Merc making BGs worse

Math and Blizzard doesn’t always go together well (and I will get suspended from the forums for making this post, lot of snowflakes monitoring…)

Player made this comment in old forums:
“merc mode is awesome for horde, you can join the overpopulated side and still get fast queues”

So one side has better que’s cause there’s more players, so go to that side and flood it more making the side without better que’s even worse.

Math, it’s hard!

Man, it’s too early for this…you are firing shots in so many directions. Merc mode is literally only in existence to lower queue times for the more populated side. That’s it’s sole purpose. It works in that manner. It is not intended to do anything positive for the lower populated side.

Also, I wouldn’t quote players unless you’re arguing with said player…it makes you look hare-brained. That’s how people start believing the wrong things. People say dumb ____.

Someone find a mic so Josh can drop it. Careful, now. You’ll be branded as a snowflake by some rando.

Heh, that’s funny. Cause how many times have we seen on HORDE side non-full BG groups starting out with 7/10 players on Horde.

BOOM, MIC DROP!

You see horde start out not full most times because after our 7-20 minute wait, we get involved in other things as well or even go afk and miss the queue. Horde fills up pretty fast once the initial people miss their queue.

Heh, that’s funny. You’re trying to correlate two things that don’t correlate.

edit: I’d include the mic drop, but that’s hard on the equipment and replacing them can get pricey.

That’s only because our queues wait until we go to the restroom before they pop.

Every non-epic bg I played this week had horde start out with 7/8/9 people while alliance had a full 10. As merc, reg alliance and horde. I guess it’s easier to make excuses.

8 horde equals 10 alliance so it’s Blizz way of giving alliance a fighting chance …

Edit:- Actually I forgot to account for the horde mercs buffing alliance teams …so it’s more like 5 horde equals 10 alliance .

It certainly seems that way :joy:

I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen 20-25 Ally somehow held off/stalled by a much smaller 12-15 man Horde defense force

I’ve actually seen 7-8 Horde hold a tower versus 15-16 Alliance, it’s a joke sometimes

This is nothing new with the tower. It’s how I used to win av back when “horde always lose this” was a thing. Stack 5-10 in tp or ibt and watch the struggle.

I was mercing yesterday and I got called out as a merc by an alliance druid with 122K HP - I offered him a fish feast. The other alliance healer had 62K HP fully buffed. I don’t think mercs are your problem?
