Legendary actually is skilled now. Also I play on average 3 games a day atm. But alright :^)
I don’t live in a basement, I live in our house and my room :^) idk why you’re so proud to not play the game much and calling me out as failure for being 17. You don’t know anything about me. I’ve the best grades and I’ve skipped a grade ahead of my age. However from what I read I regard you degenerate.
There’s no need to make up excuses and assumptions to feel better about yourself.
Legendary is skilled now? lol.. I’ve played about 20 games so far this ranked season, I’m generally carrying in every match because I know how to actually rotate and win fights 1v1 or even outnumbered. I still get stuck with garbage teams of players who don’t know how to play which cause us to lose the match fairly often. See my streams over the past couple of days.
I didn’t say there was anything negative about you being 17, I simply said you don’t have the responsibilities of an adult who does not have time to play as much as you do lol. Proud of you for skipping a grade and having good grades, no doubt high school is hard (lol)… I’m not making assumptions, I’m sure if you checked your play time vs mine, yours is a lot higher because you have more time to be logged in having less responsibilities in life.
What are you even talking about lmao, I’ve only posted what I played in the vid, never was it optimal. If you want a good build, here u go:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNApeDWqCMleQsLH8OabtzWkCQDIAA-TphGwADOBAz2fAwhAgwDA4wRAgZZAAThere are others as well depending on your and their comps
Your build is terrible and any reasonable person knows so or will understand that by me saying it is. You’ve also proven yourself irrational, so I don’t expect you to comprehend.
You didn’t choose any utility skills and longbow is not even CLOSE to as good as sword/torch for a condi build. Also, undead runes vs Krait runes for a condi warrior? My headbutt will load someone up with condis just about every time I use it because of krait runes. Also taking the stability on berserk mode trait over kings of fire on a condi build?! LOL… You’re kidding right? Smash brawler instead of last blaze??? Discipline over strength where you’ll apply confusion every time you interrupt, which is a lot?
Have you ever actually played condi warrior or are you just spitballing here? Because the build you just posted is literally not even viable in comparison.
See the build above, just so you know what a good condi warrior build looks like.
Yes, it is :^) And you’re what? silver? and it fits the lvl of your gameplay. You don’t know any of those things you claimed to know. You are a major contribution to the team being kitten.
“lives in his moms basement” and “no life”, sounds very much so like disparage, and then linking them as confirmation by me being 17 (Yes, assumptions)
I still don’t understand why you’re so proud of “not having much time” and me having more time (fyi, I don’t play a lot) to somehow be degrading or a reason for you to feel superior. It’s the same idiotic mentality as “well, I didn’t even try, so I’m better”. Please.
Ye sry, I made it in 10 sec :^)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNApeTnMdAtkidhAWhAElilqATpHE7yBvj2W7sFpA0ACAA-TphGwAHOCADOBAz2fgZZACPAAAHCAAThere u go. Also, as I said, your build is terrible, and watching ur vod, you are terrible as well. But as I said, I didn’t expect you to comprehend. How is it not viable if it’s been meta (unknown if it will still be meta since next patch is yet not here) and used it the tournaments. I don’t know if you’re intentionally being stupid, or just born that way.
That build wouldn’t do damage lol… Go make a video of you playing it and see how good it is.
https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/108806654
A small 2 minute clip of me destroying 2 thieves in 2v1, then a ranger in like 5 seconds, then a thief again, then a ranger again lol.
I suppose they were bad players probably, but I don’t see many people winning 4 fights right in a row with no cooldown reset for most of it, one of which being a 2v1 that almost killed me and would have had I been a lesser player lol..
The build has great dmg. It’s a simple fact that your build is bad. How can you be so stupid to try and deny the lb build as bad. It’s used in esl. And I compete myself. I already said you wouldn’t be able to comprehend. Have fun in bronze or silver or whatever u are.
For the nay sayers about my condi warrior.
https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/108806654Fun fact, I didn’t even have to look hard for anything like this. I have hours of footage in PvP and WvW of me doing stuff like this on my condi warrior. This video is from yesterday in a ranked PvP match.
Nobody gives a kitten if you can kill some NA silver reet who plays even worse builds than you in an unfavoured matchup. The build is bad. Period.
guess he even didn´t look at the top score in PvP ….
