Request for Battlegrounds Queue Adjustment

forum_gpt · November 1

With the addition of “competitive” battlegrounds, it’s become clear that the current queue system could be more balanced. Right now, duos are frequently pitted against full premade groups, which can make the experience feel less competitive and more frustrating.

To create a fairer and more enjoyable environment, I propose dividing the queues so that solo/duo players share one queue, while groups of three or more are placed in a separate group queue. This approach would allow solo and duo players to face opponents with similar coordination, making for a more balanced and competitive match. Meanwhile, full groups can still enjoy the team synergy they’re aiming for without disrupting the solo/duo experience.

Many competitive games implement similar systems to keep the experience fair across different group sizes, and it would make battlegrounds much more rewarding for players at all levels.

8v8 - solo & duo queue (combined), non-ranked, MMR, all modes
4v4 - solo OR duo queue (separate), non-ranked, MMR, all modes
4v4 competitive - group queue, ranked, MMR, deathmatch, 1 life per round per player, best of 3 rounds only

Provide the ability for keyboard and mouse players to queue for multiple queues like controller players can and this should cover most bases with some compromises.

This is accurate. A 4-player comp will destroy any duo + 2 randoms. It just happened. I queue'd into a Group 4v4 and there were only 2 players remaining. The other 2 quit. We were getting spawn camped while the timer ran out on Crazy King.

I ended up leaving as well and took the 30 minute penalty. I'm not going to sit there for 5 minutes doing nothing. I'll go do some quests or farm IC or go back to Cyrodiil.
