#

I didn't hold their hands and they didn't go to Wowhead or another site to find where the stuff is

steel scarab
#

"Here's what to do to start gearing for PvP! Go do it! Also here are cosmetics for doing it x number of times! Go have fun!"

vocal surge
#

they just read and looked around

steel scarab
#

Pirate you are definitely just hyper focusing on being contrary

#

Actually read what I'm saying

halcyon timber
#

literally a few quests and a quest chain that show people the ropes already. They are just too busy talking to e girls talking to twitch chat scum while smoking a J out of an apple with a silly straw and a blow torch

vocal surge
#

That's because the solution is right in front of you and you keep ignoring it

#

and in my own perspective, I see that you're having issues with kindergarten level problems

#

when they shouldn't be

halcyon timber
#

sure offer it up to blizzy in a suggestion and yes I get that

vocal surge
#

its like having First world problems in a third world country

halcyon timber
#

same time people need to read and listen more to what IS happening in game.

steel scarab
#

I guarantee if we asked 1000 players in general chat who don't PvP what types of PvP gear is in the game, at least 50% would not know about world PVP gear because they always have war mode off.

halcyon timber
#

it's kinda like in old rpgs like FF7 , had a friend gripe about quests understanding materia and summons and etc. Was his fault for skipping and not reading it.

steel scarab
#

At the same time though, did ff7 have a compendium system you could go back and access to reread things later that you'd missed?

halcyon timber
#

they can clearly understand what "scales to X in pvp combat" on the tooltip

#

means though

steel scarab
#

There's such a thing as "information overload," right? This happens to people a lot in new games. The game is force feeding you information at a rate that's too fast for you to absorb

#

There needs to be a way to go back and review things you've missed

halcyon timber
#

they are doing that with evergreen features soon etc

steel scarab
#

That's good!

halcyon timber
#

plenty of jokers rush to max level and don't learn their class then die in content

vocal surge
#

The main source of information overload for me in WoW is sounds in general

steel scarab
#

But I don't think it's fair to call someone stupid for forgetting about a certain type of currency because they had a single quest that explained it, amongst their 30 quests in the quest log

vocal surge
#

the 2nd source of information overload comes from raiding

halcyon timber
#

good example is beta testing " I played x because it was strong". runs in and gets smoked on a 20 something key.

steel scarab
#

There's a lot going on

halcyon timber
#

their fault for not reading / practicing etc

#

visual indicators in FFXIV ain't ever going to come to wow

vocal surge
#

tru

halcyon timber
#

they have to make things more challenging due to how the pve base does things

#

here's a new goofy radar addon to trivialize the boss

#

here's a new goofy strategy to get through a wall to shave off 20seconds

#

not a blizz problem

steel scarab
#

Ideally

halcyon timber
#

in pvp let's let DH hop on houses with a flag (legion)

steel scarab
#

They'd improve the UI and remove all add ons

halcyon timber
#

they ain't doing that either

steel scarab
#

The game should have everything you need to succeed on the screen

#

Baked in

vocal surge
#

They're 100% failing on that department imo

halcyon timber
#

same time, just pay the addon developers to integrate it into wow

#

easy fix

steel scarab
#

Here's a great question

#

Ready for this?

halcyon timber
#

not really honestly

vocal surge
#

not really no

steel scarab
#

In PvP, diminishing returns are a critically important concept. And yet

#

In no way does the game teach you about this, at all.

#

There's nothing in the UI about it, never a quest that explains it,

halcyon timber
#

the pvp forum official website blah blah section does

#

however yes should be in game

steel scarab
#

The game really doesn't even explain why blind lasts 1 minute on mobs and like 6 seconds on players

#

These are all MASSIVE barriers to new players that simply shouldn't be there. The game needs to teach people the rules

halcyon timber
#

ffxiv gets too involved in pvp as an example and instead gimped it more

#

had cds and cool stuff and people griped and all cc is full immunity off 1 dr for 10 sec so they have to overcompensate with silly crap like limit breaks doing 150% of anyone's lfie bar

#

in wow people need to learn on their own, other games like black desert are just spammy slah slah dash slash nonsense which ain't skilled either. GW2 was also solid but people spammy spam model as well and gear was taken out for shiddy rune system.

