Because at that time, Alli was able to win enough to keep people queuing. That changed.
Also, my alliance toons don’t have instant queues, so yeah. They are just a few minutes, but still longer than before, still a crock when due to an unnecessary change. And, Horde shouldn’t have to wait for an extra hour now because of it either. No one should be stuck waiting that long to play.
Even if blizz flipped the map…ally would still lose lol
Why did their ability to win in pugs change?
Then why isn’t your horde win rate the same 95% in AB and WSG Mogis? Oh wait, it’s cuz it is the map, thanks for being a troll.
Horde logic: “We stop those losers from getting any honor in AV”
Also horde logic: “Why does blizzard not fix our que times”
Ally: “We are not queing if we get no honor”
Hard to figure that one out…
Best comment I’ve read on this thread.
Well said.
Anyone with common sense looks at a 95% win rate and sees a game with absolutely no quality at all.
I guess that’s not a surprise though, as Horde were crying hard when they were close to a 50/50 win rate- winning everything is definitely going to seem like ‘quality’ when quality means ‘easy wins, no challenge, no difficult pvp’.
Your queues are long in AV because Blizz made the map nearly impossible to lose as Horde- they’re shorter in WSG/AB since those maps are far closer to balanced, so Alliance is willing to play them.
If the Zugs wanted shorter queues they would also be asking for a balanced AV map. I’m not sure they are bright enough to realize that’s why most of us don’t play AV. They say things like, “Get Gud,” and, “Switch the map and you would still lose them all,” even when the other BG results say otherwise. Enjoy your 2 hour queues and playing from your ladies tee. If Blizz fixed the map many of us would play it.
You know what’s not helping the situation?
Horde delaying victories by recalling people to hang out south to pick off Alliance that willingly give up the north.
If people stop trying, then win the game. Or you can hang out, do some halfhearted farming and watch your queues grow even higher.
I haven’t queued for AV for over a month on any of my alts 95%+ loss rate is plain unfun. All the games are predictable because they play out the same.
AB has been 10x more fun than the other BGs and wsg you can rack up wins because mirrored map. Good riddance to AV 1.12 and it’s trash meta.
Have you tried pvp without premades?
History says no. AV straight didn’t pop on some servers during vanilla. Or only popped on weekends for others. The queue for ab / wsg could be many hours long too. Single server BG’s already happened once and it failed miserably.
Queue times didn’t rise because of the NA split, they rose because of AB.
If Alliance wins AB 50% of the time while puging why would we play a battleground that we win 2% of the time and takes 70 minutes to complete?
god you whiny people are so desperate for any excuse. Jesus christ most of you people are in your late 20s or early 30s and your only argument is “LOL U ROLLED HORDE AND IM MAD CAUSE I LOSE”. Actually pathetic when you can’t even use logic or reason as a human being.
That is only in part true. It definitely did increase because of the split but there are multiple factors to it.
If you guys stopped turtling IBGY and we ended games in <20min, everyone would have 5-10min queues regardless of the timezone split
Unfortunately for everyone you guys would rather sit in a 2hr queue and have a 1.5hr game denying alliance honor than drop your win rate down to play more games
Next you’re gonna tell me horde are the faction that likes to PvP
Blizzard refuses to update pvp issues, only fix is to uninstall!
It’s not about delaying victories for that (but that does happen for caps of towers to finish because of honor grind) its about not giving up half the horde honor on a winning game (which still happens all the time) because people dont want to defend. The games ive been in where alliance are winning they do the SAME THING at IBGY. People do this on both sides, its just as visible alliance side because you win less because alliance give up faster and easier.
Now that said people who don’t cap flags in wsg and farm gy or who give up points in av to try and force longer games are the worst kinds of people. No one enjoys getting stomped and it should end as soon as possible for both sides to get onto the next.
I don’t get your entire last two sentences, makes 0 sense.
The reason why it looks like alliance is turtling SHGY is because you guys get there around 5 seconds after we do
That’s literally it
No that is just factually wrong and if you expect people to just PVE and let you walk on by in a PVP game for free you need to grow up and figure your life out.
The victim complex you’re showing is ridiculous.
Not factually wrong. you’ve clearly never played alliance or are unaware of your 30sec head-start on us
Hilarious though
