I wouldnt consider making AotC bad players. “Approximately 5-7% of active World of Warcraft subscribers achieve the “Ahead of the Curve” achievement each season.”
This means those those players are better then the vast majority of wow players. And among these very (the ones making AotC) players, 75% would be better of using the One Button Assistant.
Imo that is a problem.
My best advice as always in these “What if” situations:
Play with friends, make new friends, play with those of a common goal.
How many of those bought their achievement? Is that being added to percentage calculation?
Asking for a friend.
If a serious player pushing that sort of content and getting the achievement by working for it and they perform worse than the OBR with a higher GCD, then yes, they are doing something wrong.
But it can’t be all too bad because they managed to get the achievement.
Almost all class rotations after df/tww are just beyond rtarded and unplayable, no one asked 10-15 button rotations while you have to track 5 dots 5 procs and 5 cds with WA
They could just bring back mop/wod/legion class design instead of making 1 button helper, no one asked dumb class tree and shtton of dumb abilities again
Anyway I still prefer 1 button than playing a dumb piano and installing gorrillion weak auras just to play my spec
Yeah blame those combat addons. Blizzard had to make it more and more complicated over the years because addons made it too easy.
That’s why they are trying to combat them now.
My guess would be that ther majority of them did not. Another guess I have is that they are gonna be forced to either remove it completely or heavily change it. Theres to many potential problems involved with it as it is now imo. Thats what I personally think and thats what I personally hope.
So at the end of the day it’s yet again a guessing game with absolutely zero factual evidence from neither of you claiming OBR is too strong.
Who would’ve guessed that 
I don’t see it as a guessing game. I personally believe that it would be reasonable to believe that the majority does not buy their achievement.
Just as, if so, this majority is not negatively affected by the OBR at all, as they managed to get their achievement without any issues.
The source is Wowhead:
“Wowheads report are based on their extensive testing. And all of these numbers are compared to DPS sims.”
This list is quite different from the other list that was posted on WoWhead, where Destro was by far the best
What do you mean sin rogue is fun to play, it’s a 20 button opener sequence you can learn to perfect your DPS on a road boss in m+ it’s way easier since you don’t put your full combo into 1 mob
I like sin as it is, the target swap is a bit rough I give you that
Only 20? What are we supposed to do with the rest of our keyboards and mice? C’mon Blizz! Give us at least a BIT to do while facerolling M+
He is well known for his click bait titles has been for years.
Never trust everything that Bellular puts out on YouTube. He is very well known for putting out a boat load of clickbait videos.
He’ll title a video “confirmed murloc race!” and then the video will talk about how a developer once said 20 years ago, that they’d like murlocs to be a playable race. He’ll then talk about his VPN sponsor and then talk about how the game lore has made his hairline creep back even further!
I think that’s a testament to the world being too easy.
As in, where can people practice, outside of target dummies?
Classic 1on1 (especially 1on2, 1on3) was slow enough that you had to practice all your skills, and think about talents. Consequently, most people are good enough.
In contrast, having played a few classes recently, all of them were using 2-3 buttons to kill. Granted, I built them passively due to just visiting them, but still. (On the up, I could emulate classic mage by only using Frostbolt. Except it requires about half as many casts to takedown.)
The few dungeons I did recently were rushfest, with no room to execute any sense of a rotation.
GSE with my DH does a lot more DPS than the OBA, and that’s been around for years.
Just tried it in a t11 electric Delve on my Ret main and it’s garbage. If it really is better than 75% of players, it’s because gameplay is too complicated for most people. As someone who likes lots of buttons and likes to use them situationally rather than a pure DPS number go up while I stand there and whack a single target basis, I’d rather have Jo Blogs out dpsing me against a target dummy with a single click button than have a simpler to play game.
I told you my opinion. I would change wow to have 10-20 very impactful abilities per spec that have a lot of nuance and skill expression/ceiling, but also low skill floor to get easily into the game.
I think Blizzard’s current leadership lacks common sense in that regard. Bobby Kotick was way smarter with his gameplay ideas. Right now Blizzard’s leadership just reacts to what players want. Blizzard is like a mother asking her kid what it wants to eat, instead of just cooking vegetables and lean protein source. There is no surprise, that players are always asking for the lowest friction, i.e. the gameplay-version of Chicken Nuggets, until they get metaphorically fat, spoiled, and obese.
most people who have a basic understanding of their class can beat the one button rotation pretty easy tbh, if you’re worried then watch/read some guides, be enchanted, slap some dummies until your basic rotation is ingrained into your fingers and get into the top 25% (which sounds like a lot of work but in reality takes maybe an hour)
