So I rerolled alliance… the state of bgs atm is just un-playable for horde so therefore I quit all my horde toons and only on alliance side. Sad to see but true, I don’t enjoy sitting in ghost form all game so even if I lose games on alli I’m happy with even getting a chance to kill others. Best choice I’ve made in a while Tbh… Sadly.

I’ve been pugging with my alliance tonight and it’s even worse than pugging on horde. Still up against mostly full premades.
yeah its harder to solo queue as alliance because when u dont hit premades u still lose most of the time, in the min-max state of classic all the fun is really sucked out of solo q so that pvers can queue as 10 and get capped so they can get weapons

There’s no difference on either faction. You can’t argue Horde don’t premade when most Horde groups premade anyway. The main benefit to Alliance is shorter queues.

Yes, exactly. This is painful. I’ve just been doing WSG and I know how to play and what to do (like kill EFC, help our FC, communicate in chat etc) and am doing it but our team is just not winning. There was only one game I won today and that literally consisted of a warrior from Vampire Clan leaving the game so he could get his mage alt in and flag carry. I have friends alliance side too I’m just trying to get everything in order while slowly ranking before joining them in games but I’m about ready to just stop solo queuing because this is nuts. I rolled an ally to try the other side in PVP mainly and am seriously questioning my decision.
No one made you reroll. You chose to do it. Definitely gonna be fun to do AV from the horde side once I get my shaman to the appropriate level though.
Should we tell him boys? Enjoy solo queuing on ally. lmao

Interesting perspective.
I did the opposite, and am happy.
Enjoy waiting 5 hrs to get in 2 game haha and 2 hrs 30 mins if u wait just for that 1.m AV along with not getting logged out after 30 mins if u go AFK while waiting for that queue

Ye enjoy alliance AV with a loss rate of 99.99% and the only way to farm rep is by turning in blood since you will never ever do any objectives.

AV weekend is a better win rate, lost plenty when the allinace actually tried. Shorter queues sound pretty great. Leveling again sounds pretty bad though.
Yeah, a whole 3 AV’s a day if you’re queued the entire time kek

Go ahead, go. Reroll. Be in for a nasty surprise.
AV weekend is just the same scam as every other AV. Its just bad on both sides man. The sooner you realize it the easier it is getting past it. As I already mentioned I have chars on both sides and its bad, regardless of where you play (if you play solo). For AV I think it is because of the instant queues allis tend to just afk if things go south or barely bother anyway since they can always requeue (compared to a 2 hour waiting time… so horde tends to play the bg. Atleast I do).
For ab and wsg the same principal holds in pug v pug… 20 min wait time vs instant queues. That said most of my solo queues end up vs premades that rofl stomp me and my pug team. There is something off with the queue in classic because the minute you get into a team of +5 you somehow reduce the amount of premades you face.
Of course people will deny it and I have zero evidence to back this up, but it sure as hell feels like it everytime I actually queue with a team (again this goes for both sides as well).
You are going to be sadly disappointed my friend. 
The simplest solution is to have all BG use premades in a priority system that matches premade against premade and pug against pug, and if no premade vs premade is available in a reasonable amount of time, then premade against pug.
This reduces the amount of premades pugs face and gives allies a chance to win AV.
I agree that would be perfect, even if we queue into premades “sometimes” it beats the 90% rate at least for horde as well
@Blizzard please listen to this! Please enable premades for all BGs using a premade priority matching system!
Horde: Alliance are really bad at PvP!
Also Horde: Please ban premades, I’m tired of getting owned!
