And the same goes for alliance. We zerg if horde allow it. The major difference is that alliance don’t typically commit their entire offense to IB.
There is no #nochanges that includes changes.
When there’s more changes, sure, you could argue that #nochanges lost, but not that it’s a “new #nochanges.” That just doesn’t make sense.
Good job queing for bgs on a faction everyone said was overpopulated and were told were going to have queue times.
That being said getting smashed in AV not being in a premade every game as alliance does get old. My record is like 7-55… or something. I hate AV lol. Wish I was smart enough to spam it with everyone else when people were just zerging on both sides so I could be done trying to get exalted.

You said we could do it too? Now you’re saying good job for trying when we knew it’d be this way.
OCE had always been Alliance dominate. I had no reason to suspect otherwise.
You do realize the entire map heavily favors alliance? And to expect 40 random horde to be able to win a zerg to DB and be able to pull off a cheese pull that alliance has a far easier time of doing is silly. And alliance can already easily wipe horde groups at mid given you can just sit in SHGY and crash them at bal.
And alliance has literally no npc aggro to get to drek, horde has an entire village to get through plus DBN and DBS
They don’t allow it because they know it will result in a loss. It’s a strategy to counter the zerg.
It’s not one sided but the map is flawed in how it encourages each faction to play. It encourages you to defend on the Horde side and encourages you to rush on the Alliance side. This would be proven if you started Alliance on the Horde side and Horde on the Alliance side. The same playstyles would play out.
Both factions have advantages and disadvantages but the map inherently favors horde. Saying horde can’t win a zerg when they can, but don’t even try and then blame the map? Nah, that’s a cop out.

Might favor alliance in zerging but in straight up an actual AV game it favors Horde.

Reading comprehension, please apply. Horde CAN win in a zerg, if the Alliance falter in their zerg.
Everyone is aware that the map isn’t mirrored and that both sides have conflicting strategies that favors them winning.
Strange that most times I head to Drek I pick up 3 or 4 NPCs on the trip. Must be delusions.
Not to mention a choke point that has 2 towers with archers hitting you at once.

Meh with queue times It wouldn’t matter right now anyways. Horde going to want to get kills and have the game last awhile rather than just end it in 5 mins. Meanwhile with alliance having instance queues it benefits them to have the games last as short as possible.
I get it, i dont make sense. Not yet. And seriously I am not trying to argue.
All I can say is I am sorry for not making sense now and let us revisit this in 3 months!
AV is not supposed to be a zerg. Who cares who can zerg more effectively.
Also, the map favors no one. The best team wins.
Actually, quick games favor Horde too as it would in effect lower queues. It’s just that the majority don’t want to play to lose.
except it doesn’t. If the queues are REAL short it does, but we couldn’t quick game our way into better HPH with the current queue situation. 7 min wins arent 7 min wins when you have to wait 30 mins for them. It’s more HPH efficient to seek out kills and more bonus honor than be in a queue, until a certain point.
Why don’t you hide the av number so half the alliance can queue as normal? Why dont you add a deserter for leaving queue? Why arent you guys doing anything productive?

And alliance can’t zerg if horde don’t allow it. Its no different for either faction other than horde don’t try, but instead blame the map.
Carry on blaming the map for a player driven play style.
I was implying if the queues were indeed that short. I know that it’s not really possible to get the entire Horde to make a large shift in this way.
You continue to misunderstand. If the Horde don’t allow you to zerg, it’s not a race to see who can zerg first is it?
I’m not blaming the map, I’m not even faulting it. I’m telling you that the Alliance favor a straight zerg.
