I’ve enjoyed reading this thread. I’m new to the game (just picked it up a month ago) and after watching your match this past week, you inspired me to give the thief a try. I’m only rank 30 in pvp so far, so obviously my experience won’t necessarily reflect that of people with higher MMR, but I’m having a fun time with your build. I love the mobility. None of the other classes I’ve tried give you as much freedom to move around the map. Any advice to somebody very new to the class?
Honestly, keep to Thief even during the times when it’s weak.
When Thief comes back up to a balanced state again? You’ll be used to outplaying everyone to win, so once you’re on the same playing field you’ll be a league ahead.I really like that line of reasoning, but the problem is your team will be mad at you for running an underpowered or even simply non-meta class. Maybe practice dueling in guild halls?
Maybe it’s because I’m at a lower MMR, but I haven’t run into many complainers so far. One or two have said something like “these thieves” but overall, nobody seems to be getting upset. I also try to talk to my team before the game starts, be nice and set a positive vibe. I don’t get wounded if people get upset with me. I’ve been gaming a long time and the most toxic players I’ve run into in this game are nicer than the nicest people in games like League of Legends. I just play and try to improve.

Don’t get used to winning in Solo Q.
Seriously, whether a Thief is useful in a comp or not depends on the comp and how they use it (as caed mentioned before in this thread).
Played two pvp Solo Q matches today (not a lot of time)… when I was on my thief (champion shadow, main for two and a half years), we lost 350-500, when i tried revenant (been casually playing rev from time to time since HoT) we won 500-100…maybe it was just luck but that reflects basically the last month of pvping
EDIT: nevertheless, stick to thief if its fun. thats what most of thief mains nowadays did, despite of losing.
I’m all about playing games to have fun. I mean, I like winning, but I’m not trying to be a pro or anything. Just want to have a good time. My first thief game actually went pretty well. I had a good personal score, managed to consistently get caps on nodes and give my team advantages in fights. Reasonable damage output, and some clutch elite finishes. It was a close game and we ended up losing to an unfortunately timed lord race on Legacy of the Foefire. Overall, the class is feeling like a good fit starting out. I had a blast.
