Again you’re generalizing the faction as a whole. Why should all Alliance be punished for that? And explain what you believe the horde punishment to be when it comes to waiting for a game to fill. An extra 45 seconds? Is that truly punishment to play a fair game?

It’s not an extra 45 seconds. Its an extra 3-5 minutes minimum. WE already have 30 minute queues, you don’t.
It’s actually not 3 to 5 minutes. It takes about 45 seconds to a minute for the game to fill. By that time, the horde already have a MAJOR positional and number advantage on the Alliance. Not to mention buffs. So get out of here with your “punishment” for waiting an extra minute to play a fair match.

Horde have had BG queues on retail for years. Did you really expect anything different for Classic? I didn’t, and I was Horde from MoP through the first couple months of BfA.

If it’s 45 seconds then you’re whining about nothing, and given every other Allaince is claiming games half over before you ever fill, i call BS on that.

Even 45 seconds if you play 20 games a day is 15 minutes standing in a cave staring at a gate because Alliance dont’ want to play fair.

You’re blaming premades, but it’s a broken system that even allows a game to start under those conditions.
Premades are not going anywhere. They still exist in retail, which indicates to me that Blizzard is either incapable or unconcerned about countdown premades.
You can sit on your throne and blame premades while ignoring the underlying problem. I don’t care. I’ll find a premade if it becomes a problem for me. I have other solutions.

Nope, the broken system is the one that allows one side to premade while the other can’t, and it’s CAUSING this issue.
I personally don’t care. I see a premade 1 in every 20 runs, and i get 5 or 6 easy wins in those same 20 games because those premades are screwing you guys over. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it too. Join a premade, kill premades, or deal with the half empty pugs. Your choice.

45s to 1 minute is huge when it comes to a game that requires a large number of people to get the objective complete. Once you have that kind of advantage you’ve already started picking players off and camping the graveyard. The game is already over at that point unless by some stroke of luck the horde team is completely brain dead. I said it before, why would the horde care it’s a free win for them. You are proving my point.

Again, i don’t care. I’m just pointing out the source of your problem, and enjoying immensely you trying to dance around it.

No, you are targeting a certain group of players and blaming the faction as a whole because of what they do. Blizzard allows it, just like the allow the game to start imbalanced. Your mentality is the issue here as well, and I’m thankful I don’t share the same one as you. You don’t care about premades, you don’t even care about balance.

Lol, as long as one side can premade and the other can’t, balance is impossible. You want Blizzard to put a bandaid on the gaping wound cheating Alliance are creating and worse you want Horde to pay for it.
Even worse, you want Blizzard to change the game to HELP Alliance cheat. Or at least solve the problems they’re causing.

the alliance are doing so may premades it wont matter you were always competing with yourselves for ranks.once they hit their ranks there is 100 of you waiting for the next spot because it so close.
How is that helping the Alliance “cheat”? Premades have been around forever. Wake up. Your choice to play horde, you knew it would be overpopulated. You just want to play the game with imbalance because you know you will win.

The game was full - Alliance bailed on the queue when it popped. They probably should get a deserter buff for doing it, but not likely to change.
In my opion no game should start until there is a close to, or equal players that have accepted the queue. Not every Alliance plays premades, and it’s not fair to punish one side because of a faction imbalance that Blizzard made. This guy thinks waiting an extra minute for the game to fill properly is somehow this extreme punishment.

I earned less honor last week compared to 2 weeks ago, yet I still moved up from rank 5 to 6. This tells me Alliance overall are earning less honor because they are losing more games. This certainly has been true for me.

We are losing more games. It’s very real. The people that aren’t in premades ultimately get skewed because the games are botched and don’t fill up properly.

Yesterday I had a game take SEVEN MINUTES from gates opening to fill with 40 Alliance. It started with 14. That is ridiculous.

It’s stupid. Because it seems like once the game is broken it never recovers. They need to fix the algorithm or something, I honestly don’t know. But while that person in this thread is not okay with waiting an extra minute for the game to fill BEFORE the gates open, he’s okay with us Alliance who aren’t in premades to be stuck in a 30 minute loss, or a 15 minute deserter debuff if we choose to tap out. Damned if we do damned if we don’t.

You guys did this to yourselves with your premades (which are now starting to be farmed because even Ally premades can’t PvP, I’ve won 2/4 against premades tonight). You made your bed, lie in it, enjoy it, and buy a My Pillow, they freaking rock.
