So with 4v4v4 battlegrounds announced this is what I think needs to be done in order to prevent less skilled players getting *** constantly by elitists and also give the best eso players a real challenge:
Ranked matches:
- you need to register your 4 player team. You can not go with randoms on ranked games. Your team will get a rank based on 5 first matches played.
- once you get a rank, you will be matched with other teams with similar rank.
- when you lose, your rank will drop and you will be matched against weaker players
- when you win your rank will go up and you will be matched against stronger players
- every week your team get rewards based on your team's rank
This system is currently in WoW and it works great. Similar systems have been used in games like Gears of War.
Social matches:
- you can go with your team or random players.
- no ranks in this mode
I think it's EXTREMELY important ZOS includes this in the battlegrounds, or else it will quickly become a very frustrating experience, both for less skilled players and MLG pros.
