This is my first topic made on the Spvp forums so here go my thoughts on the current state of pvp and the outlook on Esports. While many of us have our own idea’s of what needs to be adjusted and what pvp needs to be relevant and how we should be rewarded. We all have idea’s of what should take priority, whether it be balance, rewards or whatever. Here’s my take on it,
Balance should take presedence above all else for pvp. For me, a somewhat balanced fight against another player is all the reward I need. The recent changes to glory and adding vendors in the HoTM are nice but honestly, balance should be the #1 priority. I’m not saying you can’t do both because i’m sure they’re different teams for different content.
Here are my opinions on what needs to be adjusted:
-All proc on crit traits should be changed to a counter system. What I mean by this is instead of it being a mindless proc on your opponent, let it trigger every few critical hits with a counter on your bar so your enemy knows when to dodge/block. This will promote counter-play which is great for balance. This should also apply to passive traits that apply too much of a benefit without any thought process involved.
-Adjust Defensive/Condi amulets. I don’t like the idea of having amulets that are both tanky and provide damage. You’re getting the best of both worlds, this should NEVER happen. You are supposed to take a loss in this game when you spec into something. Whether it be damage, support or bunker. There needs to be give somewhere.
- AI/Passive skills should never see the light of day in a tournament. These skills should be available for new players to break into the game but should never be taken seriously. These specs require little thought involved and provide too much benefit.
-Skills that require effort(activation) should be heavily rewarded compared to those that do not(passive procs). This goes back to my previous points if you are to keep passive skills/traits as reliable as they are.
If anyone here has any other suggestions, please post it.
