I hit a 2.7M Slam today as colo
Imagine if WW was actually a real button and one could pick up FoB
Colo would even go Cleave
I actually just 6-0 my first rsham lobby ever and I’m pissed
I don’t want mmr
I want conq boxes lmfao
Make every crate after the first one give you like 10 conquest or some shit for no reason
I wouldn’t put it past them
Forged is such a cool title
That I don’t have
They owe us a banger after this prized shit
I thought forged was neato for plate.
Idk what prized is.
Need some crusader larp title for s3 if arathi or ethereal if brokers or w/e
then dont go with the bear fam, pick a panther or a tiger
or a wolf
in fact, bears are suspiciouslly sneaky in the woods
what bear?
what
craft weapons or leave weapons as is?
I heard we're switching to bleed build for arms? Fake news?
That's what the bleed cartel wants you to think
I'll try it and see. Btw I had a mental breakdown and racechanged from gnome to void elf because I couldn't stand being a midget for another second
gnome has no business being 1 minute in the first place
I'm fruity and you're seething
fullset andy what u gonna do about it
This u?
if you mean fist of fury yes
is it a big dam power or just buffs something else that actually deals damage?
oh wait, nvm. Forgot I'm playing enh right now. Ignore FoF parry
just realized it's a perfect time to ghost wolf and just walk out
same as demolish
u can barely walk out lole th fof slow is like 90% isnt it
hey guys! for Cataclysm Classic PvP, what is the usual priority sequence when purchasing honor gear?
when they can follow you
doggo can't be slowed
oh good rend still isn't worth
@boreal veldt No? what build is meta
these puns
idk, i don't like rend though
Bruh I just tried rend colossus build and it felt like shit. Maybe i'm just bad tho? In solo shuffle against another arms war, I did way less dmg. Switched back to slayer build and we did identical dmg
me after rolling coin back into raid when RL says "hunter ffs get coin"
Buff woulda had to of been like 200% boof
Apparently I'm rank 22 enh shaman in 2v2
there is like what, 28 playing enh on x2 on eu
soar higher
almost 400
Almost gave 2.5 conq on sham and I’ll start grinding
I’m @ like 1900
Spammed ss as resto
Accidentally did well first 2 games so mmr was higher than I wanted so it’s taking longer to get conq
in shuff?
You know when you hit the goal and I have to deliver, you'll have about a thousand questions on how to set up all those addons to display the stuff right, right?
You're creating more work for yourself
@fickle forge
Yea lol
Addons are easy it’s fine
@fickle forge
@fickle forge
Kargish? Karanze? Never heard of them.
@fickle forge
@fickle forge
well
isnt that some sort of threesome, ask her to bring a friend.
one in the mouth and one from behind
damn thats 2 guys, slap her back to the kitchen
since its reverse interpret it as one pussy sittin on ur face while one is ridin you
your perspective of what it is thats all that matter
you should only play 2s with your wife
I think i'll tell her to stick with 2s
Just throw, ez.
All my teammates do it 
It's basically a 4some in 2s where we take turns pegging each other
that's two characters today
and methylanadwaejalkejw barely got his shaman up so far
playing rsham
my second warrior that i use for blitz is fucking stuck in elo hell, every single game i play with bots not real people im sure ofit
if there's bots on your team, there's bots on their team
the common denominator is me
guess im the biggest bot
gotta throw on some mobb deep and zug zug harder
if you AB/Gilneas you can carry pretty easy just mount up and cap bases. ppl at low rating dont even know how the timers work on ab
Be the bot you want to fight
i be getting into ctf all the time and my whole team be sittin on our FC and im alone at EFC
warr is one of the harder classes to carry on tho
but one of the only classes i enjoy
brother be having 3 paladins and 3 warriors
tried every melee but dont feel the vibe
@copper fox my list of alts is getting ever longer
yh i dont really like blitz on my warrior as it just feels rng on teams around 2k rating. maybe gets better higher but its just not competitive
chill on my rogue though
might try to do blitz on my rogue ive neglected for too long
2 war, 3 enh, sub, survival, feral, hpal, mw
it's fine, slayer is a little worse off and the rend buff doesn't really change much for colossus but we still truckin
but some ppl reroll on patch notes lol
maybe i should hop on my ally arms instead of tilting over blitz
many rerolling dk so the average skill of remaining players will go up
is dk actually good after buffs?
