I typically play with Horde Illidan players, so find some Alliance Illidan players because for whatever reason that cluster of servers Horde hasn’t got the memo yet.
Seriously? Literally every IOC game I’ve been in for the last week horde takes hangar and WS then circles the demolishers back to horde keep and obliterate the glaives. Then it’s just gg as hangar melts down the alliance gate. I think alliance is adjusting and sending more to hangar though. So games should start getting more interesting

Pretty much the same experience for me every IoC game … horde sends demos from WS and destroys Glavies . It pretty much finishes of Ally morale at that point and they just run around aimlessly after that.

Who cares, Epic BGs are not even real PvP in my opinion, most of the maps are PvE objectives that you need to zerg, zero skill involved.
Alliance seemed to do ok in IoC at the very start of SL because horde would go offense with demos. Ever since they started going D with them, it has been GG alliance pretty much every time.
IoC was the only epic I could win somewhat commonly besides WG defense until Horde made that adjustment.
Seriously? I can’t remember the last time I WON an epic as Horde haha - I thought they always win, it’s nice to hear there are Hordies winning them… The only one I can think of that we win is Wintergrasp (but only if we are the defenders!)
The whole “take demos back to our base” meta hasn’t caught on yet among the servers I get grouped up with apparently.
“Well OP the reports from the field are generally that of frustration and disgust. The Alliance players ARE, in fact, really tired of getting their skulls caved in when playing epic BGs. Fortunately most of them accepted the fact that Alliance is terrible at PvP expansions ago. Back to you, Jim.”

Honestly you are probably just fighting Horde using Merc mode. Alliance mostly avoid Epics because of the lack of PvP in them. So it’s horde vs horde.
With that said I did kill Vol today in Ashran first time we were able to steam roll over horde and get a boss kill for the extra 150 conquest. They need to double the resources in there needed to win so the match last longer making the Boss kill more likely.
“Oh look … Ashran.”
“Let’s take half our team and go farm the npcs on the side of the map so we can get our quests done. Gotta farm those relic fragments!”
Meanwhile the entire Horde team steamrolls the other half of the Alliance team that is actually attempting to pvp

Been rough in epics so far today.
Just report the people doing it like horde do.
Honestly, why does Blizzard add PVE quests at the side of the map in a BG if they don’t want people to actually do them?
Seems like it shouldn’t be appropriate to sanction someone for doing content Blizzard expressly designed for them.
I mean if they are off away in a corner of a map they look afk, might as well make sure they are not and report them to be sure
Won AV today, so I’m feeling good 
ETA: Make that 2 AV wins today, so it’s been a really good day

The problem with the alliance is that they get good at a given strategy and the minute it doesn’t work they’re clueless. If Horde actually defends iron triangle they almost always win because the Alliance doesn’t understand that you break a turtle by using elite call-in’s. If Horde is coordinated, demos and the airship are definetly faster on IoC. Or, hell, if the Horde actually contests the glaives (say, with those demo’s) the Alliance wont know what to do.
…What??? Alliance own the Epic BG queue, as they always have.
Why do people who say this always have low honor levels and only a few ashran/WG played? As if they haven’t actually played more than a few epic BGs since the epic queue started?
Because you play a few, realize Horde lose a lot, and then you stop wasting your time? Epic BGs are trash. They contain so little real PvP.
In other words you wouldn’t know. Alliance has been stomped since the epic queue started.
Alliance hasn’t won epics since Legion when they were part of the regular queue.
