wich faction is better for pvp, bgs and wpvp?

[Eclaireur]

I would like to know because I see a lot of pvpers in horde but I would like to know in the Alliance too

A lot of pvp players pick horde because they got superior racials.
In my experience horde are best in pugs/random pvp because they generally are more pvp oriented, that being said alliance are superior in organized pvp due to paladins imo. I'm sure some people will disagree

HORDE
Pros:
- Best racials, 100%
- Higher win-rate in PUGs
- AV easy wins /w jumping the back gate
Cons:
- Longer queue times
- Very immature and caustic PvP community

ALLIANCE
Pros:
- Instant BGs, no real wait
- Paladins are some of the best PvP healers
- More mature, less caustic environment
Cons:
- Easily exploited AV base leads to fast losses
- Chain-lose PUG BGs
- Racials are worthless PvP

Source: I played both alliance and horde when vanilla WoW was retail, and I have played both sides on Nost

The % of alliance population made up of Dwarves (or Gnome for EA) reflects the lack of PvP focus.

Play Dwarf on Alliance for organized pvp.

Play Overpowered DPS class as horde.

Have fun on both sides =D

Not sure if alliance has a better environment and more mature..

Not sure if this advantage is big now with mines spammed on the backdoor spot ^^

It is 100%. I played horde until lvl 40 and was sick of immature children spamming 'n*gger' and other slurs in general and party chat, so I rerolled alliance. I haven't met a single person that caustic on alliance.

I doubt a mine that can be easily resisted by FR gear will make a difference. Even before the mine addition, when horde played legit, horde won a majority of the AV PUGs

Alliance is absolutely better for PvP. Shaman are gimped paladins and anyone who thinks paladins are weak "offensive" support healers are retarded. Paladins keep their DPS completely free of all CC so that they can destroy the other team. Shaman are no where near as effective at this.

As far as racials, everyone underestimates stoneform, escape artist, perception, shadowmeld, and the priest racials fear ward and desperate prayer. Horde has some great PvP racials, but Alliance racials are easily on par.

Alliance on Nostalrius also has the benefit of having signficantly more healers than Horde has. Most BGs horde has zero healers, one if they are lucky, while Alliance usually has 3 or more.

How Alliance doesn't have a 90% win/loss ratio for pugs is a mystery.

Horde Player walks up to 8 Alliance at stables, dismounts on the flag and caps in front of them.

May have something to do with it.