ended up in gilneas, tried to carry capped 4 times but holy shit the team rotate so god damn slow we lost
dk main issue was survivability and they just had their only survivability doubled
and then got big dam buffs on top
oof
i hate having this buff then randomly get dismounted from flying because of a bounty
doin the lord's work killin gnomes
incredible
no

correct, it's not good. It's great
seen at least two streamers so far showcase amazing burst and they hid their ratings so you know it's legit OP
my thoughts on death strike buffs:
I'm loving this
means you won't disarm my burst
enh always
haven't met a rogue yet who didn't buckle 3 seconds after running out of overlapping defensives
Lol
the change was good
execute is rly nerfed now tho
doesnt hit above 3mil anymo
so ur not getting random cheese oneshots
which is good
it got rid of all the noobs
you should hit me with it
I've been hit by 5.5m so 15% will only take around 1m off
Warrior is now the worst melee in the game lmao
Flokk when do you queue 2s on EU
Besides my class DH
Flokk is asia server
worse than DK?
DK is OP
Don’t let them gaslight you
The only good warrior I’ve faced is that Franziskaner guy
Are warriors even good
Grimgrip is also good but I haven’t seen him in a long time
Chicago is good on enhance
the thing is it's 15% pre-modifiers so the nerf to top end execute dmg is far higher than 15%
not how modifiers work
its 1m damage now
skip execute and start slammin'
might as well roll over and give up or play SMF THANE
u need fatality now
fatality wasnt nerfed.... this is big for warrior
i miss 40-0ing people man
:/
sighs
you should play enh
@haughty jewel basically what you're asking for
Im convinced Flokk is fucking blazed out of his mind 24/7
Wouldn't you be too if you played warrior ?
He shitposts way too much for someone who is sober
Just don’t leave fury and it’s gg
i think smexxin doent like playing fury
so he killed it at the top end
by nerfing slaughterhouse
it doesnt effect the nooby noobs
but it killedi t in high arena
yeah
Type shit
he's making sense lol
ss spec only
fury is dead
guys what should i spec in to slam or execute
Slam type shii
Yeah but he is also 90% shitposting
Am i misunderstanding rogue, can I not stealth while shadowdancing?
lmao
this video is why addons are getting banned
my soulmate
idk how they could do it but i wish specs had their own 2s or 3s ladder
same with keys
feels bad when its like hey man literally no reason to play this spec anymore soz
Same
q into legi tlike 2 unholy dks a season because the spec is just ass
Broe
i'd be fine with that.
Delete it all
if hots been alive despite no update for years
GET RID OF IT ALL
idk if wow ever goin offline
I dont mean no updates
i queued with him and he targted me and asked why his warr was an animal
The boomer target reticle addon
I mean fully delete remove m
Lmfao
it's D2 and D3 are testbeds for how blizzard will "shut down" games
Also overwatch 2 testing how player base responds to converting game engines
Games don’t die
Only we do
Think about that
We will all die before these blizzard servers do
Wildstar died
this is getting pretty philosophical for a warrior dc
Blizzard *
lmao
that looks pretty moreish
Wildstar was stillborn
Huge
i bet arena and meth go together pretty well
locked tf in
I love this
casually pve for a few months get perscribed stim play 100 rounds of shuff in a day hrm
Is that m3th
amphetamines and gaming goes well together
crack
Oh thank god
haha, crack lasts how long compared to amphetamines?
what build should i play? seems to be a couple different versions
Amphetamines are better
adderal is an amphetamine
it's a mix, right?
depends on which one u get
but ya its an amphetamine
i beleive all of it is amphetamine
Yeah adderall is just. A brand
I don’t know anyone who gets actual adderall brand. All my friends get some generic amphetamine salts. I have not seen an adderall since like 2010
dextroamphetamine is the good one
adderal mixes d and l amphetamines
if u get just d its mainly only mental side effects and low physical
so ur grindset becomes insane
was going to say the same thing
L Amphetamine literally just jacks up your heartrate and gives you anxiety
its dumb and pointles
but iguess for some lazy asses it helps them getu p and feel more alive or something
which one is elvanse?
d amphetamine
and is that dumb or good?
thats the good one
it takes away the clean your whole house vibes
and makes it so youre more locked in mentally
good for computer work
or gaming
l amphetamine is good for cleaning your whole house or even lifting
It's funky but i swear it's like I both feel stronger when lifiting but also less motivated
it's like elvanse broke whatever in my brain felt good about lifting
what do i put in the text field to make weakaura do math for me?
it's just hallucinating a button that doesn't exist..
it's dumb
i just want to know how many crates left but I'm not going to tell it that
lift on a drug thats a vasoconstrictor? uff we playing dangerous game.
