I can imagine patch notes…
Sorry, Horde players, that you’ve rolled on dominated faction and thus your queues are long. We’ll give you guaranteed AV victory for your suffering.
I played 5 AVs today. Highest number that we had at the beginning was 25. Blizzard definition of fair game. Why not to let horde to play vs horde as on rated if you don’t have enough alliance? Just make it for all classes but shamans and paladins …
been about 15 games over 2 days without seeing a 40 vrs 40 launch now, I can not see pre-mades being the only cause of this, Alliance must be quitting by the truck loads and now we can not get enough people to launch with 40, that and with the premades dropping their queues it is getting really bad.
Blame your fellow alliance and their premade groups…
we all know this , we need the fix and we are not getting it.
I’m guessing blizzard isn’t gonna fix it. Remember, #nochanges?
What they should fix is the “creative use of game mechanics” that are ruining the integrity of the game.
This is the attitude of your premades against you puggers:
They are quitting that often. Multiple premade groups all phishing for the right AV instance and the right group composition. This problem has 1 root cause, and we all know what it is.
Considering there are countless threads on this topic, and Blizzard refuses to chime in and address it, it’s safe to say they either don’t care or are kowtowing to Twitch streamers (like Swifty, Jokerd, etc) who are taking advantage of the situation to use premades for big honor gains so their viewership doesn’t drop.
let me see if i can do this…
games are starting imbalanced
because1: there are more horde than alliance players queueing
because2: there are more horde than alliance players
because3: horde is preferred by the PVPers
because4: Horde racials are superior to alliance racials
because5: failure occured during product development
because6: quality assurance testing did not detect racial gap
because7: I dont know why - i wasnt there
I don’t think we know the root cause, now do we?
no no no dont u put the blame on the players what so ever… when a child does something stupid who gets in trouble? the parents do… its their responsibility… blizzard is letting there players run and control their game… blizzard can easily fix this… but they will wait till the first r14 on most servers before they do anything
The instance launches with both sides have 40 people queued up. 40 horde take the queue, 30 alliance drop the queue at the last possible second.
That is it. Nothing else.
I think we all know that regardless of Population or racials, Either faction would be using Av premades for max honour.
Players using the morale high ground on this is just a joke.
this is false. about 6am this morning I queued. Ally had about 11 and horde about 25. botth factions slowly tickled in until gates opened with about 25 A to 37 H.
games initiate well in advance of 40v40. queue WSG and you’ll also see people trickle in and it’s not because of premades. it’s because games initiate well in advance of full capacity.
The AV instance does not launch when there are not enough people in the queue to fill it to a certain threshold. You have until the gates open to accept that queue-pop…just because they didnt hit “accept queue” instantly, does not mean there were not 40 people in the queue for both sides.
Edit: And the spot in the instance is held empty until the players in the queue accept or decline.
You know how to solve this problem?
All 15 of you guys AFK out.
The game will automatic close due to lack of Alliance players, and you can spite the horde for ruining AV with all the turtle meta which caused the Premade problem.
If horde didn’t turtle, there wouldn’t be a need for premade discords to burst through the turtle.
So next time you are in a 5-10man game, tell people to /AFK for automatic abandonment before you leave.
lol look at you trying to spin this on the opposite faction when its your own doing this to you.
i blame you and yours for getting so many to switch or quit in phase 2
so you want you cake and ice cream to?you can be happy with insta queues and premades?
blame your fellow alliance for queue dogging.
There was always more horde pvpers then alliance on retail. This wasn’t any surprise what would happen on pvp servers.
Battlegrounds have been out now for twice as long as phase 2 existed. But i have a feeling we’ll be hearing about how people deserve X because of phase 2 even when Naxx is on farm.
