im just screwing around w outlaw talents. took all the BF ones. 36k flurry hit for a kill love to see it

jolly sierra
#

can be funny but if is a wizard match as expected for s2

#

will hurt to try to cleave

spring bough
#

no greenskin, 1/2 CTO, and 2/2 BF talents and 4-2 not too shabby but still not even cracking top damage lol

jolly sierra
#

F

shut viper
#

Shiv will be 25% in 10.1?

spring bough
#

currently in a game with 2 preso healers and every round one of them dies lol

jolly sierra
#

forgot how many nerfs it had so i lost the exact amount

hollow sundial
#

LOL true

#

buff bm hunter btw

lavish abyss
#

anybody know why i would be getting a 2 embellishment error when i try to put on indemnity footwraps? i have on lariat and cowl, taking off the food embelli when i try to put it on

tribal badger
#

food embelli isnt part of the embelli limit

#

u can only have 2 dps embellishments on

#

indeminity counts

#

cowl and neck are

lavish abyss
#

ah, i thought it was lariat that didnt count, but its the food

#

thanks

#

cowl prob the better drop?

jolly sierra
#

yeah drop the cowl

shut viper
jolly sierra
#

wasn't sharpen a 50%?

tribal badger
#

sharpen is 50% ya

surreal barn
#

Sharpen in a long match meta will be scary af

tribal badger
#

ya i mean warrior has burst and just overall pressure

#

high damage + best MS in the game

#

seems like a good meta for it

surreal barn
#

Warrs should have to choose between sharpen and ignore pain lol

tribal badger
#

oh did they remember to nerf impending victory or did warriors get tankier next patch also

shut viper
#

As far as I remember

tribal badger
#

uh

#

i dont believe thats the case?

#

says 50%

#

on sharpen tooltip

#

it has no pvp mods (why would it have a pvp mod its a pvp talent?)

shut viper
#

I might be wrong, but I remember warrior from my rbg team was crying about sharpen being nerfed

tribal badger
#

maybe in a different expac

#

doesnt look nerfedf rn

shut viper
#

Nah, literally 2 months ago, but maybe he misunderstood something or so

#

I believed him and didn’t check myself 😂🤦‍♂️

jolly sierra
#

maybe he read bad

#

cuz i was using my alt yesterday and was a 50%

tribal badger
#

ya idk

#

i dont see any sharpen blade nerfs

#

and it would be weird for it to have a hidden pvp mod considering its a pvp talent

#

feels like they would just change the talent tooltip

shut viper
#

I remember when he was crying I told him what can assa say, shiv 30% and wound is 24-25%

jolly sierra
#

like w hemo

tribal badger
#

maybe base MS got nerfed?

#

base MS is only 25% now

#

think it used to be more

jolly sierra
#

yeah, perhaps

shut viper
#

Or maybe he misunderstood something, trusted wrong streamer 😂

jolly sierra
#

yep

tribal badger
#

ya idk i remember some warrior tankiness nerfs early in the season but like

#

arms is a bit of a meme becaue its been S tier entire season

#

but never "broken"

shut viper
#

No cap, I feel like going smoke, disarm/manuv and cloak wall might be better play than going for shiv

tribal badger
#

just very good, and hasnt seen basically any nerfs

#

its been sitting as like 10% of the entire soloq ladder the whole season

#

ok disc 1800 grind today 👏

#

get my warrior to 2200 and take a break from these 30m queues

shut viper
tribal badger
#

well when i look at broken things i think like

#

feral early, dk tankiness early, ret paladin post rework

#

arms is like, just under the power level of those specs pre nerf

#

which is why it hasnt been nerfed all season

#

just sitting pretty being an extremely strong spec

#

the only nerfs it really saw was the big spear nerf

#

and every warrior just immediatly swapped bleed build

#

and started doing the same damage again

shut viper
#

Dh pre nerfs too, yeah not that kind of level, but still one shot macro for the win

tribal badger
#

it was funny

shut viper
#

The zug zug specs

#

Or press W for the win

tribal badger
#

warrior utility is a lot of fun to use at least

shut viper
#

Ngl id rather get outplayed by rmp than die to any broken combination of feral, dk, dh, ret, war

tribal badger
#

doesnt feel like i need 7 targettarget macros like my ret

#

xd

shut viper
#

Even when you cc their cds, they still have enough uptime on it to have enough pressure to at least force few defensives or if played well killed through defensives

shut viper
frozen falcon
#

how as a rogue do you counter alter time, if possible. normally I play hunter so i can just dispel it.

tribal badger
#

wait for it to end

#

or do so much damage they r forced to reactivate it early

quaint cedar
#

just embrace the zug life

#

what exactly is that build btw? you'd have to give up more than just greenskin to get the two BF talents + 1/2 CTO

jolly sierra
#

but tbh is really alter time the most dangerous thing from mage?

spring bough
#

went over to my unholy DK. doing 30k dps 2nd after that is doing 18k lol

tribal badger
#

i started playing rend on thunderclap in same games where they stack and lord the damage feels so good

#

@jolly sierra

#

i hadnt been playing it before

#

rend second highest damage doing 50k dps lul

ruby drift
#

But idk about most dangerous

jolly sierra
tribal badger
#

its very nice esp if u know ur gunna get kited

jolly sierra
#

bad manners

ruby drift
#

Tbh two blocks that full heal is much worse to worry about

tribal badger
#

lets u keep some pressure up

#

hilarious how this rando bleed talent does as much damage as sin bleeds

#

been running it anytime i dont need wrecking/shattering or vs heavy disarm teams

#

cause u can thunder clap when disarmed

ruby drift
#

Somehow feral Druid is more of a sin rogue then sin rogue

tribal badger
#

keep rend up on the entire team

ruby drift
#

Skull splitter needs to get deleted from the game

tribal badger
#

havent tried splitter build yet tbh sounds decent vs teams that kite out alot for the real big bleed burst

