World of Warcraft®

OK before I start I don't normally moan. Check my thread history.

And I'm more than aware that with PVP can always seem worse than it is especially with a win loss ratio and I know in all reality it normally balances out around 40/60 or 50/50 in terms of statistics.

However lately it seems Alliance are losing every single BG I'm not sure why it seems since MoP BETA started so I'm not sure if it's because everyone is on the BETA and as a result there is more botting but this really isn't in my head.

I've done 7 BGs in a row and won 1 this has been a regular occurance day after day for the past few days.

Before anyone goes on about my gear it's not even on this character I have full ruthless on this character for resto/boomkin but I've actually been playing on my DK this is just the first character on the forums when I logged on and cba changing it.

But has anyone else noticed the same alliance just seem to be winning zero BGs these days :(

VERY VERY frustrating

Well, i win everygame so others have to be losing them,
i hope this helped.

Yup your HORDE just goes to show I must be right.

In all seriousness though I'm literally winning none.

Entered Battle for Gilneas the other day literally everyone just stood at the light house all bots.... something needs to be done no wonder so many people have left WoW and Blizz are desperate to try and get them back.

It can feel that way and it is very random.

There is nothing that prevents you from loosing 100times in a row. It would only be very rare.

You need to play hundreds of BG's to come close to something called statistics. In the short run, anything can happen.

If you are loosing a lot, you could always try and play at a different hour.

Also in a more serious reply now, its just luck of the draw, sometimes you're stuck with a team of goobers on Horde as well and no amount of gear & skill from a lone player or two can carry them all.
I do find i have more of a chance to be stuck in a team of lemmings when playing my Alliance characters, but its always been this way.
Also to add i find my winrate gets higher the better geared the character is.

You do realize that it's probably your battlegroup and not every server in the world. I have been losing f**** loads of times on Horde this week.

Dashily, I hope that one isn't the char you're PvPin with, otherwise I might found one of the big reasons why you're losing so much already!

If you bothered to read my full post you wouldn't need to even ask that question.

This is what I'm PVPing with atm and either way as I've said one person can't determine the whole outcome of a BG so regardless of which one I'm playing on I'm talking about in general.

378 weapon, still mostly 390 honor gear. You're underequipped and don't contribute as much as you could to your team. Therefore while not being as responsible as other people, you also have your part in losing this battleground.
Aside from that it's mostly the luck of the draw. A few days ago I queued completly alone, just for the heck of it. I won about 7 battlegrounds in a row with minimal effort. The next day I only won 2/4 and for both victories I had to fight till the very end.

So sometimes you lose and sometimes the other win. Also you not moaning isn't necessarily a good thing. I don't know about your gender, but there are situations were you're kind of expected to moan you know?

nvm

When I played Horde, Horde always lost BGs. I now play Alliance, Alliance always loses BG's.

...Maybe all the bad teams faction changed with me?

You should reread the OP's post again dear~

Now you see the problem when people dont listen, you just presume that everyone is bad..Anyway the problem with Alliance: Dont play early evening when the kids are home & dont play after 2am when the bots come out to play.

The current state of pvp: 6 healers on Horde, 0 Alliance. Premade. That'll cause "Let them win mentality"

When I played Horde, Horde always lost BGs. I now play Alliance, Alliance always loses BG's.

Actually a lot of the good PVP-ers (I know quite a few) faction changed to humans for the racial.

Well i recently changed from horde to alliance.

1 the instant que is imba so thats the main reason i did that. im pure horde but waiting 3 a 4 min sometimes really annoyed me.

2 Alliance overal is not that good indeed but not every game is a lost. I think its 60-40%.

3. when i check youre gear dashily its not that strange we lose that much. It can really not be more pathetic er then what you now have. You said ye i have full rughless etc etc bla bla bla but then POST on it instead whining on a pathetic alt character.

I think sometimes it just goes like that with randoms - I will sometimes play an evening full of bgs and win say, one - then next day I could win 4/5. I think people take a break, especially at this late stage of the expansion and when they have full Cata gear, they level alts, or go after weird achies they didn't have time to farm for before etc...

As a side note, I used to be Alli on this char and I saw a lot of yelling on bg chat about NOOBS this and NOOBS that, and forgot all about that when I went Horde as it happens occasionally, yes, but nowhere near (in myexperience) as it did when I played Alliance. I still have an Alli char I occasionally do random bgs with, and unfortunately the NOOB yelling is still far more prevailent Alli side :( Whether or not that has any kind of effect on the actual outcome, I honestly don't know, but when I see streams of orange text all yelling insults, I can't help but wonder how much actually PvPing they are doing with all that typing!! ^^

You guys assume I was talking about his/her druid, I wasn't. While the DK is a bit better equipped, he's still outgeared by at least a whole season.

I commented on Druid, he posted with his DK, I commented on his DK. Therefore I listened, you didn't. His DK's equip isn't great either.

I often win at my alliance toons.. Depends on the team really.. And remember that you tend to reque with the same team again and again..

That's why it might be better to wait for a bit after losing a battleground. ;D
