As the title states long time PvPer here and I’ll be honest there’s been a few expansions where PvP was atrocious but this absofreaking lutely takes the cake as the worst. It’s a fun expansion when you’re getting dumpstered on by a bunch of walking backwards scrubs who are single handedly getting carried by their corruption gear. OH SHOOT you’re fighting something with a dot effect on you well get ready for reaping flames/Lethal strikes to melt your sack off. Oh did you want to fool around in arena well GG the meta is gonna be Firemages hard casting Gpyros because god forbid you interrupt it and they just start casting poly.
TL;DR Corruption/Azerite/Trinkets doesn’t belong in the pvp scene. Fire mages are the bane of my existence.

Though I see your point, I don’t agree. I’ve really enjoyed BFA pvp. The good news for these corruptions/essences that you’re getting creampied by is that you can get them yourself and do it to others. xD
Yeah you have to RNG high roll on them.

I agree. BFA is the first xpac where I didn’t actively PvP. Too much PvE and miscellaneous grind.

Naw I haven’t liked any of the post MoP xpacs much, my preference for legion over WoD is purely that there was more comp diversity and choices in how you played which I think is really important in arena. MM hunter in legion for example was a weird spec and kinda clown fiestaish, and WoD SV was really fluid but I just prefer the stuff legion had right over WoD.
The thing is in both those xpacs you’re picking half of what MoP and before used to have, so I just prefer the things legion had to offer even though I’d rather have a complete game.
My largest gripe with WoD is that there were 1-2 playable comps for each class and you had to play them the exact same way, being limited to a specific playstyle is super boring to me. There were other things fine with WoD but the forced playstyle thing triggered me hard

It is and will be remembered as the worst.
It’s not alt friendly at all. Hell it’s not main friendly if you miss 1 week or just roll poorly on azerite/corruption.
On my priest I didn’t see the depths talent which buffs shadowmend for WEEKS. Horrible expansion - story is terrible, gameplay is boring, classes lost all their identity with forced ‘fantasy’.
PvP is shaping up to be better in SL due to 1 thing for me; vendors.

After shadowlands can have an expac where we go back in time and anything that was made after mop is deleted?

I mean, is the actual PvP itself that bad even if the gearing and system around it are bad?

I don’t know I think corruption gear has saved PvP this Expansion. You should try getting some it’s a lot of fun!

Yeah I think so. It’s bare bones and leaves little ability to outplay.
I remember in mop playing with my friend who had just lvld his rogue. Had blue weaps. We won lots of games just because we could actually out play
