U ever walk in a room and have 15 bitches on ur dick?

severe helm
#

Didn't lose as much cc as outlaw and yeah that's why I said if they tune it up

hidden moth
#

That’s the dopamine levels of devour

rough rock
#

It sounds like they are saying they are going to make it harder for devs

#

Like the wording makes it seems like we aren’t supposed to have addons see lots of auras

severe helm
#

Assas cc is worse but not devastatingly bad

rough rock
#

Which is funny because they can’t even make their own system work well so they will spend time making it harder???

hidden moth
#

We all saw how bad outlaw was in PvP for war within bc they are expected to have 100% uptime to keep cds rolling

keen fractal
#

wwasnt outlaw pretty nutty in final season?

hidden moth
#

Lmfaooo

keen fractal
#

oh thought thats wat pika/trill did r1 push with

hidden moth
#

Less than 50 people were 2400+ on outlaw s2

spring bough
#

First 5 days? Fuck yes. Then coin got a 67% nerf hotfix

spring bough
#

It was patch notes “Tuesday coin nerf 67%” and then they pushed that one change Friday night as a hotfix

#

I’ll never forgive them for that dumb shit

#

Fucking blizz hates rogues

severe helm
hidden moth
#

I mean

#

Outlaw in war within was “viable”

potent pivot
#

i'm just curious what the QoL changes to the API at the bottom are

rough rock
# potent pivot

This is kinda what we all were talking about the other week when talking about mvq using exploits

#

So they will have more guidelines it sounds like

#

That’s just my opinion what it sounds like

severe helm
#

so ngl its hard to tell. Seems like they both want less functionality and more functionality available to addon devs. Seems they kinda failed to prevent addon automation so they want to try a new approach to privatizing stuff. I think TLDR is that theyre gona restrict more stuff but then iteratively release more access once theyre at a point theyre happy with in terms of privatization

#

I think theyre slowly realizing that their whole plan might be kind of impossible cuz devs are always actively trying to outsmart them

potent pivot
#

pretty sure this reads as a nerf

potent pivot
#

me waiting for them to address DRs in any meaningful way

severe helm
#

some of the updates seem like mainly feature fix stuff that was kinda broken like issues checking stuff that is fully off cd or at full charges not reporting valid stuff

severe helm
#

pve seems to be the main focus of all of this

#

at least thats how this reads to me

vocal surge
#

Me waiting for the devs to make Horrify and Fear both the same category

river pollen
#

Man the slayer’s rise zone is lit af

#

So much shit going on

stoic spruce
#

It's to make gargoyle more equal

molten hedge
# potent pivot

I asked my healer to explain it to me like I’m dumb. But he’s been afk all prepatch cba to play the game 🤣😫

#

He makes addons

severe helm
#

the aura control might improve

#

so addons can probably better decide what to do with each type of aura(buff, debuff, etc) in terms of visual stuff and anchoring etc etc

#

potentially filter more things and blacklist some trash buffs

potent pivot
gaunt hollow
#

I'm not hearing sounds in Battlegrounds such as flag cap and pick up. Is that not possible to turn on in game anymore? I looked but can't seem to find that option anywhere

potent pivot
#

i found it very weird that they took away the ability to filter your debuffs

#

we can filter our buffs just fine

severe helm
#

if youc an filter by spell id

#

then you can do things like displaying specifically deathmark and then putting an alert when deathmark is there

#

effectively having WA level cooldown tracking for when to press your defensives

potent pivot
#

they could just the ability to base blizzard settings with no leniency on it right?

severe helm
#

wdym?

potent pivot
#

Like add it to base settings

#

Not the api

severe helm
#

filtering based on spell id?

potent pivot
#

Filtering based on debuffs YOU apply

severe helm
#

oh I thought you mean debuffs on yourself

#

yeah for your debuffs on the enemy you prob could do that

potent pivot
#

Oh nah idk if that’s gonna happen

severe helm
#

and it wouldnt open any floodgates imo

potent pivot
#

That’s a harder one

severe helm
#

yeah

#

I think they are slowly going to do these things

#

they just HEAVILY underestimated the work this was going to be

#

cuz it was probably a decision from leadership

#

without much technical knowledge

potent pivot
#

The fact that

#

We have a Blizzcon LAN this season

#

With all this uncertainty around addons..

