Asking for a suspension for…what? Doing what the game allowed them to do? Weird flex bro.

Well, it’s clearly a bug. But only the first wave of exploiters knew that. Other more casual players probably just think it’s a really good build. So bans probably shouldn’t go out for that reason. But even upon its first discovery, every video prefaced things by saying use at your own risk – because it’s a mechanical glitch.
You might have a better time with others if you tone down the rhetoric by like… 5 notches.
Yes it’s a bug, but clearly they wanted to have SB evade cancel and just didn’t see the consequences of that until now. This is probably something that would have come up in PTR and patched out if folks got a chance to test SB.

PC users did. One streamer put it on the mouse wheel.
Im not sure if this qualifies in my own view. The macro would have to be the cause for it breaking in my view. I do believe it qualifies in their view though.
I will completely concede to your explanation here because it ENTIRELY coincides with Blizzard. If you used the mouse wheel, you clearly did something outside of the normal gameplay behavior to get it to do something it’s not intended to do, which is BY BLIZZARDS description, the definition of bug abuse in another post.
I do think you shouldn’t have to play with a infiscroll mouse or controller with a turbo key or a macro etc to play a build without physically harming yourself.
I will miss the speed of it though. It brought D3 levels of movement speed into D4 which was one of the more fun aspects of D3.

How is changing evades keybind a punishable offence? Are you getting off to this? You seem to be power trippin with zero power.

No… It literally hinders others in parties if they play another class entirely… You just cant do anything, they speed on ahead and do a pit 150 in under 5 minutes. It’s broken.
The regular orange quill or blue quill builds are strong but you can play with these people and its FINE. The problem was infinite evade quill.

And I know this is in a wow forum, but it’s Blizzard’s stance, so here’s the blue post.
The build is fun you why the hell would you remove the fun people are having from a GAME. Reduce the polygons and optimize the performance of the animation, the speed is what makes it fun. You gotta be kidding me its fun for people that enjoy the game, if you don’t like it don’t play it, thats all folks.

That would be great if character/class balance was a thing.
They couldnt. The act of bypassing the evade animation was breaking the game literally. Had to go. Saw it coming a day or two ago. MAde a post about it. PSA - Evade SB one. I got a prediction right for once!!!
I would go so far as to say that this is an emergency situation. As in they should run a hot fix right now to even eliminate evade completely if they have to for SB, just to stop this market destroying dynamic in its tracks. And then fix it when they can.
An emergency they have let go on way too long.

I am disagreeing on what you said about suspending players and not what Blizzard stated.
You’re free to disagree but this one is not really up to you either and more than likely, what I said is what’s gonna happen. No suspension because it’s the better thing to do.
Obviously. Just like BL, HoTA, LS (or similar) interactions. But Blizzard will only act quickly if it breaks the server

They knew it was there. But as you pointed out no PTR testing. They waited to see how “fun” people were having and the shareholders couldn’t allow that. Clearly the fault of Blizz but yeah, they should have fixed this within the first day because it was insane. Just surprised it took this long for them to actually acknowledge it (in a round about way).

Good change, however, I am disappointed because I wanted to try it out when I finished up the season journey. Oh well.
Would be nice if they could make a new server to start over again.
If you have multiple evades you should be able to press them all instantly. This is not a bug. Don’t kill something beautiful because of people hating it. Optimize the poly’s of the animation and avoid changing the multiple evade aspect of the game.
