SOLO QUE IS TRASH

Ok DEVs, solo que could be awesome if you incorporated a que system for PVP Solo que just like you do for dungeons. Meaning the teams should be put together with certain 3 dps, 1 heals, 1 GF or pally and there should be a TENACITY minimum requirement to que. Nothing we worse then the last solo que period when the majority of game I found my self teamed with scrubs with no tenacity dying like lemmings and having no chance to win. Or queing up and seeing how the que is exploited to allow 1 team to have all there guild on 1 team and my team with me and the anti-tenacity PVP revolution team. Fix solo so it's fair and then I would be awesome until then is HAMSTER, let's watch again as HRs go 40-0 in a single game or over powered GF have a field day. 5 days?

Something new may be a better solution than rehashing the same dom format over and over.
Indy - XB1 & PS4 - GF
xeV Indy - PS4 - TR
Nde - XB1 - HR

There are already suggestions about tenacity. The best one is to make it an attribute for all players, not coming from gear. But what a normal player can basically do right now is to farm in PvE the guild PvP armor set and then use it to go PvP and farm glory for grym and then prestige. The point is that fixing gear gap/ boons gap/ exc...requires time. SoloQ allows usually for better TEAM balance. If there's a bug/ issue that pairs friends/ guildies in matchmaking, it must also be addressed or it's not much different from premades.
This should be a guild name.
I was a long time advocate for SOLO, fought a long fight and sometimes even had to suffer the consequences for my stubbornness and even i can't believe that i say it is HAMSTER as it is.
I see two major problems:
1. As good as SOLO Q is, it has shown us now after a few tries, it needs additional work, just putting it on the calendar won't help the PVP community grow. The matchmaking can be played, the AD leeches still come, the bots still show up, the gear gap is still there, no minimum tenacity gear makes even a 4k PVE player a joke and easy kill for a 2.6k PVP geared toon and etc.
2. I lost all faith in humanity, sorry but many are so silly, they can't see the wood from the tree, they come into PVP SOLO-, which is still PVP- without any sort of gear and at the end they will ruin the metrics Cryptic gathers here.
It is a huge fail by now. Anybody seeing at the waiting times knows this, it gets longer and longer the more people realize they can be easily the victim of the accumulated problems as in Point 1.
At the end, we players will make it fail, cause many in the community can't act mature and use some common sense. If this was RL most would make a bad joke out of themselves by going out naked to work. Yes i laugh too- well ironically-, but this is SOLO- now.
I may come from the moon, but whenever i made a new toon, i waited, gathered my boons, my gear and never entered PVP naked or with just 2K. Is it really so hard to wait a few weeks or months and only then join the fight. Would you put your kid against a fully trained gladiator? Of course not and PVP is exactly the same, many put their babies, their toons naked into the arena. Are people masochists, do they like to be slaughtered in masses? Shakes head.
Sad fact, if you try to educate people about nodes, gear, caps you get yelled back, it is impossible to teach adults.
For starters Cryptic should include an IL and Tenacity minimum requirement at the entrance, same as in PVE.

Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

These guys are afraid to solo queue without their friends... And it wasn't just one other friend, it was an entire 5-man premade. Check my recent xbox screenshots.
Solo queue should be for those wanting to solo queue, not for 5-man premades to queue sync and beat up on helpless players.
Someone mentioned that players shouldn't que without tenacity gear . How exactly are they suppose to gear up if they don't have the cash to buy the gear ? They could buy the blue stronghold gear but lets be honest that is not going to help them much. Tenacity is not the problem abilities and armor penetration rendering it useless is.
I would say a bolstering system like alot of other mmo's would help but the truth is would not . Class balance is the biggest problem in this game . You have GF's charge prone dazed 1 rotating players , TR running SE builds 1 shotting players ( don't blame them only viable build ), HR's with piercing ignoring armor and tenacity . There are many more abilities that need to be looked at with all the classes . The 2nd problem I see is no diminishing return in this game and items such as EB making control abilities useless. Lol can't think of a game developer with a more lazy solution to a problem or greedy for that matter .
I have only played since July and play a 3k pvp geared CW , just wanted to let anyone know my view point character wise.
Saying that because gear gap still exists, or class balance is not finished yet, so we should not have anything that makes PvP better for most players is wrong. You are chasing a perfect situation, that is probably months away. If not years. PvP may never be perfect. But we have a good situation now. Solo-Q is a good situation & you are wasting an opportunity by fighting so hard against it.
Now, you say you lost some matches because of your team. I understand that. What you have to ask yourself is, "When did these players have an opportunity to learn how to PvP?" Never. Under- 60 lvl pvp is mostly bots. Heck, I have a lvl 65 OP alt that still finds more bots than teams in PvP. Then players hit lvl 70 & Bam! Pug-stomp! How are new lvl 70 players supposed to learn to PvP if all they do is get one-shot to death as soon as they come down from the campfire? And you are upset because they don't know how to play? That is an unrealistic expectation.
"Does Q-sync happen? Sure. Is it a despicable, cowardly act? Of course. How often does it happen in solo-Q, versus mixed-Q? My experience is about 50/50 in solo-Q, versus 9/10 in mixed-Q. The fact that you cannot, or will not, understand that 50% chance of getting stomped, versus 90% chance of getting stomped is BETTER for the vast majority of players, only proves that you are too biased for anyone to take your opinion seriously. oh, by the way, I am NOT saying solo-Q is the solution to PvP. There are SO many problems that no one thing will fix it. But the devs have been working on class balance for 9 months now. They have gotten 3 out of 7 classes done so far. I for one do NOT want to wait 18 months or 2 years to enjoy PvP. The new mod proves that the gear gap is only going to get larger. I don't want to wait the 6 months or 9 months or whatever till I can farm the bestest NEW gear to enjoy PvP. But I CAN have a solo-Q, today, where I have a 50/50 chance of getting a good fight. & I am willing to settle for that until the devs stop sitting on their brains & actually fix the MANY problems with PvP. " Do not let the Perfect be the Enemy of the Good. " "
Tenacity gear can be found in AH, trade bar store (no need to spend cash, they can be collected from VIP) and from Guild Marks.
But i agree, as i have written my heart bleeds maybe 10 times more, cause erm i suffered a lot for having SOLO back and when i have it on sadly this time i have to say it is not the solution we all waited for. It was great the first few times, but it reached the point where it is heavily exploited by various groups, be it premades or AD leeches. I had to come to the conclusion, while it is great it needs additional work.

As a side note said thing happens in PVE too, where bondings ruin every content and Devs took the easy root, designing all content around them, very bad idea.

1. VIP gives from rank 1 a daily lockbox key and by opening it, you get trade bars and if you haven't found any yet, you need to turn to CS cause there might be something wrong, but first i would look in the wealth tab in your bag. Sure everything can happen, but i never saw or heard of anybody who has VIP to not get a single piece of trade bar.
2. Yes VIP can be bought with real life cash as well, i do it too mostly, but it also can be bought in-game via ZAX conversion.
3. Grim gear cost very little and we have reoccurring events, when the trade bar store has discounts, but VIP also gives discount after a while on many items. AH PVP gear is even cheaper and Stronghold PVP gear is a breeze to get.
My experience with people, who dodge the tenacity gear question is, they pretend, they can't get basic pvp gear free from game and we have to bare with them for ever and swallow, that they ruin the party's chance to win, cause of them running around half naked. The clear answer is no, there are more options to get basic PVP gear and work one's way up from there.
Just an example, i have a guy on screenshot, who had all his artifacts green, rank 1, zero enchants, but already 3 pieces of the BiS Prestige gear, now imagine, how many innocent souls he leeched on to get them. I just say shame on those people, they aren't better than the premades who play the Q and come to solo.

[PS4] I believe that Solo Q is better than facing a full fledge premade. There are class balances that should be In place, like the combat Hr or the 1 shot Tr or the unkillable/lil dmg OP but aside from that if you are planning to raise your KD it's the place to be. Tenacity requirement should also be a thing I dislike having a team that runs in and gets 1 shot because they don't understand the need for tenacity or know about tenacity. I haven't seen a planned synch premade crew because there is little point to that unless you want to pug stomp which I'm not sure how the matchmaking is done. I'm high enough to carry some noobs but if they are all 1k - 2k il with no tenacity..I play to survive, winning is second priority.
Very toxic when these guys do this to beat up on low ilvls with 3 artifacts and minimal (if any) tenacity to feel good about themselves--and they dont even let them cap, LOL! Solo queue MLG BRAH
However most of these full premade players are far from being unskilled they just are not used to being targeted 3-1 without support that do not make them bad everybody goes down when faced 3-1 by equally geared players (well except pesky tr and gwfs that just run away).
And don´t forget to give credit to those that actually fight against odds for their party, I have been somewhat surprised to see some of them fight both fairly and fiercely for their team.
Nevertheless some gets whats coming but those that act well should not be forgotten....
