Everyone just blowing every bit of CC they have on cooldown in bgs. Not even strategically.

I try… if I don’t put any humor into this, I’d probably be genuinely upset at how Blizz handles the game.

This looks like a game of Wheel of Fortune.

And if you’re lucky you wont DC from them

They still havent fixed that mind-control DC, and now Sleepwalk can also cause it too

It’s particularly harrowing in shuffle and blitz… you have one minute to reconnect or youre booted from game with a 200 point penalty

Don’t even get me started on the raging hatred that the dev’s clearly have for (Holy) Priests.

MC has DC’d users for so long now I firmly believe it’s working as intended.

They might as well add it to the tooltip at this point.

“Has a 5% chance to DC the player.”

How does the dc happen exactly?

having 10-15 second patches where you can’t control your toon is super fun Blizz lol honestly in BGs all CC needs to just be on the same DR so it’s not so oppressive and just reduce healing abit in BG’s only to account for this

To many micro globals! Reduce the kicks. If they get a legit kick off on a caster give em a little damage boost…:if they kick and
Miss give them a debuff. Don’t just let them spam kick whenever it lights up and give it a cooldown it’s basically spammable

While being mind-controlled, or just as it ends, you’re suddenly disconnected from the game and sent back to the login screen.

If you click the Reconnect button, an error message appears saying that your character is already in an instance of the game.

You have to quit the WoW application completely, then fire it back up again from Battle.net app.

Oh wow, I didn’t even know that was a thing. Usually if I get MC’d it just kinda wears off.

I’m okay with this, but you’d have to nerf pvp healing into the ground alongside it.

It’s not a whole lot of fun spamming CC either. I’m not doing it to be meta, I’m doing it because if the healer is actionable, we’re not going to kill anything.

The DC can be almost reliably caused when you’re forced to walk into a wall or there is some z-axis component, I suspect that the game detects you momentarily being under the world, which will disconnect you instantly to protect game integrity.

Of course, when you’re MC’d, really it’s a symptom of trying to keep the MC’d player, the MCing player and the server itself in sync.

This is all speculation on my part, obviously I don’t have access to the back end.

PVP has always been a balance between damage and healing.

But, right now, ‘the Meta’ has wrapped its cheeto-stained hands around PVP and shook it to death like a Guatemalan nanny. Right now, dps (especially melee, which I knew was going to be awful when Ion was brought back) is broken and stupid.

Combine this with even WORSE CC spam… and it’s just not fun.

Maybe at the elite end, 2% of players, there’s some kind of nuance. But 98% of us are just schelpping through this and would like to see more balancing on our end.

Unfortunately, ‘the meta’ gamers are usually the loudest and usually have some kind of direct connection to the devs or PMs, so the tail wags the dog.

+1 for creativity. As many times as this has been brought up for years. This has been the first time I’ve seen it presented like this lol.
