Just stack mindflay and you’ll one shot everyone as heals and dps and TD for tank

Noodles at least have some counterplay. I’m sick of healing arena, and then at the end of the matching seeing some DPS doing 3-4M damage and the first 4 abilities on details being passives with no counterplay.
Or fighting 50+% versatility with conduit - that’s fun!
We’ll see piss poor attempts to address this with bare minimum effort if we are lucky, but it’s blatantly obvious at this point they didn’t have any discussion/testing around PvP and just did the minimum to quell the uproar from spilling over to PvE.

That’s been a recurring theme of BFA — lack of testing, lack of polish, etc.
For example, Blizzard supposedly already knew Azerite was bad when BFA launched and they’d need a content patch to try to fix it. Think about that. They released the expansion knowing one of the core features wasn’t good.
More recently, they released Corruptions and greatly missed the mark on balancing them. I don’t even know how to explain that one other than lackadaisical testing.
It’s been an expansion full of bugged and imbalanced content that later gets fixed on live.

If you die to a tendie now a days you and your team aren’t paying enough attention and more than likely had it coming being a mongaloid lol. If this was pre nerf I’d agree but its not…

i wholeheartedly disagree.
while sometimes this is the case u cant just blatantly say “if u die to this u had it coming”
its along the lines of “just line the bolt”
yes sometimes its easy to just kill the tentacle, but there are times when u have no trinket and a rogue kidneys and spawns 2 tentacles that proceed to sodemize you.
just one example. corruptions are dumb af, broken, and degrading to the playerbase along w pretty much everything bfa brought along and introduced

also, just for the record,
pikaboo stacks mind flay proc, so by your logic does that mean that anyone he kills with it had it coming ?
why would a pro player stack mind flays if it was so easily negated
You can’t though.
fair enough, I didn’t realize it had a 12 second icd
I suppose it was a healers dot dmg that procd the 2nd one on me in that instance.
either way the point I am trying to get across is that yes they are easily killed but its costs a global and it isn’t always possible.
I understand the frustration people have with outsourced damage.
I dont think he had anything else lol and 1 person cant spawn 2 tentacles at once anymore so that logic is flawed. Anyone can kill it in 1 hit so If you indeed die to one it’s you and your teams fault lol. Is it annoying looking for them to kill? Sure is it hard? No…
I think corruption is saving arena. I’d take this over 20 minutes titanforge matches where everyone has tank trinkets… Definitely weeds out the actual low rated players because of how much faster the games are. Might have to actually learn to play your class.

Agreed. Corruption makes arenas and skirms waay more fun. Anything can happen.
I dont need to be a r1 gladiator that knows every comp and strat to win matches.
It also makes things like blood dks and prot paladins a viable spec, increasing diversity.
Corruption is a pretty cool system actually.

Oh so you are the target audience.

stacking ineffible or versatile is far worse right now. Either people get 100-zero or games with verse stacking last until healing DR gets so insanely high, and healing is irrelevant. So why even bring healers into 3v3s if no one wins until they are a mute point anyways.
Funny enough, even at that point I had a game go a few mins after we reached 100% healing reduction because no one took any sizable dmg with so much verse stacking.
I actually might take a break from pvp and m+ til shadow lands. Pretty disappointed with blizzard allowing this gear in PVP. That being said, raiding still seems fun. Might give that a try.

Thank you Khadgorc, I had tears of laughter rolling down my face! His stance on “this is great, I can be a top player without knowing a thing” does fit the target audience indeed! As for tanks being viable…they’ve been viable for years in the mid ranks and a whole lot of fun.

I dont get what the problem is. People complained about balance for years.
Now that corruption levels the playing field so anyone can win, you still complain about balance?

So, the players that should lose a match can now win because of Corruption?
Yay…

Yes. It gives players that dont no-life arenas the chance to win some matches, which is only a good thing.

We have a vendor now. wait for the corruption you want and buy it. Whats the problem?
RNG procs from corruption is “leveling the playing field”? Huh? Call me crazy, but I think players who play better should win, and not who got a lucky roll of the dice.
When I’m seeing Lashing Void, Gushing, random Breath of Dying proccing, that isn’t skill, a random number generator landed on “do damage” and killed you, you had literally nothing to do with that. There is no skill, that’s not a level playing field lol.
WoW doesn’t have a level playing field because it has 36 specs, instead of 1, but corruptions absolutely did nothing to level the playing field. If you like playing dice, sure, go nuts.

Its the definition of level playing field.
