Alterac Valley is dead

I played all day, out of 30 alteracs, 20 was against russians.
People quit and don’t fight. The Russians make the game last as long as possible and camp the graveyard. 20 mins/bg, 50 honor points.

What a pleasure to play this game.

Considering their low numbers vs all EU players, I think you’re lying when you said 20/30 were Russian, 10 maybe, 5 would be more believable.

I’ve found Russia teams tend to end AV if it’s in a stalemate by sneaking in and 4-5 manning our boss without taking our base GY or bunkers. Alliance EU players tend to cause what they complain about by going Balinda at the start for some reason if it’s Rus.

In 20 minutes you got 50 honor points? Come on guys, if you make a thread, at least make it vaguely truthful and not hyperbole.

It’s not a lie, in general you are right, out of 30 alterac, only 5-10 are against the Russians. But now people are leaving AV instantly, so when you tag you have the majority chance of playing against Russians to replace people leaving.
I might think I’m unlucky, but people going crazy in the alterac chat, mentioning it’s the 10th in a row against russians… I think there’s going to be a big comeback of players today

relax relax, WoTLK will come in 5h and you will be able to do AV’s again

And about the honor, is not exaggerated either, I can take screenshots, some alterac I received 0 honor !!

A portion of people leaving is likely causing more people to seem like they get into more Rus games. I bet there’s been those who afk straight away, then 15 minutes later they join and get into the same AV again - I actually just got a warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing this has happened to some of those people.

But how? All you need to do is get a few HKs, even one.

Have you ever played against Russians? The majority of people are AFK, the fights are 40vs20 (in the best case). Most of the time they have a dozen deaths on their side at the end of the game. It’s totally unplayable. People who try to relativize I think you don’t play alterac.

Half of the players leave the BG when they see Russians and people leave it constatly afterward. It’s not rare to enter a BG against russian just for this reason.

The matchmaking will always replace players who left the BG.

I finished with my BG farming a couple of days ago of PvPing for about 3 weeks each day - and I played all games - so unless EU players have gotten even more lazy the past two days (which is actually highly likely) I still think the OP is a little over the top.

That’s why I never left Rus games, it just adds to the problem and makes it poor for those who join to replace those leaving literally just because of Russian names.

Maybe you do but a lot of people leave the BG.

I had no issue with Russian months ago because they were just trying to win as fast as possible. But now they’re focusing on making it unfun for us and make it last as long as possible.

This is why people are leaving and why they are upset about it.

same here, I finished farming my main character and there was not much battle against the Russians. Now i’m farming my reroll and since yesterday it has changed, 60% AV are against Russian. Play and you will see.

yes I do the same. I stay, the BG ends, I tag again, and finally I play again against Russians.
I tried to wait before re-tagging but in the end I replace the people who left… it’s endless.

Who the hell are you anyway ? Do you work for Putin’s propaganda team ? As soon as someone mentions russians you show up and defend them and try to deny everything as lies.

Right, well, now that ive played AV for a few days, i can attest that there really are quite a bit of russian groups. Id say 1 in every 3-4 games. However, the pre-made ones are only about half of that (those would be the ones with insane coordination, where every1 is rounded up like cattle in the graveyards and farmed till reinforcments=0). Have had like 3-4 victories against russian groups and many more games where it went fine. So i do believe you are blowing this out of proportion.

That being said, the pre-made groups are absolutely catastrophic, it really does make you want to quit the game. Not much blizz can do about it though, i do not think there is an effective way to punish these players with the resources they are given.

Who the hell am I? Who are you?

Btw yes, the overwhelming majority of things said about Russian teams in AV on these feedback forums are lies.
