When it's PuG vs. PuG, the Horde seems to win WSG and AB a disproportionate amount, and the Allies seem to have an easier time in AV. The whys have been hotly debated.

Which faction, if either, do you think will dominate that new Eye of the Storm battleground, and why?

Since it resembles a hybrid between WSG and AB, I suspect the Horde will take the lead.

If it can't be zerged, if it requires any semblance of teamplay whatsoever, the horde will win 94% of the time, just like AB and WSG now.

Horde should win it most of the time. But you never know.

The reason Why Alliance Wins AV so ofeten is because they have a D.

see Horde rush SH and alliance rush SF.

lets say it takes alliance about 3 - 4 mins to take IB after that.

What happens. all the alliance that die res at SP GY and the horde lock them in so they end up defending the base.
The horde However Res at IB GY and can run straight back to the offenive so what happens is they have nobody defending.

Now because it is easier to defend a GY then Attack a GY the alliance can hold off the Horde long enough for there smaller offencive forces to win the game.

(Now i'm not saying that AV favors the alliance. looking at it it favors the horde IMHO but the layout and general strats makes the alliance split up in to an offencive and defencive where as the horde aren't forced to do this, so they generaly dont.)

Back on topic it seems that in a striaght battle the Horde generaly win. unless there is some factor like in AV. Though one strange thing i noticed is the alliance tend to win right after a major change. every time there was a new BG or AV got drasticly changed i noticed the alliance adapted faster to the change then the horde did.

So i say first few weeks Alliance will rock it then it will settle and the horde will dominate it

1. The experianced MMO players went horde from day 1 they tend to stay away from the normal races like humen elves dwarfs and haflings that they played in other games and go for the mancows orcs and undead.
2. the horde racials are more useful in a fight. Warstomp, stun resist and WotF are all powerful racials. shadowmeld is good for defending a point thie will help alliance hold a point but they need to get it 1st. perception only useful if u already know there is a rouge/druid and escape artist's cast time realy kills it.
3. Horde are more orgainsed. all my alliance PuGs have always had ppl who dont listen or beilve they should be the leader and the strat is crap. on the horde ppl then to worktogether more and they relise a crap strat with everyone working on it is better then a split team.
