I am new to BGs (horde)

So today I was trying to get one win in random batlegrounds to get some honor. I am not a PvPer so obviously I am pretty bad.
But there is one thing that really bugs me out. I played like 12 battleground and we get STOMPED in all 12 of them in a row! I mean not even remotely close!
I took a look on scoreboard and I noticed that on the Alliance side there are always at least 7 guys with russian names from same server (premade I guess)
I never seen any premade on horde side.

How is this allowed ? Should blizz put them against other premades ? I suppose this is not fun for them aswell to win every BG in 5 minutes. Are BGs alliance dominated or was it just bad luck ?

Lately horde is just terrible terribly bad at this game, nothing to do with you, whenever the day, horde players decide to work together and have a solid communication, then winning a game should not be a problem.

Or you could go merc to alliance and see they are just as bad, and with equally bad luck running to premades. Only plus side is shorter queues.

Moved to alliance 6 months ago. Amazing pvp action, wpvp and bgs.

In every BG on the alliance side, you have at least 30% horde playing as mercenary.

To be honest, as of 170 bgs played since shadowlands release (around half as alliance in mercenary mode) I can tell there is no dominating faction.
Ofc if you play just a few games, you can get some bad streak, but in the long run it is pretty even.

Another thing is your play style, especially in a smaller sized battlegrounds. I often queue twin peaks / WSG, and try to pair with a rogue or druid to ambush EFC. I cannot count how many times we won against stronger teams (higher kills on the scoreboard) just by coordinating our assault on the enemy flag carrier.

As many don’t know Saltwater Potion (+30% dmg) stacks with berserking buff. In addition to that, flag carriers get a debuff in time, which makes capture the flag battlegrounds pretty good to queue solo.

Cheers.

How can this happen in horde side, when horde stomp us 99% of the time? Twin Peaks just ended after like 10-BG loss-streak. That Twin Peaks had us have 0 flags, they had 3 and graveyard camped us. There’s no escape. We just get stomped.

How can horde get stomped when they always win? It kinda boggles the mind.

Probably u were unlucky. Also note that every time I am doing. Bgs I am trying to be the positive guy. Thanking others asking simple tasks and I do give my best to turn the tides of war. I also. Play holy priest so I know how to destroy enemy dps bursts. In 40 man yes is another story. I suggest try the 10 the games first and try to be the best more positive team player. U will notice the difference

I’ve not played that amount of BG’s but even then I have the same impression that it’s about even wins in both sides usually. I can sometimes lose 3 in a row and then win the next 3…

That’s how it often is, people just remember lose streaks more clearly than wins, thus creating illusion of constantly losing.

Yeah, no I’m to proud to do that, but thanks for the offer, though if I wanted to do PvP I’ll just roll an alliance, no problem.

It’s been very bad on Horde side, just a lot of players seem new and run around like headless chickens.
