How do you learn by having a script play for you? It’s ironic that casuals got this tool while accusing high end players of having addons play the game for them. (even though latter is true in some cases)

Knowing the mechanics and doing your job (whatever your role is) is the bare minimum and it is expected when you queue for a challenge mode.
Stop being so lenient with those lazy idiots.
NBA pro won’t come to my basketball court but randoms will not be able enter an NBA court and start playing with the pros either, which is what is currently happening because filtering people is nearly impossible because certain indie company allows boosting.
And this is why I stopped caring about the social aspect of the game long ago, I can’t be arsed with people who don’t even try.

Its not just that. Its broken and it doesn’t show you the right icon for the spell that is being fired. Overall I fully agree that its contraproductive as a learning tool but thats what Blizzard claimed and what some people here believe.
One thing doesn’t exclude the other.
Yes, it allows me to focus more on the mechanics and I will need it since I didn’t try the new Manaforge LFR.
Also it’s a lot better to be able to queue in 3 different roles as a multi spec character than just one (Paladins for example can queue as Tank/Healers/DPS).
For example I wanted to queue as Shadow Priest alongside Holy, but learning the spec wasn’t something I had time for. Since OBR was implemented I managed to play a few times and it was fun.
Btw: Good Luck trying to play a Healer with OBR some situations require a direct imput like the Priest spell that pulls the player towards the Priest (useful for when the player is standing on fire 
). Or playing a Tank when OBR keeps depleting your resources doing dmg and you need those resources for mitigation (rage for warriors for example). I’ve tried it and it was bad.
One tool is given by Blizzard directly. And it doesn’t affect high end game which is where the best rewards from the game come (I think OBR has a CD which makes it inferior to a player that mastered his rotation).
The other addons you get from 3rd party websites and I don’t trust them.
Cheers.
To me it’s just an option that makes the game more relaxed to play.
And I love it for that.
But of course; I’m not someone who’s going to step into M+ or any raid beyond LFR.
I get that certain content demands more of players, but to want to identify and out OBR players as ‘problematic’ or ‘unwanted’ in some way is just not okay imo.
If someone really doesn’t want to play with certain types of players, they should play with people they know and trust.

And there we have it. Didn’t take you long to join the “muhrrrrr OBR users are just stupid… Hur hur hur hur!!! Me awesome big brain!!” club did it?
Doesn’t take you people long to show how toxic and childish you are.

But the question still remains.
If you people who all hate OBR so much, why are you playing with people who use it?
Dont you have at least 5 friends who dont?
Surely you could all bunch up together and play with each other saving you from the horror of people who do?
I can see at least 5 in here. You’re all pros.
SURELY at least one of you could go tank and healer. Im sure you’d be smashing 20’s on no time.

Because we can’t tell if someone is using it until after they start using it and its a WA.

The other two specs indeed don’t work that well but unholy is actually pretty good. Also in retail. Of course you need to play the unmanaged cooldowns and defensives youself (and the grip and the interrupts if you are playing M+ in retail as this is where DK really shines).
Unfortunately the SBA insists on managing Unholy Assault which prevents the combination from being truely great as you cannot properly align your major cooldowns. I hope this might change in Midnight, i.e. they will allow some degree of customization of the SBA and that they are doing away with those damage windows which suck anyhow.

Ye ok but my keystone is already depleted.
Sorry that I dont want to waste my time with players that dont play to the average standard of a +17. Miss me with the OBR 
Guess I hit a nerve here.

Mmmmh… I think that requires ‘a functioning brain’, as one of them said. 
Cant tell if you people are mad that people use it or mad you won’t be able to tell when people are using it in midnight.
Curious what all yalls average keystone will be once they nuke all your “unoffical assistance” from existence.
You can tell that they are using it by the dmg meter and them not using utilities. The WA is just a confirmation.
Still high enough.
That’s a bad take.
Hardly anyone plays perfect, so looking at damage isn’t a proper metric.
Also: Not using utilities has nothing to do with OBR. I use OBR, but my bar isn’t empty. I have various things on there; interrupts, defensive cooldowns, heals, CC, CC breaking stuff, etc.
You’re assuming every OBR user is an inherently bad player, but that’s just not true.
How is it a bad take? I can see how these people perform and the WA just confirms what I am already seeing.
?Jesus Christ please stop. We are talking about OBR players joining high keys. No one freaking cares about you using it for open world or casual content. When you join a key that requires high through put and knowledge of the mechanics OBR is unacceptable. And yes they are bad players for even attempting this stupidity.
Depending on the actual key level, I either agree or disagree with this.
I do think it’s all just way overblown by some people and it’s not anywhere near as bad as some here are claiming.
OP is talking about 13-15s so lets take those. Is it ok for someone to use OBR in a +13?
And how would you know? Are you doing keys? Like this comes out extremely misinformed. Yes it is that bad when you have an OBR in your group. In the best case scenario they are dealing way less DPS than what is expected in that key range. In worst case scenarios you have people not using defs, interrupts and stops. Let me give you an example of just 2 OBR players I have had in my groups. 1 was a hunter that did not use a def when he was getting targeted by the beams of the Lighspawns in Priory forcing our healer to pretty much go OOM just for him and even that was not enough sometimes, that Hunter single handedly cost us the key because he had 10 deaths all on this own. Second example a shaman in Meadery, Tank shares his routh, says we are using invis pots for 1 specific pack so we can skip, tank asks several times if all is clear and does a reverse ready check, all is clear. Run starts Shaman dies to the first swirlie, and then the second, and then the third, by the time we pull the first boss shaman already has 5 deaths. Dies a 6th time on the boss but we do not res him, we getto the pack we need to skip all of us use out invis pots, shaman just stands afk infront of the pack, we are already fighting the next pack, shaman decides to death run them and pull them into to us which lead to a whipe. Both of these people were confirmed to use OBR by the WA. Over these 2 seasons I have encountered many OBR players, none of them were “only using it because they were focusing on mechanics”, because they were not doing mechanics. So yeah, Is there the few people that use it and actually do pretty good mechanic wise, sure why not, probably they exist, have I encountered them - no. So yeah I would really really like to have a way to see and avoid people using this “feature” in high keys. And before anyone starts going through my achievemnts, no I am not doing anything hihg this season.
