Also, what happened to adding 1 horde for 1 alliance to AV's? I'm pretty tired of starting an AV with 12 alliance and 38 horde. There's zero chance of winning a game that starts like that because the psychological damage is already done.

And by then half of those 12 are sitting AFK in the cave. It's sad that people feel compelled to sit afk in a cave and do nothing while their 15$ goes to waste.

lol fail alliance character on horde avatar.
It really depends on the battlegroup. I've done plenty of AVs on both Horde and Alliance toons, and it can vary quite a lot from one battlegroup to another.

Q u o t e:
We plan to do this in a future patch.
Sigh i hate AV only bg where you can do ZERO pvp and still win/lose (Although im not saying thats smart way to play av,however, my point still stands). Can you mabye make either turn in SotA or Av for 4/5 mark turn in? Just another option.../shrug
It's not the map. And who dominates is always based on whether or not Horde leave people to defend IBGY.
Regardless of the winning or losing ratio between factions, the BG is an unbalanced mess that needs to be mirrored in order for it to stop being a joke.

Imo Mirror Ab then too please so horde dont have easier/faster access to best 3 node combo in AB.

Q u o t e:
It can vary by battlegroup, yes. Overall we don't have any big balance changes planned for Alterac Valley at this time.
or you know, give the side with less ppl a buff like in wintergrasp, im sick of joining av games where we are outnumbered in as bad as 10 to 1 sometimes.

That BG is mirrored enough for it not to matter. Besides, Stables are always capped before Farm unless there's no Crusader Aura alliance side at the beginning.

No. Tenacity is terrible in WG it'll be terrible everywhere else. Either let AV die like another poster said, or fix it. I'm tired of playing a BG where the objective isn't actually to kill other players, but to kill a bunch of terrible no-brain NPCs with too much health.