I don’t pay attention to that stuff. I am a firm believer that anyone who no lifes anything that depends on you grinding forever will achieve a high number in rankings like that. I work 40-60 hours a week and am building a race car and also planning a wedding right now on the side. I play this game for like 5 hours a week if I am lucky lol.. If I had no life and could play this game for 18 hours a day like some other people, I could easily be at the top of some leaderboards too.
But by all means, enjoy worshipping someone who likely lives in their mothers basement.
Edit: Checked his twitch channel – he is 17. Confirmed no responsibilities and lives in moms basement, again my point stands.
Before you get torn to shreds by the angry mob:
I feel the same about some GW2 players. It is, after all, just a game and neither does it fill your fridge nor does it pay the bills. Whoever has his whole life circle solely around a video game really has to check his priorities.Yes indeed. I greatly enjoy this game, but I don’t have the time to make it on to any leader boards lol.
Skill level is a different story, I’m sure I am not the best player in the game because I’ve been bested in the past. I’ve very rarely ran across too many people who could beat me in 1v1 fights in PvP or WvW. It is easy to counter any build if you know what your enemy is playing, but I try to build most of my builds to handle anything that is thrown at them. Obindo has 2 warrior builds, both power, both only PvP builds and one is for dealing with condi and one is for dealing with power. My condi warrior build deals with both well and I’ve proven its abilities with hours of footage on my stream if anyone has questions on that.

I was taking a look over the Sindrener (Thief, Rank 55 Dragons) streams this days and I think that Ian Ross was wrong and Revenant is no longer meta:
Current Revenant lacks the sustain of Tempest, Druid, Berserker or Scrapper (to name a few which also are stronger in teamfights) and is utterly butchered by Daredevil in terms of mobility, disengage and burst potential.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think that in the next Pro League most of teams will switch from Rev to DD for their +1 fighter. IMO the meta would be something like this:
- Tempest: huge sustain, provides cleanses and support.
- Chrono: key utilities, great cc and sustain, strong in duels, high mobility.
- Scrapper: perfect bruiser/holder, great utility, strong in teamfights, huge sustain.
- Daredevil: huge mobility & disengage, high burst, best +1 and best decapper in the game.
For the last slot a team could lean towards more suport and tankiness (Druid), more cc and AoE damage (Necro) or another bruiser (Berseker), but I can’t see them adding Rev as +1 to the already phenomenal DD. In pug matches you will see more DH than Reapers due Necros do need more team support and DH are easier to play and can stack massive damage (in both power and burn variants), but for high skilled competitive teams can’t see how Rev could be a thing.
If you want to use Sind to claim rev’s out of meta:
From 1:47:36 to 1:49:42, as well as 1:54:10 to 1:54:40. Quick note: Thief’s the strongest class atm
(edited by Iain Ross.6903)
Correction: Since rev is the strongest class in the game right now, we’ll bring it down a bit to still be really strong, but not too dominant*
Oh yeah, the “slightly” line: 50% and 33% nerf to the 2 main attacks of the Rev is “slightly” and “down a bit”.
It’s funny looking back at the May 2016 nerf to SOTM of 15%. People were saying that ANET did the right thing by being conservative so as not to kill class viability. Then 6 months later they come down with a radical downgrade that looks like it will threaten class viability. 50% downgrade after a 15% downgrade means about at 43-44% downgrade in damage overall. Almost half. So much for taking things slow eh?

I will not be playing my Rev in pvp.
It’s about 10-15% nerf to rev overall, who had insanely high damage in the first place. Rev will still be meta and one of the strongest classes (I believe mes is not the strongest) and then rev) Just the shiro port alone will make it essential.
If every other class has a value of 15k and rev has a value of 20k (which is p much the case) and then rev gets nerfed 15%, let’s say 20% just to be generous. Ppl will QQ about the 20% even tho you’re still at 16k and 1k above the other classes. Look at the results instead of looking at only the changing number to have an excuse to cry.
Funny how you prowl all across the rev forums claiming rev is the godsend of classes, yet never specifically explain why, or even bother to acknowledge the glaring issues with the class, but instead just say ‘High damage, and teamfights’, completely ignoring that rev’s damage falls quicker than a stone in teamfights, and most of its viable support comes from the lazy design of boon bot Glint, which no one wants in the first place.
Shiro’s port is trash compared to other options. Lousy tracking with terrain, consumes energy if failed, requires a target in the first place, obvious animation, requiring shiro and locking you into other utilities you may not need, along with his trash heal.
