WoW Battleground Win Percentages

Recently MMO-Champion released a graph depicting battleground win percentages for Alliance and Horde. They got these numbers by mass scanning characters on the armory and compiling their battleground statistics. They do note that even though the number of people scanned is huge, don't take the stats as 100% truth; it is very hard to gather large amounts of data from the armory.

Now before you go into a rage over "imbalance" make sure to look at the percents on the left. The lowest is 42% and the highest is 58% meaning the look of the graph is a bit deceiving. Overall Horde only wins about 9% more than alliance but I suppose the old idea that horde is better at PvP is somewhat true. What I find funny is that the most "balanced" battleground, by that I mean the one alliance can actually win at, is Alterac  Valley which just so happens to be the only one without a mirrored map. I'm sorry but Frostwolf Keep is a much bigger pain to defend than Dun Baldar, stupid bridge. AV was my favorite battleground though before they nerfed the crap out of it and turned it into a zergfest.

As horde I find it appropriate to say:

    I've played horde since I started like 5 years ago and the only AV wins have been premades during BC. Horde is terrible at AV.

    Yeah it'd be kind of hard to have even 90% accuracy to be honest.

    So the only time the 'good guys' win more often is when they have an advantage over the bad guys?

    These look pretty standard to me. Horde is always superior to the alliance.