#

id need to set it up

ruby drift
#

Dk how warrior of all classes gets a bleed squish of that magnitude

#

Skull splitter is huge . Honestly very worth

#

Exsanguinate =3m

#

Skull splitter 21s

vocal surge
#

about 30% of someone's HP

#

Especially if you stack the bleeds

#

Fresh Rend and Deep Wounds w. Dragon Roar

#

Skullsplitter

#

thinking about dropping the 30s CD reduction on Dragon Roar for something else

jolly sierra
#

i know is good, but i need to get used by myself like w assa

#

what about making WA w garrote icon to get used? lol

vocal surge
#

lol

jolly sierra
#

dunno what to chose tbh

#

maybe commanding shout talent to raise more HP

#

for 5%

#

so u have 20%+ hp commanding shout every round

vocal surge
#

maybe

spring bough
#

this unholy DK stuff is a hell of a lot of fun. pets doing top damage lol. just going insane on damage

ruby drift
#

Dk stonks going up in hopes it will bring lock stonks down lol

spring bough
#

i got to 1500 in under a day gonna keep going just hit a 6-0 lol

jolly sierra
#

dk is getting stealth buffs like assa in end s1

#

will be high tiered again tho

tribal badger
#

"wheres our healing buffs" ~ dks on the forums

#

they didnt receive healing nerfs

#

i dont think they realize that means they got buffed

#

any % hp heal that didnt get nerfed got buffed by the stamina change

spring bough
#

i literally just stand in the middle of the map and smash buttons. if im low death strike and its like instant full HP

tribal badger
#

people r silly

spring bough
#

it feels so ridic

#

gargoyle does such insane damage lol

tribal badger
#

ya unholys fun

#

i was torn between uh and arms for my push

spring bough
#

i think ima just que unholy rest of my day and leave my rogue at 2100 lol

#

at this rate DK hitting 2400 before the rogue is today

#

still cant decide between abom limb and soul reaper. i know the utility of abom but with soul its such a huge ST dps increase lol

tribal badger
#

cant soul be dispelled

#

plus having them end up under the hp threshold as it ends is pretty hard to pull off

#

def dont think soul reapers that good in pvp

spring bough
#

that answers that lol

halcyon timber
spring bough
#

that DK daamage is popping off

lone goblet
#

Finally got to 1800 today for the transmog set. It actually only took about 20 SS games. Sadly that represents over 6 hours in queue with these awful times. 😮‍💨

#

Every game had a ret paladin.

jolly sierra
#

gratz

#

hope i can have too much rets like u w my alt warr to spam shatt throws

#

just got rangeds

lone goblet
#

Dude I celebrated every time I saw a ranged lol

#

Most of the time it was ret, arms, and then a wildcard

#

The 4 melee games were the worst

ruby drift
#

I mostly play heals but my dps alts have always been rogue/mage/hunter

#

Fuck I applaud yall for putting up with the dps queues

#

Im lucky to do 2-4 ss games as a dps every week

#

Just can't stand the queues but wanna play my alts so bad 😦

jolly sierra
#

get farming professions and gather while u wait

tribal badger
#

😴

#

give me queues plis

#

i beg of you game

#

3 good lobbies away from being done with elite appearences for the season

fringe ether
#

about to pvp for the first time

#

what spec should i be playing in rbg

minor cape
#

my friend who is 2100 in rbg told me about it once, he said people play sub in maps with capture the flag

#

and where there is mostly teamfights they switch to assas

#

but i rarely rbg and only on sub, so cant tell for sure

ruby drift
#

but sub/sin

graceful ravine
#

rbgs is all about who can bring the most ret pallies

pale storm
#

Yeah, usually sub to sit bases since you have a lot to stop people trying to cap and to ninja in sun toolkit. In flag maps or team fight maps if you have 2 rogues you can run a sub and an assa, assa is big dam in team fights, AoE Shiv, the AoE garrotte/rupture, pretty wild.

graceful ravine
#

Are they reducing flag cap timer now that sap is 5 seconds

#

Otherwise rip rogues in rbgs

surreal barn
#

Doubt it

chrome schooner
#

Sap will be 6s

graceful ravine
#

is that enough to cap the flag?

wanton breach
#

holy crap, outlaw feels so garbage in solo shuffle

#

i deal negative damage

jolly sierra
#

wear plates

#

and use heavier weapons

wanton breach
#

I'm bored of playing ret or warrior

atomic loom
fading blade
#

so basically you wont be able to ninja cap really

#

most likely stuck base sitting forever

#

unless youre gonna 2man cap

graceful ravine
#

ya that’s not really enough time and most skilled rbgers not gonna sit on the cap for you to sap

jolly sierra
#

it can be possible w two persons tho

#

maybe a drood and a rog or 2 rogs, but no way with just 1

#

so maybe our role will only defending

surreal barn
#

Two is how it will go down. Should make shroud of concealment avail in rbgs though

#

Would be a wild ride taking the whole team to a base lol

leaden schooner
#

In Solo Shuffle, is there a way to see my arena ally's target? Maybe if I set them to focus? I'm using Gladius if that helps.

jolly sierra
#

toptarget addon

jolly sierra
#

fine i got 60 cr in my only day match

#

before going to sleep

spring bough
#

sin rogue and outlaw rogue at 2200 beating a DH war dps team is an awesome feeling lol

magic arch
#

Anyone find a way to burst as outlaw? Xd

spring bough
#

press buttons harder lol

#

the more you spam ambush the more you can squeak some out from dance

magic arch
#

Xd

#

Aight ty

spring bough
#

i think the max ive got off subterfuge is three. even spam ambush at max cps to get more in for those double taps lol

#

i also macro'd the ferocity trinket to shadow dance since they are both on a minute CD

magic arch
#

Aight

#

Gonna try solo tonight

#

Haven’t played since sl so ye

#

Changes are cool just seems a little weak

spring bough
#

its rough without atleast 1/2 CTO it feels like. RTB buffs are so big for OL and having more just helps all it can. i keep going back and forth with greenskin too. feel like i have a lil more "burst" with it

magic arch
#

Ye I noticed that too

#

The middle tree could help

#

And the dispatch talent could have been good

#

But most I got was 44kish dispatch

#

And ambush hits for that so ye

spring bough
#

i was also trying loaded dice over float like a butterfly but found having evasion up more often is a hell of a lot better

magic arch
#

Ye

#

Ill test stuff since its end of season anyways

lone goblet
#

So now that I've hit my rating goal for the season I was thinking why not farm for the mount.

#

Immediately I realize that lost matches don't give credit for the season mount (or saddles)

#

Which brings up the idea, wouldnt it be better to lower my rating to a point where I can guarantee I won't lose any matches?

#

going 3-3 gives credit and typically doesnt increase rating

#

So tank down to 1200 and then make sure to 3-3 every round.

#

Is there a flaw to this thinking?

#

and if not... who the hell designed this system.

