Hey guys, just thought id right my thoughts on the state of pvp in BFA. I have achieved r1 so i hope that gives some validity to my statements that i will provide.
The skillcap of pvp is pretty much non existant!
I say this because
-
The game is now more about comp than the player. Their is a reason most players have a negative / medium win loss and this is because the game is like a lottery. You queue your comp and pray it does well vs the enemy comp. If it dosent do well, your chances are extremely low. As opposed to in past expansions where you could win vs strong opponents by just playing well. Ofcourse comps should give some sort of advantage over other comps, ie counters, but what we are seeing is: If your not playing FoTM (strongest comp) you might aswell not queue. It is extremely hard to push without a good comp thats not tier 1. And if you queue anything below the tier 1 comps, you need to pray you dont face tier 1 comps, because your chances of winning are super slim.

No one is enjoying pvp in BFA (hardcore players)
I have not spoke to anyone who before BFA had r1 and said they enjoy the game. Everyone is saying how bad pvp is. No i wont name names, but i hope you take my word for it. Their is nothing more degrading than seeing the game you loved so much turn into such a noob fiesta. Im sure some people will love this expansion; you got your first glad! But take a step back and think where you were before this awful expansion, and how maybe BFA has carried you.Or the latter, maybe you just improved. -
Everyones ego has grown
Handing out glad achievements like candy was a awful idea, majority of people now have huge egos about themselves, when in reality they arent even that good. They played FoTM on main and got high, gg dude, your insane. Even if you were x400 time blizzcon winner, you shouldnt have a ego, being humble costs nothing and causes nothing negative. -
The difference between High PVP and Low PVP is small.
Likewise i said earlier on this post, your comp is way more important than you as a player. Back in other expansions any 2k player could do a cc chain, but did they know when to kick and what to kick, did they know how to live goes by using cds in advance before stuns, could they deny enemy set ups. did they know what targets to hit and when? Ofcourse not, because if they did they would be higher. In BFA your pre blur or pre karma or swapping correctly or doing xyz means nothing. The scale of damage is so high in BFA that its super hard to live with your cds vs 2 FoTM comps. Blizzard added greater pyro in the game so that all the kiddos that click spells can do all your hp by pressing one button, its insane spells like this exist.
Before anyone tells me: “Why dont you quit?”
I have played this game for 10years. I dont want to quit because i have friends on this game i have known since i was a kid. WoW is the only mmo thats somehow worth playing, because their isnt any other MMOs that are this big. You cant just leave a community you have known for years, sure with time, but i just pray that the game gets better.
I hope blizzard reads this and takes notes. No high players enjoy BFA, the only players enjoying it are bad players getting their ego boosted by no brain pvp.
