What you’re describing is exactly how AV works now. Well, I can’t speak for right now since I haven’t really pvp’d much since Wrath. But as soon as players figured out they could just ignore the other team, that’s what they did. Almost every AV was just who could rush down the General first. People didn’t play defense, and if you did your team would yell at you for prolonging the match. To say magically this won’t be the case in Classic isn’t based in reality. That mindset exists now. Only the older version of the map would stop that from happening.
