Returning player - 3 BGs, 2 gamebreaking bugs

Hi, I recently returned to ESO to play it with my GF. I started up BGs, the only somewhat fun mode for me, as I did the PVE, got a few geared characters so there is no point in doing it anymore. Cyrodiil is obviously Cyrodiil, never knew how to find fun there.

So I got into first BG, Chaosball. That went relatively fine, we lost but whatever. Second BG, also Chaosball. At one point I got the ball I immediatelly fell to my death and a teammate picked up the ball to get killed immediatelly after. But the ball did not drop. He ressed and still had it, not visually, but the map pointed to him, we were getting points. So we won because he stood in base despite me telling him it's not fair to abuse it like that. Well that was the first bug.

So I queued for another BG. This time deathmatch. This is not really a bug per say. but one of the teams just did not connect at all. So we were left with 4v4. Enemy team consisted from a ganker who did incredible damage, and with him a guy who was just running around often backing into a wall. Second guy was basically doing all damage with light attacks and the third just died so fast I can't say what he did. While our team was quite normal, I am a full healer so only deaths on our team was when the ganker build found some teammate of mine wandering off the group. So we crushed it.

My question is, was I just unlucky to come across so many bugs in what should be the easiest to bugfix content. Just a few small arenas, I would understand that Cyrodiil with all its mass and destructible walls would be hard to fix thoroughly, but BGs.... eh. Or is this just absolutely normal in BGs?

P.S Looking for a guild that runs BG premades on EU server.

    While I agree that chaossball bug should have been fixed a long time ago, but your deathmatch complain - not having it, you ended up in a 4x4 match which is totally fine and fair...

    Sadly, it is pretty normal.

    I myself had the rez with the ball in my base bug happen to me.
    Except I jumped down to the massive outcry of my teammates who decided to not participate in the match after that, or outright quit, because I cost them an "easy win".

    In Dragonhold, Zos tried to rewrite the group finder to make it better and more effective, but actually broke a lot of things in the process. Some BG matches have had all 12 players on one team, or teams that have 2 or 3 players start and never fill.

    From the outcry to combat/sustain/cost increase changes as well as breaking group finder more than ever before, it's been a rough year (rightly so) for Zenimax. PR wise, at least.

    The third side really helps mitigate the difference between the powerlevel of the teams as the winning team should get focused if players have some sense of tactical thinking. And the problem with balanced teams is pretty noticeable. I have no idea if there is any elo system behind BG group finder, seems like its not because I often see total newbies in my team, and other time its people who know what they are doing. Which is a shame because I feel my impact on the match is non - existent, due to the fact that the match is often decided by the matchmaking system and who got the better teammates. Which is enforced further by the abyss that is the gap between someone who knows his stuff about PVP and his build is up to date, and someone who is in the BG with no set bonuses.
