Undocumented 2.2 Features

The reason for why the allies are winning AB so much seem to be due to the part where by the time the game starts, there are usually 15 allies, and ~10 horde playing. Allies tend to get a big head start by the time the teams even out.

I think it's the horde being tourists. There's no incentive not to queue for 3 bg's, whatever your objective is. By the time your queue pops for AB, you may already be in a better BG, but the game will not drop you from AB and invite the next player until 2 min are up - the same amount of time as the prep period. And there is no guarantee that the next player is really looking for AB either. Allies, with their slower queues, are less likely to run into this.

It's only going to get worse if they go the way they say they want to - just queue for a certain size BG and get a random map. There's a lot of people who wouldn't accept a queue to EotS if they were hoping for AB.