I don’t argue, I inform you
Now you can either be a good boy and listen or you can continue crying about how “rev sux omg” as solace for being terrible. You clearly have no idea about rev, evident by everything you’ve said about it.
If you could read, then you’d realize I never mentioned the recent changes or said anything suggesting rev as a whole was bad, but that’s asking too much.
Looking for a second ban, are we?

Wow, you’re either a kid or have a problem with being able to communicate with people without looking dumb (or being one?).
Pointing out issues about a class doesn’t mean it’s bad overall, thankfully it still has some uses, but compared to others it’s not very good at all.
I never said the quotes I quoted was of “issues of the class”, of which, none of them were issues (iirc, cba rereading nonsense), It was quotes of him having no idea about rev. Hence ‘none of them were issues’ :^) (nor made it bad for that matter)

As someone already mentioned, pointing out aspects of the class is not a claim to it being bad as a whole, obviously. And I’ve yet to hear you offer any counterargument to what I said, so it might as well be assumed that you have none.
I never said u claimed it was bad by pointing out what u say are aspects of the class. I pointed out how you have why u have no idea about rev, which you were in denial of, hence I quoted ur previous post :^)
Once again, I’m informing, not argueing :^)
‘Pointing out’ with no points to point at is just pointing to your kitten , which is a very informative point.
What do you mean no points to point at? I quoted evidence of your obliviousness, which is what I’ve said multiple times. Do you have a hard time reading?
You simply repeated what I said, but made no effort to explain why what I said was supposedly wrong. If you think someone is wrong, then you provide your reasoning for that with an explanation of what you think is right, but you didn’t. I gave my reasoning, and now you’re supposed to give yours. I can’t hold your hand all the time, you know.
You denied it, so I quoted you. I don’t know you’re intentionally stupid or just born that way. Once again I’m informing you, not arguing :^)

people saying “revenant was too OP”
What the hell is wrong with you?
I went from amber to Diamond with Guardian and I DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!!
(don’t believe me? there was even a post on reddit about it or I can share my match history)
Seriously get another argument because if a revenant actually kicks your kitten so easily it is because he is really good and you might not be bad but that guy is better than you
The fact that u didn’t get legend says a lot lmao. Everyone got legend easily, no matter how bad they were and how bad the build, hence the seasons sucked.
Yeah I understand your examples, the issue is that the numbers are arbitrary. Rev also does not have better survivability than DH, dunno where you got that. In a very specific situation, 1v1 or 1v2 versus pure power classes, power rev has much better survivability. That’s it. Any whiff of condi and rev does worse than Meditrapper, which has 2 condi clearing meditations (if they take contemplation of purity), condi clear on F2 and infinite block for 4s on F3, invuln on their elite (72s recharge) and then they can reuse their virtues.
Also Meditrapper has 1200 range, rev does not, you’re not taking that into account. That’s both an offensive advantage (can hit from range and attack from outside enemy’s aoe) and a defensive advantage (can avoid dangerous melee attacks). With the updates, the only category where I agree that DH is inferior is mobility, that’s an easy win for rev. Power rev doesn’t have the AoE denial of a DH which is very useful in conquest, and now its damage isn’t so superior. It’s easy to say that rev’s AA does much higher damage, and it does, but with LB, DH just lands its AA and true shot in many more combat situations. Rev has a lot of bad matchups whereas DH is very flexible, its only bad matchups is a 2v2 vs either a condi necro or a condi rev (Ha!).
Nothing you’re trying to say is correct. Also, rev is far better than DH, especially when it comes to survivability, and trying to say otherwise is just stupid.
Yeah rev is still good, I did say that. Lots of builds are “good” but nothing more. Speaking of misinterpretation, I said that as a deprecating remark, not agreeing with you that you’re right. Power rev went from being an excellent role to a mediocre one. It can still do its job well, but it’s now clearly inferior to DH for single-target damage. And there’s been only a tiny concession on staff 2 that doesn’t in any way cover for rev’s continuing weakness to condi.
As to your point about it having a target, you’re reaching. As you pointed out, rev can’t fill the useful role of decapper. It’s just another profession that can move between points, WOW. Again, thief is superior in that capacity, and ele and mesmer can achieve the same result with lightning flash, or portal and blink, respectively. Phase traversal isn’t spammable due to the 5s recharge so rev can’t just instantly move between points.