7700 is the cap
it's what it takes to buy a full set
well it's less, since you need at least one win in instanced content to get your heraldry quest
so 128.33
yes
125 epic bg
375 if you REALLY win ashran
epic bg wins guarantee heraldries
- an epic bg win
but I did all this math already
I just want a weakaura that tells me how many more crates i need
I would prefer to not see that number ngl lmfao
I'm down to 22 crates
my current crate group has been mine since like 10 this morning
If you just GAMBLE it
I gambled on my hunter
I got 4 pieces + weapon
tier pieces*
went from like 7700 to cap to less than 4k
actually i got two weapons, both ranged and polearm
or staff or w/e
I’ve just been buying full honor then qing ss / bgb
And placement 2s
Instant gear
Way faster than crates
It's not about fast
it's about putting in more work to avoid less work
You don't have ADD you wouldn't get it
We all have that lmfao
If you don't make it your entire identity, do you really have it?
people think i do crate farm to get conq without pvp'ing
but secretly I do it to beat 39 other people in a race to a specific place
and they don't even know they're losing every time
OOF
What are the most important stats for Slayer Fury Warrior?
The respec arms stat
It’s a prot angle moving forward ngl
stacking
more prots please
easier to farm than arms
can't spell farm without arm(s)
i was playing skirmishes with a prot pali before, all the top ones on murlok are his. im sure he's the only prot pala
like to get 2600 rating you need to better than 10 other ppl or some shit
maybe prot is the play...
m8
prot pala is the supremely most popular choice for boosting
and wintrading
definitely he doesn't have all the prot palas
gotta take cialis to counteract it

What's everyone using for corruption
Is it an awfully stupid idea to play Fury without Onslaught but rather OF nowadays?
Also unsure if Unbridled Ferocity is just a point trap, 6% is a rather low proc chance
Skill Capped 📉
i'm sorry what?
upset you aren't a writer for them?
LOL
Skill Capped are b(i)ased.
I could be
no
"Hey Mud wants to be a writer for skill-capped, can you DM him?"
"Mud who?"
They use my content in their vids already breh
haha
yeah I'm just playin'
because i tried to show my wife I talk to someone famous and then couldn't find you on the ladder
I'm not upset about that at all
Jesus, Zercher are you "impressing" your wife by talking with someone online about a game?
if it works it works
:))))
amphetamines constrict your bloodvessels, so your heart will have to work much harder to be as effective.
Is that why I'm running out of breath when trying to train on elvanse?
why is that dangerous?
Heart attack?
isn't heart attacks caused by the heart itself not getting enough blood?
Pretty sure my psychiatrist would have mentioned not to train while taking amphetamines. He cared a lot that I'm a bulky man but drilled into me not to drink soda or anything with vitamin-C an hour before and after taking the pills
So does being fat
Reading about the potential negative side effects (sudden death) of the pills I took a few minutes ago
Yep, goodbye shuffle healing
I'm right at home I can clearly see that now
🤮
in simple terms, yes. but you can overstrain your heart from using uppers and working out.
If you have a psychiatrist this is information you should give him/her and do a echocardiogram while you are working out (arbetsekg) in swedish
Ye, that might be cause for concern LMAO
Amphetamines in some people also have a tendency to lead to anxiety, it could just be anxiety while your working out. the body is complicated but you should really check it out, i've lost my breath due to anxiety on elvanse
a normal EKG wont show anything if it happens while you work out
Also get a DEXA scan, bloodworks and something to do with my liver or kidneys?
need to pedal like crazy on a bike in the hospital for 30minutes during ekg to be sure its nothing harmful (which it most of the time isnt) but with the heart you shouldnt take chances
when i was younger(in my 20s) i took steroids and worked out on elvanse and overstrained my heart, had to rest for almost a year and had my lifes worst experience
I'm only getting elvanse and test
I’ve been trying to OD on stims during workouts for years
weak genetics maybe i dont know what happened
more trenbolone
finally rogue done
ive done it on two chars man it was hell for me, i dont have alot of patience
survival needs around 1k more to be done
feral needs 3k but i've done like 3 crates on it, rest was just playing
How do i make my screen look like this wtf hahahaah
there's also some gold to be made doing crates
yeah obviously i lack the intellectual capacity to swing by the AH and check it out
it's the cheap ones that don't sell, for obvious reasons
I knew a guy who had a heart attack off one scoop of C4
Lucky
did his heart explode?
