My english isn’t perfect, but i hope u will understand me =)
That’s my 5 cents.
The most amount of QQ treads on this forum is not about balance in the game, couz if u read this forum u will find that every class is OP, which is impossible, but why do ppl whine then? Becouz some mechanics in the game just annoying. I can find this annoying mechanics in every profession in the game:
Evade Thief - annoying spaming 33333 (dont say anything, thiefs almost have no option )
Turret Engi - annoying no skill AI build( rly just summon and watch, should it be funny?)
Staff(d/d) Ele - ridiculous healing and ability to kill via the pirate rune and/or might stacking (spam every ability and somehow u’re still able to win)
MM necro - again summon and watch
Condi necro - fearchains are too long, ofc it will kitten ppl off.
Power necro - ulting and spamming 111 rly needs skill.
Spirit ranger - again spam 11111 and u will stack burning, bleeding, buff yourself with protection ( only 1 ability and so many bonuses)
Rangers with birds - again summon and watch
Support Guardians - rly ok, i dont know anyone who says that guardians are anoying.
Bers Guardians - maybe to high damage but still it’s not summon to win or spam to win, thats why it’s not kitten ppl off.
PU/Fantasm Mesmers- summon and watch again
Axe/sword Warrior- again noskill, damage is ridiculous u can kill only landing impale and pin down …rly? Anet u made 10-20 OP abilities and 9999 useless…
Shatter Mesmers- before i create this tread i tryed to play this one, i always thought that mesmer is not balanced (weak), couz all mesmerz whine so hard, but u know the most balanced one is mesmer, there is NO ABILITY which is OP and it’s like high risk/high reward as it should be u can deal big amount of damage and die fast as it SHOULD BE.
So we have 2 main way to win:
- Spam to win
- Summon to win
Where is skill? it’s e-sport (some ppl belive xD) where’s it hiding? The game literely make you to play “EZ to master” builds couz it effective and LESS PUNISHING!!!
I understand that should be a proffesion which is easy to play for new players, but why u think all proffesions should be noskilled.
My opinion why meta is annoying now:
- It’s supossed to be High risk/High reward, Low risk/Low reward. Now it’s more like Low risk(norisk)/High reward. Even my dog can play turret engi…
- Dont make 2-3 abilities much stronger than another couz random evades will kill the game (example: bow on the warrior. Pin Down aplly immob and 6 stacks of bleeding, split immob and bleed, why 1 move should aplly 2 strong conditions???)
-Buff some useless utility abilities, there are so many of them which is not usefull at all… it will deversify builds and change the meta.
- 25 stacks of might. It’s too. The reason why u can be tough and deal damage is might stacking. Lower it to 10-15. If u glass canon u can deal so much damage even with 10 stacks. If u’r tough u should not deal much damage at all!
-Cleansing-conditin apllication. Too easy to aplly to easy to cleanse it. Lower the quantity of condition apllying abilities( couz every single ability apply condi…) and make cleansing punishing. Why? Couz counter to direct damage are evades, conter to condi damage are evades and cleansing. That will make ppl to applicate condies smart and consider the cleansing.
I know it’s not easy to make some changes ( proggraming etc. dont understand it at all) BUT there are some things u can improve right now and it should not to be difficult.
- 2 minuts of waiting at the start of every match. Is it neccesery? it’s too long 1 min could be OK.
- LB. The source of rage for many ppl. Soloq and LB not warking together, u should add some conditions when losing doesnt affect on LB, so ppl instead of rage will try to fit this condition, and it will encourage them to play better. My proposal – If the game finishes and the player on the defeated team who had the most kills/revives on his team, the loose will not affect his place on LB.( couz he tryed xD)
- Community is too small, couz farming > PVPing. I tryed to farm on Pav, and u know 1 hour of farming~10 gold chest~13golds. 1 Hour of PVPing ~ 4-5 wins~ 5×30 silvers= 1.5 golds. Why should i play pvp? Couz it’s FUN?? Spaming is not fun, ppl do it on pve and it’s more rewarding on pve. If u cant change spamming mechanics on pvp then make it as rewarding as PVE.
Havent finished but i’m tiered
