    The best faction is Team Friend Any Alliance. Because that's what Cyrodiil is nowadays.

    Since the release of TESO back in 2014 to this date, which is the best Alliance War faction?

    All votes, opinions and reasons are welcome.

    Thank you.
     

    İn pc eu if there are 100 ep players there are 200 dc and 500 ad players. So there are 1vX opportunities everywhere.

    I have a tad of bias because EP forever, but objectively it's hard to tell.

    I have seen every alliance having snore losers, large zergs, and small group players.

    I was once cursed out by a an AD player because he was not able to kill me so he went on to call vuglar names, insulting my mother, among other things. So that's my proof of the whole "haters not being only on EP" thing. Also I went on to troll that guy just for the fun of it.

    On Ps4 NA, ep seems to have a decent mix of causal and experienced player in which we can lose much of our keeps but just like the underdog fight back strong to around Alessia and Bleakers before being stalled by the sheer numbers of our opponents.

    DC and AD both use a large number of players to overwhelm EP at specific locations. DC is especially notorious for capturing Kingscrest while the majority of EP is off elsewhere. AD, from what I see, sticks in very large groups and race rolls DC and EP. I also notice that AD typically guards the dead much more often than EP. However that's not to say that the others don't have skilled players, they do. I myself can atest that some of the players on both factions are simply out of league.

    So in my opinion no faction is "the best" but... For the pact, we ride!

    AD- Runs around like chickens with their heads cut off unless 2 or 3 key guild leaders come on and yell at zone to get off their ***. The only real contender for the ruby throne and the faction that makes the most sense. Seriously Orcs working with redguards and bretons? Argonians working with dunmer? pfft get real, at least AD alliance is believable because khajiit are stupid. Why would argonians even care about the ruby throne? Nobody can invade them so why would they even care. Seriously zos the factions don't make sense.

    EP- Full of terrible players, does nothing but zerg. Trash tier picked ep cause skyrim was the only TES game they ever played. Classic "ME DUMB, GIV ME BIG CLUB ME SMASH" type of people. Literally 99% trash teir zergers.

    DC- Moderate and high skilled players. Favors small goup play. Likes to abuse low pop bonus when they can't get it up, their population that is.

    After all these years now this is my opinion

    EP - Annoying teens/crappy zergs/bombers for days/lots of hate mail

    AD - More casuals/huge zergs/takes map then loses it within 20 minutes

    DC - Loads of try hards/great at ball grouping/more tanks than WW2/overall best pvp faction

    I'm one of those WW2 tanks lol

    The reason this voting system is unfair is because there are many pvp players that don't ever read the forums let alone participate in polls. Also, there are different campaigns and different groups on at various times of the day/night. That is a lot of variables right there. It's all relative imo. We also cannot see who are the experienced pvpers, the casuals or the downright one hit wonders contributing to the votes.
    For a time it seemed like AD were dominating the maps but now I see EP and DC hit back and do quite well but again it depends on the time of day. AD used to do a lot of zergs while it seemed that DC and EP had to work a little harder and use tactics to get results. Again it's only my opinion here. Im here Jan 2019.

    Factions in this game is nothing like the factions in WoW imo. It used to matter before One Tamriel, but they changed it a lot.

    Before, you couldn't have a toon on one faction, and another on a different faction at the same time. Also non related to pvp but I feel had an effect on faction loyalty is the change in PVE wherein before you couldnt even go to other faction's maps.

    IMO it's all too trivial now.

    Clearly EP is the best, otherwise AD and DC wouldn't constantly work together to beat them, and don't try to tell me that team green isn't a thing, it is not a coincidence that the only time DC heads south or AD heads west is when EP has been beaten back to their gates.

    Where's the option for ZOS? The Zenimax Online Studio faction is the best, they always win, even if they lose. Because they make so much $$$ from of us. We keep getting outplayed by them and falling for the same dumb schemes every year.
    Everytime we log into ESO, the ZOS faction wins.

    EU PC- Vivec, have only played and will only play DC. AD have morning cap and higher numbers, so win campaings most of time, but on evenings with even numbers DC rocks, no doubt. Problem I see in DC is that there might be less organized Guilds playing for the Campaign as many good ones have left game. Then I see more and more people switching Alliances depending on leading board and other, so I dont thing there is one Best.

    AD by far, lowest population so there's always pvp if you're looking for it.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    There are a lot of people here thinking too much about this question. Just let out what your heart tell you.
    don´t come with questions like "how can you tell what´s best" , lets just have fun with some faction rivalry (because i think it´s makes pvp much better)

    I play ESO for not so long, but i really agree with the statements

    - EPs have more NB than others and experienced players
    - The Zergs are yellow as AD, they are good to control the big groups when they want. They take things quickly and lost it faster
    - DC have strong players as EPs, but they are more used to fight with less numbers what make DC more harder to take. The under dogs