#

It’s going to be a shit show

severe helm
#

its goint to be a total mess

#

you just know

#

Mes and team liquid

#

are gona have some insane shit

#

that no other team has

#

welcome to the UI competition

potent pivot
#

?

#

Why would they

severe helm
#

cuz mes does this every season

potent pivot
#

Ah

severe helm
#

his main contribution to the team lately has been UI support

#

he barely competes in games

potent pivot
#

Mvq is doing the same though

severe helm
#

he mostly just makes the UI insanely good for the team

#

sure yeah

#

but thats my point

#

UI competition haha

#

I mean obv skill still matters

#

but this UI fiasco is kind of ridiculous at this point

potent pivot
#

Yep

#

Have you tried AyijeCDM yet?

severe helm
#

ez ban

potent pivot
#

!ban @steady dew AI scam spam

severe helm
#

and I havent no, is it similar to better cdm?

#

im still using ellesui on my spriest

#

and arcui on my rogue

potent pivot
#

It’s like Unhalted+BetterCDM in one

severe helm
#

ooo interesting

potent pivot
#

Has good UX

severe helm
#

ill check it out

potent pivot
#

More features

severe helm
#

Im pretty much using a different setup on each char of mine hahaha

potent pivot
#

Kush changed his UI packs to Ayije and so did Atrocity

#

So i think it’s the best one out atm

severe helm
#

im struggling to find a middle ground between my pve and pvp ui

potent pivot
#

Ellesmere’s is still goated for simplicity and performance, just waiting on more features

severe helm
#

same

potent pivot
#

But tbh

#

I think I can have the exact same UI for both

severe helm
#

thast what I had in tww

#

but right now I need like different things for each

potent pivot
#

And just swap my unit frames/plates to BBF/BBP

severe helm
#

in terms of what addons can deliver

#

yeah unit frames and paltes are the big one

#

I dont like plater for pvp

#

so youre using BBP for pvp mainly?

#

do you have a good profile to share been wanting to try it out

potent pivot
#

I’ve been using Platynator to give it a shot but I’ve had performance issues with it compared to BBP already

#

And the bigdebuffs on platy are unnecessary with minicc being a thing I’m using

severe helm
#

ah ye makes sense

#

ill try out bbp

potent pivot
severe helm
#

since I hear it has nice icons for class for your friendly players

#

thats the big one I wnat in pvp compared to pve

#

better friendly player tracking

potent pivot
#

I have my TWW profile but haven’t changed it since the api changes

severe helm
#

that doesnt interfere with the bars

#

I used threatplates in tww for pvp hahaha

snow harness
#

yall craftin 3x jewlery with the 9x heraldys next reset?

dark kernel
#

Pretty much

severe helm
#

jewelry is kinda bad this season isnt it?

potent pivot
#

Just cuz secondary stats are so low on gear rn?

severe helm
#

yeah I thought secondaries arent as important atm

#

compared to tww where main stat was kinda mid

#

they weirdly adjust the ratio xpac by xpac

#

not sure why

twin burrow
#

tricks i see you mention this addon ayike ui cdm.. do you have any clue why on the top above my portrait there is a string of icons? im not sure how to move these to the right spot

potent pivot
#

I think most will do jewelry just cuz that’s what they’ve been doing for 2 expacs now

#

9 heraldries and they cost 3ea so it just gets your jewelry out of they way, and they come with a socket

#

Whether that’s the best idea or not idk

#

We’re going to end up in the same place regardless

molten hedge
snow harness

is main stat king? i have no idea the differenc between main stat / 2ndary ratios

@potent pivot u still rockin assa or u sub ?

im hoping this is my 2nd season of glad, i think with the 2300 change i can get it

twin burrow
#

i see its linked to the frame

potent pivot
twin burrow
#

hmm idk if i like that. can i change it?

