Since we have a lot more bis players than blizzard did, it will never be the same. You will always see bis people on both your side and the enemy's.
This change's purpose was to separate complete naked beginners from bis people, since they REALLY couldn't do anything, missing all their abilities and get killed by literal oneshots. This not only made battlegrounds frustrating for lowbies, but too boring for geared people too.
You, on the other hand, can definitely do something. Not 1v1 a 6.9k warr, sure, but you can do something, throw some ccs, at least play for objectives and whatnot.
If the only price to pay for not getting naked people anymore is that average geared players can't stomp an occasional worse geared guy, it's definitely worth paying.
