My current match is at over 300-20 as I type this. Here’s a bit of team chat from the previous match with some of the same teammates.

It’s gotten to the point where teams are trading DC’s because of the roflstomps.

One thing is abundantly clear, DH and Necro stacks are almost unbeatable.

Report both players if it actually happens. Until then i would guess it was more of a troll attempt.
DH stacks are far from unbeatable. DH sucks, theyre good to kill nabs, nothing else.
Necro stacks are different. But in the end you only need good condi clear, good, focussed damage at one at a time or enough mobility to outrotate them.
Actually teams with 3+ of the same class are annoying, but usually loose, even if its necro or rev. Unless of course the rest of the composition happens to cover their weaknesses.
Not too long ago we had 4 eles in one team beeing a high-level viable team. Try that with necros, you will loose to most decent teams.

DHs are very limited but still powerful in most ranked play. As you said, it kills baddies but even after I hit diamond, players still don’t know how to counter DH and die left and right.

The fact that I’m seeing regular stacks of DH mixed with scrapper or necro makes your statements incorrect.

If itweren’t OP, then 5 player dh stacks wouldn’t be a thing. Don’t even get me started on unkillable scrappers.. and people complained about bunker Mesmer.

If want to play sPvP, you better bring your parka.

Spring is right around the corner, but in league it is CHILL and more CHILL this evening. With an extended outlook of CHILL for the coming weeks.

It’s different up there. An amber or emerald dying to a DH is because they don’t know how to counter whereas in diamond the DH’s wait for the best time to lay their traps and know how to play their class.

Ok guys. im playing ranger for ranked atm. A strong class, but not the best and not completely op.
I play a build without toughness and invulnerabilities and only one source to stability.
Do you know how I beat guards? I could trigger their traps with my pet. Sometimes I do. If they are good, I use sotp to prevent getting stunlocked. If they use test of faith I may dode through it instead of just walking. Other than that…my main tactic involves: -trigger the traps cycle one. Stand there, heal, nothing bad happens.
-Trigger trap cycle two. Stand there, heal, nothing happens.
-Deny possible bow bursts with sublime conversion if I should get remotely close to low health.
- Wait for my pet to kill the DH.
It is actually pretty satisfying: I main a thief. No matter how good and how how flawless we play, we dont seem to make any impact on dh while we see our health vanish.
As a dh, no matter how much traps, pulls and true shots you have, I remain untouched and slowly watch your health vanish.
The counters are really simple: stability, protection, decent healing. What you gonna do dh?

Fighting a DH as a Thief is just impossible. I just don’t do it. When a class downright has no potential to beat another, there’s an issue. I know DH hard counters Thief, but c’mon.