#

I agree though, yes a "proving grounds" scenario could come in the future. Same time, dunno how much of an investment (the now much bigger blizz team) would do into it when pve side is the main focus of things clearly. They work on pvp when they can (example War Within new pvp stuff coming as well which is really really nice)

wintry dew
#

How is it possible that this conversation has lasted like 2 days already

brazen drift
#

Idk, let's discuss something else.

#

Like cake.

#

Cake is good.

wintry dew
#

I actually love cake,

still abyss
#

hey guys, never really played rogue before, just dinged 70 and want to play sub and outlaw (sub for now). do I rush 4 set with my first conquest points? (buy 3, and get 4th at 1600)? do I get weapon after? thanks 🙂

#

(I have tokens from other chars to cap conq)

compact river
#

What do I trinket on a sub rogue to not die in the go.

minor cape
#

trinketing is a must if you have no defensives that works through stun, your healer is controlled too and sub gets help from other dps

#

in some situations trinket on bomb

#

if you are full hp you are not dying in a shadowy duel most likely, but if you arent probably should trinket

#

obviously shadow blades is a big cd

#

so be extra careful on that

#

and never trinket if rogue is not in shadow dance of course xd

compact river
#

I main a shaman, and I've pretty much accepted they are not going to be able to be kited. And I've been trinketed when my healer is CCed or lined. My wall isn't usable in a stun, though.

minor cape
#

there are however builds that are capable of oneshotting solo (or at least were last season) that used flagelation, but i think it's a cancer build tbh

compact river
#

Right, so that's like the ele meme build, where you're useless if you miss you go?

minor cape
#

sub is always useless if it misses the go

#

but flag build amplified it xd

minor cape
compact river
#

Lol everyone trains the blue. I do okay against rogues when I play enh. I get why people target blue though. Can't wall in stun, really squishy.

still abyss
minor cape
#

i have no idea, i haven't played this season

still abyss
#

oh

#

fair enough

minor cape
still abyss
#

root, static totem, thunderstorm, lightning lasso, frost shock root etc

minor cape
#

when rogue wastes both shadowstep it's hard for them

compact river
#

Surge of power. Earth shock + frost is a root, that can be hard to deal with

minor cape
#

ye

still abyss
#

since everyone uses 4 set I'll just rush it I think

minor cape
#

i mostly played 2s and ele with healer can be annoying

#

just have to be good at ele

still abyss
#

yeah ele is super annoying in 2s

#

their style of disruption works really well in that format especially

minor cape
#

as to enh idk, it's really random, he might just delete sub xd

compact river
#

That's honestly how enh feels. Either you die or they die.

still abyss
#

and tbh, a huge part is if your healer knows how to react to sub damage

brazen drift
#

@still abyss which class are you wanting to play?

#

Sub or Outlaw?

still abyss
#

sub primarily

brazen drift
#

Okay sec

minor cape
#

Oaks, are you nesper

#

🤔

#

haven't been here for a while

still abyss
#

or pre-barking on kidney because you know smoke bomb is coming next global

brazen drift
#

Sepsis Build is better with 2+ set so if you can get that earlier then do so.

Secret Tech Build is fine without set bonus to climb with, I'm not home or I'd share my code import but a quick Google should show you.

brazen drift
#

I'm just oaks

minor cape
#

nvm

still abyss
brazen drift
#

For rushing sets, you can do. It easy to get 4 set this deep into the season now.

#

Yeah do it. Get your 3, then when you hit 1600 pick up you fourth piece.

