Nah alliance still win 100% of games, at least those smart enough to premade it
So far I see, percentages reversed in favour of the horde.
How comes?
Easy: watch the map. Horde starts closer, can chokepoint alliances at IB, literraly blocking a raid with 2 men, multiple roads etc. This map is the 2nd version of the original AV, which was even worse (for alliance).
For the horde is enought to let some frostmages and hunters behind and alliance will be fooked big time.
Nothing to see aside usual unbalances =) Guess that after alliance will be done with reputation grinds, AV will drop down

Seems about 50/50 for me, but the queues and rep most be extremely slow as horde, long queues and long games! 
And it will just get worse as more alliance gets exalted! 
Its around 100% win for me atm
Funny… Won 3 games yesterday vs Ally premades. I guess they were not smart enough to adapt to horde random group owning the hell out of them at IB choke point.

Wow, imagine bragging about winning as a pre-made vs a non premade

Yeah, those early rush tactics where the only way to beat all the built-in horde advantages so far. Shorter distances, backdoors, easier tower grabs etc etc.
Lost 5 AV’s in a row now. Zerg gets split, then people drip back 3 at a time instead of waiting for all the dead peeps to come back alive then mass rush (heck, even belinda can then be interrupted).
Allies also not helping each other. When the zerg gets intercepted, all dismount mass gank the intercepters, mount up and you can still beat the horde.
How the f do you make a premade in AV? You can’t join as a group right? Or does one person wait until an instance pop up and the rest quickly browse through the yuge unsorted list of instances and pick the same number and hope they still make it before it’s full?
i do not know but it seems like a lot know
thats what I wanted to say, maybe the pugs losing now because the good players are already done or quing together. Today I played 5 Av and won 4 with a simple strategy: Jump in the horde at balinda sapper + rammstein + ww + fear and gg wipe for them. After that we can gank them at the bunker behind balinda so they cant abuse the pixel jumping.
You have shorter road to dun baldr and your cave is not litterally infront of alliance forces like stormpike cve

An age old problem. Played properly, Horde can win despite the longer run and choke points. What used to work well…Def towers, def Galv, take the two bunkers and destroy them, skip Bal and don’t take Stonehearth GY (moves the Alliance respawn north making there harder to control). It does mean needing more support at the SH bunker though. Once the bunkers are down then push north. Prior to that let the stealthies do their thing up there.
You get a proper game rather than a rushfest and a much greater chance at winning.

You are so delusional if you think that horde has more advantages in AV.
wut?
Belinda has a tight choke point where it’s extremely easy for 2 mages, to majorly slow alliance, and is a quicker run for horde. The 2 towers for horde to get have a nice back door root, where you can get in quicker, with less adds, taking less damage. You can completely avoid the bridge at ally base and run up the hill, straight into the alliance base. You can pull van on his own without the adds. This version of AV enormously favors horde, it’s hilarious how 1 sided it is lmao.
*You can pull Drek solo as well.
*Balinda can be easily guarded with just a few mages/hunters.
*If alliance runs past SH bunker (which they rarely do) it’s much, much easier to cap horde towers.
List just goes on. Don’t be delusional now that you are starting to lose games.
ugh gave up on ranking, too painful as a solo player dealing with brainlets and 2 hour games since horde turtle and do nothing
It favours rush strategy on ali side. Its your problem that you let then rush.
There are no advantages. You just letting ali win for free becouse you play av wrong. Defend in choke point at graveyard and you will win.
Far from letting alliance free win, but please do keep yourself delusional.
