Strategy can be an important element of any battleground. Blizzard wants to emphasize this in Alterac Valley more and give players additional meaning to both defending and attacking. To push the strategic element of the battleground to the next level Blizzard has changed how players maintain their reinforcements or deprive the other team of theirs......
Wow, that's just lame. The reinforcement count is just a thinly veiled attempt to decrease the duration of the battleground. Add that to the decrease in tower capture times, the removal of more NPCs, and the warmasters from destroyed towers and Blizz is just asking both sides to zerg. Having more strategy is a joke.
I really miss the old AV, where you actually had to have strategy to win and it really did feel like an epic battle. If you want a quick game, that's why there's WSG and AB, I'm not going into this watered down train wreck.
