Wintergrasp
Some more feedback following more games played:
- Games are fun when there are small(er) skirmishes around key points without the presence of 10 vehicles. I wonder if games would feel better if there were fewer sieges?
-
- Reduce the number of vehicles per goblin workshop by 1 (so 3 each), keep workshops to 2 (so max vehicles assuming control of all workshops + defense is 16, down from 24).
-
- Increase health of vehicles by 45%, reduce damage to players by 30%
-
- Players that join late should automatically be given a rank, perhaps tied to the time they join? Anything after 5 minutes after game start should be rank 1 at least.

- If Epic Battlegrounds are expected to be longer, I wonder if the deserter penalty for these battlegrounds should be of epic proportions? This is apparent in both Alterac Valley and Wintergrasp (and IoC, but less frequent as games don’t tend to be as long, and I foresee this being a problem for Ashran), where players abandon the games after the first couple of lost skirmishes.
The debuff is 15 minutes, the games they abandon often have 25m+ remaining, hence the mass desertions.
