I'm lucky that I never get a healer in my team then, only tanks or teammates who never play together so I never have to deal with any of these

OP, are you a healer by chance?

@SkaraMinoc pick up your healing targets wisely.

NB ganker can care less if you heal him or not, with armor and health and sustain that low he's not gonna survive prolonged fight anyway, either getting killed by layered burst, or by out-sustaining.

Neither NB ganker can do anything really in case you are ganked and he's not ready to kill. Well, probably one bombard is the only thing that is viable in such a scenario.

You might argue that NB gankers are not the best thing to BG with. And technically the truth, but outside top MMR premades gankers can have x5 multiplier on K/D (with the downside of not helping your team as much as fighter/bruiser would), so it does fulfill the objective of Deathmatch.

And the last.. is advice. Find yourself a duo with fighter-archetype player. Don't solo on healers. It's not safe for your sanity.

And what do I do when I play a tanky build that might not be able to kill any decent player, but can carry a chaosball / relic or stand on a flag for a long time while being pressured by multiple enemies when my random queue gets me into a deathmatch for the 10th time in a row?

I really want them to do objectives-only queue just to see this 12 permablock player games

We were down over 100 points with orange at 480, big come back and it felt so good

Sometimes is just impossible to do something and teammates not help with it.
1. unkillable tanks
2. You dying in second
3. always alone and everyone die solo
4. teammates have 18k hp builds and do 0 damage

And many more things , i know many of this is git gut or l2p.I can learn to how to play myself ,but i can't force people that i play with ,to do the same.
This is why mmr need to be adjusted in this game somehow , we need mmr wchich raise and fall when you lose or win to adjust games and players somehow to game. This is why many new players leave battlegrounds to, they play nice ,have fun ,but after many games they suddenly they are standing in front of the wall ,that can't be passed.
Not every player can learn ,this is why many games have mmr and ranks bronze ,silver something like that to sort that kind of players. This game have objective modes ,to sort this kind of players and add some flavor to it.

Groups that stay together will always do better than groups that don't. That doesn't mean they will win, but they will do better than if they separate. Individual players are often much easier to kill although I've seen some trickery of late where you have one act like bait and the others magically appear once enemy is distracted.

BG's are just chaos and all you've got in there is to stick together and hope the other teams don't have one of those 15+ kill players.

Don't leave a match just because you are losing

^ ^
This...There have been so many times when I've had teammates quit within the first couple of minutes because our team was losing only to come back and win, or at least come in second. It takes time to adjust to playing with and against other people. And once you do it can be amazing.
Or if you're just gonna stand in the respawn area and sulk, please leave so someone else can join and actually play. It's PVP, dying sometimes is part of the game.

Just make sure the person actually left on their own versus being disconnected and an error shows up on the person's screen....like it did to me just now in Deathmatch GRP.

I recommend ZOS implement a notification to the grp that the person either left or there was an error.

Haha this is very true and a good possibility 😜

I am someone who plays mostly solo and I can definitely day that this isn't always true. As you've said BGs is chaos and with the game's current MMR your team can consist of varying classes, play styles, and skills.

If you're lucky enough to get on a team with a designated healer, a mix of mostly tanky or brawler builds, a team that consists of mostly the same class, or none of the teams have healers, then yes, playing as a group is very beneficial.

However, if you're on a team with NB gankers/bow builds that are meant pop in and out fights quickly, and stealth away when they're in trouble, or if you're a combo of melee and ranged builds standing your ground and and staying together as a group isn't an option or even that beneficial. Or there's the problem of coming across the dreaded stacked team with a healer to boot and all of the damage on your team combined won't save you. So instead of them decimating your team in one shot it can be better to split up and have them hunt you down one by one. Meanwhile you can seek out other vulnerable players to pick off.

There are just too many variables in BGs to say that you should always stick together and play in a group. In my experience you have to be flexible.

What is the name of the addon that shows character and player name and damage done / healing done right in the battleground match detail screen (f5)?

@mandricus Better scoreboard, my friend made it for us! @M0R_Gaming the legend himself!

He has since added class icons as well.

Thanks @SkaraMinoc for posting that link!

I always just do whatever I want, and its been working for me at-least.
