To make life easier for the Horde premades to prey upon the muddied waters of the Alliance queueing?
I wish it were that simple. But it isn't. Cross-realm plays a part. Blackrock gearing process plays a part. Popularity of specific pre-made-battleground guilds play a part. People choosing factions without giving a rat's backside what the racials are plays a part. The list goes on.
The difference of racials isn't what imbalances a battleground. The people those racials potentially attract imbalances a battleground more than the racials themselves do. The power of racials themselves have an impact on arenas, but not so much on battlegrounds.
The blizzlike argument is irrelevant. Hence why there's a poll. There are so many issues and holes in the blizzlike argument that it's not even worth mentioning.
I suppose win-rates are not a concern then?
Do you think EMFH or Shadowmeld will save you in a 3v1? How much of an impact do you actually think these racials will have in a 5v3 fight?
Maybe you're concerned about perfectly even fights in the middle of the BG? "Fighting in mid" is not how BGs are won.
What about 1v1s? That's what dueling is for. Trying to seek out 1v1s in a BG is often a waste of time, especially when you consider that most 1v1s are ended with some more people showing up and killing the opponent. If you're having trouble with a 1v1, then it is also usually wise to ask for assistance.
What about even fights on top of the objectives? Tunneling the healer who has less resilience due to EMFH and using double pve trinket, or bring more people to the base, or bring a healer of your own. All of these things have more of an impact than any racial by a wide margin.
I would agree that racials could be considered the root cause of any aforementioned imbalances, but it is not the racials themselves that cause imbalance in the battlegrounds. The racials are an incentive to play Alliance and Alliance having large numbers is of concern. But on what level would a custom change to racials be welcome?
This system is meant to address any issues that may exist in extreme situations where the Alliance don't have anyone at all to queue into. Now, is that in itself a bad thing? If so, then why? Also please be sure to leave your vote in the poll itself at the top of the page.
