Lightning Lasso needs to be fixed(edit elemental needs to be fixed)

Lightning lasso seems broken in a 2v2 or 1v1 situation.
Lightning lasso seems fine in 3v3 while being a deadly attack not impossible to counter.

if i’m in a 2v2 situation. if my enemy team doesn’t have anyway to break stun.cc the dps and if the healer’s hp is 40% or below its game. this win condition isn’t hard to set up.

personally it feels a little too over powered both using it and having it used against me. anyone else agree or disagree ?

thoughts and feels appreciated…

edit p.s. im only challenger i much preffer pve…

I would hate it alot less if I didnt get dumpstered on by stormkeeper lightning bolts and fat earth shocks on top of lasso.

anything that breaks the monotony of melee+healer in 2s is a welcome change.
“woah a caster has an ability thats hard to stop 2v2”
Food for thought: melee has -all- abilities that wont be stopped once the buttom is pressed.

big difference lasso can be used to stun you then i can run around a pilar and continue doing damage. what melee can do that? im not saying it should be removed but a 6 second stun that can do 48% of someones health is over powered… coupled with stormkeeper + some insta cast procs is a little to much damage…

i can move while using it… i can also lasso A and hex B or have team mate cc B coupled with…with dots it can do more than 50% of someones hp… and as far as i know priests can prevent interupts…i force trinkets if they dont have a trinket its gg…it is counterable buttttttt they would need to spend the entire game playing to counter one spell . if someone needs to spend an entire arena match worrying about one spell that spell needs to be changed. maybe im wrong maybe it is a git gud situtation. i have seen videos of people cheesing rating going 2700 + using lasso…

when fighting an ele shaman i know if i don’t save trinket for lightning lasso i’m dead unless its on dr. maybe i suck idk

gpb combo+ lightning lasso=dead.

That’s how I always felt vs fire mages. I have to constantly play around one spell that in their case, happens to be spammable. It’s frustrating to do this.

sigh at least it keeps you on our toes eh?

It could force a trinket on an insanely short cooldown, 30 second win condition, and all that’s required is pushing a single button. Definitely not good design. I understand that it can be dr’d, trinketed, interrupted or kicked by someone else but it’s basically an I win button on a 30 second cd that requires 0 skill to use.

thanks lol i am not responding to my own threads no…that would be pointless…

gpb isnt as bad it only does 35% of max hp and it has a cast time and you cant move while using it thats fine if i get hit with that its my fault… lightning is instant cast… for half your health …with big range…

It’s too much for its cooldown. For 48% of your HP, it should be a 1.5 min cooldown, maybe a 2 minute. Or perhaps like half damage, making it more of a stun utility than a channeled Greater Pyroblast. Being able to duck out of line of sight to avoid stops is also kind of zzz. Maybe make it stationary if you aren’t going to tamper with the damage?

Hard to take a duel/2v2 complaint about this seriously when Assassination Rogues were sitting at 17%+ 2k+ rep (next highest I think was Disc at 10%) in 2’s for months and would delete people every 30 seconds with kidney, mfd, and toxic blade and every response was “lol 2’s”. Let me know when Elemental hits 17% 2k+ rep in 2’s.

Ok but MFD is a 60 second cooldown not 30 and kidney also requires 5 combo points?

Last time i was on my Assassination Rogue it was 30 seconds. Was it recently nerfed? Or are you looking at an incorrect talent calculator? The video below shows the tooltip and it’s 30 seconds which is what I remembered as well. But i haven’t played my Rogue in over a month.

Lasso is fine.

What’s not fine is Stormkeeper + whatever doing 100-0 in 4 seconds,

Really silly and thin argument.

  • A lot of ranged classes have instant cast spells too
  • ranged classes are ranged
  • ranged classes have spamable cc

You cant compare melee vs ranged in a vacuum like that.

Would be nice if they removed the ability to move while channeling the spell. A massive hp shred with a 6 second stun is already reall nice.

Also why is lasso non cleansable? Making it a cleansable stun would also make it less OP and would incentivize the Ele to use it on a healer and risk getting kicked if they don’t want to remove the ability to move while channeling.