#

Seems bad

jolly sierra
#

your best bet is to try with another specs at 0 cr

lone goblet
#

Yeah I was going to do it on a healer probably to skip the queue

#

but the logic remains the same.

#

always go 3-3, never try to win 4

#

because that will just make it harder to go 3-3 later

jolly sierra
#

nah

#

i said

#

try going outlaw at fresh cr for shuffle

lone goblet
#

They really should give credit for losses. At least half credit

#

So as not to incentivize people to lose games.

jolly sierra
#

nah, better just try to play as usual

lone goblet
#

I don't like when systems like this are designed, and the first thing i think is "wouldnt it be better to lose games for this goal?"

jolly sierra
#

then if u lose then fine you lost the cr and will be easier

lone goblet
#

Not at all, playing as usual you will win 1/2 of your games (once your get to true MMR)

jolly sierra
#

or 3 casually as usual, then u become hardstuck w progress

lone goblet
#

But I want credit for 100% of my games

#

so I want to play at a CR way below my true

jolly sierra
#

you mentality is to intentionally drop because you feel unable to do that

#

that can be an offense for a ban i you got catched

#

if you try to drop rounds in the way of leaving then you eat a stackable deserter

lone goblet
#

Yeah and you give a good point, start over fresh so I don't have to ever drop.

#

but can it be bannable if I just stop trying to climb? lol

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

cuz u are sabotaging ur comps

#

they don't wanna lose like you to become hardstuck for mount progress

#

think in that way

#

can understand your idea, but can't agree with your execution

#

imo u should keep going and then drop cr naturally or keep raising without thinking in progress

#

then u can get the mount without noticing

#

the other thing you can do is if you have an alt is try to get the progress with that

#

cuz the progress is account wide, i recalled getting a saddle with my fresh warrior after few rankeds

jolly sierra
#

HAHAHAHAHAHA

hasty holly
#

i don’t envy shadow priest for this next season

#

they stripped so many instant casts idk how it’s going to function in arena play at all

wary spire
#

The rework sounds like the opposite of ret's

hasty holly
#

the class fantasy of living in the void gutters of pvp meta

wary spire
#

And sub's is being subpar?

hasty holly
#

and outlaw is being outlawed from the meta

#

and assassination’s is being ass

#

outlaw was strong during sl so now it has to be weak ad infinitum

#

sadge

sharp sierra
#

new assassination rouge. how is pvp burst?

final vessel
#

Dispellable

wanton breach
#

won't you just be able to just cloak it off with the new talent as well in addition to dwarf/evoker/survival/bop/bubble/block dispell? OMEGAKEKW

sharp sierra
#

Got tired of Shadow Priest and wanted to try rouge for pvp

shut viper
sharp sierra
#

Just wanted to know if assassination was worth it before I put out money to gear up

shut viper
#

As assa you have a meme cooldown, this cooldown is kind of mindgames. You press it, and it can be dispelled, dwarfed. So either you press is and hope they choke and trinket with no dispel available, or you hold and hope they choke by not pressing anything just in case to have it available for your vendetta

#

Even in awc games there were some matchups where assa rouge haven’t press vendetta the whole game

#

But if they choke, catch them with no dispel, it’s super deadly and most likely kill

sharp sierra
#

Thank you

long shore
#

hey guys, does deathmark wound poison effect stack on the same target? which means 48% healing reduction with DM active?

shut viper
#

Also shiv override wound poison

long shore
#

ahhh okay thanks for clarifying!

#

i thought 48% healingh reduction for 16seconds is too OP

shut viper
#

I mean sharpen is 50 for 12sec? But yeah it was broken

#

Also there was a bug when shiv was 35% that it stacked with the doubled wound poison during vendetta

#

So it was 35+24

#

On top of -18% haste

#

But ppl blamed kidney being too op not knowing they die to bugged shiv not kidney itself. So now instead of getting shiv fixed we have shiv fixed and cc nerfed. 🤦‍♂️

spring bough
#

so had bad back to back games lost a decent amount of rating. get into a lobby. healer decides to throw every game and not move. go 3-3 and lose 50 rating LOL

vocal surge
#

Ooof

wanton breach
#

why don't russians have their own pool of players...

#

worst fucking communication (or rather lack thereof) of all players in "europe"

jolly sierra
#

god -50 for a 3-3 is losing a lot OOF

wary spire
#

How can you fail at communication that consists of 50% "go hunt" and 50% shittalk? kekw

#

Ah yeah forgot rbgs exists.

#

Well so did blizz...

minor cape
#

and you cant read them, and then they might also speak russian

#

between eachother

#

and you are prolly sitting there like "wtf did he say"

#

i play on non russian server tho cause they didnt let me name my character the way i wanted for bad language, yet there are constanly people on russian servers named "Cocktits" or smth like that peophammer

jolly sierra
#

u are the second active russian from recent time which decided to talk here

surreal barn
minor cape
#

i remember one guy but he is long time not active

stiff mesa
#

can you test tier set in pvp on the ptr?

jolly sierra
#

you are the only active currently tho

minor cape

#

maybe discord is banned in russia idk

#

not from russia myself

#

im pretty sure it is banned

#

tho

wanton breach
jolly sierra
#

for ukarine tho, corps are punishing a lot

atomic loom
#

I play rogue my buddy plays mage, how do I get him to understand how tough it is for sub/assa right now because he keeps telling me frost is way worse and rogue is fine as I play 3s and struggle to survive for more than 1.5-2 minutes

jolly sierra
#

which spec is him rn?

