Ladder is gonna be harder than ever with rshams and warriors coming out of the midst (as destro). I have not missed seeing this combo everyday.
Na man its easy you just gotta fakecast wind shear than fakecast pummel than fakecast mind freeze than fakecast spell reflect than fakecast fear dark simulacrum than fakecast wind shear and bait grounding totem than you can force out a stun or defensive!
Use this simple and engaging gameplay loop to force out Strangulate, Anti-Magic-Shield, Anti-Magic-Zone, Die by the Sword, and Storm Bolt and then you can force them to pillar as they spam chains of ice on you.
That being said, please make the other lock specs have a viable toolkit again I’m sick of destro. I’ve always hated it and I always will.

and then you wall and kill something in 2 0.8 second casts while being immortal yourself.
Can’t believe I forgot wall my bad!
Wall is a really good way to bait out stuns, spell reflects, and grounding right away! Also helps end the game sooner since you no longer have a cooldown to survive and they have no incentive to swap off you for the next three minutes!
If wall is used offensively you are asking to die vs most mele cleaves. You can only really get offensive pressure out with it vs competent teams if you are getting burst out offensively at the same moment you need to use it defensively. If you have a cooldown up to evade and los or stun a walled lock (during high infernal stacks) you should be fine unless they already forced all those cool-downs. (If you are relying on mobility to los don’t forget confag roots)
When we are talking destro though, I feel like destro in it’s current state is both miserable to play and miserable to play against in most match-ups. If Featherfeet or any other good destro disputes this I would be surprised.
