I didn’t touch PvP in BFA outside of playing it for the essence, once I had the essence I didn’t play it any more. In SL when I thought I might PvP again, first arena I entered I met moonkin + holy paladin with bop + AM that convoked me. Yep, that was the season 1 for me, all games I played, didn’t touch it again after that until SL was over.
Because PvP balance has been bad ever since they started making it around arena, I got tired of resto druids already in TBC when I tried to play mage/rogue in 2v2 in season 2. “hehe, im stealthed, can’t be poly’d and my partner is a human with perception so screw you LOLOLOLOL, your rogue can’t effectively restealth even if you manage to get him out of combat because human racial combined with faerie fire makes it impossible eheauehauehauehauehua”. Very fun gameplay.
Or when playing my priest playing priest/warlock. “lololo, you can’t even mana burn me because I can’t be burned if I shift into my forms xDdDdDD”
Playing my feral vs resto druids was just boring as hell “HEHE, LOOK AT ME, I CAN SPAM MY HIBERNATE XDDDDDDDDD”. Very fun gameplay. If another feral druid was to do that, they had to leave cat and I could just leave cat too to prevent it, but against a resto druid that’s just mashing it? No, you can’t just keep leaving cat because you’re not doing any damage and you were going to oom in the long run from the shifting.
Dumbest spec since arena was introduced. At its worst it has been mediocre, never really bad like other healers at their worst.
edit: It’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen in any game with pvp I’ve played, outside of AWP in CS.
I only play it to get the rewards I’m interested in nowadays as a result of the bad balance and when I’m really bored and have nothing else to do.
In TWW I’m probably not touching PvP outside of being very bored after I get the enchant, if it’s worth getting looks-wise, if it’s not worth getting I’m stopping once I get the mog. It’s nowhere close to balanced enough to play it for fun.
