BG Matchmaking = fail - Blue Tracker

I just find it rather amusing that such a big company like Blizzard, whom brings in millions in revenue, can produce such a horribly fail BG matchmaking system... lemme explain..

Your team's average gear score is roughly 345 while the enemies is somewhere around 372.

Completely outmatched and this happens just about every other game.

Not to mention the ridiculously lopsided skill level of every single match. Its never a 'gg' its always one team stomps the other and RARELY do we get a gg. Every game you can try to talk to your team but no one listens...ever..

Blizzard...lets fix this...plz

We think battlegrounds work best when people are able to get into them quickly.

While the matchmaker starts out being stringent it fairly quickly loosens up its search requirements to get people into games within a reasonable amount of time. We could absolutely make it so limiting that it won't place you into a game until X, Y, and Z standards are equal and you could sit in queue for ... maybe ever, but as you still receive rewards for losing, and due to the (intended) quick nature of games, we don't feel that makes sense for how battlegrounds flow.

Getting people in, playing the game, win or lose, and then quickly into the next match is what most players tend to want - and not long queue times or drawn out matches.
