I’m Bad At PvP, Will I Enjoy Battlegrounds?

I’m awful at PvP. I’m a quest-driven player who enjoys dungeons, so you’ll rarely see me holding a Chaosball. That being said, I spent weeks of my childhood grinding to be crowned Emperor in Cyrodiil (it never worked), played countless matches of Battlegrounds (losing most), and tried dueling strangers in Auridon (take a guess). I don’t seem to be getting better, and it’s hard to stay motivated, let alone relaxed. So, sitting down with Wheeler, I had to ask: what would you say to those of us who outright suck at PvP?

“Definitely hop into the 8v8 queue,” he says. “We have a solo queue and a group queue, and you can’t go in with a large group. You can only go in with you and three other people. But what 8v8 affords people is the opportunity to sit back and watch a bit. In Cyrodiil and the Imperial City, you can have those large fights where you run around and don’t have to be in the thick of it. And your actions, because there’s more people, aren’t as magnified.