i can always try and retrieve some sold items thru blizzard
I think I drank two bangs or c4s at one point and actually htought I was gonna have a heart attack
I’ve taken in like 500 mgs of caffeine a day for over a decade and I’m fine
But some people are hyper sensitive
mix it with taurine and u can push those rookie numbers way way up without negative effects
almost like a mild amphetamine rush
I just hadn't exercised or eaten anything which is why I felt awful.
always good to know that taurine can counteract some negative jittery effects from caffeine if u happen to take alot more by accident
I'll have like one monster sometimes didn't notice the other drinks had like double the caf
I wonder if AWC teams get blitzed on Adderall before they play
Is wow really that kind of game
would be nice if someone had a panic attack due to the adrenaline+adderall
Like I guess I'm on a low dose but stims don't rly make me play better they just make me wanna play.
All of the info you have to instantaneously process and react too
On top of that you’re playing good players
yeah i would and i dont even like uppers
i remember id queue into thie one chinese team that was rly slowe about everything they did reactively but in terms of like macro use of cds and kiting and w/e it made the lack of reactivitynot matter
I took adderall during BfA to do horrific visions
huh
Yeah with all the masks
u could like solo visions with 2 afk buyers
I just wanted to get them done really fast
like i just did 8 mask run with 2 orbs left with third used right before thrall with an almost full sanity bar
and i was like snackin in my run
cos its not rly a race
its where you use stuff and where you go or w/e
I was a lot worse at the game back then lol
its like the meme about being dumb faster
watching a friend play and hes like 500 apm
and every keystroke is wrong
ya i had shooting hand pain in cata so i changed my keyboard habits and been fine since
I was a fury warrior main back then
Trying to PvP as fury
i had to change my habits too but now my right hand keeps getting a ganglion on it whenever i play alot
there are instances in which spam can be good or fine like if u reaching for cc on somebody first like going in for hoj
gotta smash it like once a month
but we have spell queue now on rotational
500 apm does same dmg at 50 apm
this has been the case since like
mop
back in like cata or w/e u had a gap between buttons so spamming was legit op
ive played since vanilla and i didnt even know we had it
so u know when u press a button after another and
sometimes it like goes off if you press something else
Yeah I used to freak out spamming buttons and running around my opponent in circles
Realized I don’t really need to do that anymore
gonna try mash a little less next time i do ss
i use bolt as example because if you have a queued ability itll sometimes go off first and you'll be like aaaa i was in global
but you kind of werent you just had another abilty already set to cast
its not like giga huge but def a subtle thing
this will most likely be healthy for my wrist
nice man i appreciate this info haha
prior to mop or whenever they added it you had to actually giga spam
and you could get like
5-10%+ more casts
so you'd just passively crush people
with more casts
idr the script that shows your threshold but some people i recall had theirs set to 400
so you'd actually nerf your dmg
inversely a lot of people learned of this and turned their window to 0
which meant unless ur a literal bot it will be a dps loss
cos no qing
anyways 
keep your wrists and tendons safe friends
definetly something i should have been atleast noticing enough to start google if there was a queue lol
but this is great since i have some issues with my wrist
last seas my hands kind of hurt and i ended up playing like 8% haste fury with powerful enrage
which ended up actually feelin great cos every global was like 25% of a dudes health
im gonna log on in 20min and try it on a training dummy and check it out
literally me
just how high haste? Even at 100% haste I don't feel that on my shaman
sometimes just gotta slow down
but might just be my head is literally as laggy as the game
I mean I win arenas but I can't explain how or why
erm not sure i just know i start to have issues in lust with like 40% base haste on fury if i dont play powerful
I'm pretty sure the one game where the arms went sudoku the enemy team could visually see how stunned I was over getting a kill
I swear I remember having 130%+ haste in fury at one point in pve
its bcuz biggus mcdickus u know
I'm enhancement
so you have enhanced pp
There's no explanation for wins
What's the opposite of enhanced?
