Im not totally on board with this personally as i think everyone basicly have the same opportunity to form or join a premade. But the stats kinda speaks for itself. People like to solo que. How about making one of the scenarios PuG vs PuG only?

Apart from russian bomb groups i think BFP is the moast blacklisted scenario among premades.

that's one thing I really miss about GW1, they had a true solo queue, if your group one, you stayed in a queue for the next one, until you got beat or won 10 in a row. Too bad they can't pick one scenario (like Riek) and make it truly a solo queue.

Yeah thats what I meant aswell with pug vs pug. Solo que only.
Having one solo que only and one group que only would probobly be what everyone wants tbh. Then rotate the scenarios every month for varaity.

RoR doesn't have the population to support a separated que system for pugs and groups, it would just end up punishing players who group up.

exactly. They can atleast make one SC that is only for pugs. I dont know why this isnt the case already.
It is the pug players who keep the server as well a life. Not just premades.
If they face mosty premades in a SC and with the unbalanced orvr, they probably soon loose there nerves and move on.

Now solo players are punished. You can't please everyone, so middle ground solution should be implemented:
2-3 solo only SCs and 2-3 premade only.

That wouldn't work, groups wouldn't get many pops... and it would cause a lot of asspain in groups not running BiS meta setups since the amount of groups actually queing would be low... so if there is say a group running the best melee train possible and it's just you with your friends running a mishmash group you will continually get owned.

Making a scenario PUG only is essentially separating the ques, who honestly is going to que for anything else as a solo player?


IDK maybe I'm wrong, maybe the devs can experiment with one for a while and see how it effects pops for groups etc...

+1 Totally on board with this, This is something I've touted about on live as well, when we were running "premades" back then because the farming of "pugs" were no fun/challenge, and now here I am as a casual player Q'ing solo i run into organized "premades" that do the same...I am certain they would prefer going up against other premades rather than "PUGS" and solo Q's would rather fight against other solo randoms....pug vs pug it's anyones game, and that makes it fun tbh!
