How is this game run by a billionaire company and the pvp is so god awful? There is absolutely no reaction or skill or timing or anything. Every BG I played all the fights were over in about 5-10 seconds… as in all the horde or allies dead within 10 seconds.
If I played as a healer I was unable to cast anything but instants and usually dead before anyone else.
The amount of CC & interupts etc you get hammered with is extremely over the top, MoP PvP felt like this, where everyone was playing all 3 specs of their class, plus half of someone elses class.
Classic PvP has a healthier pvp scene/playerbase despite being a bit clunky in comparrison and a 20 year old super stale meta.
I def liked 2’s in MoP, felt great with the amount of options all classes had,
BG’s could become annoying quickly just for every class puking instant ranged stuns, incapacitates, kicks, roots on you every few sec.
Wut? When damage is very high, then fast reaction speed and decision making is more important. I’m not saying that is necessarily good for the game, but the slow die when burst is super high.
I mean, my new Brewmaster is hitting 150k+ w/o being optimized or using Stat Potions/Fruit
I’ve already posted my Dragon hitting near 800k crits w/o Fruit or a variety of class buffs. And on PTR, I could do over a million dps in opening team fights with just Zerker + Pots.
I got some stuff planned for next patch and it’s gonna get whacky
In an arena, yes the combat can be a lot sweatier/slower because things are more evened out (barring mistakes).
In a random bg though…you never know what’s going to happen the first time you get into it. You could outlast everyone on the first team fight…or you could go POOF! Anything goes.
1v1 in a random battleground assuming neither of us use consumables or do anything crazy, I find fights taking a decent amount of time.
But of course you rarely find a 1v1 in a battleground. When 3 people focus you with their cooldowns and there’s no healer with you, you’re going to die fast.
