Been doing them with an rl buddy lately around 1800 MMR. Every game feels like a struggle to win as RDruid/SPriest, and we have to out play some of the worst players for wins
Monks using Karma at like 70% 30 seconds into a match when nothing is even going on, healers back pedaling in the middle of the map. Paladins throwing sac on a DK that has had ams on for 3 seconds and isn’t in any real danger.
This seems like the most brain dead and forgiving this bracket has ever been. Losing to kids with bad CD management just because of their classes.
Idk. Personally I find 2s more fun than 3s atm. At least there is some comp variation at the higher ratings. Instead of just facing Destro/x or RM/x 90% of games in 3s.
And idk why you point out monks. I often will Karma early and aggressively, especially against Rdruids in order to reflects thorns. 1. It does an insane amount of damage. 2. Karma is a pretty short cd. And 3. You aren’t really scared of dying until 3-5 mins and dampening is really high.
Yeah, I would get that, but like I said, there’s nothing going on to warrant that, unless you think using Karma on VT/SWP is the play. I was just using it as an example of a bad choice I ran into.
You’re right, it’s probably just my spec. I’d hate to be around that MMR and see mistakes wondering how they even got there if I’m this upset at 1800 lol
Eh, last season I liked 2s more than 3s, but this season I like 3s more. Both have their ups and downs.
2s is probably really rough for a shadow priest.
I also think 2s is an amazing way to get better, as its pretty much down to you to find the kill.
Sometimes early in 2s its ok to throw karma into thrones especially with ToD up and on a big map where a WW can easily get away if in danger.
Go for the throat early ya know. Especially when WW has a magical wall too.So using karma early for damage is pretty meh I guess, depends on the situation.
I hear ya man. Honestly I played boomy/rsham S1 to 2500mmr. This season, I always start boomy, then end up switching to feral because I feel like I just don’t have the control or tools to deal with the fotm classes. I always do the most damage but…I can just imagine spriest is even worse to be honest haha. Games always go into deep dampening as a caster and then I usually just get beat down to MS or what have you. Dks rule twos lol.
I think I’ve only been doing it because it’s hard to find 3s queues. I’ll get occasionally whispered on real id, but it normally when I’ve already somehow found people. Legion made me hate SPriest 2s lol
Maybe it’s just dot caster 2s that feels bad then. I’ve noticed DK teams are really hard and everywhere. I think just beating randoms at that rating with that comp makes it funny and almost worth it because it feels like we should never win it.
1.8 warriors winning because uh outpressure (just had a game where i baited all of a warrior’s kicks and used all my fears on a mw… and barely won)
backpedaling uhdks winning because 2x maledict + necro / slow / 3x interrupt / pressure / tankyness / ??? (and letting me drink for 65% of my mana, literally just happened)
new rdruids spamming cyclone and… /winning/
etcetera
this isn’t fun at all
i’m unironically almost unsubscribing
That was about as fun to watch as it is to play it. I laughed when he had to open up his talents to place Psyfiend on his bars. Been there plenty of times haha.
Main reason why I stopped doing 2s and just focus on 3s, and even then, just for cap. I stopped trying for rating long ago.
As a shadow priest its brutal to try and push rating on 2s. All you face is mongo cleaves that have no idea what a setup or a rotation is and just beat you because that’s how the game is right now.
PvP is in a really sad state right now, and I refuse to hop on the mongo cleave train.
2’s have been getting progressively worse since MoP. Now you may as well stand behind a pillar for the first 5 min because there isn’t enough utility in the game to outplay even the most turd of mistakes.
