has there ever been a season where aff is meta and the game is fun?

Aff with rogue is triple S+ tier unhealable.

Aff without rogue is really easy to play around.

Nope. I member aff outlaw rdruid and wanting to leave the game in the starting lobby more than any other comp.

I’d rather play warrior into frostmage+dev than fight that nonsense.

i mean i know you can shut the aff down on it’s important damage but that doesn’t really change the fact that his only interaction with the game is pressing 123 and port every 14.2 seconds

mop L$D (even a bit in wod)
early legion FLS
sl/df aff/outlaw
aff rogue now

i’ve never had fun playing the game when any of these comps are common and have left games before losing against all of them

Actually it’s just “1” now because of jinx :slight_smile:

That being said, aff into fury war + hpal WITHOUT a rogue feels like the most miserable unwinnable MU… But aff WITH a rogue is triple killing the entire game.

^This, but I also committed a warcrime and played double aff hpal slands S1 to glad with some pve guildies. Sacrolash was INSANE, especially because Hpal was the only healer for the first 75% of the season.

Yeah but the warlock is having fun tho

“When warlocks have fun, no one else does.”

Forgot who said it, but they were so right.

Remi try not to cry about locks for one season challenge.

Que aff into bm teams / fury teams (which seemingly is most of the ladder atm) without an outlaw and it’s the most depressing thing on the planet. Even assa/aff is a bit sketchy since assa dies. Outlaw is just the game on easy mode.

the good ol days

I will admit aff/rogue is insane right now. But its also like the only real solid comp affy has right now. Its damage is easily shut down in any other comp

Boomy has the same problem and honestly frostmage feels a little like that too.

It’s crazy how much rogue enables casters to play and control a game. Mortal strike, 2 long stuns basically every dr, Permanent slow with crippling poison, and off-stun-dr instant cc that allows more cc off like gouge and blind AND you can swap healers after because they’re not on dr.

Playing with and without a rogue as a caster is a night and day difference.

u should try quing with a dev, i was farming jungles at 2200 mmr just pumping them dev/balance/hpal

unhealable damm. i see your post not specific to that comp but it seemed good because 1 of us left to freecast is wild and usually it’s the druid being trained so once they fake enough kicks (or not it’s w/e) just pop off

Yes, but Warriors have to be meta as well to strike them down or it feels really bad

If I que splay, we don’t win because we outplayed them, we win because one of them giga threw and died, that’s how it’s felt the last couple of weeks playing that comp, go with a rogue and you just dome people. Actually crazy.

I think this applies to DH now too, after we saw the gremlins that they can turn into
