There are many ways you can contribute to the success of your team without running up a tower. However, as alliance I was still spending a large amount of the BG guarding IWB against horde very successfully. As long as you stick to the alliance towers (for either offense or defense) you can play a limited version of the tower game.

The only BGs where you may have a big change are the two 10-man capture the flag BGs. WSG is probably the most difficult, but you can still help the team win by controlling the mid.

If anyone watched my stream and disagrees that I was very effective in BGs then please speak up - I can take the criticism. I'd say I streamed a good 40 hours of BGs over the last 10 days and rarely ever was the lack of /follow a huge hindrance.
