Alliance finally winning AV

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Sure thing

123

But the Horde and Alliance get to Balinda at the same time. And the Alliance get to Drek faster from Balinda than the Horde get to Van from the same place.

How is Balinda not the center of the map?

124

Open up a google image search of AV map and tell me exactly in what reality is Balinda the centre of the map.

125

But we know the travel times. Horde/Alliance get to Balinda at the same time. And the bosses are roughly the same travel time from Balinda
except the Alliance gets to Drek a bit faster.

126

Travel times? umm
 what? Where did you pull that from?..

Distance wise, Horde are closer to Van from their staring cave than alliance are to Drek from theirs.

127

Then why do Alliance win Boss Races?

128

We solo pull Drek better

129

Both sides can solo pull the Boss. But Alliance get to Drek faster.

But now we’re at the same double standard as before. “When we win, its because we’re better. But when we lose, its the maps fault.”

130

Try debunking any of the points I linked


I know you wont, because you cant. So you are stuck arguing these semantics.

The cave position isn’t even about how close it is to the centre, its about how close it is to the IBGY. If you can’t see how that is a massive advantage, then you don’t understand AV.

131

Or we could stay on topic.

132

That’s not actually a double standard. If the map is more difficult for a team and that team wins despite it then it’s because they were better.

Perhaps, But the map is debatable. But we have historical precedent as evidence towards map balance.

136

Why would historical precedent apply when the game was played differently?

Easy way to solve the debate would be to randomly assign sides. See if the win percentage changes, that would be a sign either way.

However, it’s pretty simple to see that Horde can arrive at Balinda’s building at the same time the Alliance do. That’s an advantage since the game is a race to objectives. Is it the sole determinant of victory? Of course not, but it does start the battle unevenly.

There are a lot of factors here and only by testing changes can we see how we can make this a better game. It’s likely that no one thing is completely the cause of the lopsided games.

Because if you played it differently today, you could recreated historical precedent


139

I argue that Balinda is the center off the map. That the end Bosses are both equidistant from her.

I would agree with this. But i doubt it would ever happen unfortunately. It would be a neat experiment.

140

Umm
 no, that kind of relies on the opposition playing the way they played. Unless you’d like to convince all horde to stop turtling and start racing, your argument kinda falls apart.

will this mean that horde will have shorter queues?!
