Cataclysm PvP - nostalgia

I recently started watching some good old PvP videos and I realized how good s9 and s10 were compared to BfA.

Elemental Shaman (yes Drainerx - he was known as the best Ele EU back then)

Wow! Ele is casting. He was caster not instanter like now.

Warrior (One of the best Warriors from US)

Wow! Warrior could make plays!

MM Hunter. One of the last times it was fun and viable

Rogue (I know it was overpowered but some of Khuna plays are insane)

Why is this game only worse?

You actually had to put thoughts into your gameplay back then, something that blizz doesn’t like.

This x2.

Arguably you CAN make some plays now and then even nowadays, but many classes are very bankrupt and can only do as many things as their buttons allow.

S10 was one of the best seasons I ever played. Shame S11 had to taint the rest of the expansion so much.

Season 9 was so amazing. Good old days when everything was pretty balanced there. Every class/spec had a chance.

Now look at BfA, such a shame.

Even small things like backpedaling into smoke bomb not to get gouged mattered. Classes were dealing good sustain damage without CD. Many classes only CD was Gladiator’s Badge. It made other spells more inportant while now it’s only cooldown trading.

Person who thought that making you able to hit backstab or shred not from behind only was so wrong. It added so much depth. Also integrating Ravage into Shred for Feral was huge mistake. Removing weapon enhancements, seals, auras, some totems, many spells from disc, making mages able to burst without casting, removing stances. This all was done under “quality of life” theme but it’s not quality of life if you feel you can’t do anything and back then you had so many posibilities. It had some depth and it was (I know Blizz would be suprised but yeah) FUN. Depth and posibilities are always fun. You felt that even after playing your spec for few years you had an area to improve.