#

Sepsis is good with 2 set to grind out conquest and rating anyway

compact river
#

Pretty sure the 4th charge came out Tuesday, too.

still abyss
brazen drift
#

Hits hard all the same, you can still utilize it with gore and do some good damage

still abyss
still abyss
brazen drift
#

Sepsis just feels better in my opinion. And with everyone playing it, there's a reason behind it somewhere.

still abyss
#

if that's what you meant

brazen drift
#

Until you get 2 set it'll be fine mate

still abyss
#

cheers

#

well I'll be getting 2 set immediately

brazen drift
#

Once you hit 2, swap sepsis and go upset everyone

still abyss
#

hehe

compact river
#

How bad is it with teammates ruining ya'lls DRs?

still abyss
#

is this good enough?

#

for sepsis

still abyss
brazen drift
still abyss
#

no worries, I'm fiddling with binds and bars 🙂

#

appreciate it

wintry dew
brazen drift
#

I run 4 piece on all sub builds tbh, it could be wrong but doesn't feel bad so far.

#

DMd you both with my build to avoid being scrutinized PepeLaugh

wintry dew
#

Thanks! Yesterday tried some shuffles as sub (already 1800 s assa) and my god, it was painful

nova jay
#

wait, sepsis is now in the bis sub build?

brazen drift
wintry dew
#

And I was not using it yesterday xD
Still, I was pulling big sectech + goremaws

nova jay
#

what makes it so good?

wintry dew
#

Downing people into execute range 😦

nova jay
#

Also did they fix shadowed finishers yet?

brazen drift
#

Yeah, like 2 patches ago brother.

#

That's why we're so good right now.

#

Huge burst.

brazen drift
wintry dew
brazen drift
#

Ehh, kinda.

wintry dew
#

I was so used to the last season build of cb sectech

brazen drift
#

If you watch pikas vid that he posted about 3 weeks ago

#

covers the basic

wintry dew
#

Will most likely do that, haven't pvped in a while, wanted to get sub at least to 1800

proven kayak
wintry dew
#

I kinda want 2.1 again aswell, did it in S1, but idk, I rage too easily and queu times ...

nova jay
#

hellbloom/bloody token gear can't be used in catalyst?

brazen drift
#

Baha, part of the Rogue experience is raging.

still abyss
#

btw is there some go to resource for macros?

#

some streamer that's particularly good or some other resource

brazen drift
still abyss
#

perfect

#

do we macro thistle tea with dance or do you actually want to use it for the 100 energy regen?

wintry dew
cosmic thistle
#

Is it any dps macro that is must have for sin

wintry dew
#

No

#

I mean you could have shadowdance-kingsbane macro but not totally needed

last jasper
#

how do u play against monk?

#

Just had double monk lobby that pew pew me to death

#

Double disarm, double pew pew, 200k combined

wary moss
#

Make sure you evasion when they pop serenity, cloak their touch of karma, disarm lowers their damage but doesn't stop them.

Play defensively, work out their defensive CDs after they pop those you should be good to erase them.

last jasper
#

Imma go look how this serenity looks like 😂

wary moss
#

They turn blue and blue symbol pop up above their head

#

Can also just stunlock them during it lol

waxen meteor
#

Disarm lowers the dmg?

wary moss
#

It used to anyway

#

Back in mop

cosmic thistle
#

iam just getting one shot by retro pala and they are 2 aswell very fun

#

won 1 round only got so fkign hard focused couldnt do a thing

wary moss
#

Ret is hands down the hardest melee for me to deal with

mortal jay
#

agreed. doesnt help they've got as much range as a hunter..(slight exag but !@#!@)

