When I see this pop up as the random battleground I have an actual physical reaction. A tightening in my chest. I feel my heart sink.
I hate this battleground with every fiber of my being and it forces me to specific queue battlegrounds to avoid it.
God I wish blacklisting was a thing again.
I’d take Strand of the ancients back over seething shore.
I’d take PRE NERF defending in wintergrasp over this.

If they removed Seething and DWG from the rotation it wouldn’t upset me.

shrug I like it. It rewards people for playing the objective. I’ve won a lot of games by just running from node to node and solo capping before anyone even got there.

Seething Shore genuinely fills me with emptiness. Seeing the loading screen for it is a fun vampire.
I can’t even bring myself to hate it like Kotmogu, I just wish it didn’t exist.

I don’t mind it… it has a lot of PvP typically .
DWG is what I don’t like . Map is too big

BG’s that require individual thought are often disliked.

Seething is pretty bad. I HATE Kotmogu. Deepwind Gorge, the old one was better though the cart was annoying. I agree the map is too big even for a 15v15 (worse in 10v10 rbgs).
I’d be fine with WSG and AB every game :p. Maybe TP, EotS, Gilneas too.

Seething is the only battleground where killing people is a bad thing to do. If people who died didn’t have the jetpack from the boat and could only drop down from their ship it would far better.
That’s why I don’t like DWG. Unless you have people who rotate well and pay attention, you lose automatically. And I’m usually stuck holding Market so I don’t have the luxury of peeling when I see activity or someone makes a call.

It’s also the only bg afaik that has a rotating Rez timer. So stupid for randoms
I don’t mind Seething when I’m playing randoms since its the only other bg besides Kotmogu that’s not some reiteration of WSG or AB
For rated though, yeah it sucks
I immediately /afk out of Seething Shore. I don’t know what they were going for with this BG, but it doesn’t lend itself to any sort of satisfying engagement.
Jump off a ship like you’re in some stupid battle royale, run to the nearest node… oh wait… someone already capped the node. Guess I have to go run across the map now. Oh, three enemies. The rest of my team is jumping to the node on the other side of the map.
There’s nothing fun about that.

Not his fault the other team has no awareness. Which I think is the issue half the people have with this map
No… seething shore is won or lost by the offcarts. So you’re going to rely on who has the stronger boomkin/rogue ninja capping squad.
I’d be surprised if actual pvp mattered in more than 33% of the map.
Even IF that was true. Are you saying that dealing with rogues and boomkins isn’t pvp?
Um, I kinda like that buff that resets cds though.
Its a different type of pvp that involves who can land the first 6+ second cc on the other, which doesn’t really fit my idea of pvp. You need to do way more than blind a target with no trinket to earn gladiator IMHO.
And what do you mean “if” ??? Unless you are crushing the team fight its going to drag on for several minutes during which your stealth team could cap half a dozen carts
