Isle of Conquest - Daily Battleground - Epic Horde Fail 2/9/10

Today the daily battleground was Isle of Conquest. I did it on Wranngar and we won the first one I was in. It was one of the weirdest battles I have ever been in. This will give you an idea just how much the Horde suck in the battlegrounds and why Blizzard starts the battlegrounds off so unbalanced in the Hordes favor.

The battle started off 4 Alliance to 39 Horde as evidenced in this screen shot. I didn't think we had a chance, nobody would, we were outnumbered 10 to 1. Seems like kind of high odds doesn't it? We won this battle. At the 6 minute mark we had 28 players. At the end we had 40 and killed the Horde General, Overlord Agmar, for the win as evidenced in this screen shot. We started off outnumbered 10 to 1 and won... It took 28 minutes to win it, imagine how fast we could have won it if we had actually started off even. Once in awhile you get a really good group together and this was one of those times even though they trickled in over 8 or 9 minutes.

Alterac Valley 2/8/10

The Alliance is still having a really bad time in Alterac Valley. I fought in 1 battle on Brieanna a loss. That wasn't entirely our fault though, we started off outnumbered 28x40. That is pretty bad considering the people in there range from 71-79. I was in queue the entire time I was on and that was the only battle that came up. I was in queue for over 2 hours before that one came, the queues are incredibly long lately for some reason and we are starting off outnumbered most times, it is getting to be just like the 80 slot.

I fought in 5 battles on Wranngar, all losses. He was queuing up a lot faster but it didn't really matter, we were starting off so outnumbered it was unbelievable, 4 to 1 in one battle... The funny thing was there were always 3 or 4 battles going on at the same time and we were still starting off outnumbered. Blizzard says the battles start off unbalanced because not enough people are queuing. In view of 3 or 4 battles going on at the same time and still starting every one outnumbered I have to say that is bullshit. When we start off 40x40 the Alliance wins 19 times out of 20, I think Blizzard is doing this intentionally so their precious Horde have a chance to win and get some honor.
