Wowhead reports that World of Warcraft: Forever developers Josh Greenfield and Tim Jones said Honor gains will be adjusted across every battleground. 
Alterac Valley is intended to become somewhat less rewarding, while the other battlegrounds receive substantial increases.
What is changing with battleground Honor?
According to Wowhead’s account of the developers’ comments, the goal is to make time spent in Warsong, Arathi Basin, and Darkspear Islands feel worthwhile and let players move between those options. The approach combines lower Alterac Valley Honor with increased rewards elsewhere rather than relying on an Alterac Valley adjustment alone.
As historical Classic context, Wowhead describes a queueing pattern built around fast Alterac Valley runs. Its report says the pursuit of efficient Honor could encourage teams to rush the opposing leader or accept a quick loss instead of contesting a longer match.
What does it mean for WoW Forever players?
If the adjustments are implemented as described, players should have less reason to choose Alterac Valley solely for efficient Honor gains. Warsong, Arathi Basin, and Darkspear Islands would become more competitive options for players deciding where to spend their PvP time.
That is an interpretation of the stated direction, not evidence that every battleground will award equal Honor. The report uses relative language about lowering and increasing rewards, so it does not support a precise ranking of the queues after the adjustment.
What is not confirmed?
The available evidence is a Wowhead report quoting a podcast, not a linked Blizzard post or patch note. It provides no Honor values, percentages, implementation date, beta build, regional schedule, or calculation details. It also does not establish that rewards will be equal across battlegrounds or that the reported tuning will remain unchanged for launch.
