Constructive post about the changed BG system

I enjoyed the old system for 2 reasons:
1. Play whatever BG i want. See how many Battlegrounds are active atm so you can estimate the queue time. and be able to join a BG friends are in(like point 2).
2. Group up with friends(more then 5 in general) and have a blast.

Both aren't possible anymore.

Advantages from this system that people do more different Battlegrounds now, but whatever BG you liked, you could play them all without a to insane queue. So the only REAL advantage is more honor.

Isn't it possible to combine best of both and merge both systems. It would come down to just having the old system + the 'join random BG option. in the battlegrounds tab.

If you queue for a random BG you get put in a random BG, for example AV. If someone queue'd for AV specificly he can get an invite aswell, instead of having OR people from the random BG, OR having people who queue'd for a specific BG.

Then everyone can do whatever he wants.
+ You're rid of the people who get Sota as random BG and don't even touch a tank in defense or offense, but just mindlessly grind till the BG is over because they don't like BG. Which is only increasing at the moment.

Constructive replies are more then welcome.

Edit: let's be clear about that fact that's it's good that blizzard tries to keep improving stuff, besides the negativity.