analog tapir
stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

you aren't using the playerframe from the addon

twin burrow
#

idk how to even bring up addon interfaces anymore

potent pivot
#

this is what pve player/target frames look like

#

thats what a lot of pve'rs use

twin burrow
#

i see

#

will it tarnish my pvp

potent pivot
#

i wouldn't recommend it simply because it can be weird to look at enemy buffs/debuffs, you don't see a BigDebuffs thing over enemy portraits, etc

jaunty osprey

jaunty osprey

need to look into stuff

i havent looked at anything

potent pivot

i think Arcanoweave will be bis

which goes on gear

potent pivot

unless he's talking about a different wep one but idk the others are kinda shit

craggy silo
#

Should sub beat frost mage now or is it a lost cause? Asking for a friend.

sullen spindle
#

Maybe a silly question since I've been out of the game for a while, but on the sub side, with subterfuge lasting 4 seconds, is the trick to have a cancel aura macro when trying to get into shadowdance for burst? I find the 4 seconds to be a boon when burst is on cd, but a detriment while it's available

outer sky
#

Speaking of frost mage, I love this damage threshold they have for breaking CC now

#

Ill just die 100-0 to Ray of Frost while sitting a root that doesnt break the entire time

#

Shits so cooked

potent pivot
severe helm
#

wait subt is shorter for sub rogues?

#

thought it was still 6 on assa/outlaw yeah?

molten hedge
#

It’s shorter

#

Like 2 secs iirc

proven field
molten hedge
#

Ray having 2 charges that can damn near kill you solo no way it doesn’t get nerfed in the next month

snow harness
#

mage feels kinda hard in a 1v1 situation as a rogue tbh, cause they can blink your stuns, they got two novas and two blocks, its quite difficult once you use all your steps

molten hedge
#

In 3s I don’t even waste stuns on them

proven field
#

mage anti rogue

craggy silo
#

yea, they did the same bullshit last exp too, it got dumbster nerfed and arcane was the only playable spec

molten hedge
#

I just gouge them and let my dps fear or poly them so I can kill the rog or healer

proven field
#

ray is getting a nerf in 12.0.5, losing one charge

molten hedge
#

Interesting

sullen spindle
# potent pivot why would you need to cancelaura it?

believe it or not, this solved it for me. I was still using the backstab/shadowdance macro from TWW for danse procs... and because of the backstab, it was preventing me from using shadowdance during the 4 seconds of subterfuge

craggy silo
#

they only need one pepeLaff

proven field
outer sky
severe helm
#

frost dk blinding sleet was like this forever too

#

could literally do like the first 3 glboals of their go before it broke

potent pivot
#

it's not good

#

we don't backstab in dance and we want our first global in dance to be a finisher if you don't have to cheap

#

you should be able to cast dance just fine even if subterfuge is up

Unstable Affliction: Afflicts the target with (251.967% of Spell Power) Shadow damage over 8 sec. Multiple uses of this ability may overlap.
If dispelled, deals [(62.9917% of Spell Power) * 4136 / 100] damage to the dispeller and silences them for 4 sec.
This damage is increased by 15% per stack on the target.

#

Assa aff stonks up? Lol

The damage from them dispelling stacks 15% per stack

potent pivot

i'll probably have a gearing guide up

molten hedge
#

This is why affi is a joke in PvP bc all your dam is spam dispelled

potent pivot
#

jewelry seems very lackluster this season

molten hedge
#

But if a healer can get globaled and be in a silence, it will be really bad for them to dispel at times

severe helm
#

imagine being an spriest

vocal surge
severe helm
#

what about the formula

vocal surge
#

Multiplied by 4136

molten hedge
#

Yeah i wasn’t referring to the formula

severe helm
#

4136/100

molten hedge
#

The backlash has always been about 20% of someone’s health since I’ve played aff

vocal surge
#

Those numbers are crazy high lol

#

I wonder how they settled on that

severe helm
#

deals [(62.9917% of Spell Power) * 4136 / 100] -> = 2605%

#

thats how its always been though right?

vocal surge
#

Already done the math for it

#

Its just that they use 4136 as its multiplier

severe helm
#

oh like it feels abitrary?

