Has Blizz even addressed AV yet?

Heck there was a post a week or so ago about. 5 man alliance team that got a decent winrate out of AV with just 5 Manning stuff and trying to lead the AV., He had around a 50% winrate when people listened if I remember correctly, but overall he was at about 12% winrate because of the times people didn’t listen.

That is not at all what he posted. The decisive factor wasn’t any response from his alliance teammates, it was the response from his horde opponents. If alliance soft capped IBGY, horde either mass recalls to take them out OR the horde continue on offense, in which case it becomes a race that alliance can win (according to his estimation) about 30% of the time.

2 things can happen here;

1. Sometimes, the Horde recalls 30+ people to defend, and only keeps 10 on offense to try and ninja bunkers. If this happens, the game most likely turns into a turtle.
2. The game becomes a race. In this case, the Alliance gets a solid 30% chance of winning. This is because by being forced to give up IBGY for strategic reasons, the Horde get a 3-4 minute head start on Bunkers. The Ally win condition is literally to ninja bunkers back.

What happens when it turns into a turtle?

@Grievous-whitemane

If the game does turn into a turtle because the Horde decide to recall their entire raid, we do the following:

• Set a rally point on circle (myself) and have the entire raid ride down to Drek for an all-in. This has had a 0% chance of success, with the closet Drek getting being 23% HP. BUT, this speeds up the outcome of the game, and prevents us from spending 1 hour in AV.

The decisive factor over his wins and losses has not been decisions made by his team, but decisions made by the other team.
