If we are using Occam’s Razor, in light of 15 years of alliance success in the BG, in both vanilla as well as PS history, not to mention the classic premade days, a sudden drop from overwhelming wins to overwhelming losses, then the “reason” is the most simple explanation: players.
Occam’s Razor does not mean “my favorite explanation”.
But you’re not you’re talking horde vs alliance and claiming horde are somehow just better at AV, which we can clearly see is not the case or it would be reflected in the other BG’s.
The mechanics are the way they are because that is what players demanded with classic - no changes. Hence the mechanics are fine.
The issue have is with the Horde Strategy that Alliance players are choosing not to try to counter and you’re demanding tha Blizz address the lack of initiative on the Alliance side to favour your faction.
Yes, but the fact that the other two BGs are not similarly lopsided means it is something specific to AV, rather than Alliance PvP, that is causing the discrepancy. And we have one such cause that is definitively supported by empirical data.
Which is not supported by data from classic which is the exact representation which we have from 15 years ago.
Alliance was doing just fine with Av in vanilla, but now loses. the maps are the same and yet Alliance continues to let themselves lose. That Data says its not the map that it the issue
Av is just not that complicated its not particle phyiscs that takes years to figure our, people were playing the same methods as they were 15 years ago. Alliance players are just not motivated enough to put the effort in for a win.
Again the ‘data’ you refer to is the same ‘data’ from 15 years ago and it does not support your conclusions
Yes they were when they saw the option they had. and the best way to win was to burn down the Alliance which was done at the time and now. The thing your complaining about now was done 15 years ago and the Alliance as able to deal with it but chooses not to today.
Your ignoring the fact this this version of the map was used in classic and Alliance players did just fine, even with Horde doing what you call ‘scorched earth’
Not so. Every single horde and alliance pvper would need to do AV regularly for that to be the case. Since a mere fraction of alliance pvpers do AV it can quite easily be the reason.
If the horde had 40 afkers every AV and lost 100% of those games I wouldnt be sitting here telling you the horde are just as good in AV because they dont afk in the other bgs.