I still don’t really get why you defend the change; you keep saying that you don’t look at raw numbers, so what are you looking at? You’ve claimed in another thread to have a high IQ, so I assume there’s substance backing your argument, yet you continue only making generalizations and insulting others. With the death of 5-mans, rev’s still-untouched aoe CC skills are significantly less useful, as you can only coordinate with one other player at a time. All-in-one DPS roles that don’t rely on teammates’ cooperation are more useful in a solo/duo queue, and as rev’s ability to destroy squishies just got nerfed, it’s a less desirable choice. I really struggle to understand why you think it’s still superior or at least equal to DH in solo/duo queue. If you’re just arguing that braindeads will take it because Metabattle says it’s still meta then yeah you’re right, but bad choices by low-skill players aren’t the subject of this thread.
Rev’s doesn’t decap because it’s a waste of the rev. It dominates the teamfights and goes +1.
I’ll remake an example.
If I have a value of 15 ( doesn’t matter what the value indicates ) and you have a value of 20. Then I don’t get nerfed, but you get nerfed by 20%. People will still QQ about the 20% (the raw change) and say that it’s you that is the dead class, Even tho you’re still at 16 and 1 above me. (I don’t imply anything by me/you, just simpler than x/y)
It’s better than DH coz it has better dmg, survivability, teamfight, mobility and +1.
The first paragraph made no sense, I say rev is still good because it is, and I went here coz I knew the general stupidity would QQ about it anyways. I told him who I am because we’re acquintances/friends.
I never tried to imply it myself but I am top tier. And you “being in the same mmr” is a hilarious statement, since the system is broken, especially in off-season now, I get in matches with ppl who play full signet thieves and keyboard turn and afk on point, so gratz if you’re proud to be in those matches LUL.
It’s a fact that rev is still good and meta
Amber logic
Yeah lol it’s still meta because the meta hasn’t changed yet, idk what’s your point in saying that. I was in a match yesterday with Phantaram yesterday and he was testing condi rev, which he hasn’t played (on his stream) in over a year. I asked him after the match how it went and he said “yeah it still sucks.” I wonder why he’d be testing it when he plays power rev? The stunbreak on Mallyx hasn’t been added yet so he wasn’t testing out the changes, I think he was evaluating whether he’d want to play it in the next season. Not that he plays rev much anymore. Power rev is still good, but now it’s missing its burst from staff 5, and sword 2.
Lack of burst is also largely the issue with condi rev, which has high amounts of torment at low energy cost, but few cover condis to protect the “burst.” And ofc anybody can just stand still and smack the condi rev in the face to cut the torment damage in half. Rev probably has some big changes ahead but it’s unrealistic to act like power rev will be meta after Tuesday, as its biggest bursts have been toned down significantly. Boonbotting is now the only thing that makes rev a better choice than multiple other power builds that have high single-target damage, with the changes DH is a superior choice due to its better defensive utilities, AoE denial/damage, and control. Even without Piercing Light, Meditrapper still has 3 separate CCs with F1, shield 5 and LB 3.
As to your point about “insane” mobility, Phase Traversal is insanely good at chasing targets. It’s terrible for general mobility since it can only move towards an enemy. Because it’s the only high-mobility skill Rev has, it’s inferior to a Thief’s ability to decap. Rev ties thief for roaming between 2 owned points, but is no more useful for decapping than mesmer or even lightning flash ele. Not really what I’d call insane but you can go crazy about it if you want. Rev’s mobility does not offer it a special role on the battlefield, so I’m not feeling the insanity.
“Rev is still meta” = Rev will still be meta after the changes. “still”. You’re just intentionally misinterpreting to try and make your wrong point across, but it just makes you look stupid. You even urself said “Power rev is still good”. Gj.
The meta will still 90% sure be power rev unless something hidden is found.
The only big change is the cd increase to the staff block, and to some extrent sword 2. Staff 5? You’re just extremely spoiled, and can’t look past a raw number of change.
A rev doesn’t go for decap. Every time it moves it has a target. so it does have insane mobility.
I would just like to ask, how is it that you’re so kitten-sure that Revs will still be meta after these nerfs? Have you extensively tested the changes and do your observations match with other Rev players, from the not-so experienced to the highly experienced?
