I cannot get into BG’s what so ever. Completely broken. Started happening since Friday when the login issues was and i and most of my guild mates couldn’t even play the game at all.
Separate solo and premade queue. We’ve been asking.
it's been odd lately. MMR has been wonky.
At first i was always wondering why people would be complaining about going against premades being random, but there is that factor that you mentioned about trying to get your team work together. Communication is really an advantage and premades usually use discord and of course are either guildmates or plain buddy old pals. However the PC community has been against having voice communication in this game because [insert self justified antisocial reason here]
And yes there is time when one lands on a team and it’s instant chemistry but that is not a recurring case.

Yea you can tell you have queued into a pre made really easily... if they ALWAYS focus one person INSTANTLY. No one other than coms to explain it. Staying in a tight ball can be just common sense but the focusing of targets and changing of target focus on a dime is the thing that gives it away...
Its really boring and annoying to come against these sweaty players when you have waited for the queue.

You don't need comms to pay attention to an opponents life bar, and some people have better reaction speed than others when doing this, to the point it might seem like it was called out over audio when it really wasn't. Its just common sense to flip over and focus the guy that took a nasty crit.
There are premades out there on voicechat no doubt... an entire team with the same guild tags is an obvious giveaway, but I really don't think its as prevalent as you or some others think... and might just be a coping mechanism?

I haven't seen a single person against having native voice comms in the PC version of the game, whether it be an in-house solution from Zenimax themselves, or some form of Discord integration where in-game groups may create temporary Discord groups, or whatever.
I am curious.
You have almost all the BG achievements and a load of BG experience. Who do you expect to be playing against?
I assume the reason there isn’t a separate solo/group BG queue is that the population is not large enough (it’s why you don’t get to choose your preferred game or the map). So I would assume that a player with almost all the achievements would get put with other players who had almost all the achievements. Chances are many of these players will be in regular groups.
If players with no achievements and little BG experience are getting put in with experienced premades, you’ve got almost no chance of avoiding them.
But genuinely curious about who you would want to play with/against if you could pick the teams

Not premades, obviously. You don't pit a team of complete randoms against a fully coordinated team, especially on a platform without native voice comms. Doesn't matter if they're all of similar performance levels, one team is coordinated, the other's aren't, so you shouldn't be putting them together.

Just remove que as a group function completely.
1) Take ages to get into a game (queue for 5 minutes, stop the queue, re-queue, instant pop. As if thats the way it is meant to work)
4) While I am already in a game I have a notification asking if I want to join a BG.. while already in one..
