If you end up in a group who is not top tier pvpers and the other group are several top tier pvpers they are probably much more organized and more experienced then the other group even if they dont know eachother.

I dont know if there is a trick to que in friends in the same group in battleground solo matches?

Sometimes a player says "stay close to eachother" and that helps alot especially with the cross healing.

If so then ZOS is doing a very bad job in balancing groups...

They stated that they were working on improving mmr.

However, it doesnt take much at all to turn something somewhat balanced into a one-sided affair. For example, one team having a healer and the other not having one can make all the difference in the world.

So, mmr can only do so much. I will stand by my belief that a third team really solves for most of the balance issues, including healing. Zos has made their decision on format for now, so all they can do is try to improve the experience and the only way to do that is mmr, and a few tweaks to prevent spawn camping. My suggestion is to make mmr directly proportionate to KDA. This would help with balance issues, probably better than anything, anything outside of a third team that is.
