Battlegrounds and Ranking

Battlegrounds needs a ranking system, and it needed it yesterday. Without a ranking system, the teams are horribly unbalanced. While good even fights happen occasionally it's usually one team dominates the whole match and that isn't exactly fun for everyone. It's fun for the team that's winning, sure, but not for those losing.

Now then before you say git gud or something like this, a well designed game is fun for both the winner and the loser. It's an important part of good game design, and while this isn't a make or break kind of thing for a game to be fun for the loser it definitely helps people come back for more. In a 4v4v4 format where one team just dominates and everyone else is getting spanked no contest, that means 2/3 of the players are likely not having fun in that battleground. If people aren't having fun with the content they'll likely not do the content as much which will mean less people queueing for battlegrounds and suddenly all of the existing problems (the non bug ones) are made worse over time.

Edit: This is coming from somebody who wins about as much as she loses. I'm just tired of uneven fights.

    Yeah I had quite some fun yesterday, but the fun entirely depends on who you fight.

    Some teams are OP, some are not. I stand in the middle and can enjoy good fights as well as get pinned down :/

    But maybe there are not enough people playing BG at the moment ? Kinda felt like I was fighting the same OP team again and again for a while

    If you're winning as much as you're losing how is that not even?

    Because the fights themselves are uneven usually, as in one team dominates and everyone else doesn't put up much of a fight. It'd be like if you take a high school hockey team. One game, they play against a middle school team and run up the score, 20 to nothing. The next game, they play against a team in the NHL and lose by a similar score. Yeah the win lose ratio is even, but I'm not talking about that I'm talking about how even the teams are. You have people of various different skill and gear levels just thrown into the same grab bag of players and it's a bad system.

    I don't want to just win I want to have a proper contest I want it to be close and challenging.
