Yes and no. Im having a blast. A Pyroblast! when ever I fight with people that have 10K healt like me. When enemy has 20K health I feel like I want to bash someone’s skull in for real.
Fun only when they start to care about BGS instead of pillar vs pillar simulator
Don’t you diss pillar play!
I’ll have you know I did this awesome thing the other day.
This guy was trying to cast a spell on me.
But then I went behind a pillar. So he couldn’t.
It was just the best.
I think there’s a logic mistake here - you simply said the same thing twice.
What you probably meant to say or imply, might be something like: “Gotta have gear to perform, gotta perform to get gear”, right?
I wish you could get gear from BGs, but when we can win, it can be fun. When we’re pre-destined to be STOMPED (most times), it’s a miserable experience and I am certainly not having fun.
Interesting sidenote: We got LM in AB, and then everyone left, I was pondering where I should go from there, then suddenly 5 of horde attacked, I typed the inc call and got the heck outta there, then angrily asked, 'Did you seriously just leave me alone in LM?" (something people shouldn’t do, is to leave only one guard at a base like LM), the answer from our ineffective healer was:
“l2p”
I mean, can you get more toxic and ridiculous? It’s my ‘learn to play’ problem when our team leaves me alone and 5 russian horde attack LM? I did call inc and I even survived the situation, so it was definitely not a ‘l2p’ situation, it was more like ‘why would our team leave only 1 guard at LM’ ← but HOW, with WHAT logic does a toxic shaman turn this into MY “L2P” problem? Like, what would even the most skilled player’s skill have to do with the whole team playing badly and leaving me there alone? How can anyone turn a ‘bad teamplay’ into one player’s ‘learn to play’ problem?
The toxic mind’s illogical logic boggles the normal mind… if anyone can explain this to me, I’d like to hear theories as to how they came to that conclusion.
MY theory is that toxic people just want to insult, without caring about whether it makes sense or not, they just want to vomit these hostile clichés into everyone’s face. So anyone says basically ANYTHING in chat, they are ready to type “l2p” and “noob” and all those stupid, juvenile clichés, regardless of what’s actually happening.
It’s like they don’t have a brain, they just have an insulting machine instead.
Another interesting sidenote; on that very BG, I use a glider to escape a stalking warlock - on landing, the game OF COURSE disconnects me, because this bug is only friggin’ YEARS old, and they still haven’t fixed it (unbelievable that in 2020, you still get disconnected just from landing on a glider).
I come back to the game, BG is over, I have ‘deserter debuff’.
What a fair game, first they put us into an unwinnable situation, then a toxic git makes no sense but wants to insult anyway, then the game disconnects me and slaps a deserter debuff, all the while I am completely innocent!
What else could go wrong…
They need to hotfix so that we can buy Conquest with Honor. Like we could in every prepatch era before Legion. Too much to ask?
Accountability, perspective, empathy, reasoning and situational awareness is not something one can expect in a random BG, at all.
You will get left behind by teammates. You will get nuked by a big bunch of Horde near the flag while your team splits up to try 1v1ing people on the road.
You will be ignored by your healer because they queued with their AFK warrior friend and refuse to heal anyone else.
And it’s all going to be your fault.
Suggest a strategy, point out an event happening, question someone’s decision, and they will inform you of how bad you are, and how they are carrying this BG with their extreme skill, and if you’re losing, it’s because YOU, not they, are being an utter noob.
There is a disproportionate amount of people with a combination of extremely huge and fragile egos, poor social intelligence and lacking gameplay skills to be found in this kind of content. Or maybe they’re just extra visible, I sorta hope this is the case.
This happens to me every single time I dismount on my hunter and try to harpoon or disengage mid-air. Very poor execution by Blizz.
I am not sure if it is worth it, though, BG gameplay is exceptionally bad as it is. Even with gear. Currently, it is impossible to tell a good player from a bad one. Things die so quickly that you can barely even react when you get attacked.
BG PvP is tailored towards braindead morons, and it shows.
WoW used to be like that until… MoP… or so. It was always awesome (or painful!) to see an exceptionally SKILLED (=not GEARED) player racking up kills while outplaying everybody. That is no longer possible.
