Battlegrounds Status

Can anyone give me a quick update on the battlegrounds?

1) How long is the queue time?
2) What can we select when we queue? Mode? Solo?
3) Any new rewards?
4) Any broken meta that destroys the fun?

Thanks in advance

At high mmr, 5-10m usually in solo. In group, 15m to 1hour+
2) What can we select when we queue? Mode? Solo?
Solo random, group random
3) Any new rewards?
There are some newish sets (from summer I believe and maybe from the November or whatever update)
4) Any broken meta that destroys the fun?
Warden snare fields, mara's balm, lots of things can be annoying and ruin fun XD
Thanks in advance

Answers to questions inside the quote

Thanks for the answers.

Is the DM chance 33% or it is still way lower because the other modes are more?

Is every mode played as a DM as it used to be?

Crazy king
Domination
Chaosball
Capture the relic
Deathmatch

Should be a 20 percent but it is more like 10 percent in my experience

Thanks. So it is like it used to be after they removed the queue separation because all ppl were selecting DM and then the others who queue for random always landed on DM and complained.

Then I guess tank builds are very common as they are superiors in all modes except DM.

It's all random now, only two ques. Group or solo.

DM is pretty rare, 10 or 20% as told.

I don't see a LOT of tank tanks, but the meta benefits being tank"y". So basically everyone has 30k HP, and some people really present like real tanks but are not. You'll think some good players are tanks... Until you meet a real tank.

What about the cross healing? Is the radiating regeneration still the king?

OBJnoob

Cross healing is more a cyrodiil large group problem than a BG problem, in my opinion. Most good people are plenty tanky and healy all on their own-- cross healing isn't a big part of it. For one thing you only have 4 people on your team. They probably don't all use resto staves. And unless you're in a deathmatch all 4 players aren't constantly stacked together.

It may be a bit of a problem if you run in the group que, but in solo que it isn't a problem at all.
