2v2 DPS ONLY tournament

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.

What are your thoughts?

not even close anymore

rm on 2s lives longer than healer dps teams basically, same for surv feral

it would be a tournament for RM and jungle players only, nothing interesting

That’s because they are against healer dps, the pressure of healer dps is a lot less than double dps.

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.

DB + Kidney at the same time Pog

That’s equally as much skill as a Warrior who bolts the target while his Hpala hoj’s the enemy healer or vice versa btw.

but all those get absolutely curbstomped by rm tho

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.

Feral Mage, as well.

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.

Strong choice of words. Couldn’t agree more though.

I Agree, I think this tournament has a lot of protentional, but I don’t know who has time/capability to make it happen.

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.

Sure because most of things rn are absolutely insanely overpower, such as enh/ret or feral/enh etc…

Try to run forever as sub/sp, it’s just horrible I to pretty much everything.

maybe he should have worded it

Dps-only teams require mostly more skill and coordination to execute.

You want to ban double rogue or balance, but you don’t ban comps like rogue/mage or rogue/balance so the tournament makes basically no sense.

Knaittiz tried to make it once, he had awesome content but that video is simply meh.
Now that I think of it it was MEH even.

Yeah of course, obviously if such a tournament was to happen it should ban every single comp in which the two classes hold any synergy.

Who wouldn’t be hyped about watching skirmishes after all ?

DH Outlaw vs Arms Arcane let’s go !

how does it devalue anything if you list a bad 2v2 double dps comp.

Try running MW + ret in 2s its horrible aswell still doesn’t mean heal dps is bad or hard.

The top tier 2v2 double dps comps are just as easy as your average rdruid hunter team.

Really not much difference.

Nah man.

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.

Double dps requires less mistakes.

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.

It’s not a bad comp, it’s only bad cause there is way too much broken thing rn.

These days to win you only need to get a cheese mechanic, broken off healing or tankiness.

Hard to believe mw/ret is horrible, get can delete people in a wing proc and mw seems pretty good in 2s.

No one did. The one part I answer is about banning good comps from a potential tournament, as if watching bad comps only is of any interest at all.

Same reaction about banning good comps woth no Rogues like Jungle. I find the idea bad, and boring.

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.
