The incentive is exactly the same as it is for alliance. Get out fast and hope for better luck in the next game.
It’s more likely horde would simply stop queuing at all and their queue times would massively go down. Once again just as alliance have done.
Right, but I am saying that the number of things that would cause one to think “there is no reason to stay here” is far lower when you have a 2 hour queue. Losing SHGY wouldn’t be an auto /afk Horde side. There is a high likelihood Horde would turtle the bridge heavily. Not because we are better mind you. We aren’t. But because we waited 2 hours for the game.
Bridge is actually hard to turtle.
Unless you just dont defend spgy.
Typically when u lose spgy you were heavily defneding it and when you die there youre not at the cave,.
Ok so we ended up trading shgy for sfgy.
Back to even game rofl.
Looks like ally are deathball stacking at shgy.
If the plan is to turtle bridge, you start let them have SPGY and try to sneak as many as possible by. I am preaching to the choir there though.
Issue is just like with shgy.
You cant win on defense.
Staying bridge is pointless in this version of av.
Its just a slower loss.
Yeah, that’s what I mean though. The goal is to hold it and sneak enough by for offense. A full scorched earth strategy would stop this. I am not suggesting Horde would be any more successful at it. I am suggesting Horde would be more likely to do it and fail even though the game is longer.
And that might be the case early on, after a few games of losing SHGY, then proceeding to get junk honor/rep over a ~45 minute loss horde would simply stop queuing.
You might be right. I wouldn’t mind it if they flipped sides for a week to find out. Wouldn’t mind if they made that a random start too. #sigh.
29m in we got shgy.
Alliance rushed ibgy and fwgy. they currnelty just lost IBGY and there is about 10 horde running down to clean up FWGY.
This game appears to be over, alliance have no south position pretty soon.
They also out rank us i nthis game, they are rank 6 we are rank 5.
I am still a bit surprised they got SHGY back after giving it up to rush SFGY. That just seems like they are begging to lose.
Might lose this one.
They got fwgy but horde arent coming down to retake it, might be a race.
They skipped ibgy.
No recalls? No calls for recalls?
Yeah we are but horde are full zug zug.
I recalled.
What a game.
We won 54m into it.
Half the team was defense, half the team was offense.
The alliance couldnt even get thru the gates to get into RH.
Eventually north took everything but waited for nothing to cap, so they were all in on Vann, meanwhile alliance retook aid station and spgy so if they wiped we would of been in trouble, but they killed him.
We won a very close game where we were out ranked by alliance.
Sounds like that would have been an awesome one to play! I wish most of them were this way.
This is alot more what i remember from vanilla and early TBC pre scorched earth.
Both sides play mixed D/O and there’s some fun back and forth.
Yeah it was acutally fun knowing we could lose.
Everyone north thought it was over but us on defense held them all.
Game 6 has started.
I think this will be an easy 1, horde average rank is 7 while alliance is 6.
Horde have 9 mages while alliance only have 5.
3rd game ina row where horde have 7 lower levels including me rofl.
Yup, 8m in and we have shgy and sfgy, they are forced north. GG
31m win.
6-0!
Are you saying there is more lowbies horde side ?