vocal surge
#

Yeee

severe helm
#

they probably multiplied it

vocal surge
#

Weird even

severe helm
#

from some previous value

#

their shit is so jank

vocal surge

Yeeee

Spaghetti math lol

in pve they're running hunt but its weird because it procs different stats based on target, void procs vers only

arcanoweave procs main stat with higher uptime

than the wep ones

Both pretty much use it for pve

potent pivot

arcanoweave goes on leather slots, procs 44agi with 53% uptime

#

hunt procs 85 secondary stat with 30% uptime

spring bough
#

Yeah sounds like I just made up my mind lol

potent pivot

double arcano would be 53% uptime on 88agi basically

thats what i think is the play personally

jaunty osprey

Yes

#

You have 12 seconds of improved garrote

#

aka 12 seconds of silencing

#

molten hedge

And garrote silence also has a debuff right

Makes them do less damage or something

We review and fix Venruki's Midnight PvP tier list, then predict which specs Blizzard will buff and nerf before Season 1 starts on March 17th. Covers melee, ranged DPS, and healer predictions, including likely nerfs to Unholy DK, Sub Rogue, Mistweaver, and Void Weaver Disc Priest, plus expected buffs to Arms Warrior, Resto Shaman, and more.

Its burst was about as good as subs burst every shadow dance

Instead of 2 charges on a 20s CD

And obviously a lot less CC

really wish they would just remove cheat death from the game. I hate when its the go to talent on that node because I vastly prefer elusiveness, it's also super buggy, and I hate when other rogues have that shit lmfao

#

@potent pivot Whats the weapon enchant we're supposed to run other than chain?

keen fractal
molten hedge
outer sky
#

maybe a little teeny tiny bit

#

but if it is at all thats just because assa is using badge on their kingsbane go

ocean thunder
#

Though assa has the option to just burst and not stun which is an extra enven

outer sky
ocean thunder
#

I think that if you a) stack amplify for 2 x envenom b) hold energy then you can do a good kingsbane go which can be even better KB is not dispelled
The 2 x envenoms plus KB will hit quite hard

#

The difference is that sub can potentially kindey healer and burst dps with cheapshot stun

outer sky
#

Condition A isnt reliable enough to plan for

#

Especially when the alternative is open your spellbook and respec sub and do the same shit for half the effort and have more CC

ocean thunder
#

Yeah i agree on that, assa is more like 'stars aligned and i won' sub is much more versatile in this case
Though i hate it that after dance you are pretty much useless

#

if we kept rupture there would be at least something to do

outer sky
outer sky
#

the only thing about it that was kinda nice is if you ran out of dance charges when your kill target was at like 2% rupture could finish them off

ocean thunder
#

i dont disagree that it fits to keep it only for assa, it's just weird after playing assa for so many seasons not to have housekeeping to do between goes

outer sky
ocean thunder
#

Yeah because assa damage profile was garrote >> rupture, which in turn gave you the ability to control burst through vanish -> garrote pumps. RIP now

u either run WM+1pt in Finality or PV+Rotten

#

it won't make a real difference

outer sky
#

with Finality nerfed 50% in pvp thats probably not worth

potent pivot
#

and personally i like the big strikes more

outer sky
#

id rather have the 10% strike damage

snow harness
#

yea big strikes r nice

potent pivot
snow harness
#

thats why i wanna use weaponmaster but nothing is worth swapping

potent pivot
#

you will do similar damage with either combination

i wonder how assa will feel in 2s with a healer

potent pivot
snow harness
#

it feels not bad in skrims

#

It's really hard for me to understand Outlaw pvp - I thought this was the spec that could toe to toe and brawl a bit more but I'm getting shredded a bit

potent pivot
#

idk how bicmex has it behind a damn pay wall when sammers made it open source

outer sky
#

Damn

severe helm
outer sky
#

it uses msi

#

wont work for my friend I dont think

#

he has a mac

snow harness
#

man i was wondering about that lol

#

my stun icon is a concuss...

#

who needs drs anyway, just spam that stun and if they are immune try again in a lil bit

potent pivot
severe helm
potent pivot
#

Just throwing that out there

severe helm
#

is it like doing some backdoor shit?

potent pivot
#

Because it’s an external program afaik so I can’t vouch for it in any way

severe helm
#

aaaaaaah

potent pivot
#

Sammers has been in the community a while now so I highly doubt there’s anything malicious, just take a peek at the code first ig

severe helm
#

yeah I figure its just changing the game files though im pretty sure thats technically against tos

#

like jmorph

potent pivot
#

It shouldn’t technically be tos

#

There are plenty of icon packs thousands of people use

severe helm
#

oh true

potent pivot
#

Like clean icons/mechagnome thing

#

It’s basically on the same level as replacing your games font folder with the font you want

