Return AV premades. Alliance cannot win at all without premades.
Also, if you do Classic+ instead of TBC, make sure to add arena. Arena is the only part of retail I miss, but it isn’t enough by itself for me to go back.
facepalm
It’s odd but I actually enjoyed fighting alliance premade as horde. Trying to organize a bunch of randos into defending “RECALL OR RE-QUEUE”, and “Wipe then 3x and they give up.”
Trolling premades as a mage was probably the most fun thing to do. But for pug alliance, it couldn’t have been fun starting shortstacked (15 v 40 etc) much of the time from all their broken lobbies- those games weren’t even fun as horde.
That being said, with how long Q times are on horde for AV- I think allowing 40 man full premades on both sides is a good idea. Ranking horde will still play WSG for the most part. It would simultaneously make AV more competitive and take down the sweatiness of WSG by a factor or two.