#

just realized I'm unmuted in game! taking bets on how long it takes me to get muted again

last jasper
jolly sierra
#

dammit wtf happened 7 hours ago in this chat

last jasper
jolly sierra
#

just seen the pointless arguing against a wall

mortal jay
#

was that the "wow is too hard for boomers. give us conquest gear

jolly sierra
#

yes basically

last jasper
#

same 😄

#

Funny, that I predicted that evantually he would complain about drs

jolly sierra
#

XDDDD

#

make stuns more friendly

#

oh wait

last jasper
#

prolly need a mommy on a second screen calling out drs

#

in pegi 13 game

jolly sierra
#

i wanna a mommy but alongside me in the room

cosmic thistle
#

why do i always win 3 rounds iam starting too tweek the fuck out

jolly sierra
#

because u are unlucky

cosmic thistle
#

so unlucky in 100 rounds:(

jolly sierra
#

usually when i 3-3 i switch to another char and play w that

#

in ur case just do something else ingame like farm

cosmic thistle
#

why wont help me get mro lucky?

jolly sierra
#

sometimes when u instaq u get the same players

#

so u will get close to that 3-0 anyways

wary moss
#

I need to do my 1800 push this weekend... been chilling at 1665, gearing other characters

#

The last time I went 3-3 I was at 1598, gain 5 points and got pushed into challenger 2. Lol

mortal jay
#

dont do it. i hit 1800 last week and all of my motivation to push further died.

#

tbf though.. I am not a 2k player and never will be. I just wanted to prove the worst ass rogue on tich could hit 1800.

jolly sierra
#

same i become lazy aff

wary moss
#

I would want to push for 2.1 but I honestly don't care about the enchantment this season

jolly sierra
#

maybe ill wait for tuning and go

wary moss
#

OH! speaking of enchantment. How tf do you get the poisoned illusion?

jolly sierra
#

wow warlords or legion with a rogue npc u summon with a whistle

#

i dont recall where to get the whistle but try pickpocket in those zones

#

maybe u get that there

wary moss
#

Ahh I need a item to start it... I could not find the npc to save my life

#

Ty

mortal jay
#

is there a setting I can tweak, an update I missed.. or anything I can do to make omnibar stop spazzing out

cosmic thistle
mortal jay
#

i'm borderline stupid. 1800 is my peak play 🙂

#

and.. i suppose.. in the past you needed to push rating to bump your gear.. no gear change between 1000 and 2100 .. sooo

wary moss
#

That's fair

mortal jay
#

i'm dumb but I could always luck into a few good games and push the next rating.. and be able to bump my gear a wee bit

wary moss
#

Push on a character that will care about the enchantment. Lol

Idk if they are character wide

mortal jay
#

i play rogue

#

its world of roguecraft

#

i'm too old to learn a new class/spec

wary moss
#

Could always take the easy road and play DH lol

exotic dove
wary moss
#

Ohhh nice

#

Maybe I will make the push then... would look cool on my fel flame warlock

last jasper
#

jeez, I'm burned

#

dropped 200 cr

#

just fckin pve mongo each lobby

mortal jay
#

step away ..even if its for 15 minutes

#

mindset is huge

#

and a few losses will kill your mindset

last jasper
#

I'm more upset cuz idk how to handle this type of lobbies

exotic dove
#

It happens usually if the melee dps is mongo you can lead them behind a pillar stun em and force trinkets or the kill

wary moss
#

What are you playing into?

last jasper
jolly sierra
#

acc wide as everything cosmetic

last jasper
#

and obv I can't just sit there and pve them too

last jasper
exotic dove
#

what spec are you playing?

last jasper
#

Sub mate

wary moss
#

Yeah...that's a rough one...

cosmic thistle
#

fin dh with 0 pvp gear and 0 rating BEST EVER

wary moss
#

Go 3-3 and destroy him every time he's on the enemy team

cosmic thistle
#

fun 3 win game as always om doen with wow so boring

wary moss
#

Just take a break from shuffle my man

exotic dove
#

Play the long game against that when I fought that as Sub I played the long game. I kept track of where my healer was and if I had too I would step to him defensively. I usually play it patient playing by pillars while they are going you and whether they decide to LOS their healer so you can get their cds or just go back to another target is still a win because during either scenario they are not doing damage. Against the classes you mentioned I seem to find Dk the easiest target and this is true no matter if I play sub or assa. Playing Veil of Midnight is also not bad at times against stuff like that having a second evasion goes a long way and at times. Against the ret war its a little rough but I have killed their healer against that a few times so keep an eye on if healer has trinket or not especially a resto druid I think I have killed rdruids and rshams the most in shuffle. I am super tired so hopefully this was understandable and helps you out and I hope you succeed. @last jasper

sharp sierra
#

Been on classic and sod whats the spec now?

