Legit the most canca time you can have in this game is playing destro into 3 mouth breathing melees game after game. Especially if you aren’t some lock god top 0.1% player.

My first Solo Shuffle this season as Destro was in Ruins of Lordaeron against a Feral, Unholy and Havoc.
It also ended up being my last one too !

I feel like I’d make a decent destro player. I need to level my lock that I haven’t played SL and see if that’s true. I mean how hard could it be? You just create distance and do a ton of damage in fears and coils.

I just finished my elite set on destro in ss feel greens, yeah melee were frustrating but bolting them in the face every shadowfury/coil was fun af.
Destro is a feast or famine dopamine machine. Either you’re raging because you’ve been kicked 17 times or you’re laughing while falling out of your chair because even though you got kicked 17 times you won the game in 5 seconds.

Ironically they are very similar, both can feel like you’re losing the entire game and then win in 2-3 globals, destro gets kicked and micro cc’d into oblivion and IF the other team has a composition of certain specs with lots of roots, the warrior can feel as bad as destro.
I had a good time farming the enchant. It feels strong right now.
Idk destros just one of those specs you either thrive on or suck on and hate it.
I feel like the majority of us “alt” destros that try it are like dogs chasing cars on highways just trying to get bolts off and losing our minds.
Then u got them wierd destro mains that play it like a chess match and have alrdy mapped out how many bolts ur gonna take and go “Welp i have no buttons im dead destro op QQ”
Its that feeling u get when ur coiled into shadowfury and you realize your whole team is crossed and you are going to die to bolts and ur wondering how u ended up here with nothing to press or avoid ur fate.
Alt destro players dont have the brains to do that every game consistently. It takes thousands of hours of being farmed and beat up on a warlock to evolve and figure it out and none of us are willing to play it and soak in that misery long enough.

Yup the only caster that has to actually cast in this meta of insta spells and endless melee mobility/uptime, destro is suffering from being stuck in the past.
But hey! when you can get those bolts out it feels really nice
Yup. Melee 100% uptime is bad game design

Destro is basically a marksman hunter with a kickable aimed shot.

Lmao you just described the muffinrat tier of destro main
This is probably the most unaware thing I’ve ever read.
Honestly coming from you that’s a compliment.
If you actually play into 3 melee that do nothing but chase you don’t plan to do damage just long gate short port soul rip waste their time chasing you while your partner wins the game
Gonna win way more games than playing for chaos bolts until you hit high ratings

If you struggle to juke people and get your precog, then yea, Destro is basically unplayable. Just keep que’n, bro. You’ll get where you want to be.
I’m definitely not good at Destro but I’ve been playing it a long time. A lot of the challenge comes from not losing the tempo/losing your cool while you build up and wait on these ritual of ruin/double bolt set ups.
90% of matches will feel like you’re losing all game until you win. I feel like it’s really generic advice but you gotta keep pace - trade appropriately, roll fears, kite and watch positioning while you wait for these double coil set up windows.
Pretty 4head statement but don’t die and you should eventually win lol
Nobody loses to destro because they didn’t stop a chaos bolt. They lose because they didn’t stop THE chaos bolt.
