of your other posts about premades in the pvp section, I feel like it's more of you not liking anything grouped. I wouldn't mind a group 8v8 ranked queue and solo option though. I've been pvping since launch as well so I've seen it all. 😛😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the past it did for those of us interested enough to form teams. But as you just pointed out, you only had 5 competitive teams playing nightly, which is a very small amount of people compared to how many were playing pvp back then. Even we had more than that on Dalbora and it was an APAC pve server, not even the pvp one. Everything you say about losing and playing better teams is 100% correct. It’s how I learnt back in the day and many others did to. It was a grind against much better players that helped me improve. But there were plenty of good players around me to balance out my lack of skill. That isn’t the case these days, there are maybe 1 or 2 people per pug team that are semi competent. When you put them against a premade it’s completely one sided because 1 person can’t carry against a premade. So those the premade are stomping aren’t really learning anything. I’ve nothing against premades. I’ve been in pvp guilds over the years and run lots of premades. The concern these days is the premades are completely one sided affairs because there are rarely any others in the queue to oppose them. If we went back 18 months ago I wouldn’t even be having this conversation on premades because I would agree they weren’t a problem and we had an experienced enough player base that could deal with the premade format. The way it is now, the only way you could affectively run a 8v8 ranked system would be to either ban all premades from it so it was a total solo queue or limit the size of the premades in the teams, which I think is better than getting rid of them altogether. So I’m not sure why you think I don’t like group pvp or content. I actually love it. The problem is when it’s unbalanced like it is now, it is detrimental to the game. I would like nothing more than for my old pvp guildies to come back and play 8v8 ranked with me again.

Ed-ward Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I loved the 8vs8s. it was a golden era for me. Queues were quite organized from what I remember. There was even a tournament! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
