Scourge come 22nd

Why further nerf a class that’ll still need a babysitter?
That’s a big exaggeration to be honest. God forbid scourge has some weaknesses to ranged attacks, it is still extremely powerful against melee and condition pressure.
that’s what people said about reaper and they still need a babysitter. Scourge will be no different.
A lot of top 250 necros do very well 1v1. Even if they lose 50% of their fights, it only means the class isn’t hampered and can only succeed in team fights.
Top matches aren’t won on 1v1s, its a coordinated effort.
Then the argument that necromancers require babysitting doesn’t make sense. You’re contributing to a teamfight as much as the teammate who is there helping your sustain?
Not really, no. What I’m looking at is that if you go in expecting every match to be a 1v1, you’ll lose. A necromancer is at a serious disadvantage since they struggle in team fights since they are the easiest to target. If an opponent sees a necromancer, they likely will not engage that fight unless they know they’ll have back up soon. In which case the necromancer has few methods of leaving that fight. Giving your opponent a free kill and the point to be captured. Thus, they need a babysitter. Scourge could change that but that depends on how good Sand swell turns out to be.
But I’m not convinced. It looks like it’ll still need a babysitter.

No 250 necro is dumb enough to be taking 1v1s. You’re too vulnerable to getting +1’ed and you have no disengage if the fight goes badly.
The only times a necro should ever take a 1v1 is if the other team has no roamers and you can guarantee that nothing is going to rotate into you. Or you’re just really desperate.
Sanity is for the weak minded.

So what even is the debate?
It seems everyone realizes necro isn’t made for 1v1,
Can’t rotate worth a kitten ,
Is often paired with an ele,
Is still utilized heavily in spvp.
By that measure it seems like necromancers are the backbone of a solid team
Watch what happens when someone else can take over the boon strip role.
