Plainsrunning can no longer stack in battlegrounds

A hotfix shipped November 5 closes a way Tauren were abusing Plainsrunning, the racial that builds movement speed the longer you keep running: stacking it up during a battleground’s preparation phase, before the gates even opened, for a head start once the match began.

Blizzard also states the wider rule going forward. Plainsrunning no longer stacks inside a battleground at all, and any stacks you’re carrying cancel the moment you pick up the flag.

Why it matters: Tauren flag runners lose the pre-stacked speed edge they could build before a round even starts.
