What is the worst part of a zerg group to you as a solo player?

    None of those. I don't PvP often, but most of the time I see things like dawnbreaker and poison injection on my death review. None of those other things really get me.

    None of the above.

    If i'm solo in Cyrodiil and I see that there are zergs afoot, I type "lfg" in zone chat and hit "ENTER". Usually less than a minute later, I'm no longer a solo player.

    Rinse, repeat.

    The worst part is knowing that you could kill 90% of the people in said zerg but you never get the opportunity to because they never travel alone.
    Zaghigoth- Orc Stamplar
    Soul Razor- Altmer Magsorc
    Les Drago- Redguard Stamdk
    Eirius- Altmer Magdk

    Running my first PVP character with only 30 riding speed. My problem is by the time I get to the party the action is over...... bit like RL really. Also, an off topic but I can capture a resource solo with my PVE healer or DD but my PVP blade just dies. Using same tactics and techniques but without Vigor...soon have it though

    The person wearing earthgore saving an overextending zergling you were going to punish
    Ball groups of 20+ people with min maxed builds chasing down one guy / a small man group at a time makes the game lag out worse and makes pvp less enjoyable. They run away right back to crown when they are about to die. The way ball groups work is they literally just dump ultimate abilities at the same time over and over again to wipe smaller groups and pugs. I can't even cast abilities or go through keep doors properly when guild groups like this show up at a keep. Maybe one day Cyrodiil will just be giant ball groups of people going after each other. Whoever has the best "crown" yelling for ultimates to drop and the most earthgores in group wins.

    The fact that they can kill me and I can't kill all of them with push of a single button.

    Slightly biased poll. lol

    Where’s the option for having multiple ults dumped on you in a 1v20?

    When 6 players ulti dump you when you're alone but back off when randoms show up and even the numbers.

    Oh wait thats small scale groups. For zergs probably the snares then tbh.

    The fact that they'll still gang bang me even if I'm all alone, not engaging, not there to PVP at all, and still get stun-locked, CCd, poisoned, swarmed and hit with 2 meteors when I was just there to grab a quest. AND did not bother trying to fight back. They sure must feel OP killing a wandering casual in 2 seconds. I don't even remember ever dying im Cyro to snipe tbh. It's always something else.

    And from a casual's PoV, the worst part is they are now everywhere. Used to be that as casuals, we'd run into other casuals and the fights were more or less messy, but there was definitely a chance for victory even for a small group. Lately literally the only thing I have seen in Cyro are nearly unkillable ball groups who just go round and round curbsomping anyone they touch while being immune to damage, snares, ultis, etc etc etc. It is not fun at all to fight these groups. It's all 'be part of the zerg or GTFO' mentality. I guess that explains why there are no small groups/randoms left. They must have fled to BGs.

    There is constant complaining about zergs...and its true, its no fun to be a solo player and get run over by one, but in the end Cyrodiil is about LARGE SCALE COMBAT. Going to popular combat spots will result in zergs battling it out...that is the whole point of keep fights. As a solo player, or small group you have to look elsewhere for smaller scale stuff...if you go to the zerg stomping grounds...you are going to run into a zerg...what a shock.

    The idiots who potato up to Alessia's FD or Aleswell walls and then try to light attack it down instead of setting up a siege and protecting siegers. The same people who light attack from the walls during a defense.

    Also a special shoutout to the zone generals who get pissy if the organized raids don't obey their every callout.

    This is the real answer. When you can't even fight the otherwise pitiful collection of players because your skills don't even go off due to lag.

    What I like about Zergs is that they will stand grouped up in a shooting star like “ain’t nothing going on” and wind up on their BACKS! Hehehehe. I hate when they won’t rez out afterwards, holding up kill counter lol.

    The snipers > The healers > The DKs > The wrath spammers.

    The wrath spammers might defacto chop 20% of your health, but they are nothing compared to the level of *** that a snipe can bring. The DKs are annoying and a bit too noob friendly cause they can spam foss until it CCs without a cost but are rare and have to be melee. Healers are near broken in how easy, effective, and safe they are.

    I enjoy 1 v X but if you don't know when to disengage and move ya booty then you are going to die. There's a lot of potatoes but fighting a full blown zerg in Vivec is fun but you will eventually die. Just fix your stuff if you need to and start killing them again.

    Though my only real problem with Zergs is when two fractions are working together helping to take keeps or defending them.

    Though solo play gets boring, so it is always fun to be with your special someone and your guild mates and friends. :)

    Also, sounds like you are more bgs and no cp PvP from your salt. You just need a good coordinated group, well not that good and you will have fun. Bgs is pretty simple but much better if you are set up for it. Lots of noobs in bgs that don't really put anytime into their builds or even understanding how to play PvP in ESO.

    This. Who in their right mind will attack a zerg when they are solo? Essentially the OP is asking who is crazy enough to attack a group of 20 while solo.
