I soloqueue a lot, I also occasionally premade and anyone that can go with a premade would be a fool not to.
Why? Because the average player in Regs is a complete bonehead.
The amount of times I've had someone **** over my "Sap caps" isn't even to be mentioned.
But I can tell you with absolute certainty the number would be in the triple zero's.

If the average player in regs wouldn't be so gosh darn aweful, maybe more good players would be willing to queue alone. Tbh, the fact that I mostly play Sin is probably the only reason I still do.
Because if I'd be a Guardian trying to full time soloqueue I'd ragequit PvP itself as well.
You just can't make a big enough difference when the rest of the team is completely unaware of *** to do.


If you can't beat them, join them. If you aren't good enough to join them, work harder. End of story.

So I'm not allowed to premade regs because I know how to play the game?
That is the most backwards logic I've ever seen.
You may learn. But you should realize that the envirionment will never be in your favour.
Honestly.. the best way to learn is around good players anyway. But you do need to pay close attention to what you do AND to what they tell you. Because when I explicitly tell you not to do something, you probably shouldn't do it.

The amount of times people ignore my repeated warnings not to go to an offnode..
honestly, that is my biggest pet peeve of them all. Just don't *********** do it if I tell you not to do it.

You aren't only not helping, but more often than not it has adverse effect.
Most people just don't realize this, and that is why it's such a big problem. And that's why I rather play in premades. Less people to **** over my ****, means exponentially higher chance to win.

You seem very angry.

Premades also wouldn't be a huge issue if BW would just implement cross faction for every map, which is why I love odessa because more often than not there is an imp premade on my team, and an imp premade on the other team, and the matches are often quite balanced. The faction imbalance is glaring atm on TRE, I mean 11 am CET, 70 players on rep fleet, 1,5 full instances on imp fleet. Any reputable mmo dev would have seen the problem by now and introduced either a true group queue, or introduced cross faction / server. Or at this point merged all EU english servers into one, french into one and german into one. But BW ..... is like the slow kid that isn't handicapped, but just doesn't ever seem to get it. Any of those solutions would be a help, but all of them together would be the best thing to do.

I'm really not that angry. I just swear a lot.

Anyway the point remains.

But I really don't think a group queue would work at this point since the player base is just too small. You don't always have groups running. What they could do though, is smarten up the system to put groups against each other more.

Or, if the special snowflakes learnt to play, if they insist on playing Ill-murder-you-in-the-name-of-justice.
Faction imbalance is the scientific term for saying player skills mature at a later age than that of the intended audience of a certain faction.

At this point ANYTHING would be welcomed. But if they did all three of the things I said, we would be golden. But you know, logic doesn't work when it comes to BW xD.

That wouldn't do anything for the faction imbalance. If you re going to quote me, quote everything I said instead of cherry picking it so people can see it in context. And the reason I do not play imp is simple, bigotry. The amount of people, not everyone obviously, but the amount of people on imp side that are intolerant l33t ******s is astonishing and depressing.

That is completely off topic though, so let's not go there.

I would truly welcome if somebody explained to me what the true reason of this faction imbalance is, other than (apparently) the people attracted by one side are worse players than people attracted by the other side.

One guy tried to make up some reasoning about how a bigger pool of players meant a higher average skill level, he... wasn't quite convincing, so to speak.

Well, "attraction" has nothing' to do with it. Everyone wants to be a winner, so if you don't wanna fight an uphill battle you simply re-roll on the side that are the one who seems to be the winning side. How does make that faction imbalance increased? Well, you put in a reward system that makes the winning side able to obtain better gear quicker! It's all quite simple really. No Nobelprize nomination is required to figure that out . . .

Oh and congratulation to your 13th birthday by the way . . .
