What happened to AV?

Alliance used to get smashed 100% of the time as horde pushed us back into our base.

Now everyone runs past each other just like they do in retail and it becomes a base rush.

What did they buff/change?

I imagine most people doing it just want the marks, so they want to win or lose ASAP.

Here’s what happened - AV went back to the way IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

AV in 1.10+ has always been the rush. Ally were just idiots for the middle phases of classic for some reason.

Nah man alliance weren’t idiots. It was the horde cave and horde racials that were the problem

This has been going on for much longer than the last 2 days.

Base race has been the meta for about 4 months. Horde defended in the past but it’s probably back to full boring mode from now on if we’re talking about TBC.

they pushed Horde starting spawn back on the map

AV is easy for alliance when Horde doesn’t PVP

At least AV is popping for those in BC…

NOTHING! Because it was ALWAYS players driven and not something wrong with the AV.

That makes a huge difference

They moved horde stating area back, like it should’ve been

Amen to that!

Uhm, no? They moved the horde ressurection cave back to being next to Drek. That’s literally huge and actually makes AV a near 50/50.

It’s easy when you don’t, but more fun when you do. I like it when Horde get cute and decide to turtle. It’s quite enjoyable to farm the bridge and watch your resources drop to zero.

In short 15 minute games > 30+ minute games, win or lose. Especially now that marks are more significant!

Couldn’t agree more.

While losing 99% of the time did suck at least there was some pvp action.

Now everyone just wants to drek or kek, ya I know efficiency and all that but damn, it’s so boring :frowning:

You want some horde to def base if your queues aren’t instant though, otherwise if you lose you get feck all honor and you’ve waited 20 odd minutes for 1 mark.

I’d agree if in P2 AV wasn’t majority Ally owned, and most of P6 majority ally owned as well. Ally have been dominating AV since Naxx released, this isn’t new. And it’s before the cave. But, if you want to be a victim, that’s fine.

The people doing AV hasn’t changed. If anything the teams are collectively less geared due to boosted characters. You obviously have to consider other variables other than “the alliance faction as a whole all the sudden get smarter!”. That’s the most extraordinary claim.

They fixed horde cave location so when both sides race, they pass each other in the middle of the field of strife…instead of arriving at Belinda before we do.
