Reduce the water level on the left side of the horde base. So players can just run.
or
Move the water path so the water isnt close to the side of the base.
Both Horde and Ally have to traverse the same water.
Both Horde and Ally have access to Water Walking.
IF the Goblin Racial + Parachute/Slow Fall is considered, you also have to consider any pursuing Alliance can just as easily have Rocket Boots + Parachute/Slow Fall.
There's no real advantage for either side here.
All I know is that, as an alliance balance druid, not even feral, I can carry the flag back incredibly easily. All i gotta do is get in to that water and i'm golden. One, horde can't catch me if they're chasing from the base, and two, I'm underwater till I'm halfway back so it becomes very hard for them to even see me until I jump out of the water and cat form dash all the way up to my ramp. Okay, it might be more overall time consumed than the horde jumping off and parachuting, but against normal pugs (not talking coordinated rated bg teams here) I'm gonna make it back uncontested 9 times out of 10 simply cause they have no idea where I am. At least the alliance can mount up and catch the parachuting horde since they can see him.
So to answer your question, no I don't think it's imbalanced at all. Also, Jest makes a great point, alliance can sprint/parachute off the base to catch the flag runner just as easily as the flag runner can jump off. Terrain is only imbalanced when it affects one team and not the other (ie a longer run for one team than another getting to a neutral site, ala AV). Everything in Twin Peaks affects both teams equally.
Two Words, Alteric Valley.The Horde base's side exit is a water tunnel, making it very slow going for any Alliance flag carriers.
So is alteric Valleys bridge.The Alliance base is on a cliff, allowing the Horde to jump off with movement speed + parachutes allowing for a flying flag carrier to get all the way to, if not past the river very quickly and safely.

Useful notes:
Potion Of Water Walking
Shaman Water Walking Buff
Less QQ

Final reguards: I can't belive your QQ'ing when alliance clearly own alteric valley, Quit QQ, Its Fair, Learn To PVP please.

You know the balance in BG's is mostly Horde 80% 12 year old children and not knowing what they do they wouldn't be that smart to get the flag, Alliance is mostly 80% people knowing what they do in BG's. So where is the Disadvantage for the Alliance in here?
A: To stop your QQ and A2: I was being sarcastic.
And blizzard favors horde in Alteric Valley right? One entrance to the north bunkers, GG.Let me ask you this, how many entrances is their into our Den? Hell, you can even jump over our freaking wall to get inside. And your QQ'ing because were surrounded by water, /giggle.
Edit: Either learn to live with it or dont queue for that BG, OR if you do randoms, leave if you get Twin Peaks.
Nuff' Said. QQ run along and buy some potions.
Lower the mountains around the back side of the north alliance keep in Alteric Valley so we have more than one entranceReduce the water level on the left side of the horde base. So players can just run.
or
Move the water path so the water isnt close to the side of the base.
or
Move the bridge out of the base so its as equal as horde's side.
You get my gist yet?

wheres the niether poll?
and if you think THIS is horde favored, check out av.
Let's talk about capping our skill before we complain about the tiny imbalance in battlegrounds. Personally, I have yet to see properly executed games in any battleground. It is by far not as competitive as arena PvP. This is the reason Blizzard is not too worried about perfectly mirroring it.
Right
Right
Wrong, how would have Alliance any use of this mechanic? We dont want to get our or horde flag back over the river. This is just moronic. The fucking cliff makes it so the horde flag carrier can dodge the zerg in the middle AND be back twice as fast with alliance flag, then we can wit the horde's.
also someone said somethings Alliance is favored because of Druids in Swimform, so they can get horde Flag out faster. I'd say this just makes up for the fact that Horde has also Druids, which can use the same Mechanic to get Alliance Flag in.

hmm in my realmpool i won AV more often when i was Horde, but then again, i suppose Alliance somehow is more "stupid" or "infantile" or whatever.. But even if the AV layout favors Alliance... Two Wrongs dont make a right, you know

Neither.. Seeing as alliance come into the horde base to get the flag and then leaving it, vice versa?.. they both share the same "base" technically lol

The "horde favour" didn't help this team very much.
