Anecdotes are no real evidence of anything. the idea of a horde player coming here and claiming a 20 game win streak is extremely silly to me.You know you are most likely queueing up with different players right? He might be EU, he could be on a different battlegroup or play at different times. in the 125+ games ive played, i could count on my fingers the amount of times horde has won (i usually afk out if it turns into a turtle) and i could count on my right hand how many times horde have won in under 20 mins. Now most groups I face and team with now seem to understand that and also kill and do most objectives and a few groups still don't and there's nothing wrong with that they just care about different things.Р”Р„s a horde player, does that seam plausible to you? ive farmed ~250k honor so far as alliance, and ill say 7/10 games are easy 9-11 min alliance victories, 1/10 someone overpulls the warmasters, but we have the GY so we try again and win in 12-16 mins, 1/10 turns into a protracted war in the horde base and we win by 21 mins, and 1/10 turns into a turtle where the horde wins after a 26+ game. But I would never trust my fellow faction members to also skip lieutenants and objectives, I'm not a die hard ranker but the time I do commit to ranking I wan't to be as efficient as possible, if I get 3k honor per AV and my other faction member would get 1-2k honor then I would technically farm honor 1.5-3 times faster as the others. It's true the rush meta is superior if you don't really care about pvp rank, since you get more rep and get your exalted items faster.

Then be done with AV.Well that would all depend on wheter all other allies are doing the same wouldn't it?

I'd rather have the rush meta for horde to get to exalted 3 times as fast. So horde ends up with hundred thousands daily, wheras alliance get's a 3rd of it, but in the end rank points are just based on how much the others have. Because honor is relative to how much others in your faction got that week. Honor doesnt matter though, as long as all Alliance only get about 1k honor per AV, it got the same value as when hordes get 2-3k honor. Theres plenty more, but again, im not your Google slave. sitting out in a field and can be approached from anywhere. Its also after a narrow pass that a single mage can shut down, and has two sides that face a cliff. Same with Stormpike - both it and FWGY are direct-LoS to the flag, but its about 10 seconds closer than FW rez point is. Iceblood GY is around a corner and further away. SHGY flag is a direct line of site from the Spirit Rez. Its so narrow at Icewing that two mages can freeze the entire area and stop an entire raid cold. Icewing also completely covers the choke and can continue to fire on you FAR down the road in either direction (it cant QUITE hit the Stonehearth GY flag anymore, which it could before the 1.8 changes). Its also THREE TIMES as wide as the 'Southern' ally 'Choke') at Icweing. The 'Northern' horde 'Choke' (at Iceblood) is not covered by Iceblood Tower (the archers cant hit the choke). No, i wont tell you what it is, but it allows you to go straight to the Relief Hut without aggroing anything or exposing yourself to other players who aren't specifically waiting for you to do it.Р”Р„lso, nice of you to ignore all the OTHER ways i pointed out that map heavily favors alliance. at least two ways to do it have been described after your post. Or id rather not spread toxic gameplay for no reason.
