Am I the only one playing alliance and constantly queing full 3*5 man premade in AB ?
I mean, the current premade system allow group <= 5 ppl to queue together as a soloqueue, worst than that it seems to be the only way to have decent PvP uptime playing horde.
But the result is 95% lose / win ratio in BG such as AB for alliance, not to mention that on top of having premades horde also have shaman and better racials so there is literaly no way to compete when playing alliance, since most people soloqueue in the same way horde 5 man queue : to play faster.
At this point it’s almost impossible to rank up as alliance having a medium / low playtime, as it’s the spirit of SOD to be able to enjoy all kind of content with low play time, am I wrong ?
I personaly believe that the easiest fix to that unbalancing would be either totaly remove 5 man queing from soloquers’ (but that would destroy queue time on most cases for horde) ; or enable cross faction BG that would fix at the same time the class / racial unbalancy thoughts teams + the constant disparity of having one team full premade and the other full soloquers + difference in queue time for horde and alliance.
What’s your thoughts on this ?

Devs refuse to acknowledge PvP exists so they will do nothing.
Oh and humans lose out on their weapon skills too, because you know, PvE is only supposed to get balanced.
Its because horde has 1 min queues in group and 1hour queues solo.
They are not premades. They are literally LFM Fast AB queue and invite anyone.

95% of time i see 5*3 man its a well built group at least, 1 healer 1 shaman and rest dps so systematicaly have a better class optimisation as well, even if it’s not a discord try harding premade.
Edit the day after : Based on what i explained, i’ve made 25k honor out of 10 hours of constant bg as soloquer alliance side (can’t find any group, cause why group when you can instant join for instant lose ? a pure nonsense is born)
Can you only imagine how many hours it would require to rank up on last ranks ? I suspect there mathematicaly won’t be enough hour in a week to even reach one breakpoint at this rate of unbalance, might kill the game faster than you built it (wich i didn’t believe was possible).

I literally cannot stomach anymore Alliance BGs, at least this week. I can count on barely… BARELY… Two hands the amount of victories I’ve had as Alliance since the last reset. If it wasn’t for AB weekend and increased honor earnings, a lot of spare time this week; then I wouldn’t have been able to progress at all. Enhancement and elemental shamans are laying waste to everything in BGs isn’t helping much on the motivation either

Season of free honor for horde and a middle finger to alli
It’s not even fun as horde tbh, I’m not the type that get any sense of enjoyment or entertainment from beating a bunch of solo semi afkers with no healers
GG boys we beat them! yeah fook alli, EZ bro!
zug zug brains
Any horde that actually enjoys the state of pvp in sod is the type of individual that likes easy wins/freee honor/no challenge win/false sense of achievement

Yep, they fixed the premade problem by making it way worse. I like sod and appreciate the content, but the BG fix one of those things that are just pure insanity (beside 40 energy mutilate and shamans).

well, idk if you can call horde premades as “premades” its 5 ppl who got invited to “LFG fast Que AB” … sure you usualy got at least 1 shaman per group (since there are a LOT of shamans) and sometimes you get healer (not always) but if there are 3 grps with healers, that means 3 healers … dont tell me you dont have 2-3 healers in AB … that hapens very rarely id say …
the premades are basicly - instead of pressing the que button, you invite 4 random ppl and then press the button … and thats where communication ends … i usualy dont even know who is in my premade inside the BG
so i wouldnt exactly call these things “Premades”
thats for AB … as for WSG, id agree, there are some groups that only look for good, geared players, have mage or druid FC, healer, have set roles and communicate at least via chat… BUT ive seen quite a few alliance groups do the same … and still most of the horde groups are just random LFG guys with 0 requirements and coordination what so ever

Dwarf shamans and tauren paladins. Ez ez balance.
And dont tell me shaman = paladin. I do bloodmoon as ally and pala is nothing compared to shaman. Immunity and freedom for a couple of sec is annoying sure, but nothing beats a class that takes 3 guys to kill while he twoshots them 1 by 1
Ok lets think about this for a second.
They fixed it by not allowing RAID groups?
That’s like some smart assteenager fix to a problem they don’t want to fix
Purposely faking an attempt at fixing this
Or the only other option is they made the simple mistake of not allowing ANY groups to queue for a BG?
Oversight? Mistake? Or on purpose?
you decide

Id say most dont enjoy it at all.
Atleast people I know are bored.
Alliance gives up way too often doesnt matter how many shamans you have.
AB map is just horde favored as well making it easy to defend flags compared to allys.
The quicker queue in grps does obviously not help either.
Its just the same situation we had back in classic rerelease and tbc and I highly doubt nerfing shamans would change anything even nerfing racials on horde side would probably not change much either.
ngl i’m glad i rolled horde when i see how unskill/broken shaman are atm
SL lock that probably got farmed in a duel, has no clue what he is talking about in the first place - next.
sure thing lil brainlet , go cry somewhere else