#

Which I think is how some people still have custom damage number fonts? Like Kush

snow harness
#

what does infused helitrop do, just got from a pvp cache

#

is this the socket thing?

potent pivot
snow harness
#

does 1 create 1 socket or do u need multiple

outer sky
snow veldt
#

is there a specific talent build we should be running for things like M0s? Kinda doing my own thing RN since i'm in gearing up limbo but am wondering if there is something more optimal. Having low haste feels bad but that seems true at the start of most xpaks

potent pivot
snow veldt
#

oh thank you i just realized i was in the wrong thread.

#

Dx

potent pivot

#

I did a search and for some reason it brought me to pvp lol

snow harness
#

btw, fury warrior with uptime is insane in pvp dont let anyone fool u

#

i faced a war tonight that 2v3d me on my hunter he was with a mw and he was doing the most damage i ever seen

#

or no i was on my ret actually

#

or maybe im just bad but he was pumping lol and mw heals kept him up

outer sky
#

Warrior? High uptime?

#

What is this Wrath?

#

Idk if warrior has ever been more miserable to play

#

Even with high uptime their damage isnt that scary

#

Especially arms

#

But now every time you connect theres a CC answer

#

One thing ive noticed about this game is that generally speaking when warrior is at least A tier the meta usually feels pretty good.

#

Warriors play a vital role in the wow arena ecosystem

#

If theyre good that means they have decent uptime and scary damage which keeps the casters at bay

#

Without warrior the casters rise up and dominate us all

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

yeah fury will melt into melee cleaves

outer sky
#

And arms is also more fun to play

stoic spruce
#

pvp pops say otherwise

outer sky
#

I haven't played a ton of warrior as of late but every time I have ive thought arms was more fun

stoic spruce
#

theyre equal imo

outer sky
#

And the arms warrior fantasy is more alluring to me than the fury warrior one

#

For what thats worth

stoic spruce
#

none more fun than the other

severe helm
#

a mount addon?

potent pivot
#

then i'll show you

severe helm
#

oh

is this to mount all your multi box units

"an ingame feature you simply just dont know about"

why does everyone say arms is ass but bajheera is smashing folks

its okay to say it

His words not mine

severe helm

"literal worst spec in the game" hahaha

#

he hates outlaw lolol

outer sky
#

Its also just so bad rn he may not even be exaggerating

severe helm
#

I mean hes playing it very wrong

stoic lava
#

slow grapple and no spammable cheapshot 😭

severe helm
#

but yeah its not great

stoic lava
#

I weep

severe helm
#

its bad but not for the reasons he saw lol

stoic spruce
#

wow hes playing it bad

rough rock
#

he did no zero in procs

outer sky
rough rock
#

just fired off bte randomly lmao

stoic lava
#

it feels awful but the worst part is it bugs so mcuh more often now

#

I like only play bgb these days so its like

#

5x sad

stoic spruce
#

wdym

#

youll feel it more in arena

potent pivot
#

there's still hope imo

stoic spruce
#

where you have to grapple to kick or cc

outer sky
severe helm
#

thats how outlaw works

#

it does no damage and hopes you die

outer sky
#

I mean when it had fast grapple, CDR on vanish and evasion, and spammable cheap shot it could do meh damage and be alright

#

But now?

#

That shit needs to crank

#

And calm didnt crank

gusty hedge
#

OMEGAKEKW OMEGAKEKW fckn pikaboo shits always funny he's not wrong thogarf_sit

stoic lava
#

especially when like fcing and stuff

stoic spruce
#

youll cross the bg in 6.5 seconds instead of 6

#

youll be fine

gusty hedge
outer sky
#

I queued skirms with Verm the other day and ofc he was playing outlaw and I swear every time he hooked i thought I was lagging out

dark moon
#

New meta - hook to dc people in hopes of win

outer sky
gusty hedge
severe helm
#

always has been

stoic spruce
#

you can doom about not being good idc but at least be realistic

severe helm
#

popo=poop

#

grapple is a lot slower

#

outlaw is not nearly as mobile

stoic spruce
#

you act like we wont have 4 grapples and sprint still

severe helm
#

it also doesnt have the cdr to actually reduce grapple

#

ALSO grapple cd is longer now

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

yes

#

sprint

#

for FC

severe helm
#

ALSO it doesnt have the ER bug to abuse to get cdr while just randomly moving around

#

cus they moved supercharger to adr

outer sky
#

The fuck good is sprint when you've got a perma 80% concussive shot slow on you

stoic spruce
#

and fast grapple would prevent that?

