2v2 dps only (no healers, probably also no tanks) tournament would be so fun to watch, because:
Dps-only teams require a lot of skill and coordination to execute.
Shorter games, mistakes are more punishing, it keeps you on the edge while watching.
New opportunity for new teams/setups than what we are used to see.
double classes can also be banned to avoid cheesy setups like double rogue/double balance.
-It doesn’t have to be made by blizzard and money involved as then, balance-issues would arise…etc. Even if a streamer makes it just for content would be great to see.
Blockquote rm on 2s lives longer than healer dps teams basically, same for surv feral
That’s because they are against healer dps, the pressure of healer dps is a lot less than double dps.
Blockquote it would be a tournament for RM and jungle players only, nothing interesting
what about balance rogue, ret war, destro SP, enh ret, balance/caster, there are a lot of viable teams and see-able teams in ladder, and there would be more if not healer dps are meta and counters many of other dps setups.
A well played Balance Rogue with a Venthyr Rogue doesn’t get “curbstomped” that much by RM. It is largely underestimated, maybe because I know of like 2 people who actually know how to play that actually right. But it is good !
Comps such as Rogue Hunter would also be very good and would help lessen RM dominance as it can very much kill RM.
never understood why people think double dps requires so much more skill in 2s tho.
It never did not even in older expansions, it’s just an entirely different playstyle but running 24/7 around the map playing “not to get hit” is not exactly “skill”
and since this is about a tournament i think we’re talking about the better half of the playerbase.
I Agree, I think this tournament has a lot of protentional, but I don’t know who has time/capability to make it happen.
Blockquote Stopped reading here.
You are telling me mitigating as much dmg as possible, CC people perfectly while doing as much dps as possible isn’t the epitome of pvp skill? the first part is mainly that. Look at double mage mitchjonnes, those games were so much fun to watch and it does require a lot of skill to live as long as mitchjonnes does it.
There’s RM, and then there is Healer + Dps that are just way way above everything else.
You can play like a complete box and jump behind pillars etc and still win because you’re playing with a Holy Priest.
Just ban rogues and such a tournament might be fun to watch.
They should also consider to block any stealth ability for a fair environment but without rogues a huge step into the right direction would have been taken.
And why is it that you always show up when someone is addressing rogues as too over tuned? We all know that rogues are too strong.
double rogue means long games due to their ability to constant re(s) and the eye is basically pointless at this point. However, rogue mage can be countered by any class with enh or ele, enh hunter or ret can be difficult for RM, shamans rly counter mages.
