It was kinda funny rethumb…he did back pedal…i was like wtf is he doing…then…pew,pew,pew…i just started laughing…how can you prepare for that. The TV i was expecting, but lazers…from a ret pally…the TV woulda got me, but he had to back pedal to drop the lazer beam on me.
There is reason one is MMO and other MOBA. For gear not to matter, you kill a huge aspect of character development that is key MMO feature.
Like others have said, PvP vendors fix this.
Templates should return.
Vendors wont fix the problem. Knowing blizzard theyll implement a titanforge system. Even then the gladiators and beyond will have access to the high ilvl gear. While casual pvpers will still be able to do mythic 10 same level gear. Theyll still be complaints that arena rewards are poor.

Here is a crazy idea… What if unranked pvp gave you a currency, let’s call it honor. What if that honor could be used to buy a set of rare items that was designed specifically for pvp. Maybe give it a Stat that reduces damage taken by enemy players.
Then, once you get into ranked play you start getting awarded a new currency. Let’s call this one conquest, and it rewards an epic set. Now, how far you progress in ranked each week means you will get more of the new currency next week allowing you more currency to play with.
Now I know this seems crazy, cause what will you do when you have the full set for your desired spec? Easy! We put in another purple set that’s even better than the original, and make this one unlocked by competing at higher ratings!
This new set, let’s call it an “Elite” set could be rewarded at say 2200, and would give players a substantial goal to play for. A goal that isn’t purely cosmetic.
This is just me spit balling here guys, I know it sounds crazy but I think it could work! With this system PvPers wouldn’t feel obligated to PvE for gear, and PvEers wouldn’t feel they need to participate in pvp for best in slot raid gear.
“BUT MR. HUMAN MALE RET PALLY! THIS MAKES OTHER CONTENT UNACCESSIBLE TO CASUAL PLAYERS.”
I know little Billy, but you see this is where Blizzard will still get their artificial play time for us video game addicts. You see, it’s called paying your dues! If we want to play content, then we start at the bottom and work our way up! Earn your keep and enjoy both the journey and the reward.

anyone and everyone begging for templates or any sort of character progression or immersion removal shouldnt even be posting on world of warcraft forums and needs to just go back to playing call of duty or fortnite
“”"“balance”""" NEVER takes precedent over fun in ANY video game.
You’re such a loser dude holy crap

Id love to get 120 and hop right into arena knowing my health and stats will be THE SAME as every other player. If I want to PvE I can do so to make money, make world quests easier etc. But the grind for gear is just a pain in the ar$e it really puts me off even playing a main when I fall behind.
GW2 is a shtty game that nobody enjoys
Make gear obsolete

Yeah right. UNBALANCED PVP is no fun either. There is no fun in PVE (IMHO). The most fun part of this game was PVP/BGs/ARENAS. But it is completely unfair, unbalanced and I found no enjoyment in that.
SWTOR does have fair and balanced PVP and I am enjoying it a lot more than WOW.

It’s never really been balanced though. Every season ever there has been something op and broken.

Exactly, which is why I left and why millions left a few years ago. PVP > PVE for pure fun. But Blizz seems to think their entire base is PVE lore kids. Maybe, but since they stopped showing subscriber #s, before that you saw a mass exodus of the pure PVP players.
They have never listened to the PVP players who only wanted fair/balanced PVP.
That’s why I’d rather play SWTOR. At least there they have decent, balanced PVP.
But define balance. Yes the game is very bland right now because the good classes are far ahead of the average ones. But almost every competitive game has a meta. LoL is one of the most popular games in the world and so many of their characters are completely useless at the high end because of the meta. There’s always going to be a meta in a competitive game. Yes, I am aware the state of the game is not good, but there’s never been a competitive game that is 100% completely balanced for every character/team combination/items/etc. That will never exist.
Yeah but for some reason I’ve never been so tilted by PvP until BfA S2 and S3. It’s just too much right now. even the rat rating 1500s are full of nothing but RMD/WWDK and everyone in like 440 gear with full PvE trinkets. It’s just disgusting.
I literally can’t even play 3s because the game is straight busted right now. Cleaves doing 40k sustained is just not something I know how to deal with despite having had easily been 2k+ MMRs in the past.
I’ve started picking up PvP mainly in WoD and fought countless overpowered L-S-D, jungle, and WWDK cleaves but it still felt like the team who played better had a solid chance of winning, and you ended up with a good amount of counterplay that kept it interesting.
It doesn’t feel that way at all anymore. The overpowered comps you get qued into literally feels unbeatable and it makes me just not even want to do anything but press “leave arena” because I know 90% of the time I lose against that comp, no matter how hard I carry and how good the plays I make, they’re just not enough. And since everyone is just spamming S-tier comps right now, it just puts you at a disadvantage from the get-go to not play one, which basically fuels this whole cycle of un-fun tryhard arenas at literally any CR.
balance is literally impossible and pointless, idk why people dont get this
