Battlegrounds are now a much more enjoyable experience

Mariusghost84 · March 2020

I dont often post other than asking questions regarding builds, but i wanted to express my gratitude towards the devs for making the BGs a much more enjoyable experience. With no premades, BGs are now a lot more fair and fun! I had no idea that this would affect my BG experiece as much as it has, obviously i was up against premades OFTEN and didnt even really realise it.

I've had overall more fun in BG as well, it does suck theres no way at all to queue up with friends though. there should be a system to match premades with premades and solo queue with solo queue.

No one comes to these forums, especially the PvP-oriented ones, to give compliments. Come on now, you should know better.

Still the same, theres always the one team full of good players that stomps everyone else.

I had a friend quit over this. So it certainly is not everyone's cup of tea. They were only doing duos with a friend - but it was what they enjoyed most.

Solo is awesome this way

But at expense of removing group / duo play totally, it's not cool.

I haven't touched bg's since this patch and I will not touch it till I can play with my friends again... if they still play by then...

MaxJrFTW · March 2020

Yes, they are. Games more even now. Will be even better once the mmr stabilizes. As of now you got high level players mixed with newer ones and games end up being a lottery, whoever has the most former high mmr players wins.

I am also pretty happy with the change, teams feel way more balanced than before and suddenly it got more fun. Queues are faster. Wonder if it means more players are trying out the changes or people find it more enjoyable and play more?

It may just be bad luck who I have groped with, but I have found it much harder to win or even place second in BG's since the patch. Go figure

I've had two 6+ minutes queues during Sunday primetime and multiple games where my team is missing people. The match making is no better than it was before.

I only did BG as part of a duo when a friend or guildie wanted to run a few matches. Since they took that feature away I haven’t done any BG and I doubt I will again.

I’m glad people are enjoying them, but there’s a big part of the population who have quit them altogether over this change.

To you they might be, to others it's horrible as they can't play with their spouse, friends, guildies ect.. Also they had reset MMR so you were getting a very mixed bag of skill levels. Things are settling now though so lets see how it goes now that people should be getting more skilled opponents to match their own skill. Not every group that was steamrolling through people before the patch was a premade, some just happened to have 4 people who knew what they were doing and actually worked together.

But your not fighting coordinated armor sets and skills of a committed team.

Im ok with getting stomped but the other way was on another level.

The patch hasn't made a difference at all. I've found BGs to be even worse now. Most games I play have at least one team with less than four people. There's still a team that's clearly better. I've played probably 30 matches since the patch and had maybe 4-5 games where it was actually close between first and second place. It's a shame we can't group with friends to gaurentee we won't be shorthanded...

Conduit0 · March 2020

I don't see the difference at all, every game one team utterly dominates. It feels like to me that teams are being grouped by MMR, so high MMR players all end up in a group together and the other two teams end up being made up of low to mid level MMRs and get steam rolled by the high MMR team.

My bud and I can’t que together anymore for BG so when I see him. IHAVE to be the one who kills him. Lol

4 times queued with players what stands on spawn and from time to times they move to not being kicked out or just light attacking other team players entire BG. If anyone finds it enjoyable is rather crazy or noob with no PVP experience.

BG this days is not about skills but about luck. If you get player what knows how to rotate around group and focus one target you can consider yourself as lucky guy and there is small chance to win the round.

BGs are now huge frustration full of totally confused people not knowing what to do and just solo fighting with 2 full team thinking that is superman, who thinks that is immortal.

Saying that it is finally fair is so unwise. Before you could do something with it. You could team up, start to progress, build the team and finally get results so it was fair because everyone has the option to change it. Blame yourself if you didnt do it. It is your fault to not do any effort to be better.

What is unfair is that you did all of this and then you are queue up with random people what has no idea, not reading advices, not following simple mechanics and not being able to kill anyone, except of itself.

If BGs stays in current state I am affraid that this will be end of good pvp in ESO.

Just wait for mmrs to settle out, it should get better.
