Please no moverino, looking for forum is ded
Hello everyone, my name is Teef Teef Teef Teef.
I am undoubtedly one of the best thieves in the game. In 1v1 there’s very few that consistently beat me, I know every rotation, every strategy, every comp, I know how to peel, how to stay alive, how to DPS. I die 1-2 times a game max, yet I don’t play passively, ever, I play smart. I ALWAYS pull my weight when I’m playing seriously. I’ve played this game since December of 2013, and I’ve been competitive since day 1. I watch every tourney, I look at all the strats and comps and splits. I know almost every mechanic there is to know in this game. To be frank, I’m pretty good at the game.
Previously I’ve been on two teams. Both those teams failed. The first team I formed myself when I was not as good, and it failed after 2 months due to simple lack of teamwork and lack of mechanical skill, some of which was on me because I was worse back then. The reason the second team failed was simply because it was going nowhere. There were attitude issues with certain members, and mechanical skill issues with the others, I got sick of it and left. In the first team we played in 2 ESLs, we lost first round in both, first time to zH, second time to Olrun and Kizos’ team, so yeah this was a while ago, probably more than six months now. On my second team, we did the Go4 once, we beat The Dream 2-0 in the first round, then went on to face The Abjured (nice brackets lol) and got rekt. The team disbanded 2 weeks later. It’s been a bit more than a month since I left that team.
Here I am looking again for a team. Basically, I want a good team. I just want a team where I’m not significantly better than everyone else. I don’t want to have all the pressure on me to make plays because I’m the best player. I don’t want to “carry”, basically. I want no weak links, good teamwork, and good mechanical skill. I also want to play with people that I like and enjoy playing with. I know that in game I seem like an arrogant jerk sometimes, but honestly it’s just the anonymity of the internet getting to me. In real life I’m a nice person. I dont ever rage in teamspeak, I never call anyone bad, etc. I am kinda boring though XD
So yeah

Ravenmoon, you’re making quite the fool of yourself. You’re telling people to “L2P”, and then you go on to say that you struggle versus mesmers, that too on SD Thief, which counters Mesmer to an incredible extent. Then you go on to rant about some random stuff and spread misinformation. You’re essentially one of those people that think they’re good but you actually aren’t.

In terms of making thief less of a counter, I think consume plasma should just be removed and replaced by something crappy, won’t be much of a nerf to thief but it’ll help mesmers in that matchup a lot. That would be a good first step.

This isn’t that bad…it doesn’t affect steal at all. RIP infiltrator’s sig, but I use blinding powder on DP now anyway, and Ill just use agility signet on SD.

If it does end up bad… bye game

This is how I see it, you’re on the lowest MMR rating, basically you’re in the same tier as bad players and other new players, which is fine, that’s normal for new people. However, that level of MMR has less people than the “average” tier, so longer queues. In the average tier, queue times are normally less than 2 minutes. Then there’s the high tier, etc. The average queue time is misinforming because it’s not accurate for low tier players and high tier players, who have longer queue times.

The reason why Engi/Necro is strong isn’t because of the condi spam it’s because of the cc spam. Most meta builds run 1 stunbreak, so you use engi knockback and then when they stunbreak it you go into a 4s fear chain followed by crate, RIP.

I’ll be honest, I’ve always liked aoe spam zerg gameplay. Sure, it doesn’t take skill, but its so fun. I think something like this would be great when waiting for queues.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people wanting to nerf celestial amulet so that the game can go back to the Zerker meta. They claim that in a meta like that, it would take high skill and be very quick paced. People want to believe that’ll be the case but, in actuality it’ll be awful. Full zerker team comps basically NEED Thief/Mesmer to be viable because they provide team defense in the form of stealth. What teamfights will come down to is whole teams camping in stealth and then whoever leaves stealth first gets instagibbed. That’ll lead into a snowball and then a fast and easy 3 cap, and then they’ll spawn camp, just like any cele comp, but much faster. 3 people spamming random crap on someone and killing them doesnt take skill. The reason why this doesn’t work right now is because of the synergy of the celestial classes. Take that away and we get this.

Do you guys really want a zerker meta?

You guys highly overestimate the actual amount of skill it takes to play a Zerker comp. I was watching M_oobs play the other day in the AWO tourney vs a 4 DPS comp (SF Ele, Thief, Mesmer, Cele Engi(Engi is DPS IMO)+ DD Ele point holder), it essentially came down to him random dodging all over the place hoping he wouldn’t get instagibbed because half the time they were all in stealth. In a game like that if you eat 1 CC you die. Does that actually take skill? I don’t think so. I used to think that Zerker classes took the most skill and had the highest skillcap in the game. In some ways that’s true, but after playing Shortbow and DD ele extensively, there’s definitely a level of play in a “bunker” build thats different from playing a Zerker class. You really learn how to keep track of your allies, how to keep their health up, the amount of conditions they have, peels, etc and by learning to do those kinda of things it really improved me as a player because I later started using offensive peels when I went back to Thief. This is probably really off topic, but it’s just dumb that people think cele is faceroll and easy. Celestial is definitely healthy for the game, this meta requires the most skill of any other meta by far.