I have a modified pp
disenhanced? hahaha
my english is way to bad to know
i have not met many enh that crush though
I mean i win because of pure luck and being carried by my wife
what is wife for if not for carrying their husband ❤️
this is my current favorite kill at 2k mmr
i guess we need to nerf another 15% to arms execute , can see he almost beat u
He beat me on damage and be even stole my kill
is enh alot of apm? its the only melee i didnt check out
no clue
I have this weakaura but I don't ever look at it when the info i would want is there
its useles
But I can say this, I can hit the GCD cap if there's a pet team
means nothing
enh is kinda supportish so maybe it will suit me
me on prot
I think apm alone isn't the big deal, it's whether the next action is predictable or depends on the result of your current action
And in that regard, enh is a bit of a nightmare but not really thanks to some talents
Like I can get MSW refund on a lightning bolt / tempest which naturally means I'd want to cast another one, but after doing a lightning bolt I generally queue up a stormstrike. Usually that's bad, but at least in pve the advice is to still do a stormstrike even if MSW capped if you got the MSWcap from refund
Idk, it's a lot of words and I don't read
ive been a bit skeptical due to juggling with totems alone
I don't really use my totems
but i dont have a wife to carry me
we just use PI with bloodlust
And then we're back to "I'm being stupid but I'm stupid really fast"
one of the rare kills where I've actually used cooldowns to kill
what rating is it?
rarely use cds to kill seems like its a fun 2s combo u play
This is the match i linked
and the top one is the one that got her to 1950 CR, which is 1) better than I've ever achieved in 2v2 and also her best ever
you should feel lucky man, im a bit jealous
this is a match where my ascendance ended below the red line
enh is super fun, and that's all i care about
What a cursed world
is this good or bad?
is this good or bad?
I just want the kids out of the house so we can play without being suddenly interrupted by crying kids right in the middle of 70%+ dampening
Hahaha, arena > kids, nothing can come close to the thrill of pvp in wow
incredible to decline someone an entire pvp talent
i got my purple bike and just logged out until end of season push

I don't understand
You aren't supposed to cast it
isn't he playing 69d chess by hardcasting it to bait kicks so he can freecast cyclones?
maybe he just really badly wanted to cast starfire?
I can't decide what I should play for honor run
No cheese
theme builds like me? or just builds in general?
I do like thematic things more in general
None of that 10 bard 1 pala yada yada 1 shot shit
How do you feel about the trick to get a permanent shadowblade?
You can still do this build without, you'll just have to do specific shit to get arabella's ring and then be stuck with the ring
There was a dude on here who gave up his family basically for PvP
Full send Way of the Shadow, shadowblade mainhand, plus the thingy that gives psychic damage vuln
Name was Bruin
He would crash out a lot
It was funny
if that doesn't tickle your fancy, how about trying out the classic 3e prestige class: blackguard
I miss Bruin
it's a heavy armor wearing thing that swings a 2h weapon but deals sneak attacks
I was thinking shadow sorcerer, ranger/fighter or necromancer
Very basic ik
Larethian's wrath early game, late game dancing breeze
tbh death domain cleric 12 is fun as heck
Maybe it's just Hexblade again...
Can go shadow sorc 1 death domain 11 if you want a bit more flavour
Ye I tried that it is
EK12 is more fun than hexblade12 so far. Granted I always nerf my companions over my durge
there's paladin 6(/7) rest into war cleric too
it doesn't sound like it'll work but it does
I tried this items mod, forgot it's name but it's front page on mods you should check it out
Adds bunch of decent loot to the game for you to find
still playing modless until i have all achievements
For all types of builds
Fair
my next restriction will be to mimic attunement
max equip 3 blue+ items with names
everything else has to be mundane or unnamed
Interesting idea lol
But if you want ranger, you should do a beast master ranger with heavy armor, crossbow expert, sharpshooter, who walks into battle next to his pets and just shoots people point blank
I have no idea if it works but it sounds fun
I wanna do something based off Aragon if I do ranger
Melee ranger
Not optimal at all probably lest I run some gimmick sword
stranger is kind of cool
if you can access shillelagh somehow you'll be the belle of the ball dualwielding torches for a long time
You can do astarion origin as a vampire build
Spore druid astarion, pick only spells that match vampire abilities. Almost everything spore druid gets for free or can access via druid makes sense from a vampire point of view:
Can turn into a mist, can turn into wolves, can read minds, raise the dead, can summon a fog, can charm and command beasts, curse contagion confusion
enhanced body: Jumping, running, literally enhanced ability
Conjure elemental is strong but requires strong flavour: You raise the soil from a grave
i uninstalled bg3, game is fucking heavy
and got me divinity2
will try out when i dont have internet
does shattering throw removes blessing of protection
@fierce elm
ye or at least it used to
bop bubble block
it does
optimal
misssing a little bit of cheese
good, cause 18 seconds of immunity against a paladin is fucking shite
he still lost though 
CHEESE lol
2100 is enchant appearance right?
y
enchant is dogchit
is this how you answer people irl too lmfao
"Hey where is the toilet?"