#

get a grip

severe helm
#

ALSO you dont have vanish to remove roots as often

stoic lava
severe helm
#

ALSO you have to pick between extra move speed and stam

stoic lava
#

its cheeks

stoic spruce
#

you get CCd regardless of speed

severe helm
#

ALSO you barely have points to even take reduced grapple cd and it competes with longer range short cd blind

stoic spruce
#

these problems were here before

severe helm
#

when its faster

#

you cant get cced during

#

which stops the grapple

stoic lava
#

^

severe helm
#

when its slower

#

its easier to cc

outer sky
severe helm
#

during the grapple

#

and stop the movement

#

so its significantly weaker

stoic lava
#

you're talking to the back to back #1 bgb outlaw here Nerdge

#

it sucks trust me

#

but yea its gunna be ass for arena too

#

all that aside it also jsut FEELS bad

#

class fantasy wise

stoic spruce
#

im not saying it doesnt suck lol

stoic lava
#

its just not fun to press

severe helm
#

outlaw is awful both tuning wise and kit/mechanics wise

outer sky
# severe helm and stop the movement

This actually still happened to me with fast grapple. I can't imagine it now. But like id grapple past a priest and somehow get feared on the way it was so tilting

stoic spruce
#

im saying its blown way out of proportion

severe helm
#

it got slower, less tanky, less damage, less burst, less utility, less everything

severe helm
#

happens so often now

outer sky
stoic lava
#

Just feels like outlaw lost its entire identity

severe helm
#

yeah with your btes that hit for 10k

stoic lava
#

They have to make us do giga warrior damage now or its like

severe helm
#

outlaws identity is being weak now

stoic lava
#

whats the point

severe helm
#

thats its whole identity

#

being bad haha

stoic lava
#

I like being a little mobile low damage rat

severe helm
#

it grapples around, tickles you, then sits in a 10s root cuz its only root break is on a 2min cd

stoic lava
#

i mean tbh damage wasnt even that low last season

#

burst was giga

severe helm
#

I thought outlaw had one of the lowest shuffle cutoffs

vocal surge
severe helm
#

yeah they shit on its burst p quick

stoic lava
#

It wasn't that bad

severe helm
#

they HATE when outlaws good

#

so much

stoic lava
severe helm
#

blizz sees outlaw in one awc tourney

#

and they will gut it

vocal surge
severe helm
vocal surge
severe helm
#

outlaw has some very good very dedicated players

stoic lava
#

super not untrue, only a few good outlaws even qued it in shuffle

outer sky
#

Didn't Dazed play it?

severe helm
#

like dazed

#

whos one of the best rogues to ever do it

vocal surge
#

That was 5 coins, btw

stoic lava
#

yea he doesnt care that much about shuffle though

vocal surge
#

2 more were lined up

#

and then boom

stoic lava
#

I mean look at whazz winrates on eu

vocal surge
#

nerf

stoic lava
#

Just saying the gap between the top outlaw sand the middling ones is so much higher thna most specs

severe helm
#

eh im not sure its much different

stoic lava
#

bro it is 😭

severe helm
#

outlaw has a high barrier to entry

#

I think the top of other specs

#

I think its less popular

#

so you have less total good players

#

but the distribution I think swings the other way

#

like there are wars touching r1 shuffle cutoff with highest 3s rating of like 2200