And please, do not continue with the L2P line. Every time a class gets nerfed that line gets repeated. It’s an insult to the players.
Because I understand the game and I look at the result not raw change numbers.
It should be a grandmaster trait not a minor master. That would justify it having one of the highest healing per second in the game.
Lol you’re an idiot. That being said, it shouldn’t be nerfed. It’s possible the base healing could go down a bit and then much scale better with healing power to make the gs carrion build competetive by swapping to sage amulet for that build instead.

Rev will still be meta, especially power rev…
Rev wins equal skill. Warr has an insanely high skill cap. Post patch it won’t be favoured, can still win ofc. Quickness does not increase skullgrinder cast time
Source? Quickness affects skills and actions, so Skull Grinder’s cast would be reduced to 1/3s casting time. Not saying I’d use quickness for that but that’s how it works.
Quickness does not enhance movement skills. Skullgrinder is a movement skill.
Rev will be a top pick. Only in the lowest tier will ppl QQ, only because they don’t understand this game. Rev will still be meta after patch.
(edited by Iain Ross.6903)
deffinetly not revenant. really any class besides revenant.
rev will remain meta, even without the probable compensation as this is just a preview. Don’t be stupid.
the compensation is nothing. its a build no one runs. they are trying to make one build viable by making another kitten. instead of fixing the problems with the actual build. rev needed a nerf. not like this. rev was already weak to condis and all they had was pure power. every trait was meant to increase damage. why do you think that is?
I wouldn’t say it’s that weak to condis considering it has a winning matchup vs both warr and nec. Also, power rev will not be kitten, it will still be meta.
It takes a pretty good rev to beat a pretty mediocre condi war. I guess it just comes down to war just being low skill floor low skill cap. With that being said, I would be surprised if rev still has much chance in that matchup post patch, as precision strike was a massive percentage of their damage, with quickness boosted skull grinder being basically a one shot, they need to keep distance.

Great survivablity, cc, mobility and +1. Insane damage, cleave and teamfight.
Apparently a 50 percent reduction is only “slightly” lessening an ability’s damage.
GG arenanet on removing revenants from pvp as well as raiding. What actually are they meant to be used for again?
Rev’s damage, not an ability, read next time plx. Also, rev will still be meta.
Explain me please how rev will be meta if it’s main purpose is mobility and high burst dmg in teamfights when the burst is removed from the dmg, ty
In the current state rev is op as it has insane teamfight (the team with rev in the teamfight is favoured, every time) insane mobility and +1, and on top of that decent 1v1’s. The nerf to staff 5 is justified, it’ll still be rly good as utility, mass cc on stomp/ress and before burst, and it will still do good dmg, it’s just that it was op before. That nerf isn’t half the rev’s dmg, it’s like 5 or 10% total nerf to rev’s damage that was far too superior in the first place. The dmg nerf to precision is also justified. At launch it would be 1 projectile (1v1 and +1), so it will still be twice that dmg.
Ppl get stuck on the raw nerf numbers and ignore the results. If I have value of 5 and u have a value of 20, and you get nerfed by 50% and I get nerfed by 20%, ppl will still QQ about the 50% as if it killed your value compared to mine even tho I’m at 4k and ur at 10k. Rev was ridiculously strong (best class in the game) and the changes are justified, ty.
I’m Obindo btw.
Well, a warri main is defending the nerf of rev. Seems your dream come true to have the advantage over duels and take the spot with your class in the next meta. You cant be serious tht the main sources of damage and burst gets nerfed and rev will be still viable. They nerfed the whole rotation of damage and a revs current problem to need a babysitter for competive play against condis is not worth to gets adressed ?
The logic of a warri.
While I don’t play it a lot, rev is my 2nd. You say I want rev to be nerfed and that I can take the spot in the next meta, then why would I, as you say, defend it and say it will still be meta? I say it will still be meta because I understand the game and don’t just look at a number, 50%, and then think omg! that means we’re 50% worse than every other class QQQQQQQQQQQQ. It’s about 10-15% nerfed dmg (mind u that staff 5 is a utility).
I already made this example,
If every other class has a value of 15k and rev has a a value of 20k, and to be generous, rev gets nerfed 20%. Ppl will still cry about the 20% and go BabyRage about the other classes not getting the same nerf, even tho you’re still at 16k and 1k above the other classes.
