ZOS: Better Variety for Battlegrounds Please

I love doing Battlegrounds but simply put I wish there was a way to randomly select a variety mode. It seems so often I queue a battleground that I get a deathmatch over and over, often in the same map. This is hugely boring. I could select to individually mix it up at a huge cost to rewards, but why? I think they could make the random queue a little more fun by ensuring different types of matches appear. The randomizer is not working as is.

    I think you'd find that it's more an issue of population. It seems that when you queue for a random BG, you may also be matched against those who have queued for specific game modes. Considering deathmatch is the most popular mode, it makes sense that you'd end up in deathmatch games more often than other games.

    I think you'd also find that fixing this would do more harm than good. Deathmatch being the most common game mode is a symptom of a much larger problem, that problem being that BGs just aren't that popular. If they separate random queues from the specific queues, you'd probably be waiting considerably longer to find a match, because there aren't many people playing in the random queue. Most people would be sitting in the specific queues, queuing up for game modes they enjoy specifically.

    That's unfortunate @jcm2606 . I like deathmatch but I also like the fact that certain different missions have different requirements. This means you wouldn't know what is coming up next. It would be a lot more fun not knowing what you're going to run into I think.