wary moss
cosmic thistle
#

no iam not kidding my 1100 round has been atleast 90% 3 wins

last jasper
mortal jay
#

i just sapped a dh out of/during the initial cast of the hunt.. it was funny

last jasper
#

And I try to kidney healer the moment he is of dr. Suck at chain cc tho

#

I might need to practice my rotation, cuz it feels i'm not doing enough pressure. Unless I have all cds

mortal jay
#

you is ass or sub

#

?

last jasper
#

Sub for life

mortal jay
#

oh.. i know nothing about ...you people

exotic dove
#

I actually have a dk as well. If it helps in shuffle I actually have a focus kidney bind for healers and cheap shot the kill target. It is especially useful against an rsham trying to link

mortal jay
#

other than.. your classes entire premise is "your go"

soft cloud
#

With regards to subtlety, will it be better to replace the Hellbloom gear with conquest/life-bound gear after the rest of our gear is filled out? It looks like the main trade-off by going this route is higher vers., ilvl (stam/agi.), etc., but lower mastery. Seems like the trade-off for all better stats, minus mastery may be worth it, but I wasn't sure how detrimental it would be in pvp since we are so reliant on big finishers(i.e. mastery).

exotic dove
last jasper
exotic dove
#

Yeah it happens but even if you get a healer cced and you eat one your partner is still doing damage

wary moss
#

I think the hellbloom 2 set makes it worth keeping (I think)

exotic dove
#

so its not wasted unless the dps partner is meh

exotic dove
last jasper
wary moss
#

Wait... really? Lol

The extra vers from the 2 set isn't applied in arena?

wary moss
#

Went this whole xpac never knew/noticed lmao

#

Welp I guess we replace those 😅

exotic dove
#

That same advice was given to myself and I have improved over the years as well on mine.

last jasper
#

Nah, rating is the last thing im concerned.

#

at least as a sub.

#

jsut want to get good as sub

#

I dropped so low where ppl stop trinket my kidney despite being already killed in the first go previous round

proven kayak
#

Sub is the most fun and annoying spec in whole game feels so rewarding when you win fees terrible when you got class checked

wary moss
#

Playing sin, it feels so good outplaying sub. Like one of my favorite things lol

wintry dew
#

I'm usually totally owned by good subs

wary moss
#

That's why it feels good lol

surreal barn
#

Meld helps so much in that situation

#

As assa

last jasper
#

lmao, now I got full pve hunter 😄

wary moss
#

Easy kills atleast

#

They honestly shouldn't let you into RSS unless you have atleast full honor gear

last jasper
#

Only ilvl rec. He had trinket set tho

jolly sierra
#

yesterday in the bg i did no pve andy had a full trinket set

#

and joined anyways

wintry dew
#

Tbf you can have vers gear hero track PvE and it is 486 pve

#

My outlaw gear PvE has 36% vers 44% crit

Do any outlaw rogues take killing spree in pvp?

I used to love that ability

It can be hard to find a good place for it, but it can be good in cleaves to dump some damage on 2+ targets when you’re getting trained and are not in a crackshot window

Anyone fought the double BM comps where they just stay in stealth and summon the jungle to kill you

That is the most stupid strategy I've ever seen in WoW and is unhealthy gameplay

way too controversial

look at opinion differences lol

lucid citrus
#

I personally like the 2nd one

jolly sierra
#

im leaning to 2nd one too tho, but ill wait a little more

#

second one says "pvp pvp pvp"

lucid citrus
#

Yeahh the 1st one doesn’t pop out as much

jolly sierra
#

and maybe can chose another wep

#

but fitting it is hard tho

lucid citrus
#

Why not the conq 2h sword S3?

jolly sierra
#

for example im like this rn

#

oh

#

lemme see

#

or w rag flame

lucid citrus
#

I mean i love the illusion so i would say with it but without it looks good too

#

But those feet though LOL stands out so muchh

jolly sierra
#

still looks pretty agressive w shadowflame

#

and that is fine

#

XD

jolly sierra
#

but ngl i really liked prelate lore so i stayed like that

lucid citrus
#

This your pally?

