I’ve tried for a while to tell them that their racing north fails a good 90% or so of the time. It didn’t work in classic when their cave was further north. It doesn’t get any better with the cave being south. The sad pathetic reality is that they’d rather lose quickly than fight for a victory. Our glory days of AV are over. The horde is a bunch of whipped peons now that are happy to roll out the carpet and let alliance stroll in to murder drek. I usually just go for balinda then wait for the match to end. With most matches losing anyway, the next best thing is to maximize secondary rewards (kill captain, burn bunkers).
They won all the time in classic because they defended their damn base. They were usually ready at IB from the start. When you went south, they went south and cleared you out. When you capped something, they recapped it. They didn’t let you do anything on the map and usually drove you to the cave. The classic horde that won 99% defended and fought. They didn’t just base race, a bad tactic for horde.
