    Add the 10+ minute queues to the reward list.

    There's more premades now than ever for whatever reason. I've quit pvp temporarily. i'm not going to waste my time putting up a group and getting on discord to try and be competitive in a game that isn't competitive. If you get randoms, you ruin their playing time. If you get another premade and beat them, you just get bragging rights. No ty, not worth it.

    If you're high mmr you tend to face the same players over and over. After a while you know who's a premade and who isn't. Who's a solo queuer and who isn't.

    There are definitely more premades now then a couple months ago. When people complained about premades the response was form your own, so some people did.

    I don’t have any issues finishing the quests solo queuing, but sometimes you get poor solo queuers again and again against the same premade. I just leave BGs for the day and do something else. Some days you dominate, some days you get dominated... it’s just how it goes if you aren’t coordinating your group.

    Well if your MMR went up for wins and down for losses, this issue would solve itself over time. From what I hear, the MMR only goes up which will eventually create this situation for everyone, regardless of your skill level. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    No it’s more to it because there’s some people I’ve never seen again after reaching high mmr. Played multiple characters just to end up fighting the same people. Low mmr can be a good break from the tryhards, just too easy.

    ZOS doesn't care. They absolutely refuse to learn from the mistakes that every other mmo with pvp made in the past two decades and instead double down on the same decisions that drove players away from instanced pvp in other games. They're completely out of touch with their playerbase.

    It doesn't solve this issue over time because as your k-value becomes more and more "accurate", you lose less and less MMR points for losing. You could go 2-10 every single day in the next few weeks and only lose a handful of points because the losses barely budge your MMR. This is why other games have seasons or some kind of decay, but that doesn't seem to be the case in ESO.

    Even in my lower mmr bracket that I'm currently in if one team has even a half competent healer it's gg.

    A no MMR solo queue option would be a breath of life into what has become a stale form of PvP. The implementation of MMR has made it so I play the same 10-15 people day after day. Variability and adaptability is thrown out the window when there's no one new to fight. For a game that totes a 10 million plus active player base (across 6 servers), this is disheartening.

    Yeah I would like to see a solo option implemented but I don’t know about it having no mmr. Would be too unpredictable.

    This is a great idea. I don’t know if ZOS has given up completely on BGs or what, adding terrible designed maps isn’t breathing life in to this redhead step child that is BGs.

    I say give us new BG gear sets. Haven't we had the current selection long enough?

    High mmr games have been dominated by magicka ranged classes since they nerfed swift.

    The reward could be better.

    Take off the first or second place part from randoms.

    I do get better fights at higher MMR. But it blows having to fight the whole 15 minute in death match or whatever and then get shafted on the reward. Those good fights and close matches should pay out better.

    Good luck mate. I just leave BGs now when I'm up against organised premades. I'd rather take the deserter tag.

    And even with that excruciating pain from stapling your nutsack to your thighs, you still probably have a better experience doing that than queuing solo on a high MMR character.

    I really hope theyll implement an actual MMR system where we can see our rating + MMR leaderboards and also be able to lose some...
    Then I might be inclined to play BGs again, this ultdump, double healer, ice-blockade fiesta gets boring if you play more frequently than 1 BG a week.
    But I guess thats too much to ask from ZOS if they cant even keep the PC-EU servers running.
