How? How is it this bad?

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.

What does the amount of money a company has, have to do with the quality of part of a game? That is a development issue.

Anyway, no game designed around PvE is going to have good PvP especially when most PvP based games cant even do decent PvP.

yikes. even hunters with no gear are having trouble!?
how hard is the under 30 honor level bracket?

The meta does not seem too bad besides MM hunter.

Those games that get decided in 10 seconds are strong premades fighting weak teams. Sometimes fights last a long time.

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.

MoP was the best PvP

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.

Why do you think that money means quality?

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.

It doesn’t help that people are also using extra items to significantly boost their damage in random bgs.

These items aren’t usable in rated PvP because they’re not fun/fair.

if you’re dieing in 5-10 seconds it means you probably made a mistake 15-20 seconds ago.

Most games you die in 1-3 seconds and your mistake was in the 1-5 range. Wow has mind numbingly slow combat.

wym, they’re fun af when i use em.

It do get absurd tho

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

Some people would like to believe it takes a unheard of amount of all those things to use aim shot over and over.

And move left and right while doing it

It can depend what you’re doing.

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.

you are so right my Moroes’ Famous Polish is too op for these bgs . :smirk:

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.
