Alterac Valley and Patch 2.3, What a Rush!

Well when I first heard about the changes to Alterac Valley in patch 2.3, I thought the battleground would turn into a big slow turtle. Boy was I wrong. It's even more of a race than it was before.

Since there are no Commanders or Lieutenants guarding the graveyards and towers, you can really fly right to the enemy base. You still need to leave a few on defense to cap the towers, as this removes Warmasters defending Drek'thar. Most of the matches last night were around 12-15 minutes each! For the same honor! Seems like most matches were around 20-30 minutes before.

The biggest change you are gonna notice is that there is no more pulling. Drek'thar and his Warmasters are linked. They will not run out. So you have to fight them in the base. Thus the need to capture towers and eliminate as many Warmasters as possible. Trying to tank Drek and more than 1 warmaster would be pretty tough.