#

fire? tell him frost burst is a lot longer than fire one and he can fuck melees more compared to the other spec

clever blaze
#

delete your rogue, that should show him besad

atomic loom
#

Sorry yeah he only plays frost

jolly sierra
#

and tell him u are crap cuz u got nerfed a lot recently and didnt compensated ur survivality

#

ah he is fine

#

dont make him change

atomic loom
#

He won’t change, but I keep bringing up how rough it is for rogues currently and he says I’m overreacting but the second I get touched by another class I have to vanish or use my evasion/cloak and then I’m screwed for the next 2 minutes

#

He compared deathmark and my bleeds getting removed to his glacial spike being shadowmelded or kicked lol

jolly sierra
#

show him AWC clips from here with akrololz dying in a leg sweep and another one from a guy dying into an axe toss

#

and tell him that is normal in regular arena

#

cuz ur survivality tools are unchanged alongside ur shitty dmg which is not enough to keep pressure

surreal barn
#

Buy him a rogue boost to know the pain

jolly sierra
atomic loom
#

Yeah he watched those happen live, doesn’t think it’s a rogue issue

#

I think he’s just in the mindset like a lot of people who don’t play rogues that they’re always going to be S tier

long shore
#

Which are the classes that give rogues a hard time usually? Warriors / BM Hunters / Demo locks?

atomic loom
#

Warriors, hunters, demo, rets, Dh are tough for me usually too

wary spire

#

WHERE IS OUR - 90% HEALING FROM HEMO AS COMPENSATION

spring bough
#

they should give us soothing darkness without any pvp reductions. that would be hot

#

and if they never fixed nightstalker not giving us the 8% dmg they should fix that too lol

minor cape
#

and they said they dont want to make it work

jolly sierra
#

they said rog sucks cock and deserves hell

minor cape
#

well nahj is playing assa i think

#

but its pretty bad

#

he is pressing a shit ton of buttons and nothing happens damage wise

lone goblet
#

I just started playing my monk, why do they get cloak of shadows on a lower cooldown that also returns all your debuffs to the person who cast them. what the hell is this.

minor cape
#

they are different classes cmon

lone goblet
#

Maybe it's best just not to play other classes so I don't feel disappointed by what I'm missing on rogue lol

minor cape
#

and cloak is not rogues problem honestly

#

🥹

wary spire
minor cape
#

yes

wary spire
minor cape
#

because they thought sub already did a shit ton of dam in dance

#

or smth

#

so they would have to tweak other shit

#

and they decided its not worth it

wary spire
#

Why not simply change the tooltip then?

#

What the hell

pale storm
#

Give us 2 talent points that actuallly do something

wary spire
#

"Your fat ass eats too much grease as is so the fact that we sold you a bacon sandwich that doesn't have bacon in it is good actually"

This is so fucked up I'm kinda impressed!

do u have the sauce for that neglecting w nightstalker?

oh ya are they fixing nightstalker in 10.1?

i assume so

#

Solo Shuffle as an Outlaw just make me want to sell my pvp gear for the gold. Outlaw had plenty of seasons were he wasn't very good, but never anything as soul crushing as this season

idle root
#

you're always the kill target

#

shit defensives

hidden dome
#

Ye

clever blaze
#

it was happy days until a short while before the ret rework.

hidden dome
#

But also no damage. Rets and Arms often deal 50-60% more damage than me

idle root
#

sub damage is actually dogshit ass

clever blaze
#

after that back to back nerfs plus other specs all getting buffed just totally killed us

hidden dome
#

And Solo Shuffle is just "zug zug" until someone is dead most games

idle root
#

cheap shot bot and that's it

hidden dome
#

I literally need to set up perfect cc or a perfect smoke to get kills

#

a warrior just has to press his buttons really hard

idle root
#

rogue requires more coordinated play, and you cant have that in ss

#

so zug zug wins more often

hidden dome
#

I hate burst metas so much. I love slow metas where good cc and mana management wins. But blizzard hates that

#

And with how next season looks I might just stop playing arena

idle root
#

next season is supposed to be slower

#

but idk i havent seen it yet

hidden dome
#

They nerfed most cc

#

and the trinket change makes it feel even more zug zug than this season

#

All my arena buddies have started playing hardcore classic since they got fed up with retail pvp

#

those guys were grinding arenas almost every day since legion and this season made them play fucking classic pve

#

And every single solo shuffle game I can understand them a bit more

unborn portal
hidden dome
#

Also a fun thing.
It took my 2.6k xp friend more solo shuffle games to get 1.8 with his rogue than it took my 0 xp friend with his DH.

gleaming pawn
#

It could be worse, you could be trying to get 1.8k on a healer

hidden dome
#

At least then I would actually find games and not wait 30 minutes for a game with 2 rets and an arms

#

But yeah, I'm glad I got the elite set on my priest through the bug and never had to play a single arena match with them

idle root
gleaming pawn
#

the amount of morons that run LoS, don't pop defensives, can't dps, can't stop CC, is infuriating. There is a mountain of shit stacked against healers in SS, it's a legitimately awful and unfun game mode and there is significantly more out of your control than when playing as DPS

idle root
#

i got 1800 on disc and rshaman for the mogs, the amount of ppl that chase the enemy behind a pillar and get cc'd while i get cc'd in china and we lose is insane in that rating

lone goblet
#

This is why you play fistweaver. You will be right there chasing behind the pillar with them!

my road with warrior is still positive in the games i can have barely a day

just + difference

tomorrow will try to go forward with my day off

if it stays like this, is safe to say this will be the bfa pvp auto lifesaver trinket 2.0

Does some1 know how/ if solo shuffle rewards change if I faction change?

For example for "normal" pvp u need x wins etc

Fast queues can be fun, but you end up just playing arena nonstop. On dps you can have some chill in the open world while queueing.

wintry dew
#

1 hour chill isn't chill

#

😦

proper stream
#

I got 1800 on rogue today and tell you what - Every lobby had a ret or two lmao I wanted to pull my hair out some games as it was just train the rogue

copper maple
#

I recently remembered people complaining about dps queue times in Overwatch. But they weren't as outrageously long as we have in soloq now. 10 min at best.

wary spire
#

Well, tbh overwatch is a pvp-only game. In wow pvp is treated the same as pet battling.

waxen meteor
#

so many wowhead posts

#

do we have some tuning this week

vale basalt
#

what rating is that elite/legend for solo shuffle?

vale basalt

thanks

#

They will throw a pvp wild card right before 10.1 drops. Which class gets it will be a mystery

surreal barn
exotic dove
#

I didn't have that trinket in BFA and fighting others with it was frustrating to me. I still achieved higher than my rating goals but it made the games unnecessarily longer

minor cape
# untold remnant It will be rogues!