#

Ohh yeah it is

#

I really like the s3 2h swords

wild flint

i like the first one the most

#

kinda looks like that white power ranger

gotta wait a little more

tell me there's a cooler looking power ranger

lol

shadow creek
#

What pvp talents are you running atm?

vocal surge
#

Enduring Brawler / Veil of Midnight / Dismantle

shadow creek
#

That’s generally what I run, swapping out dismantle for smoke bomb or take your cut, depending on team configuration

#

Really wish smoke bomb was baseline

vocal surge
#

Honestly I'd be down for Smoke Bomb baseline

#

its very hard to fit it in

#

But ye, if its a pure caster lobby

#

Enduring Brawler / Dagger in the Dark or Smoke Bomb / Take Your Cut

#

With Dagger in the Dark

#

I stack it on as many people as possible to 6 stacks before going in

#

once the first subterfuge ends

#

Vanish and wait for the debuff to refresh before going in with Vanish Subterfuge and Shadow Dance

#

12% damage w. Ghostly Strike on main target is just

#

ooooh

#

so much damage

#

10% bonus damage from Nightstalker if its working

#
  • 15% from Ghostly Strike
#

and +12% from Dagger in the Dark on all 3 targets

#

That's ez 200k DPS

shadow creek
#

I haven’t run DitD in a while, that’s interesting, I’ll have to take a look at it again. I like the idea of stacking it with ghostly strike

vocal surge
#

Aye

#

Another fun combo btw

#

with DitD

#

is vs Destro lock

#

6 Stacks DitD on them

#

opener as usual

#

and let their infernal hit you

#

Trinket the stun and kick their Shadowfury

#

and now you have 4 damage multipliers

#

10% Turn the Tables
12% Dagger in the Dark
10% Nightstalker
15% Ghostly Strike

shadow creek
#

Haha nice

vocal surge
#

Thats essentially 55.85% increased damage

#

on top of dealing 50% of that damage to other targets

#

if there were 3 players stacked and you had all those multipliers

#

you'd be doing 311.7% damage

shadow creek
#

You have to vanish after the kick, no?

vocal surge
#

however.. its assass.. i think merek was asking about sub?

no sin

this my build

PREtty close to what I have but I could never justify cold blood OVER acro strike for my play style. to each their own 🙂

#

sub does more tunnel?

old brook
#

It can be, but as always - it depends.

#

It’ll be common to swap off pressure or reset when your target pops a defensive cd, for example, or DRs dictate you change the flow of the fight

#

Sub is more about flexibility and adapting to the state of the game. Know your enemy’s defensives, get a feel for their playstyle, adjust accordingly.

#

There’s a reason sub is complained about loudly. A good sub rogue, like any good pvper, knows how to dumpster a player who isn’t playing well and/or popping their defensives ineffectively. There’s just a lot more control and burst involved and that doesn’t feel good in the receiving end.

cosmic thistle
#

nah can do sub cant start all over again

#

but in ss feels like i dont do dmg at all

#

3 games won its insane idk how many i won now that is 3 wins only

waxen meteor
#

But you are just trying to make stat sheet look better, you don’t even use the core skill of rogue, kidney. Your first video seems to have pikaboo stream behind, he basically said all the time, kidney is the most important thing for rogue nothing comes close

