ZOS, PLEASE fix your [snip] BG queues! I always thought even being put in a 3 man team was ridiculous, but this takes the cake! Smh..

    The worst part is that I get hit with a "Battleground Deserter" penalty for leaving this god awful mismatch.

    And that's another reason I don't step foot in battlegrounds. How can they have a deserter penalty with it working like this. That alone is infuriating. Unbelievable. I'm a cyrodiil junkie I guess we all have our things to deal with. Sure does suck.

    Maybe this is how MMR really works? Your handicapped to 1 man team because you're just that awesome compared to the other players :lol: or maybe the whole thing is just broken through and through? I like to pretend it's the former so I can feel better about it when it happens to me. I hate matches like this, doomed to fail from the start. They really need to sort it ASAP. I wonder if group queueing would alleviate the prevalence of these matches? I mean, it's always been a thing, but never this often to this degree in my experience. It would be interesting to know how it's even possible. Are players declining or dropping at the vital moment just before transition, or are there not enough players in the queue to fill?

    BGs don't make Zo$ money therefore isn't their priority unfortunately.

    Lucky you, atleast u get in xD i waited for 2 BGs matches yesterday. First 3 hours wait, Nothing. Retry second time 5 hours wait, Nothing...

    I have a theory these things happen because BGs cant team you up and against ppl with samme mmr.
    Just a theory though*

    If that happens again just take the 5 min penalty and go gather some materials.

    The match immediately ends if one team has no players.

    At least the penalty is no longer 20 mins.

    This is not uncommon and most of the time it isn't caused by deserters but the fact that ZOS doesn't seem to know how to do proper matchmaking.

    I believe the game sometimes does this to make sure those with high MMR rating lose their matches, or to favor someone terribad on another team to basically ensure a win for them. Same with two and three man teams.

    Wouldn't worry about this too much to be honest, just try again. Although it can feel frustrating after having lost the match(es) before this one.

    Now for a very important question: Did you win? :sunglasses:

    PS: I once was in a two-man team and we became second. Some players just like to fight, and do not watch objectives hehe.

    Another BG, another chaosball, spawned into a match underway into a 2-man team making it 3 and the other 2 were just waiting out the clock.

    I haven´t had such a queue time but since yesterday all my matches has been laggier than pve or Cyro.
