Its amazing how blizzard chooses Horde over Alliance

I see Horde complain that Alliance players are repeatedly exploiting mechanics within a battleground.

I see Alliance complain that Horde is responsible for every bad thing in the game and their lives.

I’d say there’s pretty big differences in the complaints from both sides. You don’t see Horde players consistently claim that every challenge they face is due to some perceived bias aimed favoring one single faction. I mean seriously, to think it’s Horde favoritism when an exploit is once again addressed is the epitome of victim mentality.

But sure, whatever you say. If calling out an exploit is “crying” then I guess you got me, Horde did a lot of “crying” regarding that one thing. But Alliance were “crying” about it, too, so…

What makes you think the OP was bragging? The OP is simply sharing his data set (115 AV games) as an Alliance solo queue’er.

The upvotes are probably from Alliance people highlighting the low win rate. Previously, we’ve heard about bad win rates with no actual data.

To me, the average Alliance solo’er has it worse off than before the AV premade nerf. At the very least beforehand, you could maybe have a good chance of winning about 1/4 of your games when you happen to get queued with a premade. Now its less than a 1% win rate.

If you think Discord is an exploit, then please suggest your guild to raid using Ventrilo like it was in 2006.

“Victim mentality” is not always mentality.

It is possible to be un-favored in reality.

It’s not always a mind-set.

It’s not the map, it’s the players. I’ve been beaten by alliance premades in AV.

Yet another person using this silly construct! I swear, some streamer is peppering their content with it and a bunch of people are parroting it in their own speech.

Google Episode #63 – The Making Of World Of Warcraft With Vanilla Dev, John Staats and skip to the part at 3:24:50
In that interview a former Vanilla WoW developer admits that everyone at Blizzard was for the Horde.

I play both factions, I switched from horde to alliance.

Do you want to know what the real difference is?

Attitude, the alliance in classic 2019 don’t want to win, they are only there for gear and or reputation and nothing else matters.

Granted that’s a generalization, but it’s accurate regarding the faction.

Because Blizzard is in your games telling you to, “just let them win…” Right?

Yeah, it sucks doing AV as a PUG. Now you can maybe understand what the Horde has been through the last month or so trying to beat premades as a PUG… now almost all Horde groups in AV feel like premades… because we L2P. :rofl:

And you would have been beaten far more soundly by said premades if the map were mirrored. I’ve played both sides at most points in the game’s lifespan. AV as it stands right now is far easier to play as horde than it is alliance. Both the terrain and the NPCs. The only exception being the bunker archers vs the tower archers. Alliance bunker archers are nastier to deal with.

We can start listing the pros and cons of each faction, still won’t win you games. Horde pugs have beat high rank premades, without comms, without healers even and countering the pala bubble cheese.

Has to be said again, if you want 100% balance, go retail. This is a flawed game, a flawed game that we have known and disected over 15 years.

Seriously just adapt, we have done it, why can’t you? Its going to be a steep hill to climb for sure, you’ve been premade spoiled for far too long.

I’m tired of hearing this. Alliance premades were breaking the game for… the Alliance! You can tell yourself Blizzard catered to the horde, but really they were catering to Alliance. Premades thought they could flush the queue all day long leaving a trail of half empty av’s behind them.

This, but unironically.

i mean, this image really says it all when it comes to the absurd imbalance of the map. I’m not sure how horde players can honestly justify it tbh.

Roll Alliance, UNDEAD PRIEST. Until then, shut up.

Both factions have map advantages in different ways.

The problem is the Alliance players typically refuse to press their advantage because the time needed to win that way takes time and as you’re aware alliance players avoid spending time in actual content.

They do it in PvE as well; they will spend 2 hours farming gold to buy consumables to clear MC faster.

Telling you man, it’s attitude. Their attitude is so bad it’s actually painful to PuG sometimes because they give up before the gate even opens regardless of the map.

“Let them win” guy is in just about every game.

So is “you guys are crap” guy; in true irony this dude is usually underperforming.

Do a dungeon for the lulz, and if the group wipes do whatever reason they just quit.

Alliance is a faction of quitters.

I believe you are blinded by the horde mentality my friend. The alliance have complained about how the horde can back door the alliance base in two spots, but nothing has been done. Alliance have complained about the horde spawn cave being half the distance to mid from the alliance, but nothing has been done. Horde complain about alliance grouping up together to even out these advantages, twice in as many weeks horde get fixes. There isn’t a work around to even the matches. Blizzard has taken all the PvP players out of AV for alliance with this last fix. Pugs prefer to farm rams than attack a horde player.

*Mark Kern highly favored alliance

The only One that was Horde side was Chris Metzen but he was constantly finding barrier with other dev. When he wanted ogre and Naga as horde race.

80 % of the main dev were alliance favored that explain why the alliance side is much more developed. Alliance character were made first.

What you said was invented by your meta-narrative and its only in your head

So which is it?

Alliance don’t want to play the game so they lose or Horde favoritism so they lose?

Both?
