    I agree it's pretty frustrating to get put into a BG that's about to end, but I think if there are any restrictions Blizzard should implement, it should be closing them after 10-15 minutes, regardless of the score.
    I feel like you have never set foot in a BG if you think there is enough time to run back 3 flags in 2 minutes even assuming the other team never touches the carrier or the flag

    That being said, I do believe anyone who gets thrown into a bg in the final few minutes, regardless win or lost should be rewarded with something extra for the time wasted in the que
    I feel like if it takes you more than a few seconds to tell there is no winning a 2-0 match with 2 minutes left then you must have ridden the short bus to school. Its not hockey, its capture the flag, scoring takes time.

    Its a video game cupcake, its supposed to be fun, not a grind. I guess you are just the type that thinks gaming is a job.

    And as multiple others have pointed out, its not impossible and its not a rare event either. Coming in with a defeatist attitude and making no effort makes you no better than the person who decided to leave

    I feel like you didn't get that I wasn't talking about extreme cases, but ones that are still physically possible to turn around.

    Two days ago when I did Bg’s I got 7 games in a row like this. If I stopped playing there and then and didn’t continue, not only would it have been the majority of games but it would also have been ALL the games.

    Think of it this way, Blizzard thinks it’s an achievement to do it in 75 seconds to capture to flag on picking it up. You shouldn’t base the way it works on the extremely low percentage of times when people can pull it off. It’s a waste of time for the majority of players who are losing. Implementing a system based on a few exceptionally miraculous events is just bizarre.

Once I got put into a Battleground which I joined instantly after the queue popped and after the loading screen I got DEFEAT written on my screen. Must of had 10 seconds left before it decided to throw me an invite.

    I get this for the MAJORITY of my games.

    This is not fun. Please fix. This is garbage and frustrating for everyone playing. How have you left it this long without doing anything. If it's a losing game and there is no prospect of a win based on points/flag captures/time left then DON'T invite new players. Stop wasting peoples time.

    I remember it used to be like this, but lately, horde bgs feel like full of pve guys forced into pvp for essences, mostly afk or unable to do anything at all, because they dont know anything about pvp, so after 15 mins queue I still get stomped af as a horde.

    To my surprise I haven't joined any battleground in a long time where the defeat was imminent or unavoidable. But quite a few times where the battle is almost over with the odds being on our side. This is epic battlegrounds, if there's any difference.
