Holinka is leaving

Just strange the community gives him a pass

62

What pass? Praising someone who publicly have a crap about our aspect of the game is not a “pass” lol. Acting like he was responsible for balance however is just ignorant.

63

Everyone involved in the hell that was pvp from legion to DF leaving is good news.
Idk if he was involved in pvp but thats my message.

He left at some point then returned so I am not 100% positive he was in charge of PvP during these expansions (I know he was in Legion), but I don’t blame whoever was in charge of PvP for any of that because they don’t really have control over the game to that degree. The PvE devs/Ion decide how an expansion is going to go and the PvP devs have to make PvP work within that framework. I think it really limits what they can do with gearing and other stuff since it can’t infringe upon the PvE gearing process/anything PvE realted to any meaningful degree.

Nope he is going to join Ghostcrawler, who left riot and made his own company.

He was re-assigned during Legoin to another project and then came back at the end of BfA as lead combat design.

73

ya exactly. when he returned, his position was above just focusing on pvp.

74

Ya I mean when he was lead PvP dev he actually had more to do with PvP then since he oversaw everything PvP. Now the only thing he deals with is the combat design part of PvP while also working on everything that has to do with combat design. A lot of people don’t even know he isn’t a PvP dev anymore.

Congrats Graham Berger on your promotion

Hey that was only S3 and that was to dabble and push glad with Ballin. I did enjoy the challenge though of learning SP/Lock in one season and pushing glad to with it.

I’ve since set my focus to my 4 prize possessions. Soon to be a 5th idk the name yet

I feel like just the experience of learning a new spec makes me better at fighting and dealing with them.

I used to loathe ele’s but now that I understand them better from playing it I find them a bit more manageable.
