Apart from the fact that they're not working at the minute...
The few BG's i was able to do, and the comments I've been hearing so far... Are BG's going to end up putting good premades vs similar oponents? or we'll just ran from noobs into pro's all the time? Not playing against players of your level or similar might end up being a terrible experience.

✭✭When there were a lot of people queued on PTS during first couple days it seemed like teams were more evenly matched compared to later when there was hardly anybody queuing.
When it was working well the system seemed to assign teams so that there might be one or two of the players with higher KDR on each team paired with some beginners or low level players. A few times I ended up matched against a premade group using voice chat and it was kind of obvious because they focus fire.
Later there just weren't enough people on PTS anymore, so we were lucky if there were enough players queued for 2v2v2 after waiting for an hour or more.
Only tried BG on live server starting yesterday and the matches seemed pretty even so far.

✭✭✭✭Ran solo for a while, ran into other obvious pug groups mostly, with a rare group clearly in comms.
Ran in a 4man today, encountered mostly 3-4 man groups.
So it seems to *mostly* work. When it doesn't, you just gotta take your lumps.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub1 -

I wouldn't be surprised if we get ranked match queue in the future, but only if we first reach some point where there is some arbitrary minimum number of players participating. Hopefully battlegrounds becomes popular, but we have a long way to go0 -
Witar✭✭✭✭✭Pug bgs should be separated from group ones. Pretty much solves the problem.
This night 4 man group bravely fought against 2-1 man teams. Kind of not fair to allow this kind of behavior @ZOS_BrianWheelerEdited by Witar on May 27, 2017 5:06AMIt cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.0
