It's Virtually Impossible for Alliance to Win Korrak's Revenge

I had a pally tank sarcastically whisper me that I had good healing 'cause he died quickly to one of those elite horde npc abominations.

Horde didn’t even push with their boss and still won. I am just learning and it’s been a very un fun experience to say the least. My sympathies for my alliance lol

This event is bringing out non-PVP alliance players. And Horde players do tend to have better raid gear. My win ratios in normal Bags seem to be about 55% horde wins lately.

oh boy…

just had to afk out of an alliance group because they couldn’t even manage to make it to ibgy.

they just wanted to farm mobs outside galv.

but sure… mAp biAs :crazy_face:

Your words. I think there’s enough facts in the thread that you’re welcome to ignore if you’re just troll posting.

Blizzard - fix your screw up!

those “facts” are from people wanting to cry about some sort of imaginary imbalance.

there are also plenty of very reasonable and sensible counters to those alleged facts.

Just won 3 out of 7 matches. that’s what 42% - 44%? so, not impossibur.

I played two matches tonight and won both.

Last night I played probably 10 matches and won most of them.

Both times as alliance. Overall it seems to be about a 50% win rate, which is where it should be tbh.

Maybe you need to communicate with your team? Stop turtling?

Or were they trying to get to Galv and couldn’t get through the double-strong NPC guards?

You might want to refer back to the screenshots showing Horde NPCs having double the HP of Alliance ones. When people win, they want to attribute it to their skill, even when they have an advantage.

They said health of Alliance NPCs has been boosted but they should have given the Alliance the same artificial advantage the horde had for the same amount of time.

i’ve been running this since day 1, and i’ve never seen any group go for galv… so that seems unlikely.

as far as i know, it could just be a display error caused by the scaling.
beyond that, if it was “broken”, it would have been fixed by now.

just so we’re clear here, i main alliance.
alliance have been playing in a less than optimal manner.
watch how far away from the objectives they are when grouped up and fighting.
take note of how many can’t resist hitting that cute little sheep/frog/purple spiky thing.

you’re blaming blizzard for the players being bad :stuck_out_tongue:

Sure, if they can ensure that only those Horde and Alliance playing during the health imbalance experience the counter-imbalance.

And I’ve won nearly every AV I’ve played since the fix, just like before. Those handful of NPCs weren’t the issue, just as many have said.

Odd that they are never worried about negative Alliance outcomes and that these things coincidentally favor the horde.
Tol Borad launch, anyone?

Gonna jump in here and say that I’ve been leveling a Night Elf hunter from 95 to 120, and have only won one KR. Just one. It’s unreal just how much the Horde wins, and honestly, is the reason I will never ever play PvP.

I leveled my Horde Paladin from 100 to 120 in Korrak’s Revenge without losing a single battle. Horde won every queue that I joined. Alliance looked confused, flustered, unaware of what Alterac Valley is all about. Really strange considering they used to win Alterac Valley all the time in Classic and TBC.

Well my impressions are most of the old alliance players unsubbed or faction swapped, I find far more new players in alliance these days who find various bgs and systems to be pretty new. Speaking from only my experience though.

The first time I got in, The alliance pushed all the eay down and we won in 40mins

^ this was only due to lazy Horde casuals, the map itself actually favors the Horde.

Now that it’s no longer a simple PvE rush where the other team (Horde) is afk, Alliance is struggling.

The Alliance is just trash at pvp. This is nothing new.

At the moment I’m 3 wins and 9 losses on this toon.
