Bombing Run..I mean huttball isn't that bad with people that know how to play.

People don't like it because that is 90% of all WZ pops if you play imperial side.

Huttball is honestly the greatest warzone/bg I have ever played simply because it's so incredibly team oriented. I feel as a community we have hardly realized its potential, there is no clear right or wrong way to play this game, nor do I feel there ever will be. I think bioware did an amazing job designing it, you can roll with any combination of classes and be competitive as long as you work together and communicate. I also believe there is no particular class that has an all around advantage over the others, each class has its pros and cons. Jk & sw's make amazing ball carriers and can cover more ground, faster than any other class not to mention force chokes over fire, pushes off ledges, or into fire and acid. si & jc's are great at killing obviously and slowing down ball carriers, cc etc. stealth classes can wait in the on the opposite side and pop out only to catch and score, snipers make deceiving good carriers taking cover making then immune to charges, grapples, grips. once I let go of stats I had more fun playing than ever before, I forgot about about my damage medals, or deaths and concentrated solely on winning. That is where I find my enjoyment and that quite simply is all that matters or they wouldn't bother keeping score correct? I will sacrifice myself multiple times a game if I have to Ill run through fire or jump in the middle of acid and grapple the ball carrier killing us both sometimes, I honestly don't care. Or doing little things for the good of the team like throwing the ball in the dirt before I die if no one is available. Better to take your chances at neural ball than giving up possession. At the end of the round I know I contributed more to my team than that little sorcerer douche who goes out of his way, jumps three stories down just to get the kb on when I'm at low health. I just think if people played selflessly and saw the beauty in huttball there wouldn't be forums like this hating on it. But I too really want a way to select warzones simply because I want everyone to enjoy swtor as much as I do but in their own way.

Huttball is great. Its only problem is that most people don't know how to play it.

Huttball is my favorite Warzone. In my opinion, it has the most potential for team-based skill and quick coordination. Once you master passing (with your guildies/buds of course, not pugs), Huttball is the best game ever.

Every single time I see the Huttball map when entering queue, I yell "GET READYY FOR HUTTBALLL". Because it's too damn awesome.

I've also found that most of the people who hate Huttball are kind of bad. Interesting connection.

I know its your attempt to make a Unique version of CTF but this is why there is no other version it has been tried and tested over years.

Im in a PvP Guild and Hutball alone deters alot of players from Queing just because of how bad it is.

Also add some sort of rating Warzone about 90% of the ones I am forced to play huttball, cant even choose
Dont speak for me bro I love Huttball.

Huttball is way fun. I want more huttball warzones so we have different fields to play on. BY FAR most intense fun to do with friends!

Pugging would suck I guess, but dont pug, make friends.

Just to give some information on this subject: (and if it was said I'm sorry for repeating I just don't feel like digging through this thread reading mind-numbing posts)

Huttball is basically playing against the same faction. Meaning Empire vs Empire and vice-versa. The reason YOU are getting more often than other Warzones is because your server at the time you are playing or in general does not have a balanced ratio of opposing factions. This means to keep the que to shorter they throw the higher ratioed side Huttball. If you want to rarely ever get Huttball then reroll on the opposite side you are playing, otherwise quit que'ing for Warzones or wait until your server balances out.
