Full Bg Teams

Firstmep

Can one of the devs please explain why is it so hard to hardcode bgs so they dont start when one of the teams are not full?

4 games in a row the game started with my team having only 2 players, while the other 2 teams both had 4. This happens way too often. Bgs have been out for years, how *** LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FIX SOMETHING SO *** SIMPLE?!?!?!

I think what's going on is that when you start with only 3 it's because one player declined the que.

So they could put all 11 other players back in the que when that happens, or they could just let it start and find a replacement after the fact. Maybe there's a slicker way to do it but the group finder is so buggy historically I'd rather they not try and do anything too fancy with it. I think it's ok the way it is, I think the ques would be endless otherwise.

I imagine that out of a random group of 12 players there's almost always going to be one that declines. Also, being down a player for a BG is not as crippling as missing a tank in a dungeon, and a replacement can usually be found pretty quick since there's no roles.

These games started with 2 players not 3. As in me and another person.
Also it doesn't explain how the other teams both had 4.
Oh wait actually it does, because they use ppls queue position to determine teams, that's why some ppl queue up at the exact time as their friends, since it's much more likely to be put on the same team then.

What's worse is it never fills those spots later on and you are stuck getting crushed with your random partner lol.

Yes! I always just say, "Hey, don't drop. Let's just take our lumps for the AP." when the queue puts myself and one other person in a BG.

At least it’s solo que now
