What do you guys think about the movement speed reduction nerf coming for 12.1 PvP. I can get the frustration being slowed but for me it was one of the tools peeling away an enemy player from their group especially when they are heals. It is a great tool keeping heals away from their team. Now with the slow nerf some are only 30% movement speed reduction doesn’t feel impactful.

I mean slows are part of the game, they’re good. But there’s a point when the uptime on slows is 100% of the time being in combat. This is when it becomes obnoxious and not fun. At that point you may as well just get a 50% slow debuff for entering combat
If they have to stick with the “everyone is slowed all of the time” then the slow reduction is good.
I still wish they pruned the endless slows built into everyone’s rotational abilities, built into other CC and built into pets
But I’ll take it

im certainly not happy about it, BDK is basically immune to slows and yet even with a 90% slow of our own can’t catch people long enough to put pressure on in melee range. they are nerfing our slow and not giving us a speed boost to compensate.

We should be more concerned with the time frame. They have two months to properly test all of those changes. I’m told season 2 is Aug 18th - and my source is never wrong.
The first time he gives me wrong information - I’ll be paying off somebody better.
Two months?
This patch is going to be a disaster.

As a druid, idk what a slow is. 
Seriously though, a good change imo.

Kinda funny the classes that already have trouble kiting things get their slows nerfed, while melee have the better RANGED slows still! :3 Kinda like making changes for the sake of it and not really changing things or making them worse! (Mage still basically gets to keep the most slows/snares which is the main problem class, imagine)
chatgpt probably told them 2 months is plenty of time

will make melee and especially BDK worse than ever as everyone knows if we can’t reach them we are dead just like if we don’t have ibf or we’re disarmed we are dead. smh