#

I mean there are some specs out there

#

that can brain off their way to the top

stoic lava
#

I mean that's literally what im saying

#

the difference between the actual good outlaws and the okay ones

#

is insane

severe helm
#

in efficacy

#

not skill

#

same with mages

#

and sub rogues

#

and surv hunters

#

and any high skill cap spec

#

the players arent worse

#

the expression is jsut greater

stoic lava
#

What in gods green earth are you saying LOL

severe helm
#

that youre misconstruing efficacy and actual skill

potent pivot
stoic lava
#

How are you defining actual skill

severe helm
#

like if whaaz is playing arms warrior hes gona be better than other arms but not like impossible to beat better than other arms cuz arms isnt that high of a skill cap spec in comparison to whaaz on rogue where the gap is insanely noticeable

potent pivot
#

pretty sure he's a got a lot of r1s as rogue, streams some expansions, has done a couple streams this expac so far but doesn't publish vods

stoic lava
#

calm is really good yea

severe helm
#

hes super OG too

#

been around for a long time p sure

potent pivot
grave basin
#

Calmr is not just really good lol

potent pivot
#

i can name them all on one hand.

stoic lava
#

There's like

#

3-4

severe helm
#

dazed, calm

stoic lava
#

like ACTUAL good outlaws

severe helm
#

trill

#

I mean trill is like

#

good on his team

potent pivot
#

dazed calm trill and whaazz

severe helm
#

but faced him a lot in 2s

gusty hedge
# potent pivot you don't know who calm is?

i dont keep up with any streamers or any brackets of whos on top tbh
really only know the names mentioned or if i played with them ingame like nahj pikaboo . first im hearing of calm😭

stoic lava
#

yea more or less haha

severe helm
#

and trill is not that good in 2s lol

stoic lava
#

And the gap between them and everyone else is like

#

astronomical

severe helm
#

I think trill hasnt been as good at outlaw sin the df s3 rework

#

tbh

#

he was really good in SL

potent pivot
#

there might be 1 or 2 more tourney level outlaws i'm forgetting

#

trimaz is p good

stoic lava
#

trimaz is good yea

severe helm
#

whos the guy on prevs team

#

drake

potent pivot
#

drake yaya

severe helm
#

drake plays outlaw plenty good

grave basin
#

Doctordaggers not even mentioned

potent pivot
#

so 6-7 good outlaws in the world

grave basin
stoic lava
#

avidance is good but I dont know if he shuffles on it really

severe helm
#

hes not

#

on outlaw

stoic lava
#

he's 100% very good at outlaw

severe helm
#

only plays it in blitz

#

hes really not haha

#

he just plays it as a bg spec

grave basin
#

Val not mentioned

severe helm
#

oh yeah val

#

vals def good

potent pivot
grave basin
gusty hedge
#

seen val mostly on sin rarely outlaw in open world

stoic lava
#

I promise you avi could get r1 on outlaw in shuffle at the least

potent pivot
#

shuffle

stoic lava
#

and 3s

potent pivot
#

there is a difference

severe helm
#

even I have r1 outlaw shuffle

potent pivot
#

between good tourney and good ladder

grave basin
#

And?

severe helm
#

I think avi is not on the level of awc outlaw players even remotely

potent pivot
#

like at some point you have to mark a cut off where "best" becomes "they're good"

severe helm
#

hes an overall good player so he could probably learn it eventually

potent pivot
#

you can't have every "good" one be "best"

severe helm
#

but if you just threw him in the ring at this very moment against the other outlaws we named

#

I dont think he would do well

grave basin
#

Kalvish??

severe helm
#

kalvish doesnt count

potent pivot
stoic lava
#

kalvish hates outlaw haha

#

like HATES it

#

I cant get him to paly it in bgb for more than like 1 game

severe helm
#

when did kalvish start doing blitz

potent pivot
#

a while ago now

stoic lava
#

thats 90% of what he does now

severe helm
#

rofl

outer sky
#

They need to make it so that in order to get r1 in shuffle you have to have gotten Legend for the season. That way I wont have to deal with sweaty af tanks in my alt lobbies at the end of every season trying to snipe an r1 slot at a 2k cutoff or some shit

potent pivot
#

tww s1?