-Stealth removed
-Backstab replaced with Frontstab
-All movement except for backpedal removed during shadow dance
-Cheap shot now has a 10 second cooldown
-Kidney shot is now dispellable
-Blind now shares DR with Kidney Shot and Cheap Shot
-Cold blood now has a 50% chance to be triggered
-All damage increased by 5%
Subtelty:
-Secret technique no longer will work with Cold Blood

We saw rogue underperfoming in terms of damage in pvp, these changes are aimed at increasing rogues damage

how i win 5 rounds and only get 56 pts... stuck at 500 mmr cant upgrade my conquest gear

tribal badger
#

cause ur mmr is similar to the match mmr

agile leaf
#

i just have to grind it out to 1k?

tribal badger
#

yes

#

usually ur mmr is much higher then that rating (idk what most people start at my alts usually start at like 1400 tho)

#

ur rating gain is based on matches won and the difference between mmr and cr, idk all the calculations

#

but the reason u didnt get alot of rating is that

jolly sierra
#

u dropped a lot

#

last time i won like 50 cr with a 3-3 cuz mmr

#

was playing like 100 points ahead

agile leaf
lavish idol
#

Just saw sin rogue do about 5m dmg in opening fight of Kotmogu - how?

jolly sierra
agile leaf
#

oh, i didnt know about that

jolly sierra
#

if you won 56 then is ok, cuz you are now with positive gaining, so next time if you won for example 4 you are likely to win 40-60 CR

#

there are a video w venruki explaining that, even if he is obnoxious af about rogues explains well the logic behind matchmaking score

agile leaf
#

gotcha gotcha will check it out!

#

man, i cant stand that pickaboo youtuber

spring bough
#

They need to rework that whole rating and matchmaking rating system lol

agile leaf
#

idk if i should be saying that, but damn i always gotta turn him down

spring bough
#

Had two bad back to back solos went 1-5 then finally went 3-3 and still lost 50 rating lol. Then went 4-2 yesterday at one point and only got 5 rating

tribal badger
#

iim just waiting for a nice Winstreak to bring me to 2400 on warr

#

who wants to grind out 4/2 3/3 40 rating games

#

when u could just +100 all the way up and be done

spring bough
#

Currently sitting at 2240 after hitting 2345 yesterday. Hoping to get home and rip off a few 4-2s and finally hit that elite

jolly sierra
#

but yeah, is mostly an entertainer, maybe is for that

#

i wanna play my warr again, but im doing crappy dailies

#

i'll finish and queue asap

spring bough
#

I like listening to his commentary as he calls out moves. He just sees everything happening. Don’t understand how he does it lol

tribal badger
#

i dont have long to play today so i'll probably try to finish blasting out 70 on my hunter and send it boxes

#

gotta grind out 2 1800s next week

spring bough
#

Some of the things pika does seems superhuman lol

jolly sierra
#

he literal says everything he is doing in his matches

tribal badger
#

ya i love watching pikas 2s with randoms because he live narrates legit everything hes doing

jolly sierra
#

even when an addon bug warning appears on screen lol

tribal badger
#

its so wild

jolly sierra
#

says something like "addons issue"

tribal badger
#

probably one of my favorite streamers to watch for how to actually play and climb rating

#

just because he always says exactly what hes doing in real time

jolly sierra
#

tbh i've learn a lot with his solo shuffle teaching, cuz matches his playstyle, so is more xp than theory

wary spire
jolly sierra
#

w everything zugzugging

tribal badger
#

tbh nahj didnt used to be like that but ive been watching him some more recently

spring bough
#

The switches he does and the CC is what I aspire to do lmao

tribal badger
#

and he narrates what/why hes doing fairly decently as well

#

during soloq

jolly sierra
#

when he showed a footage from 2k2 w a rog asking for advice rlly learned a lot

spring bough
#

PShero is fun to watch he narrates too

tribal badger
#

yuh i watch pshero early mornings his streams r cozy

jolly sierra
#

was he "BRUH JUST GO TO THEIR HEALER AND KEEP SAP W BLIND AND U WILL GET FREE CR FOR REAL"

#

and was disgustingly true

spring bough
#

Chilling in the kitchen vibing playing wow 😂

jolly sierra
#

cuz they get bored or panic w blind

#

pshero w the blindfold

#

in rated pvp

spring bough
#

It made me feel better about my solo rating when I saw Pshero get smoked in a few rounds after the ret changes

jolly sierra
#

for me was raz reporting here

#

so we know we are not the problem itself

spring bough
#

The real OG was Grimm. Wish he played retail. Dude was a god to me 15 years ago watching his vanilla wow pvp

jolly sierra
#

oof ppl moves on most of time

tribal badger
#

i mean did u guys see that post on worldofpvp reddit taking soloq stats and graphing them

#

and every chart of dps vs win rate, playrate vs winrate etc

#

had ret in the top right (highest win rate, highest damage)

#

and sub at the bottom left

jolly sierra
#

im very dumb checking those 4 axis charts tbh

tribal badger
jolly sierra
#

yeah those ones

tribal badger
#

its only 2 axis

jolly sierra
#

nvm

tribal badger
#

thats just drawing the midpoint

#

to compare specs to the average

jolly sierra
#

yeah also explain it in corners

#

but when it doesn't agh

#

imagine, i have an universitary degree and don't know how to read it most of time lol

tribal badger
#

lulw

jolly sierra
#

so relatable

tribal badger
#

ret rework was a gud one guys

jolly sierra
#

yeah, even after nerfs

#

that means was solid

spring bough
#

Outlaw is an outlier let’s go baby minimal damage and more wins 😂

#

I’m gonna send those graphs to people when they talk smack about outlaw lol

jolly sierra
#

sure lol

spring bough
#

Our damage might be crap but we win just over 50% of the time 😂

jolly sierra
#

happened me w assa sometimes

#

just won for ccs rather for dmg

magic mason
#

Hi ! What is your preference in spe for solo shuffle & 2v2 ? Thank 🙂

pale storm
agile leaf
#

see this sucks

spring bough
#

MMR was higher than the average that’s where it gets you. Prob had to win 4 on that to get a little more than even

pale storm
#

your mmr is above the average and you went 2-4 so you lose rating

#

lol wtf 3 rogues at 600mmr, what is going on down there

jolly sierra
#

too much rets and demos tho

agile leaf
#

is there a cap on conquest?

jolly sierra
#

nope

waxen meteor
#

pff i am going to reach lv60 before unlocking even 1 race

lyric onyx
#

1500-1700 CR in SS on a healer is officially hell

jolly sierra
#

and as dps, ppl will say something as target and then follow anything

#

then u lose the round

#

think i'll just follow toptarget now

#

don't care about ppl targeting anymore

spring bough
#

I don’t listen to anyone’s calls since I got top target. I just hit whatever the other DPS is on. And look for healer peels if possible

#

Had some dude last night both rounds “we are going for the ret” and then would go 100% other DPS and no one else every time

