In PVP, zerging is inevitable and forgetting to guard towers is the norm, but I’m here to win, so instead of going for HK’s, the win is a much better option, though Blizz raised the amount of honor produced with a kill made this even worse. All you really need is to guard the tower.
There are different schools of thought on whom should be the one to do this task. Anyone can do this, but following a simple method would greatly reduce the loss ratio that many are experiencing.
1. The opposing team is way overgeared, so if you are undergeared, it’s best to stay out of the fight and keep towers instead.
2. If you are really overgeared, stay at tower because you can actually defend it and stay alive long eough for reinforcements!
Example of an unguarded tower.
As you can see in the image, the tower that is circled has been left unguarded and it’s just asking to be overtaken by the other side. Worst case scneario would be to keep an eye on it while defending another tower, in battle or somewhere in between keeping watch from afar, but by that time, it might be too late. It saves everyone heartache if you just play smart and have yourself or someone else from your team at the tower. You won’t even notice that the tower is occupied until it is too late because the other player might be hiding at the back where you can’t see them and the tower is subject to neutrality where no team gets points and by the time you get there, they already have reinforcements, then the whole game gets screwed up by trying to reclaim the tower. Time used defending when your team should be in offence. This is when you start loosing flags and points which can spell distaster and probably a loss.
