Horde vs Alliance Premading MAP/RACIALS

[Stubs]

It is pretty obvious that the playstyle is different from Alliance to Horde and from Horde to Alliance

and its also pretty obvious that some racials are better than others so i just wanna hear peoples thoughts on what side is best for premading and maybe you can explain why in comments

 

[Ondura]

Alliance obv, because we get Dwarf females.

 

[Yowza]

nelf racial over everything

 

[Jetlife]

horde def feels a bit advantageous especially since the current setting is mostly around mid fights and horde racials like berserking / blood fury make dps excel harder in general, as well as other things like blood elf rogue feel more viable in bgs. if swiftness pots werent better than darkflight alliance would have a good strength in that aspect for getting fast caps with druid. strongest class/race combination alliance gets is probably like night elf disc or gnome bm monk

 

[Drayner]

Horde's base is better for kiting and BELF racial.

 

[Eliot]

The horde base is superior for kiting and mid fight. Horde racials are better for pvp.

 

[Hurrx]

The horde base is superior for mid fight

can you explain this?

also id say there isnt much of a difference but horde might have a small advantg

Horde racials > Ally racials for premades.

Belf silence is nice but troll zerk, gob jump, are pretty much superior to any other racials given a premade scenario.. Nelf is nice for smelding when an enemy offense runs focus dps burst on you.. but that's about it

 

[Vianco]

smeld is better than any other racial for premading imo, however overall horde has better racials and also map because of their resto hut

 

[IhazBankz]

horde has it better imo

 

[Yîng]

Horde, cause they can't really get pushed into a corner like ally can at their gy

kinda agree with this feels like horde has way more area to use near their own graveyard

 

[Savee]

horde have
better gear gf/non
better racials
closer to stv
btter map side with more jumps
easier to kill efc in alliance base with no jumps / minor tricks available


Horde >

The resto hut is closer to the horde graveyard than it is on the alliance side. This provides an advantage when pushed back or playing defensively during a mid fight.

I prefer Ally Resto hut because it actually faces the GY. If things get really messy it's easier to get, plus if you're on horde i find it always gets taken by the other team when pushed back.

If the horde gets pushed back, the fights are always around the hut due to it only being a few yards away from the spawn. At alliance side, it's more like 20-30y away, so if the alliance team gets pushed back very deep, the horde team will have full control of the resto hut and the fights will happen at the graveyard rather than the actual hut. If horde gets pushed back, they can circle their hut and LoS more effectively.

X Y Z

X is the alliance team, Y is the horde team and Z is the resto hut near alliance graveyard. If the horde have a clue they will zone the allys and prevent them from taking it even if it faces the graveyard.

 

[Blurz]

well yeah, if Alliance get pushed right to the back that's a different story.

Another great point when you rez as horde you can heal someone who is near the Hut from upstair (the left entrance of the horde resto hut) it avoid you to get kicked from stealth but i assume nobody play rogues in premades but still avoid fears/HOJs... You can also, if you rez even more in the back of the horde GY, heal someone who is behind the horde resto hut, another great point, the horde resto hut is a giant pillar that permit you to LoS most casts, the alliance permit you that aswell but the alliance got some problem with the 3D patch sometimes you are stuck in the little corner if you are too close of the hut, the only thing that can make you stuck horde side is the little campfire right side of the entrance of horde hut.

That's my opinion

The map favors Horde due to the slope of it, the position of the huts, how the area around the H Hut is laid out, the H fence, and jumps in general. Meld is easily the best racial, but the rest of the Alliances racials don't compare to Hordes.


Is any of it game breaking? Not really

I think the Horde Hut can be game breaking tbh
