I am more of a PVE solo guy, been here since the last closed beta and have only repeated the story, deleted chars and repeated again, only have 1 toon from the original one lol

That being said, I decided to try my luck in PVP after 10 years, and I am getting OK, I don't die immediately as before(I HATE PVP), but I still die most of the time, have managed to kill, like 50 players in almost 2 weeks, so yeah, I sort of sucked at first, but am getting better.

Now what pissed me off is battlegrounds, I joined in the solo queue for the daily(I only do it for the rewards tbh) and I get thrown to a version I had never played, the first... what was it, 2 weeks? I got only "get the flag" or "kill as many as you can"(IDK the names lol) but yeah, this was about getting a... Cursed ball? And keeping it... I WAS ALONE

Why would the game just drop me alone like that? I thought that Battlegrounds was always 4v4v4, and that the solo queue would group you with 3 other solo people, and that had been the case until today

But that is not what pissed me, I am getting so mediocre(As opposite to abhorrently bad) that I managed to not be insta killed and I killed 5 people in total, but what pissed me off, is that around 2 minutes before the game finished, POOF, 3 other players popped in, and then we ended up in second

One had all 0, one had 1 kill and all the rest 0, the other had 2 kills and 2 deaths, and I HAD 5 kills and 7 deaths, so we did end up in 2nd place, but hell, I did most of the game alone and I ended up in "3rd place" in the group rank, which doesn't matter really, because we all did get a reward, I guess, but it did pissed me off that I was alone for most of it and then the game is like "Yeah, you sucked, 3rd place for you"
-_-

Is it common to be dropped like that, being alone in the group vs other groups that have the 4 players?
