Blizzard continues to work on WoW Classic. A change to PvP battlegrounds should please solo players and quite annoy “premades.”
The PvP of World of Warcraft Classic has several issues that are currently annoying players. One of them is premade groups that avoid a battleground for as long as possible until they encounter a group that they can easily roll over. However, Blizzard has now put a stop to this. In the future, such groups will not be able to simply avoid these battles.
What was the problem? Especially in Warsong Gulch, there are often “premade” groups. These groups often want to play against an easy team of random players to possibly gain a tactical advantage through good coordination and win easily.
Therefore, such groups send only a single player into the battleground at the start of the match. This “scout” then checks which opponents are participating. If the opposing group is also made up of a coordinated team, the rest declines the invitation to the battleground.
What will change? After the hotfix on February 11, 2020, players can no longer call up the scoreboard before all players have accepted the invitation to the battle. This makes it impossible for players to see in advance, before the start of a match, which opponents they will face. Thus, avoiding certain groups and only selecting “easy prey” has become virtually impossible.
By the way, the first players have reached the legendary Rank 14 – and are quite exhausted.
How does the community react to this change? In the WoW Classic subreddit, there is discussion about this adjustment. The prevailing opinion seems to be positive, as it is likely to lead to a better player experience, especially in Warsong Gulch. However, there are also some players who believe that a new variant will simply develop, allowing players to avoid real battles in order to farm honor as effectively as possible.
Whether this change will have the desired effects will surely be shown in the coming days. Previously, Blizzard had already made several changes to Alterac Valley.
Do you like this change to WoW Classic? Or should Blizzard not have made this adjustment?
