Scatter vs Binding

Back when I was playing my MM, I always took Binding when I got a lobby with Aff, Spriest, Ele and even Fire mage.

So, now I had a lobby with MM, UHDK and WW.

I politely asked MM to swap Scatter with Binding because we lacked a stun anyway, and obviously because scattering my Flame Shocks off felt like griefing…and I politely got told to get lost.

Am I in the wrong for asking this?

This is why people want everything solo queue…
Honestly feels like there is no community at this point.

Honestly, I can’t say my interactions in RSS have been overly unpleasant. Mostly it is target calling and proposing swapping targets on cds regulary.

However, since this post, 2 toxic exchanges occured, first from the glad UHDK who played destro in a lobby and kept asking me why I my pressure was bad…while he was pillaring almost the entire round trying to kite an arms warrior instead of going triangle in the lobby.

Second one was a prevoker accusing me of botting and threatening to get me banned. And all because I was kicking his (and augmentation who, to my amazement, appeared in the lobby) cc. Never seen a person so salty for going 3-3, and I’ve seen my share.

Damn I am an effking male draenei shaman, irl in my thirties and with too many rounds played in RSS since my kid doesn’t allow me a scheduled session whatsoever, don’t need that type of bullcr*p in my life.

In melee lobbies where I know I will be the target I prefer binding. When they are sitting on you its really easy to get a double stun. Also with everyone cleaving all the time I find scatter just breaks the exact moment I try to apply it.

Also binding can do pretty well to get a stun + trap on the healer, or just lock the kill target in the middle of the arena to allow you to get some DMG into say someone kiting 24/7 around pillars.

I only take scatter if my team already has a ton of stuns.

Nope, I was in lobby as affli with hunter who use scatter on cd and I ask him to not trap or scatter and that Ill just dot and spam fears on heal.

maybe he can’t trap w/o scatter (just like 90% of current hunters lmao)

Scatter is always better
IF used to land a CC chain

if you suck at scatter, use bind

Scatter is also a pretty nice option to interrupt if needed

Even when you’re meaning well people take it as hostility. Especially in SS, where most people have probably just come off a bad last game, so their adrenaline is coursing.

On my view soloq rounds i ask people too not use a 2 sec stun on a killtarget if i have something like kidneyshot the best stun ingame

I gave up and just play arround the fact that every player does what he wants, good player can adapt on the fact that player in soloq making questionable desicions

specially for this queues are made 30+ min so u have enough time to chill :smile:
