Sooooooooo many people leave it now on offense that almost EVERY SINGLE EPIC QUE I click I end up in an offensive Wintergrasp all day (usually in one that’s half over with offense getting rolled) It’s at epidemic levels in the last few weeks its gotten worse than ever. I’ve heard of the rumor that its getting fixed/balanced but please… bring back blacklisting… Offensive Wintergrasp is driving people insane. I’ve probably seen more swear words in chat during Wintergrasp (cursing it) in the last month than I’ve seen in trade chat in the last 10 years.

Yeah its just total negligence that they haven’t disabled it by now. Its so cancerous to the queue. should just be turned off until repair

It’s going to be tuned next patch, Blizz already confirmed it.
Defense should be a lot more difficult to win then, I almost can’t wait

It’s still a crap BG. No one enjoys fighting 24 demolishers, even nerfed ones.
Hopefully it will be tolerable enough to keep people form leaving.

Blizzard doesn’t know how to balance things, though. So I’m predicting they just flip-flop it to where if you queue on defense it’s an auto loss, and then they don’t tweak it for 6 months to tune it down.

they did fix the demo bug, so offense teams can actually win if they dont afk.

That will never be the case, due to how the BG is structured. (Actually, I shouldn’t say that, but you’d have to REALLY try to make that the case. If the walls were as soft as paper, and the vehicles as tanky as a rock.)
Edit: No, I’m not referring to rock-paper-scissors.

I hope you’re right. I’m not a big fan of WG as it is, but it being a troll queue for 50% of the players who queue in has definitely been a pretty terrible situation for a while now.
Couldnt agree more. The changes they implemented made the Bg so one sided in favor of the defender it has becoem the most hated EBG of the lot. Those changes were never needed in the first place so now we will see some revisons.
Not trying to bash here but it never should have been modified to where it is today. Gosh the whole experience is so toxic and so many quit and just quit playing and chat about such things as “Wish we could blacklist this BG etc” or current TV shows. I try to play it out but when you get 20+ queues before ever seeing the defensive side of the BG it is really just not worth it. Yeah yeah I knwo changes are coming but much like the isle the negavitive perception will linger for some time.
this. it’s shocking
I just rotate characters with the debuff and fish for non-WG offenses lol.
Blizzard is such a trash company now. It’s sad. They’re like the Bioware of MMOs.
I don’t understand why they are waiting for season 2 to change these EBGs. go ahead and implement the changes, as they don’t directly effect arenas & RBGs

so blizzard knows that WG is broken, why not just remove from the que until its “fixed” and by blizzard fixed it will probably just be a 180 swing that D will always just lose now
You want it to be removed for 4 days…?
What a absolute sh*tshow this BG turned out to be. Come within 500yrds of the wall and 5-6 rpg’s come flying at you from half the map away. With the amount of wall cannons + siege engines + rpgs + players… you can’t even get close to the wall.
I’ve seen the patch notes and those changes won’t do anything to fix things (reducing the wall strength is probably the best change)
Give the forward bases rpg’s as well to at least counter their siege and cannons. Otherwise people have to ride back to the WS’s and pick them up from there. waste of time!
Here’s a thought. Let RPGs from attackers hit the wall ?
Might provide a totally new angle/element to the BG.
I’m gonna say that would be a bit too far.
Rogues = Win. Vehicles would no longer matter. A rogue would just have to Shadowstep into the base, pick up an RPGG from the nearby Workshop, then stealthily hit the final gate over and over again, and repeat.
Good point. Didnt thnk of that.