Wow. Quite surprising that the Abjured dropped every single game vs oRNG. I don’t think anyone was expecting that, I personally thought it would be the opposite. I think Abjured needs to be less overconfident and really look into their rotations and teamfights. I think Phantaram especially needs to focus on being more in the teamfights and supporting DPS instead of being 1v1 hero, and Nos just needs to position better. I think the way that Abjured plays vs NA teams kind of spoiled them, they aren’t used to teams that really know how to fight their team comp.

Or maybe just get better at the game ^^

Shoutbow is just as broken as cele engi and cele ele…

That is to say, not broken. None of them are overpowered.

BTW if you really wanna nerf shoutbow you better be prepared for Warrior to become trash tier again. Argue all you want but Hambow isn’t that strong anymore and there is no viable zerker warrior build, or any other warrior build period.

For not being overpowered there certainly are not many alternatives to running 2 Cele pointholders. All other Bunkers are a far cry from Ele and War to a slightly lesser extent. What else can you use to hold points, 1vX and do as many other useful thing? Bunker Guard? Turret Engi? Spirit Ranger? Lol kk. Ele/War are currently miles ahead of alternative point holders in overall value & flexibility especially.

Nobody wants more bunker guards, turret engis, or spirit rangers except the players who play them. I’m sure most people will agree a DPS+Ele/Warr meta is better for the game.

Why would you not play meta builds? Have fun being mediocre forever I guess.

robertul.3679:

You obviously haven’t met cruuk. If you had he would have decapitated you so fast you wouldn’t even dare to call anybody else the most lethal thief.

What has happened to this game….

Cruuk is one of the worst thieves I’ve ever fought. He camps stealth near far point, all you have to do to counter him is place an engi there and he’ll do nothing all game. He can’t actually 1v1 anything that isn’t a zerker. Even vs zerkers his reactions and overall mechanical skill is so low you can instagib him and he wont react.

OP, the thief build you’re describing doesn’t exist and if you’re talking about PD Condi Thief…. that build is awful and doesn’t do anything unless you let it.

Shoutbow is just as broken as cele engi and cele ele...

That is to say, not broken. None of them are overpowered.

BTW if you really wanna nerf shoutbow you better be prepared for Warrior to become trash tier again. Argue all you want but Hambow isn’t that strong anymore and there is no viable zerker warrior build, or any other warrior build period.

RIP DP Thief

#FPSWARS2HYPE

Actually I saw their guild in a tourney once they got 500-0ed (literally). Its funny because they say they’re good at fights but they lose every teamfight vs real pvp teams. Now they’re gonna steam in here saying “dueling builds aren’t good for teamfights” but in that case you can literally just split up and 1v1 hero everyone, but that’s some next level stuff apparently. Conquest is basically 5v5 Deathmatch with more strategy since there’s actual objectives, at its base though it’s really about winning even numbered fights.

Lettuce.2945:

Best at what? Team pvp? Probably. Thief? No.

Toker is probably best thief as well. Unless you’re implying Kronos Xnm is better. Which he isn’t.

uberdingdong you’re so misinformed it’s hilarious. Keep posting buddy.

A good SD thief could 1v1 Phanta.
Too bad nobody plays SD anymore cuz it’s the most boring build NA.

Aaron.2413:

NA: phantaram(ele), noscoc(necro), backpack(engi), tarcis (warrior), Toker(thief), ender (Mesmer), ranger (none), guard (none)

all of those players basically win all of their 1v1s…. Phantaram wins the most vs other players on the list…

How does one be best at ele dueling? Also SD thief duels are completely RNG most of the time.

Btw Kronos Xnm beats all of these guys with his Shortbow 3 spam until afkragequit. He’s obviously best dueler in game. No joke.

Celestial on greatsword is terrible

Leaderboards lol

inb4 Kronos Xnm

Great players and great guys, definitely fun people to play with

TheFamster.7806:

Have you watched the old matches before the celestial meta? Do you know how boring it was? It was about bunker guardians, spirit rangers and hambow warriors and everyone fighting for one node while each kept their home nodes, and with constant insta rez as well as super tankiness that made the game look really boring. Basically there were only 5 professions (guardian, warrior, ranger, mesmer and thief) and extreme zerg control.
I’d watch fight spread evenly across the node, where the rotation becomes extremely important as well as individual skills to 1v1/2v2 constantly while calculating the respawn timers instead of winning a one combat that lasts 1/3 of the match length which ultimately decides which team wins the game.

So much this.

Lawful you must not be playing DD ele right in PvP. Its the strongest spec in the game.

Ranger easiest class in terms of being effective because all you do is DPS at long range.