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

shit happens\

#

fuck them

spring bough
#

The most frustrating is when you swap mist after bubble or disc after life swap and the other DPS doesn’t pay attention and you coulda won but end up losing. Those games get me so frustrated

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

happens a lot

#

now we had an undergeared ret in a match

#

i say to go for him

#

the priest said "mAgE"

#

and we lose

surreal barn
#

If it’s a mage as partner I usually call it

#

They are good at swaps… usually

#

Otherwise ya toptarget is the real mvp

spring bough
#

in a 2200 lobby with a holy priest playing spirit healer

#

i almost shit a brick when he died went spirit and came back alive....

jolly sierra
#

WTF

#

ahhh yeah

#

happens lol

spring bough
#

"i love it cause its so troll" LOL

pale storm
#

You just bomb while they are up

jolly sierra
#

yeah they cant move

#

so u can freely use it as a counter

spring bough
#

3-3 and 0 raating all cause we got caught off guard first round w this damn holy priest >.>

vocal surge

Ooof

jolly sierra
#

4-2 we got in a wizard lobby with a chicken which become pinata for everyone

#

and i was the one being fkn trained by all the casters as a war

#

so i used emblem

agile leaf
#

i was way under the average mm like 100 and 3-3 gets even rating, was expecting a little summin

pale storm
#

Were you on a losing streak before this?

agile leaf
#

like 2 losses

#

i believe

jolly sierra
#

blade edges as warr w a lock and a frost

#

F

tribal badger
#

could be worse

#

facing ele + rsham + lock

#

on blades edge

#

had a 1/5 game at 2300 to that

#

why even attempt to play

#

bottom floor pov

jolly sierra
#

had an enh sham

#

too

#

so everyone tossed me

#

-60 for that fkn joke as a match

spring bough
#

enh shaman do too much dmg lol. other day i was like 50% got hit twice by one and instant dead

#

100k + crits from two diff abilities lol

agile leaf
#

one last one, this dude got 84 rating because hes rating is well over the average mm?

tribal badger
#

might be winstreaking

jolly sierra
#

sounds like a streak, yeah

#

finished 1-5 with that fkn lobby

#

remove blade edge's once per all

jolly sierra
#

lol gratz

#

that is over every SL glad mount

graceful ravine

prob the last time im maining rogue

thinking of warrior for s2

#

and live the zug zug life

#

infinite defensives

#

0 stress

jolly sierra

what if rog gets buffed again?

graceful ravine
#

i would love for that to happen but i doubt it lol

#

public outrage too strong

jolly sierra
#

:l

#

those 1k players

graceful ravine
#

outlaw has potential tho

#

just needs more dmg

vocal surge
#

^

#

what class you got glad on?

graceful ravine
#

rog

#

outlaw defensives looking good, just need more dmg

jolly sierra
#

did we had a moment like this in former xps for pvp?

#

buried in the shit?

fading blade
graceful ravine
#

yup

#

cookie cutter build

fading blade
#

How much of a pain was it?

graceful ravine
#

depressing

#

ret/wars every game

vocal surge

Ooof

fading blade
#

Prob would be easier to get glad as ret

graceful ravine
#

100%

#

but i was too lazy to lvl it, regear etc

Glad I got more classes at max lvl other than Rogue

graceful ravine

what lvl do i need to start timewalking

jolly sierra

lvl 10

graceful ravine

tyty

jolly sierra
#

np

pale storm
#

Hit 2609 at 2.7 mmr and then just kept Qing into Bicmex r1 push, wizk, absterge, nessper etc lol and lost a few in a row

jolly sierra
#

checked by myself in my last lvl run

graceful ravine
#

How long u think 1-60 takes? @jolly sierra

#

Debating if I should just buy a boost

jolly sierra
#

from 10-50

#

a couple of days more

#

god is good af to play w low cr in night

#

i got matches with higher my mmr

#

and win

jolly sierra
#

my route was like this

went pandaren
did the entire intro till lvl 18
went ghostlands cuz i didn't had flying, so
did entire ghostlands and then went to silverpine at lvl 34
did entire silverpine with farming a lot the rares through flying while i was questing
finished silverpine at lvl 57, went to hillsbrad, did a little amount of quests
returned to silverpine 1 hour later, killed all rares again and almost went 60

#

everything with ten lands potions and herbo w mining

graceful ravine
#

That sounds like a lot of work

#

but I’ll be damned if blizz takes another $60 out of me..

jolly sierra
#

nah is not too hard

#

just boring, if you don't think and hit like a truck

#

you won't notice, just hear a podcast or something meanwhile

#

anyways, ur choice

potent pivot
tribal badger
#

ok priest moderatly pvp geared, hunter at 60

#

blast out 60-70 with timewalking tomorrow after reset and then double 1800s 👏

#

almost done with the season

waxen meteor
#

i just did an alliance character

#

and went bfa chain trying to unlock new races

#

first map (all missions cleared + dark iron dwarf mission) took me to lvel 58

jolly sierra
#

try using ten lands potions too

#

btw, downloaded warcraft recorder to check my replays

waxen meteor
#

and i reached lv58 without enabling pvp mode

#

entirely forgot

jolly sierra
#

lol

waxen meteor
#

anyway i don't kill horde

#

i feel SP has more skills than ret before rework lol

tribal badger
#

sp is very bloated yea

#

gained so many buttons that do so little more then what it did

jolly sierra
#

tbh i didnt expected to be bloated in buttons w warr

waxen meteor
#

also the mining and herb gave a lot of exp

#

a lot

jolly sierra
#

big agree w that

#

can mean even a quarter of ur total leveling progress

stray rivet
#

which rogue spec has the leasat amount of buttons for pvp?

tribal badger
#

tbh they all have alot

#

i think last i counted rotationally most rogue specs r pretty similar in the 10-12 button area

#

and pvp has even more buttons

stray rivet
#

i dont have mmo mouse idk this seems impossible

#

does anyone here have keybindings for sub only for the keyboard

waxen meteor
#

but obviously all can be done with 60 bucks

waxen meteor
#

those mines sell like 2 trillions

jolly sierra
#

oh yeah

#

but is slow af

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

i don't know how i survived from there

#

every mission is like kill 200 creeps

#

btw, i am a bit bored playing SP

#

if it's not first alliance character i would probably already give up

graceful ravine
#

ty for the advice, zug zug brothers

jolly sierra
#

u welcome, rog pvp homie

stray rivet
#

of keybinds

#

mayeb i can be enlightened as to why people do it the way they do it

jolly sierra
#

from SL

#

side bar

stray rivet
#

do u actually press O

#

and control?

