World of Warcraft Battle Ground Strategies for Solo Players

I often play battle grounds as a solo player as I'm sure most people do. In battle grounds there is always an objective of some kind that your team needs to control in order to win. This can sometimes be difficult when there is no verbal communication or teamwork on your side. I'd like to talk about a few tips that can help you be a key contributor to your teams victory even when you're playing solo.

The first thing to keep in mind is true no matter what you're doing. Always remember that you're never actually playing solo. Even when you que up and join alone, once you get into the battle ground you're part of a team. This is something so simple and yet so many people play as if no one else was around. When you're in a battle ground make sure to keep an eye on the objectives and where your team is. When you see a weak spot go check it out. Please don't mindlessly run around just focusing on killing everything you see. Lets talk about some more specific things you can do to help your team to victory.

The two main mechanics for objective based battle grounds are capture the flag and a sort of king of the hill. Capture the flag refers to Warsong Gultch and Twin Peaks while king of the hill refers to Arathi Basin and Battle for Gilneas. When doing either one, always be mindful of what the objective is. With capture the flag, you always want to be doing one of two things. Make sure you're either supporting your flag carrier or attacking the enemy teams flag carrier. People who run around in the middle in of the field don't typically help the team in any way, however that is not always true. There are times when you can hold an enemy team in their spawn, not allowing them to assist their objectives. This is a truly rare thing so don't attempt to do it, just take advantage when the opportunity arises. Also, you never want to attack the enemy flag carrier alone. They will usually have other people in the room helping them and you don't stand a very good chance trying to fight 3v1. Don't be afraid to call for help and just wait a minute for your team to come assist you. If played correctly you can get the upper hand on the enemy by going in as a group.

Now on to king of the hill. In this game type you're fighting over key points on the map. Your team gains points by controlling these areas. The key to these is very similar to capture the flag. Always make sure you understand what the objective is. The goal is to always control more points on the map than the enemy team does. Once you've accomplished this, stay put. The reason most teams fail to win is because they get greedy and try to capture everything. Don't make this mistake. When you're team controls the majority of the points you should go into defensive mode. Stay near a flag and make sure the enemy team doesn't take control of it. If you see that the other team is sending more people at you than you can handle, just call for help and hold them away from the flag as long as you can.

There is also one last game type that is a combination of both capture the flag and king of the hill. This game type refers to Eye of the Storm. In here you want to make sure that your team is in control of the majority of the points once again. You can do this by either holding more bases than the other team or by holding the bases on your side of the map and controlling the center flag that you need to capture. You can use the tips from the previous game types to help in this battle ground so I wont get into any more detail.

I hope that this quick guide is able to help you. Make sure you keep an eye out for some upcoming videos that will show the different battle grounds and how to be effective using the tips provided here. Please let me know in the comments if there is anything that I may have missed or anything you liked about this. Again, I hope this guide helps you win more games when playing solo.