The logic of random nonames.
I dont care about your simple arguments. Fact is tht most of you warri mains just bring in every professionsub-forum some points for nerfs and i cant read anything about this objective “proleague” player arguments for your own classes. Specially yours noobindo.
And dont try to tell anyone who you are. You are good, but not tht much tht anybody wants to build a shrine for you. I play in same mmr area like you and faced you alot, like rom and others. So dont be the villageboy. Its a fact tht rev gets hitted hard.
But its Noobindos logic.

Correction: Since rev is the strongest class in the game right now, we’ll bring it down a bit to still be really strong, but not too dominant*
Oh yeah, the “slightly” line: 50% and 33% nerf to the 2 main attacks of the Rev is “slightly” and “down a bit”.
It’s funny looking back at the May 2016 nerf to SOTM of 15%. People were saying that ANET did the right thing by being conservative so as not to kill class viability. Then 6 months later they come down with a radical downgrade that looks like it will threaten class viability. 50% downgrade after a 15% downgrade means about at 43-44% downgrade in damage overall. Almost half. So much for taking things slow eh?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Surge-of-the-Mists-Nerfed-YES
I will not be playing my Rev in pvp.
It’s about 10-15% nerf to rev overall, who had insanely high damage in the first place. Rev will still be meta and one of the strongest classes (I believe mes is not the strongest) and then rev) Just the shiro port alone will make it essential.
If every other class has a value of 15k and rev has a value of 20k (which is p much the case) and then rev gets nerfed 15%, let’s say 20% just to be generous. Ppl will QQ about the 20% even tho you’re still at 16k and 1k above the other classes. Look at the results instead of looking at only the changing number to have an excuse to cry.

On paper the patch looks devastating, I might have overreacted a little and will have to see the new rev in action but I am kinda upset about the fact that tons of dmg are removed and we don’t get anything in return, even survivalbility got nerfed with staff 3 cd increase.
I know that you are obindo btw
It should be a preview
So, they think rev is OP in team fights, but they nerf the damage of precision strike, an ability that is super hard to land for max damage in team fights… Okay.
+1’s, 1v1’s. It was ridiculously strong, and still is good.

Sword 2 was the bread and butter. Staff 5 was the burst. We were essentially a bursty fighter. What’s left? Spam staff 2 because it costs 5 less energy? They nerfed the playstyle of the class and the fun of it. That’s a massive mistake to do by a balance team.
They did neither of those things.

ikr, it’s stupid that there still are power nec’s LUL. If you’re playing an intentionally bad build, why are u complaining about anything in the first place.
or… zerk + dura runes…
mind blown.
How much extra hp are we even talking with marauders?
Dura > anything. If you’ve dura, don’t ever use mara instead of zerker.
or… zerk + dura runes…
If you watched Episode 1 of Best Player, you’ll see that I never have a problem fighting on point. Even vs 3 players. It comes down to skill. I can hold off 3 on pretty much any class except thief. And that’s only because holding them off implies they’re still alive. I’d suggest training harder and watching some pro’s play. The game is perfectly balanced imo: those with skill beat those without.
You think its balanced because you play one of the overtuned classes.
If you think its balanced and you are skilled then show us what you are able to do with necromancer on your own for example thats all i care about.I don’t care what you do on druid, you said the game is perfectly balanced. So if you think you are skilled and skill beats others like you said: i want to see how do you beat every classes on necro and double DH’s and holding points vs 3 players etc.
I suggest that you suggest peoples also to play a class that can carry them a lot before telling them to train harder.
You do know he’s trolling right? he knows he’s below average
No it shouldn’t. Because solo q dosent have any class distrubtion and is totally randomized, some builds are overperforming in solo Q thus people stack the same class up to 4 times and there is absolutely nothing you can do.
Stacking 4 of one class is just bad so…
Then…why does the non-stacking rule still exists in ESL? If the game should be balanced around ESL, then why use different set of rules?
If the balance at “average” level doesn’t matter as people here say…let’s remove no stacking rules and let’s see if the ESL team keep the same “balanced” composition as now.
It’s about whether or not it should be, not how well it is.
