Really? It’s bad enough trying to gear alts the way the game but 1 damn win in 7 hours? Gesh.
Higher population on horde, more people doing gearing etc.
Faction means nothing.
because bg’s full of low geared leeches like you, afking and doing nothing.

That maybe a tad harsh to the OP, they are sadly geared but we have no way of knowing if they’re afk/doing nothing.

Constructive criticism at its finest right here. Maybe he’s not the aforementioned leech, but actually trying. But since he is trying to gear, he just gets mowed down by the actual geared opposition?
While it sucks that he’s not winning, it could just be some terrible luck as well. Sometimes you just gotta step away and take a breather.
I hope for the best OP. We’re on the same realm, I’ll run some randoms with you. =)
Edit* I see he’s still leveling or the armory just hasn’t updated yet.

What kind of bgs? Regulars or epics?
1 win in 7 hours sounds really low, even for Alliance…

Armory has been flaky the last couple days. There is always going to be a gap between starting pvp to geared pvp. I understand what Nelfas is saying, just don’t agree with the how. There are certainly some that are AFK/doing nothing. Worst, I’ve been noticing Horde mercs purposely throwing games for some reason. Well, more so have them blatantly say so. Either way, faction means nothing. It’s still a person on the keyboard.
To the OP, I will elaborate on what I said in my first post. Horde has a massive population, due to this they will have a vastly higher range of gear/skill/whatever. That is why you will see such a slanted win/loss ratio.
10000 horde playing say 50/50 win rate. That’s 5000 wins and losses.
1000 Alliance players 50/50 win rate. 500 wins and losses. Hence you see a bigger number, trust me horde lose as well. They just don’t like to admit it.
because im tired of newly dinged 20k leeches that run into 40k hp 20 man group and gets oneshotted then afk rest of game.
And…most of time they have no idea how to play…either
you played wow for 7 hours striaght?

i won 7 normal bgs in a row yesterday, and then won the first epic i did…
1 win in 8 hrs now and the 1 win was an Epic BG. First game on my main we won…do I pull that much weight that unless I’m on my main we lose 
Its funny because it seems like ally win every bg in my experience anymore
i have to literally merc anymore just to win bgs since horde has been trash ever since i feel like 8.3 and its even worse in SL
Look at my epic BG winrate, it’s a daily occurrence that I have to spend 3-4 hours just to get 1 win for the daily reward. Its unfathomable to me that some people even achieve 50% winrate in these BGs. But alas, I still need honor because upgrades are like 2k honor a piece, which takes quite some time considering you get like 300 honor for an epic BG loss

Same. I am always at or extremely near the top of the board for damage/objectives and my win rates were 34% on my Mage and 38% on my Rogue. Alliance is just atrocious at battlegrounds, especially this expansion. I’ve never had this low of a win rate. I also have a super easy time getting daily wins when I main my Horde toons for an expansion. It’s been going on for years and is not a coincidence.

How on earth is your epic BG record this bad as Horde ?
When do you play ?

Sounds like it’s time to find a rated team if you don’t like casual BG’s being used to gear.
I can’t say if it’s specifically horde or not because I switch around whenever I get frustrated with the other losing. Sometimes I’ll wake up right around reset time and do a few as horde and get absolutely stomped, say screw it and go alliance and get stomped again anyway LOL. The only reason I think I have any winrate above 50% is because I can pseudo-carry AV by holding or re-taking towers, whereas all the other ones I’m just another random
