Why are so many of the top arena players in the alliance?

Are alliance racials rigged and need to be nerfed?

orcs still have the best racials for pvp, overall.

the meta really likes night elves and dwarves right now, but that’s destined to change in sl

Probably because dark iron dwarf can counter claw goes and like said above me nelf is insane too(can meld cc, bolt/Gpy, free stealth for feral/rogues).

It would be really good imo if racial were shifted into another pvp talent slot so I could play the best race on all of my char ‘’ undead’’ ^.^

The Alliance also has better PvP gear.

Because meld is extremely broken, seriously such a tilting racial.

I think this is unintentional due to them not wanting us to even have 1 piece of PvE gear equipped. Raiders beat us all.

Legit just because they happen to be on ally.

The ally racials are a little better especially nelf and human for some classes. That said if Chan and Jah wanted to play horde they’d have the same cr on horde.

It just doesn’t really matter that much…

People go to the faction were they think they’ll find partners at the moment that happens to be horde on US, on Eu its ally.

I guess the point i want to make is that racials don’t really decide that many games and it’s silly to believe that the glut of top cr players being ally is due to racials and not the simple fact that they are the best players.

Alliance has cute gnome girls.

Clearly the superior choice. Gives an edge.

Negative. All the alliance pvp gear
Looks like butt.

I really think cross faction arena would be a great thing for the game, been pushing for this forever.

Cross faction anything would be good at this point.

Cross faction PvP should have been a thing back in Legion. No reason for faction vs faction in any version of instance PvP.

Yea there really isn’t a good argument against having it aside from the stream of 25$ microtransaction blizzard gets every time a streamer swaps over.

Both factions have great racials to be honest.

For Alliance specifically, Humans can go Relentless without being heavily punished for it against a lot of comps. Dwarves and Dark Iron Dwarves can use their racial to remove Claw/Male/Rogue stuff. Night Elves can meld whatever they want.

Dwarf Hunters are actually ridiculously strong against casters because of Form/Feign magic removal.

With the abundance of RMPs Night Elf is especially good because it is pretty easy to meld a Kidney Shot because it is often used after Garrote or DR tracking will often give away when the Rogue is going to use it, but yeah they can meld lots of things.
