Guild Wars 2

Titles says it. Are they at a disadvantage in competitive PvP settings? Can you speak from experience?

They definitely are, even though people won’t admit it. I played lots of norns at launch and i was targetted almost always first in team fights. Now i’m human/sylvari (normal size, so not upsized either), and I get way less often targetted in those same crowded situations.

If the answer wasn’t yes, then half of the pvp crowd wouldnt be playing asura to hide their person/skill animations.

Asura characters most definitely have a huge advantage. The smaller character size makes it hard to see and targeting in a fight, the skill animations are close to non-existent, and you can’t even see what weapon set they are using sometimes.

Personally in a team fight I generally look for the one that will die fastest… however I have seen plenty of people go for the taller, easier to hit guys first.

The least hit from my own experience (playing as and against) are Asura Rangers generally because your pet is bigger than you most of the time.

This was an issue back when the game first released but when you start fighting better opponents your size does not matter.

Yes and this racism has to stop!

I had a legit reply to the OP, but this hilarious response obliterated it xD
