saw this on MMO-champion

Any chance at getting a few more bgs for low levels, random bgs xp <3
Actually yes! We are going to redistribute when battlegrounds come available. More at lower level. Also Random BG at level 20.

we got AB years ago, but too many mount whiners, think EOTS or ???? will spur some interest
 
There are alot of possibilities but alot of the bgs would require mounts to be effective, I think that's what makes warsong the go to for the 19 bracket is it doesnt need a Mount to be a strong choice. Everything else is so spread out that if you need to respond to something by the time you get to where you need to be, it is over. So those with constant speed increases (Paladins, Druids, Shamans) reign supreme
 
Twin Peaks or riot

tweet does not answer the question aimed at 19's below:

20-29's and 30-39s played AB's prior to mounts with no issues years ago, druids and shamans were not game breaking then. many who played those brackets would specificly que AB because they were bored with WSG.

majority of the twinks playing now never played in that era, or those brackets, they have no experience of BGing hoofing it. when mounts/training used to cost more and gold was not so easy to make, there were players in higher brackets and 51-60 AV still with no mounts and games went fine

agree...since twin peaks is in a way like WSG

gilneas may work too since there are only 3 bases over AB with 5
 
twin peaks would just be a worse wsg dunno why ud want that unless for graphic diversity purposes

happy with wsg tbh dont think other bgs r suitable for 19s atm

I reckon the bridge has an opportunity to change a lot with the mid strat. Also TS'ing off the ledge at Ally flag.

Also seeing WSG so much is just shit.

kinda see your point but the map is 2x the size of wsg and id imagine how frustrating it could be to play vs certain comps
 
No one will queue anything but wsg. I bet you.
What will happen :
These new bgs will come out
1, everyone will try them
2, achievement whores will try all achieves
3. Everyone will re queue gulch and nothing else.

2 times the size gives Melee more room to breath

cant agree with this, too much open area for melees to ever be able to cross the map vs a decent team

the inside areas are even smaller than wsg its just the field is abnormally large

A melee should be able to sneak / rush round the sides. If a team wanted to prevent this from ever happening they would be split up, leaving each area vulnerable for a mid push due to healers not being able to catch everyone until they group up. If the team decided to just send one person to go and get him, that person could be killed, not accounting the time it would take them to travel there either.. If they send a DPS and healer the mid is weaker. I believe this would bring 2 things, more interesting mid games. And coupled with the way the flag rooms are built, an opportunity for good O D.

Scratch the 20-29's mark, you obviously forgot about the fact that druids didnt have travelform back then untill 30 etc, so yeah, they'll have a bigger impact than they used to have.

assuming range>melee in 1v1 itll still be 9v9 in mid until the melee is killed and itll turn into a 10v9, u wont rly be able to sneak around sides unless enemies have terrible awareness and/or lack coordination and even if u could, what r u gonna do

o and d likely wont work considering how small the base is and less in favor of kiting teams and again a mid team will plow an o and d team when the o try to walk through mid