#

I only watched the second arena on mobile so might be not super accurate

#

looks like you hardly used your stun

#

You used only cheap shot during dance

#

And you constantly swapping between 3 targets for bleeds, and used all steps when it’s not that needed

cosmic thistle
#

ok will try tunnel more and use kidney and save shadow better

waxen meteor
#

You can spam dmg but it doesn’t win a game

#

As you can see you were too into triple target bleeding

#

That essentially caused below

#

1 you can’t stun people so you don’t create go nor killing

#

2 you can’t use evenom, that led to a fact you even had to spend cp on slice and dice back and forth

#

3 when you create no pressure on other team they freely cc you left and right

#

Arena is not a place when you do big dmg you win, if we only look at dmg stat sheet, sub is worst spec ever

#

You can make 300 dmg on 3 people without cc any of them, so they can have reduction and free healing so these 300 dmg are ‘sort of’ useless

#

Or you can make 250 dmg on 2 and stun the kill target and cc healer

#

So they have no reduction and eat full dmg without being healed, this creates kill

#

Of course if you have a way to out dmg everyone else by 500% you probably would win anyway but that’s not happening

#

And probably only affl lock is doing some kind of game like this, just pure out dmg everyone and potentially win by healer mana

cosmic thistle

ok will focus on 2 bleeds and cc healer more

Kidney is basically used everytime stun DR is off, basically when cd hits

#

hey guys

#

i created a BRILLIANT STRATEGY

#

it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE WITH IT

#

at least in my mind

#

i just need another rogue who will play with me

#

the strategy is very simple

#

we sit afk stealthed in the base of the 2v2 arena, enemy will not know what's going and be confused

#

eventually they will check but we can just sap then grappling hook to the other side of the map which only has a 30 sec cd

#

from there all we have to do is not get damaged until dampening hits like 60-70%

#

at which point their healer is useless so it's basically a 2v1

#

and we have vanish + cloak with pvp talent for full reset every 2 min

#

it's like playing hide and seek

#

until the dampening meter hits the point of no return

#

and they become toast

waxen meteor
worthy crag
#

so, basically invest 17 minutes for every round of 2s?

sounds like peak gameplay

it's about winning

also how did u calculate 17 mins?

That is the most aids shit ever

I wish all players who do that a very nice ban

there's no rule u can't do that

blame the game not the player

im just here to win

and do whatever it takes

I'm blaming the player

like they say "work smarter not harder"

why work ur ass off fighting

when u can just hide instead

I can think of 4 reasons off the top of my head

well u do u

and i do me

but i think this strategy really has potential for gaining rating

It does not

why do u think so?

I know so, because people outsmart players who do that at 1800

wild flint

zero build Ranked

without ever fighting anyone

just hide and avoid fights and wait for others to kill each other

and i would usually get 2nd or 3rd

stoic spruce
#

That is a completely different game

wild flint
#

u dont have to fight people to win

#

u just need to be smarter

With an idea like that, there's no way you're smart enough to push.

Lemme know when the circle closes in on the arena and you win from a technicality

worthy crag
#

but like

#

if ur just good, you can win the said game in under 40 seconds

#

Not to mention it will never work against hunters and demo locks and UDKs which is a fair amount of 2s representation

as well as DH unless you evade his eye all game long

#

just pray they are a petless team and fail to find you with the gem

wild flint
#

worthy crag
#

15 sec or so

stoic spruce
#

30 seconds I think

#

o

wild flint
#

thats not a lot

#

if it has a long respawn timer

#

kidney shot + gauge is 10 secs of the dps doing 0 dmg

#

sap 6 secs

#

His method can actually work

Easier with two sub rogues tho

wild flint
#

stoic spruce
#

only if its double sub

surreal barn
#

Double vanish and duel

stoic spruce
#

2 vanishes on cdr

worthy crag
#

but now the strat is on a steep decline in winrate with how much focus and time it consumes

#

one mistake ur plan is derailed

#

worthy crag
#

after investing like 6 minutes maybe

wild flint
#

there are no mistakes

#

only happy little trees

surreal barn
