Horde Solo Queue

I hit 60 a week ago and I've been keeping tabs on a word doc about the number of premades I've faced just solo queueing in the battlegrounds.

I've only done a mix of 12 WSG/AB (last weekend was AV) and so far 11 of those matches have been versus full premades.

I don't really know how nost does the matchmaking but it's putting full teams of low ranking under geared players up against marshals and organized teams using voice communication.

Basically goes without saying that pugs are going to get stomped and farmed with very little chance of winning.

I don't mind the challenge every now and then but when my team mates realize we're up against a premade they simply don't even bother trying.

I don't have a problem joining up with a premade to compete but most teams want rank soandso or higher (lowest I've seen is 8) so they're not going to let me join up.

I also don't have a lot of time so solo queue is convenient when I am busy during the work week.

Is this really how this system is designed to work? Does the staff even discuss making adjustments?

It's not how the system is designed to work but it is how it works here.

Well that's really unfortunate because right now it heavily favors premades. Wouldn't it make more sense to match premade vs premade only?

On a few occasions this weekend, I've joined and seen only 1 alliance player in the lobby to scout and make sure it's a pug they're facing before joining. It's extremely lame to face a premade group every game but at the same time I wouldn't want to have to get 1.4 million honor every week.

I pug on ally and horde. Most allies who know how to PvP only premade. Sometimes they queue with less than a full ten, but they never solo q. This is just a generalization but it is true. Kaurles might be the only person I have ever seen that doesn't suck q solo on Ally.

Alright that's all I needed to know that explains a lot. Thanks for the solid response to my question.
