Zenimax, I double dog dare you to go in there and play your deathmatch weekend. Because if you did you couldn’t possibly think battlegrounds are in anything remotely resembling a good state.

The constant MMR resets have resulted in nothing but lopsided matches, which is exacerbated when we’re just talking about deathmatch. However you’re balancing teams, you’re doing it wrong. You couldn’t do any worse if it was deliberate.

Sorcerers! Holy cow! Does that seem like balance to you? It can’t.

These pull sets are ruining the gameplay. All your talk about risk versus reward and you seem to be dead set on rewarding very low risk, very bad gameplay.

Go in there and play it. I dare you.

    I too would love to see how they feel about being nuked by machine gun Sorcs or insantly deleted by a black hole gear proc. They both hit from very far away (often offscreen), at very fast speed, with little to no telegraph. Neither of these problems are exclusive to BGs and are just as bad or worse in Cyro or IC.

    Outside those two pain points, the 8v8 solo Deathmatch is a lot of fun.

    Mmr doesn't work in 8v8. Outside of that is agree with this 100%.

    It's funny playing the high isle map in these 8v8 dms though, and watching sorcs run to the bridge and start range bursting the other team. It is just stupid broken. They stand there and target anyone who isn't out of los and when you go up to confront them they ward, ward, ward, ward and streak away. Pure garbage... it is the opposite of competitive pvp.

    I'd like to apologize on behalf of Zenimax for the inexistence of balanced 3-teams Battleground matches. I hope it happens someday.
    Can you help solve any of the FOUR critical flaws of Two-Teams BGs ?

    Looking for feedback on How to fix the Three-Teams objective modes
