The rogue has NO weaknesses, and always has SUPERIORITY over you, even tank DH dies in seconds. I just experienced it frustratingly many times in otherwise nice Brawl that we won (they really stalled it after they got that rogue, though).
The most OP rogue ability is to KEEP YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.
It’s impossible to ‘counter’ a rogue, when they can just KEEP YOU IMMOBILE. It’s like taking your keyboard and mouse away so you can just helplessly watch your HP go down. What kind of a gameplay is this? Who thought this was a good idea?
I hope they will nerf those bástards next patch, because this is just INSANE to let one class dominate everything else SOLELY because they can take your ability to DO anything away until you are either dead or have 5% HP.
Then they can just do it again, and you can’t escape.
Even IF you somehow escape a bit, you will be REALLY slow, and they can’t be ever slowed down. If you manage to be in a position where you can attack a rogue, it will just vanish and heal and come back and take your mouse and keyboard away again.
WHY are they allowed to be this OP? I am a darn tank DH in a brawl, and I can’t get 1 flag, because a rogue comes, keeps me in stun while quickly stabbing me to death. I use the ‘weakening thing’, thinking I can escape now, but it uses the same thing on me, and somehow it is still able to just kill me.
I can’t move, I can’t escape, I can’t heal, I can’t stun the rogue (they never stay stunned, do they?), etc.
WHY is this allowed? Rogue is like 1000 times over any other class, and people say DHs are somehow supposed to be able to do something about them. The ONLY way a DH could do something about a rogue, is IF
- The rogue can’t keep the DH stunned until the rogue stabs it to death
- The rogue can’t counter EVERYTHING a DH can do (try ‘rain from above’ on rogue, has it EVER worked? Rogue must have like 20 separate ways to counter that)
- The rogue can’t inflict huge amount of damage on the DH while the DH stays stunned/sappeD/whatever
- The rogue cvan’t slow the DH while the DH can’t slow the rogue
In these BG situations, a rogue will always kill a DH in a couple of seconds, and DH can’t have enough time to do more than maybe one jump, and then it’s dead. Doing anything against rogue is useless, because rogue won’t get any damage, and if it does, it heals.
Notice that I didn’t even MENTION Smoke Bomb (can’t attack rogue, because ‘vision is obscured’), Cloak of Shadows (try ‘rain from above’ when rogue has this up), ‘Evasion’, etc. etc.
Rogue has too many stuns, it it too fast, it can vanish too much (Spectral Sight is useless, because you can’t re-use it when rogue re-stealths, and rogue is FAR AWAY immediately when you use it, so you can’t reach the rogue before it wears off)
I know the classes probably can’t be balanced, they’re too com,pliated. But for the love of common sense, why allow 1 class to dominate others while pretending it’s not happening?
At least let’s talk honestly about this enormous elephant in the room, and admit they’re the most OP thing that ever unfairly existed in any game, that can traumatize any DH beyond reason.
I was attacked by two druids in the next brawl, and it was a PARADISE-PICNIC compared to the trauma the dámn rogue caused in the previous one. Any 1 player shouldn’t be able to take away ability to do anything, and any 1 player should definitely not be able to kill a tank DH in a few seconds without the tank DH being able to do anything.
AT LEAST give tank DH back the ability to ESCAPE something - back in the day, it could sometimes even escape a rogue!
But not anymore… so NERF those rogues already, regardless if some dev’s son plays one, PLEASE, and create more equality, fairness and balance in the world by doing this one simple thing.
PLEASE! I don’t like to be traumatized every time I play this game, dagnabit!