You guys are overthinking it. Think about it this way, its a condi tank that only has access to torment, poison and limited burning, NO BLEEDS from what I see. Its offense in terms of power damage is conpletely based on being spammed with condis, it has very little protection against power damage other than facetanking it with heavy armor. That brings me to another point, based on the skills we saw, Revenant has only one mobility skill and its targeted. OP? No way? Its basically a crappy necro that’s tankier vs condis. Not just that, but looking at the way that the skills are used, they’re very clunky and I think in pvp it’ll be hard to actually hit a lot of those skills. Overall im thinking Rev is going to be UP not OP. They only thing that worries me even a little bit is the Mallyx(?) elite skill.

Hi guys,
it goes like this…most of my pvp games i am in top player list or first in my team.And i lose most of my games…to give you an example games played 80 / 30 wins.
My question is wether that is normal?or i should start searching for a group that i can play pvp with,since i am always going for solo queue?
I find it dificult to control myself not to break my keyboard every time and i am not even a rage person…still it started to kitten me of when i am constantly doing my best but still i lose games and i need more time to get my bonuses and pvp experience…i am pow. ranger with rubicon set and i own the motherkitteners…so what could be my problem?is it me…or the kitten teammates?

Your score doesn’t matter. Put that out of your head. You are a power ranger. You cannot carry in games. You cannot fight on point much.

It’s you. Not hating on you or ranger. It’s just you have to realize some classes cannot carry and solo queuers need to be carried.

Lol this couldn’t be farther from the truth. ANY class can carry a team, you dont have to stand on point to win a teamfight lol. You also dont need to stand on point to make good decisions and rotations. Dont know why anyone would get the idea that some classes cant carry. Its all about player skill, not class.

Odysseus.8095:

Rank means nothing, it doesn’t make you the #1 player. My friends and I had an undefeated record for a long time after the leaderboards came out, and the people we literally 500-0’d in ranked ques 24/7 were ranked higher than us because they simply played more games. You being #1 on the leader board doesn’t make you the #1 player na or eu, it just means the leaderboards are horrible. In reality the top 5 on the leaderboard should be Phanta, Nos, Chaith, Wakkey, and Toker. If anyone thinks otherwise they are just not very smart.

Not 100% WR anymore

#Teef2gud #Teefisesports #TeefisSwAg #TeefrektHordi

@OP nice troll, if you’re serious then LOL cuz 52% winrate is bad. Most of my games are soloQ, maybe 1/4 duo/trioQing and 1/6 5 manning and my WR is higher than 60%, would be higher if I took LB seriously.

The meta is fine.

I get 7m Queues when I solo Q^

DD ele is still the strongest spec in PvP, there’s only one meta build that counters it in 1v1 and that’s SD Thief assuming highest level both classes. Second best team fighting class, best 1v1 class, second highest mobility class… Nerf did nothing.

I don’t think its unbalanced though, it’s just really strong, which is fine, there’ll always be a class like that in any meta.

Its cool that you posted a video and all and that you have fun… no offense but the truth is you’re beginner level at thief and if you come to the forum you’re bound to get flamed….

Warlord of Chaos.7845:

Saiyan.1704:

Anet’s made 8 very balanced classes

3 classes dominating the meta for 1 year is certainly balanced to me.

Those 3 classes dominate the meta because they bring team support that is vital to the survival of every other class in a teamfight, while not being as useless as a bunker guard. I see this as a positive because as long as you stack 2-3 celes, the other two classes can be ANYTHING. Thus, every class has a role and is viable.

BALANCE

Please tell ANet to let us queue from out of the mists. Nobody likes the new system and we still get the same amount of 4v5s. 4v5s never happened because people were in the middle of an activity and wanted to finish, it happened because of circumstance, or because a 12 year old decided he enjoys the misery of others. We still get the same number of 4v5s, let us actually do something fun instead of sitting and doing nothing.

Yeah ANet if you mess up on the expansion and you don’t balance for 6 months any chance of “esports” is dead, pretty much guaranteed.

Nice video, not many good players in there though. Then again… good players in WvW are rare. Still very nice gameplay.

Offhand sword HYPE!

#anetpls

Lol PU Mesmer is terrible in PvP you should be glad if there’s one on the enemy team. In terms of beating them dodge their scepter blocks and use steal when they have aegis and protection. Also cleave the staff clones down, they’re most of the mesmer’s damage. You can always disengage and reset and they can’t catch you either. Also remember they’re still a mesmer. They have low health and armor even with Rabid Amulet. Just train then down.

These aren’t the reasons why the game isn’t an esport lol. Its not a gameplay issue its COMPLETELY on Arenanet. They balance every 6 months, they release pvp content every 6 months, they don’t get rid of bad content such as the new LB, most of the devs don’t seem to even care about the game, esports….LOL

Lord Kuru.3685:

I thought specializations were PvE-exclusive?

I wish… Im pretty scared of what the new expansion will hold in terms of balance. If balance significantly changes and certain things become too OP then i’m just going to quit the game. No more waiting 6 months for balance patches.

Thief is fine.
