@Blizzard please remove the Unchained Gladiators Shackles trinket from the game.
It’s so OP and poorly designed that it makes me doubt if Blizzard actually know what they’re doing. Clearly no PvP developers actually play the game and are making things up as they go.
It has the power to decide games which should never happen. A singular item winning an arena match. At one point in a 3s game my healer had THREE shackles on him at the same time.
Furthermore, there’s now been many occasions that I’ve lost a 1 v 1 because I don’t play with the shackle. For example, recently I was fighting a monk in 2s. Both of us have low health, I’m kiting well and I’ve created some distance between us to blue arrow him and win the game. Suddenly, I’m slowed by the trinket and slowly killed by it. As an MM I cannot use it as it doesn’t combine well with our rotation and play style (according to the top Twitch streamer).
There have been cries to nerf / remove the trinket since it was released but Blizzard does nothing.
Yeah, i somehow forgot he talked about 1v1. I appologize.
However having a short CD on FD still leaves an opening of 15 seconds whenever its used. So its still pretty naive to counter with the argument of “but bruh, you are class X, therefore you have no right to complain” when his concern is legit. That trinket gotta go.
Worst idea ever, Shackles are the best for finishing off a long grueling fight, and yeah sometimes on me. idc. the most amazing trinket ever produced imo
