1/10 bait too obvious.
How about you just actually rebalance the Alliance racials (if you can call then that) and then offer free Horde to Alliance transfers. That’s the REAL problem. Racial imbalances.
This same faction battleground is a bandaid to the real problem. And the real problem is racial imbalance, and then the player-made population imbalance for so many people wanting to be the best min-max pvp they can. If you actually fixed the real problem, instead of trying to appease the faction that is larger, and larger because of this root problem, you would have a real solution.
Instead you’re giving Horde players a free pass out of a player-made choice to roll the more populated pvp faction, which was chosen because of root PvP racial imbalances.

And yet arena participation ratios match pretty much precisely faction ratios on pvp servers, thoughts?

Yea, more Horde players casually PVP. Arena is for hard core. The population that does it has always been small but extremely vocal.

I’m looking to find out where this 50/50 win loss thing is when there were tons of premades. TONS. Also just turn it tf back on blizzard s1 isn’t gonna wait for anyone. Just do it for weekends at least.

You realize a population ratio of 1.5:1 queueing BGs at an equal rate creates queues that are very similar to 45minutes-1hour right? Assume there’s 1k alliance players in queue and 1500 horde, and games take 30minutes on average, the horde queue can never be less than 30 minutes.
premades will always be a thing but i think it was heavily accentuated by the fact horde werent able to do any real pvp for so long and it was only lasting for the weekend. so people banded together to be as efficient as possible. if it came back full time premades definitely wouldnt be the norm.

This is a absolute joke, you must be using an average across all servers, but i can tell you on ocean servers, alliance wins about 1 in 10 games.

That makes sense, but what bugs me is, there deff wasn’t a 50/50 win loss rate. People left and right posted about putting premades with other premades. Otherwise yeah if this was full time and it could go back to normal and this wasn’t a constant thing it’d be so much fun
And another great effort from the Horde babies into helping to turn this version into the retail garbage. Congrats, geniuses.

Same on horde dude, for me on US, when I heard about Same faction BGs I started off with 7 straight losses because of premades. It slowed down for sure, but 50/50 is a stretchhhhhh

I mean he said 50/50 win loss rate. What he didn’t mention was that like 75% of those games were versus pugs on either side. I wouldn’t mind some additional incentive to pug the bg. Even if it only affected horde side. Something like a 1 minute queue increase for each additional person joining you after 5 people. That way you can still party for free but with a 10/15 man premade you wait 5-10 minutes. With no time increase for alliance or maybe half the time increase for them.
edit assuming they can’t implement some sort of premade vs premade priority. Or even add both so there’s a better time window for a premade to get out of another BG.

Amazing change, can’t wait for it to be properly implemented. Please ignore the loud and salty MINORITY of alliance players that are trying to stop this from happening.

At this point I don’t think they, or anyone else pretending it won’t have reprecussions, are unaware of the damage that favoring Horde has done to retails faction balance, I think they just plain don’t care. Balance isn’t what they’re interested in, being continuously favored is.
