Alterac Valley Adjustments Incoming

Lest we forget, “phase 2” lasted 3 weeks. Battlegrounds were pushed nearly 3 months early to help out people on underpopulated servers. AV/WSG would STILL not even be out yet if there wasn’t some Alliance catering going on.

Alliance will no longer queue AV as premade. Imagine what that will do to horde queue times. 1hr+

You can’t see how this is a change that benefits both factions?

So glad I got exalted and got out week 1. Looks like AV is going to be cancer for the alliance now. I wonder how much stress and harassment is going to become a result of this on the PvP discords as groups form for 5 man AV or WSG.

Seeing as I “play” AV on my 2nd screen while watching Netflix; not mad at all.

Enjoy the 40minute queues!

Hardly. It’s more likely they will be 25-30 man premades instead of full 35-40s.

Thanks for the update though Blue.

The leaps in logic people will make to justify their own discontent will never cease to amaze me.

where’s all the no skill alliance players who constantly spammed reroll alliance lol and no changes at? Seems like the blacklist got a bit more useless on alliance premade discord… weird.

Nice. So now it will take alliance players 2 hours instead of 30 minutes to reach BRD from Thorium point on the majority of PvP servers.

But at least the favorite blizzard faction is going to be happy.

What about actions / bans for people botting? Gotta be pretty easy to find players with 5+ AV games and 0 HKs / 0 Deaths that spend the whole game hiding in a corner.

How come? If “Scrubs” stay awake longer and queue more they will still get higher brackets.

We’ve all blown up R10+ players that are garbage. Rank is for certain not a measure of skill.

You could come to Herod. Took me almost 2 hours of dying to get the BWL quest drop.

Ally had that on lock down.

Alliance Pugs are garbage, instead of them getting some wins in premade lobbies, it’s going to be all losses because 5 of us cant carry all of you horrible players.

Yeah, I bet AVQ will still work. Based on the exact time the JOIN popup appears, AVQ addon will still allow people to queue together.