#

like

#

wtf

#

U and P?

#

I and T?

#

how

#

xd

jolly sierra
#

think im ambidexterous

#

lol

stray rivet
#

u use ur right hand as well?

jolly sierra
#

yeh

stray rivet
#

wat

#

da fuck

#

so u take ur hand off the mpouse

#

and press those buttons

#

this game is legit unplayable

jolly sierra
#

i use the arrow keys by instinct sometimes

stray rivet
#

cant say i ddint try to play this game

jolly sierra
#

i wonder where tf is that guy hyper

#

didn't talked here since a lot of time tho

graceful ravine
#

you take your hand off the mouse mid-arena to press O and P?

#

thats fking wild LOL

#

P is your vanish

stray rivet
#

thats literally like

#

absurd

#

how can anyone get used to that

jolly sierra
#

the thing is

#

my fingers are longer than average, at pianist level

#

sec

stray rivet
#

yea if ur nto genetically gifted dont play wow

#

got it

ruby drift
#

Just use shift and control modifiers

stray rivet
#

its legit 40 keybinds alone

#

how can anyone expect new players to do this

ruby drift
#

Ehh its not that bad tbh

stray rivet
#

its pretty bad

#

its literally starcraft

#

starcraft died because its too complicated for new players

ruby drift
#

I disagree with that

stray rivet
#

what do you disagree with

ruby drift
#

Some games just can't last forever.

#

Especially when they receive little support

stray rivet
#

league has been #1 on every chart since its inception

#

starcraft just dies

#

wow pvp is less than 0.00000000001 of the world

ruby drift
#

Starcraft has been around since 99 lol

stray rivet
#

ye it just bad

#

just a bad game

#

poorly deisnged in every way

ruby drift
#

Just RTS isn't a big genre anymore like it was

potent pivot
#

Most classes have somewhere in the range of 15-20 keybinds

#

It’s not that bad with modifiers like shift etc

#

You just have to get used to using them

#

Takes practice

#

Even using an mmo mouse takes practice and time to get used to

ruby drift
#

My sub rogue binds dont go farther then Y,G,V

stray rivet
#

my point is

#

ne wplayers should nt have to ever deal with 40 keybinds

#

otherwise its poorly deisnged

#

and will die soon

#

its shit

potent pivot
#

I disagree

ruby drift
#

Legit rogue has always been like this lmfao

#

As well as Shaman

potent pivot
#

While sometimes certain abilities can just feel like button bloat, it can allow for skill expression

ruby drift
#

If you aren't adept enough to [;ay the highest skill cap dps class, then their is many easier specs to play with much less binds

potent pivot
#

Even in League, you have to put in the time and effort to get good at the game

#

It may not be a keybind heavy game, but positional awareness and knowing where to auto the mobs etc. You don’t hit Diamond overnight, it’s the same thing in all games

ruby drift
#

^

stray rivet
#

i cant really debate

#

when u guys dont even compare the right things

#

gg

#

aint no fkin way

#

we're comparing positional knowledge

#

to the basics of teh game (keybinds)

#

naw

tawny kestrel
#

how can u compare a moba to an mmorpg

stray rivet
#

a moba is well designed

#

wow pvp = dog shit

ruby drift
#

No its just your reasonings are dogshit

#

Like actually man

tawny kestrel
#

always baffles me when ppl come in here just to say their opinion and then disagree with everything everyone else says

ruby drift
#

Wrath rogue has the same amount of binds tbh

#

And the game was popping then

#

And it really hasn't changed

stray rivet
#

can promise u rn wow pvp population goes even lower in next years

#

noibody wants 2 learn 40 keybinds

tawny kestrel
#

then stay bad noob

ruby drift
#

Can promise you league pop goes lower in next years too?

stray rivet
#

fps market will never try to learn this moba market will never try to learn this no other genere besides mmo would do that

ruby drift
#

Like lol

#

Such 2 head logic

stray rivet
#

everyday ppl on twitter crying on how they cant find q in wow pvp wow i wonder why

#

:((

tawny kestrel
#

yeah tons of ppl quit cus they have to learn more than 5 keybinds

ruby drift
#

😂

stray rivet
#

ye

#

thats quite literally

tawny kestrel
#

on god

stray rivet
#

one of the biggest rteasons

#

lol

tawny kestrel
#

fr

#

youre the first person to say it in here

#

but u are prob right

ruby drift
#

Tell me you never hit chall in league without telling me you never hit chall in league

stray rivet
#

i am right

ruby drift
#

Talking about queue times 😂

stray rivet
#

u can definitely find games in chall

#

lol

ruby drift
#

Yeah after 20-40m of queue

stray rivet
#

but people on twitter complain about 3s queue times all the time

#

nobody wants 2 play pvp

#

lol

tawny kestrel
#

they complain about 3s queue times?

#

rly

ruby drift
#

Nah they dont but he says they do so

stray rivet
#

idk why ur like defending a dead genre so hard im not about 2 learn 40 kley boinds and then 40 keybinds for every other class sorry

#

!!

ruby drift
#

3s queue times are fine lol

gleaming pawn
#

that has nothing to do with keybinds, please just keep bitching because you can't keep up on rogue

tawny kestrel
#

could you link a tweet that complains about 3s queue times please

ruby drift
#

Then piss off man

#

Youre too brain dead to learn how to hit the left side of your keyboard

#

This game just isnt for you

stray rivet
#

HAHAHAHA

tawny kestrel
#

good response

stray rivet
#

wow players actually get mad when other people dont want to learn 40 keybinds on one class alone HAHAHAHAHA

#

thats so insane lol

#

i can promise u im better at league than u are at ur dead genre game sorry 😦

tawny kestrel
#

congratulations

#

can promise you nobody cares

#

the only thing you've achieved by typing here is telling everyone that you are too bad to play wow

#

which is fine

stray rivet
#

wow players get mad when 99.9999999 percent of population are not willing to learn their shitty designed pvp system omgg

#

dead game fr

tawny kestrel
#

no1 is mad dont worry

#

just seems very pointless to come into a wow discord and talk shit about wow after admitting you are bad at wow

ruby drift
#

Hey guys, this game is to hard for me. Ded game.

