What do you guys think of IoC ?
i think blizzard needs to balance the map and fire the guy making undocumented changes that favor alliance. example: horde airship can no longer fire on quarry while alliance airship can still fire on hanger, mid, and the horde side hill.
it can’t fire in mid. even if you can its not for very long as the ship is moving, but ya i can see your point there. bg just needs to be removed honestly. doesn’t feel fun to win or lose that battleground
i’m not talking aiming, they straight up put an invisible wall about 200 yards up in the air that blocks shots from the airship from hitting quarry. clear alliance favoritism.
You know what would balance the BG? If Docks Catapults were able to launch you onto the enemy gunship.
Thus giving Hangar a counter somewhat.
Hi Ruthlessbro,
But Alliance can man glaives too.
I say let there be 2 gunships and as they pass each other both teams have to prepare to repel the boarders. Knockoffs included.
i’ve suggested that tower cannons also be able to shoot up as anti aircraft artillery and shoot the airship down, giving it a recharge time like the siege engine, or perhaps for ease of mechanical changes, let them shoot the cannons on the airship, and then the cannons can be repairable like on the towers.
I’ve merced and won it with glaives and demos. All strats are viable in IOC. It’s the herding cats and getting them to execute the strat quickly that decides if it’s a win or a loss.
Agreed. This BG has always been worse than Strand of the Ancients… and they removed that one and kept this one.
I’ve been saying and even use the suggestion box. They need add npc guards and way to shot down airship by using AA gun that you get ammo from the mines.
I also love IoC as it the closes WoW have to a siege warfare.
I have always wondered why Red team can shoot down and hit Blue glaives at their attack point (using tower cannons), but Blue team can get nowhere near the Red glaives across that bridge. There is a tiny sliver of space Blue can use with little margin for error.
Exactly. Players get fixated on a single way to win, and they forget that most plans are only as good as the reaction times of the plan makers. I mean who spends minutes taking the hangar only to run off and leave it unattended? For that matter, most players forget that the portal on the airship takes them back to Hangar, so they can get down for immediate defense. 5 players worth of added defense.
wintergrasp is the one that needs to be removed
Lol someone’s bitter that their IOC winrate is a paltry 70% instead of their usual 90% Ashran winrate. Poor you.
This is also hilarious considering you were defending The fact that the Alliance should have to play Ashran like a normal/heroic difficulty raid against Jeron’s mechanics as a PUG while Rylai requires no such mechanics.
83% for IoC last season and 96% for ashran last season.
also they removed the knockback from jeron, so idk what you are crying about
How is Tol Bard fun? Defensive, like Wintersgrasp, wins most of the time. But I think a better approach instead of asking for BGs to be removed, ask for them to be improved. We already don’t get new BGs on a regular basis, so we shouldn’t be asking for them to take them away. I am not against Tol Borad either, but that would need to be improved too.
Love IoC. It’s a great map when played correctly. Gliders are fun to use there as well.
Only thing I don’t like is the bickering that happens when people can’t agree on strategies. Ohhhh that epic three way split that looks like a blooming flower on the map, LOL.
No offense dude. when you’re about to lose a bg you /afk before it ends. so honestly your win loss ratio is off
the lion’s share of my afking is done at match start before the round even begins. statistically speaking, i have afked more winning matches than losing, so you are right, my numbers are off from true, but not in the direction you hoped, realistically my win rates would be higher if i stuck around for every game.
