I am just saying a big part of why people think horde are so op in bgs is like 90% of alliance melee are human
Well that definitely doesn’t help, but I’d also say that the majority of people interested in PvPing more than just casually went Horde. Racials are nice, Paladins are nice, but so too are Horde racials and Shaman and having dedicated players.
At least with WSG and AB the winrates are much closer.
Yes if you look at what you can expect the average outcome to be horde has an advantage. Most people interested in pvp also pick horde because horde is clearly better for wpvp. I am saying at the absolute top level of coordinated play in this game alliance has been shown to be better for bgs by apes.
If EMFH was introduced it would swap all serious pvpers to alliance. Look at the top 50 teams on the most popular wotlk pserver. 48 out of the top 50 teams are alliance in 2s and 3s. This will probablu happen if wotlk classic is ever launched.
Like for example, we all know that the burst of ele shaman is very op. How to counter this in arathi basin on alliance? Stack hunters, they bring aspect of wild if you stack this with magic resistance potion at start of game that is 110 free nature rez to everyone on ally team. Couple this with strategic use of greater nature protection potions and suddenly shaman burst is not the end of the world. What else do the hunters bring? Well in bs fight they will kill the horde clothy caster, this frees up alliance warrior to control the ele shamans. Pummel, fear, grenade if the shaman uses a limited invulnerability potion etc. Then yeah if the hunter is also night elf with stealth pet they are best base defense for ab possible on top of all that.
They Took Away Fear Ward and gave it to All Priests in TBC.
TBC was the start of the we must mirror everything on both sides.
They should of never gave Horde Elves;
They should of never gave Horde Fear Ward. etc etc etc
And we’ll probably see pretty similar for TBC Arena, but for the Horde.
APES wins because they are the best pvp guild that play together since private servers, not because of racials or paladin. In every day pvp shaman is vastly superior to paladin, a class that can one shot anyone can do some great offhealing, drop totems that passively cleanse fear and poison and also wf totem.
That’s actually a massive NERF for Arena, Ill keep Perception thank you very much you sneaky sneaky shaman.
Release the factions as close to what they were. Let the imbalance be absolutely absurd. It will show how good certain players truly are.
The solution is fewer servers (tourism will settle over long. layers introduce more bad than good).
And possibly an active ai q management system that will not let one faction into a PVP server if the active players (XX-XX) represent more than 2/3, splitting the q and prioritizing the underdog faction.
If they do this with fresh classic servers, and retail, there are enough options on the active blizzard sub that if the server is “Full” you either wait in q like everyone else or play a different game for a bit and try later.
letting you sit in q and play another of the wow clients would also make a lot of the qq disapear.

I still fail to see how a 2 second silence on a 2 minute CD is somehow going to result in every single server being 99% horde
Rogues get a lot more powerful in PvP in Arena, and Orcs resist almost a third of all stuns. Fears are also potent and Undead have immunity and breakers.

Apes competition in eu bracket also play on private server for year and did not win. Same tactics that work for mid level players not the same at top end. Its same in fighting game people who are mid tier in smash bros melee think ice climbers are stronger than they actually are.
