DK+4 rets: How to manage FEAR bombs

[Mosg2]

I dunno man, when I see a 4-5 man premade, especially in the smaller groups, even when you manage to shut them down they'll still annihilate the rest of your team and you won't be able to carry them. Hell as many tricks as we have to pull just to carry the rest of the team pug vs pug I don't see how it's going to go very well if a half or third of their team plays like a 2k+ arena team

Well, I think proportionately compared to now there will be a lot more people doing rated BG's than arenas--My hunch is that instead of a que for rated games vs non-rated you'll just que for whatever game (Or random I guess) and then get a personal rating based off off win/loss and personal performance. Imo~.

All of that means, to me, that there will be more people playing and your chances of running into a game where half of'em play like a 2k+ arena team are low.

In any case, Void and I are brainstorming our asses off looking for good BG/arena comps post Cata launch

They stated that AV will become a 25-man, instead of a 40-man.
And that all BG's will be 10, 15 or 25 players.
And the largest group that can queue together will be a 5-man group.

I'd suspect if you want a rated battleground, you'll be forced to choose the random BG.
Which would make premades even harder to build.

Sure the opposing side can have a 5-man 'premade' group.
And they might even have multiple groups in a given BG.
But your side has the same likelihood of this.
And we are already a highly coordinated 5-man premade.
So the only thing certain in BG's is your side has a single premade.

I have a lot more fun in battlegrounds against random masses, then in arena against focused opposition.
Battlegrounds are chaotic, and aren't always 5 vs 5, you'll find 15 vs 2 or whatever.
Plus in BG's you can mix it up, recap bunkers/towers or rush the end base etc.. not always the same game every game.
