If I play at the top of my game making top killing blows and doing the objectives better than any other players, I shouldn’t be losing 2/3’s of the time. At the end of the day, the evidence of losing some 66 games out of 100 speaks the loudest.
Take away the incentives that help stimulate some alliance participation and the horde will just have nobody to fight against anymore.

how are the other 14+ players playing?
that is what matters. 1 good player, 14+ have some amount
of baddies. Losses can happen.
AV is textbook here. its timer based. you can hold IBT like a champ. its the nitwits on noob hill or the horde equivalent that let the druid/rogue flip if only for 1 second who may ahve lost that AV.
1 second is all it needs to reset the burn timer. if only 3/4 people who were doing nothing…did that in the tower/bunker.

And if the Horde wants those incentives, they can faction change.
The fact you’re even using killing blows as a metric here shows that you don’t understand PvP, and how to judge if a match - or your own performance - is good or not.
I can get all the killing blows in the world. Doesn’t matter if I have no interrupts, I never press hamstring, I’m not keeping my MS up, I’m not CCing the healers, I’m not chaining said CC, ect ect.
Killing blows means nothing, always has, and always will. It is the most useless statistic of if a player is good or not, and is easily cheesed as well. I can just press execute on stuff that I never actually touched prior and top the statistic.
I’m tired of hand-holding Horde players on how deep faction imbalance was, and while it’s improving now, this wasn’t even how bad it got, and it still haven’t fully recovered outside some niche elements of rated PvP.
It was well below 25% before cross-faction was enabled.

So biased one of our races was used for marketable genocide and we still haven’t gotten a break from it.

The burning of Teldrassil is proof they like the Alliance more. I will not elaborate further.

The reading comprehension is atrocious.
This may be the single most hilariously wrong thing I’ve ever read on these forums.

On my alliance char I have war mode on all the time because the bonus is great and I never run into horde.
On my horde, I hover my finger over the War mode button and I die.

Alliance get a buff in random bgs as well to encourage people to queue, although it’s actually 50% not 30%.
It should at least be by region (since many servers/shards cross-realm naturally).
OCE for example has the inverse population balance, so something like 70% Alliance to 30% Horde (possibly worse) yet Alliance still gets the full 30% warmode benefit when it’s available.
There is really no point in them not having it active as with them being the vast majority it’s free, and inversely there is no reason for Horde to have active as the vast minority for only 10% which just lowers the risk even further for Alliance to get their free benefit.
Yeah warmode ruined OCE big time.
Because blizz decided to one side racials and cause mass migration of meta min maxers and left the alliance with casuals/rps.
Which also migrated to horde whats left on alliance is people that cant afford to ship x toons over or have more interest in alliance races to bother hopping or they really dont want to be rolled back rep wise 0 to everything.
Doesn’t seem like it to me because 99% of the crates I see are swarming with alliance and horde have no chance. Granted I’m part of the problem because I only have war mode on for gathering 
on rp realms its normally safe for alliance.
tho i usually keep it on for the bonus too, but i help out when i can.
we sometimes get a group of belves (from the same guild) that try n harass people where ever they can.
but back in bfa, horde did invade us in stormsong that it nearly crashed the area by constantly inviting horde from pvp realms like Bleeding hollow, area52, and so on.
also why i hate those realms

No, because there are far more horde players in War Mode than Alliance. People seriously don’t understand this buff; it’s a meter buff based on numbers. The more imbalanced it is towards one faction, the bigger the number. If you want the other side to have a lower number or none at all, then figure out a way to make the other side more incentivized so there’s an even number of players on both factions in War Mode or random BGs.
Outside of doing things like this; there aren’t many players on Alliance that actually want to or enjoy PvP. Horde has always been the PvP faction, so most players floated over to it because they enjoyed PvP. Alliance was the more PvE side, which a lot of the Alliance in War Mode only do it for the bonuses, otherwise you’d have even less players in War Mode then.
