Guild Wars 2

Is there any point to pretending this is worthy of being a competitive game any more?.

PvP is a massive improvement from season 1.

In some ways sure but not by much.

Season one caused a massive dent in GW2s esports image. When your own community spams hatred for the meta, how the hell are new people suppose to give a kitten?

Anet should have never waited so long to fix glaring issues. Let’s see if they do it again.

So how is it a mess can you please elaborate?

That’s not hard to do.

Ya, unkillable mesmer cancer bunkers are gone, so at least conquest works like it should.

However, PvP is now dominated by about 5 or 6 builds, all of which use elite specs. And it’s not that these builds are slightly better; they better than everything else by such a huge margin that all other builds, including core specs, are trash in comparison. Worse yet, most of these builds require little thought or coordination in order to succeed.

Honestly, if ANet really wanted to balance PvP, they’d just go back to the state it was in the day before HoT until they can fix elite specs and other HoT content.