"Toilet is dogshit"'
@fierce elm
So are you
from pvp enchant is 1950, weapons are 2.1
god I fucking hate that they changed it
and now I don't know which is which
but that is correct
1950 is such an ugly reward rating
it should be something for each hundread, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and so on
but then you get 1950 then 2100 and only something at 2.4
yeah its tabard at 2.4k as well as competing for top 0.1% in bracket titles
It's 1950 and elite weaponry is 2100.
weps is 2100?
noicu
They needed to make that reward more free than it was with blitz existing
wonder if blitz mmr gets nuked next seas
figured for sure it'd go this season
first game on warr was 2900 or som
it's 50/50
what's the reason so many sub rogues are using conq pieces for tier slots instead of crafted? Are they getting a bit more vers or is it just prep in case 4set gets necessary?
welp, a bit of stat DR is fine
remember next season has "seasonal rewards overhaul", might be lucky that it includes pvp
i mean that prob is the usual
new raid set new pvp sets new glad drake new vicious mount more elite sets etc
would be pretty cool if they updated pvp and pve ratings to be equivalent in skill level according to ladder position somehow.
I hope we get a renown track for pvp rewards, and stop ratings entirely from being a thing and instead award people a position on the ladder and put them in different leagues based on that position
how fast one unlocks renown track depends on what level on the ladder you're playing on, whether it's elite or rival2 or w/e
Next opportunity for them to mess with the rewards/ratings system is in like 8-12 years if they don't take the opportunity now
it would probably be way healthier for the game if it was a renown track, with higher rating speeding up the track a little, then just have % based titles
that and a solo queue option for 3s that just puts you with a group
add a repeating reward at the end of the track which is a old elite set token to let you buy 1 old set
a non ranked reward track would go crazy ya
all casual pvpers have to grind is conq gear lol
i was thinking how blizz could f it up but it could actually be good
i was thinking that +3 ilvl per track would be bad
but would it actually be worse than current gearing if there were 2 colours of the pvp set on the track, and increasing the track gave +3 ilvl
would be a bit of a mess mid season tho since alot of ppl farm conquest for ilvl outside of pvp through crates and daily/weekly rewards
Ilev is all people want ya
Stop, i can only get so erect
Raw damage output is what matters
So how much better is mastery than vers? Because i DR10% the mastery but it's only 130ish rating i'm losing.
If that's still fine then going crafted would give more damage per point
Except this is damage buckets all over again, so vers and mastery needs balance to maximize the buckets
a lot iirc
its the same with assa
I would like for blitz to get nuked next season
Why?
I dislike seeing people have fun
But I would like to get shuffle nuked cause I wanna do the world a favour
I just want to play without playing job interview with people who dont have jobs
Sign up, put 2.5k xp in the note
Q
High exp privilege
Do what Artji says
I baited our healer in by claiming Artji had glad xp when it was his first season
Now he heals us every day
He's also routinely getting banned so who lured who in? 🥴
Woke up 2 spots higher on the ladder without even having to q. We love that
Now to be fair
That only happens when he plays shuffle
And after healing shuffles, I completely get why tbh
I rage quit a lobby yesterday cause I'd have gouged my eyes out otherwise
everyone i play with has sinful glad mount, was that easy af to get or some shit?
mmr got deflated?
They nerfed it mid-season yeah
It's why it's called the sitful gladiator rank 1 title
Everyone in range after the MMR nerf just sat the rest of the season and got rank 1
ahaha glad I got that lore
yes
It's the equivalent of getting 2.4+ in blitz rn
You're talking about unchained
another reason why shadowlands was shit
The first half of sinful was pretty inflated true true
Everything is righty tighty then suddenly it turned into righty loosey and shit went downhill fast
Ye what’s better super inflated ssn with high participation. Or deflated ssn with dead 3s?