Of course it should, it always should be. If not around top tier, then around what? another tier? it’d be “Balanced around another tier”, so it gotta be focused on any 1 tier right? And so if there’s going to be 1 tier it should be balanced around it should obviously be top tier where there is a competetive scene where balance actually matters, that can determine (prerequisite) and influence tournaments and (hopefully if ranked becomes good with s5) competetive ranked matches, which matters more than if Frank who did a random q on friday evening can survive his 2v1 for 2 more or less seconds, that really doesn’t even matter.
Top tier is also much more stable and defined. Its not as much of a subjective matter, it’s simply the best players, and the difference is not that big so balance can be tuned far better. That’s where you’ll find rather equal skill. Matchups are determined by (pretty much equal skill) top tier players dueling. It’s more equal and stable basis for balance than a kitten fest of “mid tier” that is too diverse and undefined, that it’s a kitten fest and, for example, matchups can’t be determined as well, as well as every other area.
And then QQ on the forums about something being OP to feel better about themselves being worse.
(edited by Iain Ross.6903)
1v1 matchups are rock paper scissors. Bad idea.
This!
Asking for a 1v1 arena just shows the lack of understanding how the game is balanced. Such a game mode would not be skill- but build-based.
Facing Power Rev? Switch to Condi Mes! Facing Scrapper? Switch to Reaper! …
(Btw.: I don’t like rock paper scissors and I would prefer balancing around 1v1.)
So by your logic every one should just play rock paper scissors and no one shoots they just keep switching around like musical chairs?
Can you be any more short-sighted?This does not show a lack of understanding on how the game is balanced.
You literally just made that up.The reason if there were one right now that would hinder 1v1 in anyway that I might imagine is for the exact reason we don’t have much build diversity. There is some but not as much as I would like.
You literally just accused someone of having sub par logic and then expressed that same type of logic.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with 1v1.
Your comment does not make any sense. I don’t know if it is your (obvious) lack of understanding my previous comment or something else…
Winning a 1v1 a.t.m. would be just a matter of luck what build you face and not whether or not you are better than your opponent. Is that so hard to understand?
I play an Interrupt Berserk Chronomancer. No it’s not the Stealth Burst classic Mesmer.
There is nothing lucky about repeatedly interrupting another player. Please note the reason I use the word interrupt and not STUN. I can unload 8-10 consecutive interrupts not just stuns….Meaning I watch your character for every movement you are “about” to cast.
I am not the best Mesmer but I am darn good at what I do. And I am THE ONLY one playing Chronomancer this way. This I am sure.You can pick all the traits in the word and still not be able to play that build well.
Hence…why ANYONE plays the build(s) they do…becasue they do better with them.Repeatedly saying I don’t understand something doesn’t mean anything.
You certainly can’t prove that either with that practice. Protesting in the forums and you don’t even know why. Did you vote Hillary? Jk…maybe. No just kidding. I swear.Winning a 5v5 in dysfunctional king of the hill (casually) is extremely luck based.
If you aren’t dependent on anyone but yourself (1v1) and your skill there is an incredible smaller amount of luck to do with the outcome of the battle.Oh you didn’t bring Condition cleanse? Guess you WONT be getting lucky some other player got you covered. You got downed cause you missed clicked? Guess you wont get lucky with that thief passing by stealth rezzing you. Oh guess you got lucky you didn’t have one of the team quitters on your team in leagues. Guess you were un lucky if you did?
You talk about luck and me not understanding pvp balance and you can’t even see the rng-like elements already in the game mode.
TL;DR
Anyone who wants to play 1v1 does not affect anyone who wants to play 5v5 3Way K.O.T.H. If the game mode was so fun or entertaining you have nothing to worry about massive amounts (of what little is left) of players switching over. I certainly would find it a lot more enjoyable to 1v1 an endless stream of players…no chat, fight ends after one player has been defeated, positions reset immediately upon victory. Next! Win or Lose.
I’d love to have instant matches with 0 B.S.
No extra kitten rage chat. Players are completely responsible for their own doings. No people just quitting….ugh….just for whatever B.S. reason they come up with.Just me…and and my opponent.
Man…the more I think about it…dang…I’d really like that a lot.
Only read first lines and he doesn’t mean that there’s no skill with the players and only luck, he means that it’s luck as in you’re lucky if you get a favoured matchup as it is a major prerequisite and given equal skill (/performance) you should win, same goes for loosing a loosing matchup the other way around.
It’s good, learn to force matchups and take good matchups.
1v1 matchups are rock paper scissors. Bad idea.
Dh’s not broken.