#

Legit, all your posts.

stray rivet
#

i mean i did consider giving it a try and then i then weighed the outcome (having to learn the 40 other keybinds for 20 different specs) yea not doing that

#

its a really badly designed pvp system and its just going 2 be worse in the future nobody will ever invest their time into this lol

tawny kestrel
#

thats why they recommend leveling a character from 1 before boosting a high level

#

so you can learn stuff first

stray rivet
#

yea let me level 20 different specs so i can learn

#

ye

tawny kestrel
#

also, its easier to learn a new class if youre already decent/good at one class

#

theres a lot of similarities

gleaming pawn
#

who ever said you need to learn 20 other specs and their keybinds?

stray rivet
#

there is quite litearlly no reason to play this game when theres 20 different games 10x more competitive with 1/10th to learn lol

tawny kestrel
#

then dont 😛

stray rivet
#

pretty terrible tradeoff

tawny kestrel
#

no1 cares

#

not one singular person in the entire world cares if you play wow or not

gleaming pawn
#

and if you keybind by ability type, interrupt is always the same key, CC is the same key, etc, there's very little difference

stray rivet
#

i know considering 0.0000000001 of the planet even play it yea

#

i mean the numbers quite literally show how poorly its designed

tawny kestrel
#

facts

#

u go tell blizzard that

stray rivet
#

y would i do that i dont care

tawny kestrel
#

seems like u care

stray rivet
#

nop

gleaming pawn
#

why did NoTrickz have to go to bed, just ban this clown and be done with it. 0 constructive things to say

stray rivet
#

everytime a wow player hears an opinion that isnt theirs they want2 ban

#

HAHAH

#

all good bro

#

its funny how a wow discord has a league channel but no league discord has a wow one 😦

#

just a bad gam

#

pce

jolly sierra
#

god this guy is like a wall

#

just whines and dismiss everything cuz cant git gud and just says a fkn game which should be dead 15 years ago is dying for real now lol

#

if it didn't died in wod, it won't now

vocal surge
#

is he complaining about 40 keybinds?

jolly sierra
#

don't be a manchild and grow up, life is not easy

#

yeah, just for keybinds

too much = lol no im leaving trash game kekw

vocal surge
#

I got to Duelist with not that many keybinds

jolly sierra
#

i got elite with my key style

vocal surge
#

Like 10 and thats pretty much it

jolly sierra
#

and i know is abnormal

#

and remember a guy which got duelist by just clicking

tawny kestrel
#

there’s a mage who has gotten r1 just by clicking

jolly sierra
#

see

lone goblet
#

Dude has a point. The smaller a community the harder it is for a pvp system to match people properly.

#

and a shrinking community means that only the good players will stick with it, leaving no one for beginners to play against.

#

So they dont stick with it and the community keeps shrinking

#

And skill in this pvp system differentiates really fast.

vocal surge
#

Dont forget the time commitment to learn each class and spec

jolly sierra
#

tbh we are having a lot of participation rn with SS

#

the problem is the overhearing to most pvp pop

#

no matter how objective or pointless is

iron flicker
#

@stray rivet seems a little mad xD have not seen someone cry so much about being bad at a game in a long time.

This guy compares wow pvp to lol as if you don't need to learn abilities of like a hundred lol characters

Turtle feels kinda bugged though. Like, attacks coming through it half a second after it's up

163 champions with 4 buttons each is apparently more than 13 classes with 40 xD

#

For me coming back to league is a lot harder than coming back to wow. There're always at least 5 new champions with brand new abilities and mechanics (that get crazier with every modern champion). In wow the core class kits don't change drastically that often.

#

The biggest wow shakeup in abilities was probably legion.

#

all successful pvp games are f2p

#

i can't imagine someone who's bad at wow sticking with it long enough to get good when they're forking out $15 a month to get shat on by people who have been playing every day for the last 10-15 years

#

when they can just log into lol for free and get the same experience

copper maple
#

I've had an idea for a while. Imagine if blizz cut pvp out of wow and make it a stand alone f2p game. Without leveling, gearing up, having to balance pvp and pve separately. Throw in the in game shop for cosmetics to actually make money.

#

I personally enjoy wow pvp, but don't spend much time on games these days to justify a monthly subscription spending (cost of which also increased a lot after certain events on early 2022).

Which is why fotm rerollers are rampant

copper maple
#

You still have to invest a lot of time if you wanna try a new class (leveling and gearing). Removing those two would make it a better pvp experience.
Imagine if you had to level up your AK-47 skills and improving the gun's stats in CS, that wouldn't be fun.

I don't have a problem with rerollers. It's more about class balance.

ruby drift
#

It’s barely a hurdle anymore

copper maple
#

It is, but it still takes time. Wouldn't be fun if you spent hours of leveling and gearing up just to realise you don't actually enjoy that class at the endgame pvp.

#

I wouldn't care much at least 7 years ago, when I was a student. I don't play as much anymore.

#

I like wow pvp, but I also like games which you can just hop in and play.

ruby drift
#

Idk. I think that pvp “felt” better in the olden days for a number of reasons.

#

Being committed to your char/spec

#

Back when having a maxed alt was like a huge feat

#

And very rare

copper maple
#

It's fun if you're a kid with infinite free time

ruby drift
#

I know it mostly felt better cause we were all bad etc

copper maple
#

But even then I sometimes regret how I spent my free time as a kid.

ruby drift
#

Well that’s life.

#

Time gets more valuable as you age

copper maple
#

I think wow players are older than other popular games on average

ruby drift
#

Yeah that’s probably correct

copper maple
#

That's why it's moving in the direction it does

#

With quick and easy leveling, alt friendliness and stuff

ruby drift
#

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be easy to level or gear, it does come with its own can of worms though

#

Which we all experienced this patch

copper maple
#

The issue with rerollers isn't being easy to level.

surreal barn
#

What would you implement to encourage less FOTM hopping - other than proper balancing of course

ruby drift
#

Tis the only way I think

copper maple
#

If you make a class absolutely broken, people will go out of their way to level it

ruby drift
#

Ofc

#

Even in wrath people did it when pallies where insane during togc

#

But a lot of specs still have many comp issues

#

Like enhance shaman for example

maiden quest
#

WoW is built, by design in a way that FOTM is pretty much mandatory to a certain point

ruby drift
#

They don’t fit in rbgs , and only have 1 comp to play

maiden quest
#

Unless being crushed 24/7 in pvp don't matter to you

#

Idk i see rank one outlaw managing to "loose" against 1.8k hardstuckers on fotm classes
