stamdammered✭✭YesI vote yes but they would have to fix the premade issue, a 6 man premade will absolutely roll 6 man pugs, worse than 4x4x4 in my opinion. At least in 4x4x4 if team #1 is a premade monster you can battle it out with team #2 for second and still have fun.Edited by stamdammered on February 26, 2019 4:57PM0 -

Objective modes don’t work with 3 teams since once two of the teams start fighting, the 3rd team gets the objectives. Dm is the only mode that functions somewhat ok for BGs.
CS:GO, LoL, dota, overwatch, wow, etc are all 2 team based because it actually works for competitive gameplay, whereas 3 teams does not.0 -

It really depends. 6 solo Qs, yeah probably, but a 5 man and a solo Q or a 4 man and a 2 man could still be fine.0 -

It's only dynamic when there aren't any premade groups involved. The "better" a team plays, the less dynamic it becomes. Have you ever played Battlegrounds where all 3 teams were full 4-player premade teams? Because I have, and it usually devolves into a giant merry-go-round with everyone avoiding combat as much as possible (other than Silver Leashing when possible to try and burn someone down 4v1).Seraphayel wrote: »
If Team #1 charges in against Team #2, chances are Team #3 will be the prime beneficiary of that decision. They'll just hang back and wait for the right opportunity to ult-dump and AOE execute spam, collect points, then avoid everyone else until it's time to do it all over again.
Just as an example, there's a video on Thogard's twitch channel where our team took just shy of 11 minutes to get our first kill of the match. But hey, maybe we're just a bunch of no-skill newbs right? What were the other teams' scores at the time? 75 and 30. That means there were a grand total 8 kills/deaths in the game, with just over 4 minutes left until it times out. The final score was 120-90-30, and 4 of those last 8 "kills" were due to people getting knocked into lava (at least 2 directly died because of it, and a third got pulled and wrecked because his team was dead).
With only 2 teams, this boring strategy of avoiding combat for most of the game simply wouldn't be a thing. I still think that 6v6 is the wrong team size, unless it's limited to objective-based games where people are forced to split up a bit, but this 3-team business simply doesn't work well in Battlegrounds. At least not in cases where people play death matches "properly," and want to win.

6v6s with control points to ensure teams split up would be ideal imo0 -

✭YesThat would be awesome! Wouldnt Mind getting rid of 2 premade teams Vs 1 random team, oh and fix MMR too 🙂0 -

✭NoNope. Anything 4+ is leaning towards a zerg. I can only imagine how 6 blockades or 6 pet sorcs would look like if 4 isn't bad enough alreadyEdited by PhoenixGrey on March 9, 2019 1:44AM0 -

Doesn't matter if it's an objective mode like control points. Teams would have to split up to win.2 -

✭✭OtherI like 4v4v4 for three way fights, but for more competitive fights between just two teams, I prefer 3v3. It forces more hybridization for roles because you have fewer people to cover all necessities and focus damage is less extreme, so something like a full tank with guard makes less sense.DAGON - ALTADOON - CHIM - GHARTOK
