Make all comps viable

PVP Arenas
1

Every expansion, my friends and I have a big discussion about what classes we should play to give us the most flexibility to be able to play 2s and 3s together. We have a spreadsheet that maps out all the known viable compositions and which classes we are interested in playing. Often someone has to make a compromise and play something that they don’t necessarily want to, in order to form a ‘viable’ composition - which often seems a little sad.

What makes a composition viable is dependant on a lot of things (if we ignore what is currently good/isn’t) - cooldowns that synergize, defensives, utilities, cc, etc. But one of the main reasons that classes can or cannot work together is if they CC can work together - i.e your main form of CC doesn’t DR the other player’s main form of CC.

I think this could be solved by choosing what type of category your CC is going to be - this kind of existed with shadow priests, you have the ability to take mind bomb which is a disorientate or psychic horror which is a stun. My thinking is that as, for example, a monk, you could choose for your Paralysis to be a disorientate instead of an incapacitate, giving you the ability to play with mages as currently polymorph DRs paralysis

I know this will require a ton of thought and make the game a little bit more difficult because you wouldn’t necessarily know what CC chains the opposition could create (this could possibly be solved by a UI indicator) - but would give players the ability to mix and match compositions in a way that wouldn’t have been possible before.

tl:dr - make it possible to select what category your CC will be

Be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Make Turbo viable and rmx would cry again

Turbo is viable. There is a reason why several teams are playing turbo at 2.5-2.7 MMR right now.

I guess you aren’t there ?

Why would rmx cry when rmd and arcane assa beat turbo on ladder the last time turbo was “viable”

Viable for him means, overpowered. Bad boosted people like him can`t get past 1800 with 475 unless the comp they play is broken.

I’m not talking about specific know current compositions - I’m talking about having the ability to mix and match classes that currently don’t work due to overlapping DR cc

I have run into a lot of turbos recently, but tbh I don’t think it’s that good. They hardly ever win, I’ve lost like once when my ret got caught off guard by the burst, but since then it’s a win every time.

Depends on the players I would say. The ones at 2600 mmr I faced sure won games to be at that rating !

I lost to Avines turbo exactly the same way. They went on my Hunter, then they went on me for 2 globals. :F

Poster makes a case for a system which would bring more variability to arena compositions.

The literal rest of the posts discuss the past, present, and I’m sure soon enough the future of Turbo.

Lol’d.
