Let’s turn the topic to a positive one rather than the whining QQ of a handful of sad-sack Horde.
The Alliance AV discord has been awesome. I 'm no longer ranking, so for me it’s really just about having fun crushing the spirit of Horde who wait in a 90-120 minute queue to get a meager amount of honor.
In my view, it’s payback for all the Horde farming the IWB chokepoint when the game was over to prevent Alliance from killing a few LTs.
I think we had 120 in the queue lobby last night. Even with the rare Horde spy in discord, I haven’t lost a game yet.
I know most Horde appreciate the map imbalance and have even tried things to counter the premade strat. To the whiners, suck it up buttercup.
If you’ve had great or memorable experiences in the Alliance Premade AV Discord, post 'em here!
I know Horde will probably say, “OMG LOL STRATS FOR AV?!?!” but in the Alliance AV Premade Discord, I think a lot of the strategizing isn’t how to win, since that is assumed.
The strat is more about limiting the amount of bonus honor the Horde get. One LT kill like the ss above is a very good result.
So as long as the alliance win AV in such a manner to deny horde any bonus honor its not the same, and its a totally ok as long as its against the horde.
Just making sure for if the premades stop and people go back to complaining about alliance loss rates and you bring that double standard up again.
Aight cool. Got it. So pug horde playing the game and not afking is worthy of some nonsense made up term, but alliance doing the same in a premade is 100% legit, when it was alliance premades that brought blizzard in to apply the 5 man limitations.
For the record, I think its pretty neat that alliance are sync dropping to play the BG again. I just want to draw attention to your outrageous claims about “scortched earth” since you argued on this for months on end.
The Horde try to deny Alliance bonus honor when they camp IWB in guaranteed wins, so I think that calls for some payback, don’t you?
Back in Phase 6 in Vanilla, it was pretty much understood most of the time that the teams would race to the end with minimal backcapping so both teams would get max honor.
In Classic, however, Horde want to deny Alliance even bonus honor. You reap what you sow, lol.
I am currently grinding exalted on my horde priest and I don’t mind it all. Alliance premades have resulted in 15 minute queues and about a 50% win rate. I’d much rather have that than the 2 hour queues and 95% win rate I had when I was doing the exalted grind on my shaman last year.
Again, for the record, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this.
I am however pointing out the hypocrisy of Zryius screaming about “scorched earth”, but that apparently only exists when one side does it. Its called playing the game, not revenge or payback or whatever you want to call it.
The Alliance premades usually take 15-20 minutes also when you account for waiting for people to get out of current games, people taking short breaks and having to requeue to get at least 18-20 in a fresh AV. So, it’s about the same wait for premades.
I think there is a misconception that the premades just instant queue all day, but it actually can take some time to get into the same BG during primetime or on AV weekend when there are so many games rolling.