Now hear me out
% cutoffs
So it doesn't matter
Give glad at 1600 if that's T0.5%
Now hear me out
delete 3s
give glad mount to blitz and SS
finally kill off pvp
or rather 3s
I dont care as far as I don’t have to sit in lfg looking for ppl for 2h
As far as I don’t have to face same 3teams above 2k mmr each evening
Wish we still had luduslab so we could see ladder distribution
better for what? If you want highest possible rating or most fun matches?
In general
you learn most by playing the most deflated bracket, you'll get to play against better opponents and have more learning opportunities
That's not really true though
Deflating just affects your mmr
Doesn't matter if you Q into Whaazz on 2.4k or 3.2k
deflation would reduce the difference between you and better players
if you're not literally on their level, you'll have a shorter distance to them and an easier time playing with them
give glad to anyone who plays 500 rounds of solo shuffle or 100 blitz games, regardless of rating
pvp = saved
just kill the gamemode
Not really though
Hey quick question : are the stats priority the same between protection and arms warrior ? I grinded a (almost) full pvp set for my prot warrior, and was wondering if I could make the switch to arms by only bying the corresponding weapon ?
Inflation mostly stems from when low mmr people Q up
everyone would play pvp if it was like that
Top end ladder remains mostly the same
You inflate the ladder every time you make a new enh sham to Q on 1.8k basically
yep
yep
BUT
the only situation where inflation/deflation doesn't matter is situations where the gains/losses from games and the match making system also inflates deflates at the same rate.
Since that isn't the case, deflation = you get to play much better and much worse players. -> skill spread in the people you play against will be wider.
If matchmaking is changed so it finds the 50 closest players then inflation and deflation stops mattering
But it's literally just an offset for glad+ xp people
They'll be Q'ing into multi glad/R1 teams whether the ladder is deflated to 2.1k or inflated to 3.6k
Taking my math teacher's advice, whenever facing a question, to predict the likely answers take the biggest possible extremes of variables and see what happens.
Assumptions: The game looks for players within a fixed rating range, MMR within ~100
In this case
In the magic world of stupid deflation: Nobody can climb above 1000 MMR: You will play literally anybody on the ladder with more than 10 wins. Be that pikaboo or that guildmate of yours who never touched pvp in their life and he plays using only castsequence macros.
= Huge spread. Very fast queues, because anyone is a potential match.
In the magic world of stupid inflation: The highest end of the ladder is 1000000 MMR. You will wait in queue forever. You will only get to play people who has the exact same number of wins and losses as you do, to end up at the exact same MMR as you.
= very low skill spread. Very slow queues, because very specific requirements by the matchmaker algorithm that are hard to fulfill.
which one?
well this depends on participation numbers also right? in theory you could have deflated mmr with high participation
It takes your team average, and literally pairs with another team who's within like 30 mmr
So you can face the same team back to back after you yank their MMR
i know mmr is tied to participation, but the range can be shifted by blizz clearly
that's another dimension, yes. The assumption is normal amounts of players. The more you throw in, the less bad inflation is
It was an example, I currently face people within 100 MMR in 2s. I assume the algorithm starts at 0 mmr difference in 3s and then widens for every x time units until it finds a match
In 3s the Q time is almost instant though
Unless you're Whaazz
You gotta be R1 range at 2 AM for the matchmaker to expand down to glad range etc.
For the most part when Afro and I Q, we'll face a team, and then we'll maybe face that team again if we lose the next one and they won their previous one
Else it's new teams
But my observation on expected behavior from inflation/deflation still seems correct to me. It just means we aren't as deflated as worst case scenario The truth is somewhere in between those extremes
That's cool though, but we should be realistic as well
Your extremes mostly are 2.6k cutoff and 3.5k cutoff for R1
We never see dips below or above those
As jwise pointed out, there's more to in/deflation than just in/deflation. it's most likely that inflation / deflation is directly controlled by participation.
Which goes back to how a competitive game running on the ELO system is basically a pyramid. The wider the base, the higher above ground level you'll find the peak.
Altering the formula would change how steep the pyramid sides incline.
Blizzard manually messing with mmr injections is raising or lowering the foundation
100 rating cutoff for r1
If I had more time/interest and proper data I could probably figure out a way to calculate seasonal participation based entirely around R1 cutoff
Would be an interesting project
kind of a shame there's no R1 titles from 2v2
I'm rank22 enh without even trying
Would participation go up if there were spec-specific R1 titles?
prbably not
only 225 rating between me and topdog
That's, what? 16 more wins than losses?
