I play horde, the current design of the BG heavily favors alliance due to the hanger being the only way to win outside of premade vs pug coordination efforts. Horde has a literal uphill battle every game. Since yall don’t put much time into the pvp side of the game the simplest solution is to have all BGS function like the solo rated bg content where I can be on horde side or ally side off and on. Or delete that BG.
We get hangar all the time as Horde. You have to use consumables, crusader, or engineering items to get there first/at the same time. It is skewed to Ally though, I’ve said it many times in the past.
In the last ~2 months since I’ve returned to the game Horde has won IoC once, which was also the only time we won hangar.
Every other time the bulk of the team only arrives after the Alliance have made it to the flag, at which point the Horde are ice walled on the hill.
Really not a good time.
As I said above, Horde needs to think outside of the box to have a shot at hangar.
I feel Glaives should be buffed as well. They simply don’t seems viable or can be destroyed easily by one or few players.
Hangar+D has been the dominant meta in IoC for years due to the fact that the airship can’t be stopped.
IMO the best solution to fix this is to make it so the airship can be shot down by the tower cannons, with a respawn time similar to the siege.
alternatively,
make it so the tower cannons can shoot and destroy the airship cannons, requiring the players to repair them.
