Ban premades from Under 50 Battlegrounds (or remove DM)

If you ever queue for random BG you'll notice it's almost always a Deathmatch, as the queues as being influenced by geared out premades winning games 500-30-10.

Under 50 is already unbalanced enough:
  • Level 10's and level 49's in the same games
  • New players and extremely experienced players in the same games
  • Equipped gear (if any) is all over the place
  • Certain key class skills (CC especially) unlocked earlier than others
  • Certain setups (like WW) don't have effective counters at low levels

We don't need to deal with Deathmatch-only (that random queue gets filled into) players (who just want to farm lowbies because it's easier than fighting on even footing) down here too.

    I think premades at 50 are fine, sub-50 premades are not and I agree with you.

    People running premades on twinked out alts against newer players because they can’t do well at 50 needs to stop.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    First of all, you dont seem to understand the scaling system below lvl 50 or you would know that the better stats a lvl 10 has easily outweight the more skills and passives you have at lvl 49.

    Second i have to agree with the fact that you shouldnt go premade, just to do well in below 50 BGs.

    Even though i mainly see other modes than DM if i queue for random nonVet BGs.

    Also I personally dont really often see premades in nonVet Bgs and if there are any they normally arent any good and often arent capable of killing one decent player. (PC EU)