severe helm
#

yeah I stopped blitzing by s2 of tww

stoic lava
#

THats how he won AWC, blitz practice ofcourse

severe helm
#

queues too late at night

#

not fun

stoic lava
#

yea its pretty degen

severe helm
#

you can sit r1 on ladder for 80% of the season

#

but then at the end you have to fucking watch streams to see when queues are hot and try to catch high mmr lobbies and fucking queue til 5 am

stoic lava
#

ye its poop

severe helm
#

at this point im not sure I even respect r1 blitz

stoic lava
#

they should time lock ques or something I udnno

#

You shouldnt its not that special

grave basin
#

Its ok rogues only have 1 spec

severe helm
#

its more about manipulating the system

#

than being good

stoic lava
#

I mean

#

99% of people getting it are actualyl good but

#

you have to play the ladder game too

severe helm
#

the number of shit players at the top lobbies in blitz

#

is insane

stoic lava
#

3 slots per spec isn't a lot

outer sky
severe helm
#

not gona name names but

#

there are some fucking healers

stoic lava
#

yea again I said you shouldn't respect it haha

severe helm
#

unbearable

stoic lava
#

not all specs are equal

#

some have really high competition

severe helm
#

also

#

duo queue

#

is not fair

#

delete it

#

frankly

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

get a healer friend

stoic lava
#

LOL

severe helm
#

if I solo queue as outlaw I shouldnt be compared to someone queueing with the most op healer in a season

stoic lava
#

You can get r1 fine without it

#

ive never duod a single game

severe helm
#

yeah you just hafve to work way harder

stoic spruce
#

I never dont duo

stoic lava
#

ye its annoying

severe helm
#

and do all the queue watching bs

outer sky
severe helm
#

its just genuinely so toxic

stoic lava
#

But you get to que with good healers still even without a duo

severe helm
#

you can yeah

stoic lava
#

But yea its very op

severe helm
#

have to know

severe helm
#

the pool is so small

#

you can essentially know ahead of time

#

what the teams are gona be

potent pivot
#

he flames ppl and can be toxic af, yea

severe helm
#

cuz they always pair duo vs duo

#

and try to pair class vs class

outer sky
potent pivot
#

did i ever say i didn't idr

outer sky
potent pivot
#

he is not on crusader's level

stoic lava
#

there's no worse healer to get on your team than ted because he just types the entire game

severe helm
#

LOL

outer sky
#

Let me try and find the messages

severe helm
#

is anyone on crusaders level?

potent pivot
#

lmao

#

guess not

severe helm
potent pivot
#

idk teddy can be hilarious

severe helm
#

I hate flag maps

#

so much

stoic lava
severe helm
#

way way way way way too much value

#

on your fc

potent pivot
#

and he outed HELLA people that bought r1 win trades and pilots last season

severe helm
#

like you get two priests as your healers

stoic lava
#

yea Fc maps are doggy in high bgb

potent pivot
#

i respect that

severe helm
#

and they get a dragon monk

#

and you just leave

stoic lava
#

you hope for the good pres

severe helm
#

its so boring

#

genuinely bgb is just not designed to be fair in a competitive sense

stoic lava
#

EHHHH I mean

#

people abuse every ladder in one way or another

potent pivot
#

best spec to push galactic warlord title guys???

severe helm
#

theres WAYYY too much value on how and when you queue

#

over how well you play

potent pivot
#

bear form??

stoic lava
#

thats for sure

severe helm
#

0/10

stoic lava
#

They should lock ques to like

#

6pm->2am or something

#

then shut them off rofl

outer sky
#

Ok I found it @potent pivot can I post this?

stoic lava
#

I probably wont play this season just because I cant stay up that late again

severe helm
#

or maybe YOU LOSE RATING IF YOU DONT ACCEPT

#

fucking degens

potent pivot
#

if i said it in here its prolly fine

severe helm
#

but you have to be the best tank spec

#

otherwise youre gona hvae to dodge a lot

#

cuz if bear is weak

stoic lava
#

tank specs are okay to push with but they have the most wintraders

severe helm
#

and blood is giga

#

then you have to dodge the bloods

#

I think the best thing to push as is probably the worst healer spec

#

so like holy priest

#

was free a lot of seasons

#

when it was bad

stoic lava
#

WW is a good thing topush

#

there's only 1 good WW

#

the rest are all paid mmr coat tailers

severe helm
#

yeah weird specs like surv too

stoic lava
#

Its gum and nothing

severe helm
#

I mean thats the issue with unpopular specs

stoic lava
#

yea I wish I had more time I shoulda got r1 on survival last season

severe helm
#

is some people will just queue it for the free r1 by duoing with their meta healer friends

stoic lava
#

Tbh 80% of blitz is game knowledge not how good you are at the spec but
