Solo BGs: I have finished in 3rd place for 8 straight BGs

DarkWombat · February 2021

I truly must suck at pvp. I have tried everything I think of, I often end up on teams with 2 or 3 players, or I enter a game halfway through. I tried a healing build keeping people up for long periods of time. I am good at strategy and been known to sneak some captures from time to time. My kills and deaths are usually pretty close.

Is this just a nasty bad luck streak? Could I be the reason for finishing 3rd eight times in a row?

Tbh you’re probably part of the reason for the losses. Not trying to be mean just being real about it. The great thing about gaming though is that with some practice and a more viable “non healer” build, you can quickly turn those 8 straight losses into wins

Just keep at it and try different builds, it’ll click eventually

Do people bother healing in BGs or just keep yourself healed?

Going as healer to bgs Isn't always good idea. You can't know who get to your team and going there as healer means to limit yourself and group

Pvp healers mostly exist somewhere where you can tell who is in your team

Better is to go there as if you were playing alone, that helps your team more because you can take care of yourself, you can kill, heal and survive.
You cant rely on your team to do killing for you while you go full heals.

Flag games & Crazy kings my Necro support is great, but domination & deathmatch my support is wasted in solo queue bg.

Not much you can do if you start a match a few short, teammates w/17k-20k health, or dropped into a losing team.

BG system is meh, I happened to drop once into a domination BG with enemy team with already half the points and all 4 flags taken, with around 0 points on both other groups.

idk if it is just me, but bg is significantly harder for a mediocre player like me during MYM

Lmao...I guess most people in the two 0 points teams were enjoying Death Match by themselves, while the team with 4 flags PTFO.

It happens in random BGs.
Edit: I meant solo random BGs.

I usually queue for group xd (as solo), and my team was fighting. I think. I have a suspicion the other 2 teams were formed too late.

I queue for group as solo too... The real solo BG takes too long to join... Sometimes my solo teammates don't care the game modes and only play Death Match, ended up with high kills but the 3rd rank...

I wish the game can at least separate the queue for Death Match from other modes... I like Death Match too but I don't want to waste time and lose the game.

My opinion on this was always scrap solo queue and bring back options... But the "premades are winning" crowds are...silly.

Not saying it's completely out of your hands, but sometimes you can just have bad luck. One day I might do half a dozen Battlegrounds and not get a single win, and then the next day I might win five of them in a row.

Queue for the Battleground Group option. Less waiting, better teams.

I read something interesting in another thread.

He said something along the lines of the best way to heal a friendly player in PVP is to kill the guy trying to damage him.

Not saying you can't heal - but for PVP you must know to do damage and play objectives too.

When I go into solo Battlegrounds I bring the most lethal damage dealing build I possibly can, and then on my back bar I slot a burst heal and a heal over time. Radiating Regeneration is what I use and it also latches onto any allies in range. That's the only real healing I give my allies in battlegrounds and most of the time it's enough to keep them alive long enough to kill their attacker.