I'm rank 6912 total and 1427 is the top enh.
There's something really interesting going on with this dynamic
WW monk is better than both warrior specs
MW monk is superior to WW though
@elfin surge said MW monk is the best when playing with a top tier dps like enhancement
I remember him saying that

Yes he definitely said that enhancement is the best dps in 2s and that mw can only be good in that scenario
yeah man
I guess I still haven't forgiven mud from not being on the murloc list when I bragged about how famous he was to my wife
This is a painful wound
Mortal, perhaps
What race is the best for MW in 2s if the goal is to hyper-specialize entirely around 2s and nothing else matters as much as best performance 2s?
I can see that on murlokio but I have no understanding of why
fear break
assuming we build around 2s with enh, would that mean nelf wins supreme?
I'm FREE MFs
Time to play WoW
For the rest of the summer
Log in right now @fierce elm
wtf no
We are Q'ing RIGHT now
I am playing sf6
What is this blessed Q time
get outta here nerd
thats a bug
Game gives me +300 mmr as first lobby on dps
Meanwhile, if I go 5-1 as a healer, I lose 200 mmr
thats because your hpala has 20% winrate
It was my Rsham
Show what
The lobby?
My Rsham has decent MMR, it's just completely cucked by healer shuffle MMR
Here I go digging I guess
Aight you know what dawg, ma bad. I only lost 100 mmr from the 5-1 first lobby
Thats not 200
I stand corrected
It's a good thing I didn't go 0-6 for -600 mmr
lmao
Healing shuffle is so easy
these peasants do no damage i need to do everything
It's so fucking ass lmao
I'll cycle my whole spellbook twice before my random ass SP will press Disperse
LOL ya cant trust the bald noobs
that is messed up. reckon you would only lose 50 if you went 6 - 0
Cons freedom/slow is pretty cool 👍
if im ~670 ilvl but m+ stats is it better to take the ilvl hit and focus mastery/vers?
haven’t done any pvp so i assume id be starting out with crap gear
Got feared, the ret sanc'd himself and then pressed bubble at 100% next GCD
I left that lobby
Most definitely
but it also depends on current gear
and what you are going to play
You don't need to replace a 684 weapon or tier sets basically
but you need the honor trinkets at minimm
Whats the best way to peel war and stop his opener? (I'm a dh player)
What’s the easiest healer
For some reason I feel like it’s Hpal
Try and glimpse spear/stormbolt
CC
Glimpse
Thats about it as a DH
Yeah MUD playing hpal must be easy
hpala
Glimpse is your only thing, or else you die.. but DH is apparently “broken”
That’s because on average DH are better players
For sure for sure
hmm i wanna try some pvp out, whats the best way to farm those conquest if i have 0 pvp gear
whats that
You join a group, fly to war crates that are announced in the raid chat
loot the crate
repeat
ehhh
This is so fucking cool
Guys, mistweaver can autoattack enemies while having target on a friendly
do the weeklies and look for world quests for bloody token gear first
then crate farm a bit.... honestly q up solo shuffle mid way
or what I did was do bloody token gear then just crate farm til you get your conq weapon achievement
then good to go
and just normal pvp til you fill in the rest
129 crates if you do crate farm
win ashran by killing boss and you get 250 + 125 for one game
go queue up a brawl to get the quest for that too
Fastest conq is buying honor gear and doing 10 wins in 2s then pressing q for bgb… win or loss gets you heraldries then you can Q anything you’ll be around 677/679
skip bloody tokens? not a big gear diff right?
Do the dorn token quest while you’re in Q
Yeah
It’ll come passively anyway
I don’t do more than 1 token quest tho per char
Gets like belt + cloak or bracers
That’s all you need from it
And the dorn one this week is fast af
There’s dirt everywhere
- 5 WQs
exactly
Yeah we know lmao
But yeah
full honor
buy conq gear
can do some Bloody token stuff if you want to
otherwise just keep grinding conq gear
they are raging xD
Well I wouldn’t pvp without at least honor gear lol you’re throwing hard
Takes no time to get honor
i notice i have 15k honor
okej done, full pvp geared 😛 Question is now. Should i just do solo shuffel/solo rbg. Or farm those tokens
why even buy honor gear then? Just buy the crafted BoE pvp gear on AH and save honor for 2 sockets
Thats up to you
Yea whatever same thing as far as time goes
