Horde

[dirt]

SO i dont know if yall remember that i did a w/l as horde solo q for the last few months. 300 games played--268 losses and 32 wins. Sound bout right? level 20s allied races, enchanted all my gear, even the free shit they came with, and played until i hit 30. i think i saw 5 maybe 6 horde twinks the whole time. and 95% of the game i swear it was an alli premade. Am i missing something?

Damn dude, how you last that long? 2/3 losses in a row and im walking away from keyboard to do something else. Worked way to hard on my toons to get farmed game after game after game by 3 druids and 3 arcane mages and 4 disc every game haha

That W/L is definitely below average - though I will agree that currently Alliance have more twinks.

bruh dont hate the game hate the player

You're not wrong, @dirt
Only suggestion I can make is to try playing at other days/times from your usual. I had a good morning on Horde this morning - but now I am having a bad afternoon.
Sometimes get a good day. On average it's bad though.

This is why I’m hearing a horde toon. Although your w/l is below average im pulling 85% win ratio on alliance and to be fair it’s just not fun. 30min queues sometimes to get into a team with 8 healers so I end up dps as a resto Druid. Then to get told by the 7 other twinks in that game I should be healing.... not to mention when we do go up against twinks and we are undermined half of the alliance twinks afk at the smallest sign of losing.

It wasn't that long ago, maybe a few months/earlier in the xpac, that horde was dominating pretty severely with premades or just generally better geared toons. Things shift around between xpacs, patches, and players joining/leaving.

Theres already horde guilds stepping up to combat the tyranny of cogger and his wacky companions. I've found those games where you're outgunned are when you really grow as a player skill wise/knowledge wise. You can always just practice terrain jumps as a ghost like the rest of too or work on your picnic hosting skills.

Thor fucking Odinson I hate auto correct. I meant to type gearing not hearing.

I think a large portion of this is due to the fact that quest rewards are heavily in alliance's favour for nearly all classes.

Unless you want to spend the £30 to faction change your toon, you will roll alliance if you're searching for bis.

Verily.

It’s not them.
Most of the time it’s just random twinks from random servers. Majority of them being from BH or any jaja realm. Occasionally you do see some from KT.
Alliance in general just has more players. There’s no one force that’s driving this imbalance.

 

[Chops]

It'll switch, and then it'll switch again. I've noticed a perceptible uptick in horde twinks recently. Y'all keep it growing.

We've been consciously trying to que in smaller groups and we're working on building a culture of ending blowouts quickly and not GY farming. We don't want to poison the bracket simply by being super active. We're aware of the potential and we're working against it

That's strange, I started the bracket this week and have been running into literal horde premades with 3 druids and 2 shamans from bleeding hollow. And when it isn't a premade horde just has a bunch of druids or shamans in general, which happen to be the top 2 meta. If it's a bg like wsg I can't really solo a fc if he's got 2.6k hp AND has a 2k hp druid following him as well. We really only win Arathi basin because it's harder to lock down all the nodes. Eots is just them zerging a base at a time while controlling mid, so they 3 cap us and get flag caps all game. I might be lucky enough to ninja cap blood elf tower or something but that dosn't last long enough to actually cap it before like 9 of them come and take it back.
