I made a post asking why they are removing PvP talents each patch, but won’t remove Shadowy Duel, a talent that would most likely be picked if the community was allowed to vote on the next removal.
What I believe to be rogue players instantly respond to the thread with stuff like this:
“ah yes , let’s remove one of the most unique & flavorful abilities in the game that has obvious counterplay.”
“I’m convinced you don’t know what to do against them lol”
“Never liked removing stuff, for example Death from Above is my favourite rogue spell, whether it’s good or bad. (Both been in the game for a while now)”
Are these guys all playing a different game? Everyone I know hates duel and would rather see it removed, or at a minimum, required to choose between duel and bomb.
I think it’s thematically cool and I don’t play with or know any rogues. It felt busted when I started PVPing again but nowadays I don’t care much for it. Maybe I haven’t played against any truly impressive sub rogues, I’m sure these would be hyper annoying
Making it a choice with smoke bomb makes sense though
that reddit is awful. the ppl there are about 500x worse then the posters here if u can believe that.
it is why u see comments like this in ur thread:
We don’t need even more cool, unique abilities removed. Rogue is only good in a setup scenario, it needs near perfect execution and awareness. The skill ceiling is insanely high compared to most other classes.
If at low rating you’re getting one-shot by a Rogue in Bomb + Duel, you’re probably doing something wrong.
I wish you had to choose between duel or bomb. Because a good rogue forces your trinket with a bomb then solos you in a shadowy duel. It’s bad enough that my taxes pay for them when they’re in prison and now I have to deal with that nonsense when they’re on supervised release or probation.
Like I think like what 3 spells from outside can effect a duel, I seem to remember RoP can effect y’all in there, but RoP seems to have been nerfed a bit since BoP and turtle shell can ignore it now.
Some really…interesting responses in that thread. It’s a “cool and unique” ability that deserves to be in the game because it has “easy counterplay” and rogue is a “high skill cap class” (lol).
Why is their opinion so different over there? Seen tons of people on this forum in favor of duel being removed because subs kit is so overloaded and many people seem to agree, at least in my circle of arena players. Really strange
