Worst state the game has ever been in

I know it’s pre patch but I’ve played since Vanilla and this is the worst we’ve ever had. It’s actually impossible to play the game in a fair way, we should all get our months game time back IMO.

Unless you want to roll monk, dh or enhance them you’ve really got no point in playing arena. My healer got slaughtered after 30 seconds in every game (not a skill issue he is 2.2k xp)

That is not actually high. It still can easily be a skill issue.

Anyways, who would have thought that throwing out the expansion like this would cause everything to turn to garbage. :man_shrugging:

A skill issue when classes can 1 shot? Why do you nerds have to come in and try to protect blizzard from this mess??

Where am i protecting blizzard? Why you nerds always have to pretend someone is protecting blizzard just because they countered something you said?

And how the hell is 2.2 low?? He’s currently getting 1 shotted at 1500

because depending on the season the highest rating may have been anywhere between 2,8 and 3,6 so no, 2,2 isn’t really high

which is not supposed to be a rating flame but rather an indication that a 2,2 exp healer will do a lot of mistakes

edit: and btw from what I noticed number one reason for healers to die in lfg is their positioning

I agree 1 shots are not fun. BUT, Its prepatch, nobody cares …

nobody should care, but a lot do for some reason. new talent system with old covenant system and level 60 instead of 70 should speak for itself that things will go haywire

They should have disabled all covenant and legendary stuff for the pre Patch…

I’ve not been one shot by anything in pre-patch. It’s rather miraculous what can happen when you press buttons in response to other buttons :open_mouth:

This. And the wierd stuff is that it WAS disabled on PTR!! Im guessing someone just forgot to change it or w/e. And not being able to upgrade on solo rating is also a bug since they said we would be able to do it.

And hovering over pvp stats and seeing:
Games won: 11
Games won: 15

is a clear indicator that

  1. They gave absolutely NOTHING about pvp, its existance or balance when it came to prepatch and expansion launch. Its all about slaying the dragon.
  2. This is one of the most rushed prepatches in the history of wow.

But if there is nothing to respond to? Ive won alot of games in solo shuffle as enhance simply by targeting the healer and pressing lightning bolt (since if loaded up PW 10 seconds earlier on a dps in the team) and doing a random 110-120k crit.

Its one thing with monk because you know its coming.

Will you care in when DF hits?
because beta currently is exactly the same as prepatch.
Monk, Enhance, Ele and several other things are broken and delete you instantly

prepare for lots of cheese builds that 100% will go undetected live

partially. Yes you see it, but the one shot is on 45s cd or something like that. So even if you survive the first, you will 100% die in the second go.
WW just need to target a class that has only 1 def cd. e.g. shaman

You know what saved my healer countless times yesterday against ww? LASSO BABY!!!

Heavy copium

How is it copium if im the one doing the oneshotting?

If you’re ‘one shotting’ with 0 modifiers with max or equal gear against other people with max or equal gear then something is bugged. Or, you’re doing it against people with much less gear than you, which makes the point voidable.

I have not been one shot a single time, I wonder why.

Every one shot is a bad design, even if you can only deny it by pre using abilities. It should never be like this, pressing in advance to survive is bad for the game. Counter reaction should be enough to survive.

All one shots can be countered. You just need to plan ahead. It depends on many factors / talent choices.
Most classes have an obvious ‘‘one shot’’ like the convoke druids , sub rogues etc. Even my demon hunter ‘‘burst’’ can be denied and if they get a proper stun on me , I can go cry in a corner. I used to play with one shot builds on different classes, after 1500+ they stopped working. The simplest way is to not fight during their big dmg/ burst windows.
I always complained about ww monk damage , but after rolling a monk and seeing how the bread and butter is applied, I had no problem surviving their ‘‘one shot’’
