There is another group that says gear does make a difference but the bigger issue, not just this season is people who do not make an effort to improve and just go on and on that, it was an outside issue
aka they think they are better than what they are
Then go on a crusade that X class is the one holding them back from climbing. I wish there was a mentor program, to help all players achieve a level of competence so they can enjoy the game better instead of crying X class or X amount of stats was the deciding factor ( exclusively)
It is why they should normalize the gear across the board then we get to see the next set of excuses
now THIS would make a good video. Anyone whoâs already 226 saying gear doesnât matter I want to see this as proof. Gear doesnât matter at the top, but it sure has heck does when youâre learning to climb 1400-1800
/Sigh dude⊠Most of us arenât even saying that itâs holding us back so youâre again resorting to strawman arguments.
I donât want rating locked gear for a dozen reasons Iâve already listed that have nothing to do with holding anything back.
Itâs anti skill
Itâs anti new player
It promotes boosting
Makes people even more meta slaves
If you want to dabble with alts itâs not fun unless you sweat real hard and again meta slave
Not everyone enjoys rated content all the time
But yeah keep leaning on that strawman⊠Real sturdy.
the best part about this is if they were to lose, the enemy team would gain like 10-13 rating. but lose like 20 if they lost. while the carry gets tons for wins and loses very little for losses. this literally only encourages carries because of how fast the points jump up and how little they decline.
but no, great system Ion, totally matches based on skill
No youâre arguing that thatâs the reason we are all tired of rating locked gear is because we think we are being held back. Thatâs not the main reason most people are annoyed with rating locked gear.
As for this⊠People never used to make excuses for not achieving rating. Theyâd complain about something being op and sometimes that was justified. They didnât say that was why they couldnât get x rating. Seriously man youâre not getting why most people donât care for rating locked gear. Some think itâs holding them back but most think itâs unfun and encourages unhealthy things for PvP.
I mean they were pretty flipping rare man⊠Occasional people flaming and blaming lfg but they were rare and got smacked down by everyone, including myself. Other than that what other excuse do people have? People complaining about stuff being op isnât the same as saying theyâre holding them back.
By all means though, if you can find a bunch of other threads with people complaining about something holding them back in rating Iâm willing to recant. I sure donât remember many and Iâve been playing since vanilla.
Watched an asmingold video and during it the viewers were saying queue times were long. So at the end he wanted to prove them wrong. He was 1960 and queued with a 1500 priest. They get into a match vs 1700 rated players and EVERYONE in the match had 226 gear from rbgs.
Now suppose you are someone that had normal gear from that backer and avoided rbgs, how hard would it be to over come that gear gap?
If you can not see this class is OP threads ( thinly veiled) as what they really are in the arena forums ( the reason they are not climbing, for the most part)
or do you blindly think ( I am sure you donât) that they are just trying to uphold the integrity of fairness
Not at all man⊠Seriously, link me a couple threads where people are saying that something is holding them back.
Or that itâs just simply unfun to play against? Aka endless Destro lock threads in BFA? Spammable cc, non dr micro instant CCS, never die and multiple dangerous casts to kick on different schools. All making it very unfun to play vs.
I complained about it a ton in BFA. Never once did I mean that it was specifically holding me back
âMan i know dks and locks were unplayble and enh is pretty op but s1 was realy funâ
oh found this Gem from 2019

"Itâs just Iâm struggling at 1.8 these days, I usually fly up to 2.2 at least within the first few weeks of a season. But I noticed alot of the players Iâm against are gladsand high exp at this low 1.8 mmr. "
Lololol these posts actually prove the opposite of what you want?!? Kinda like all your posts do. The first thread the guy doesnât blame anything but his own skill. Heâs literally asking for tips and tricks to help
The second thread was 18 comments long⊠18⊠And like one of the comments, the one you quoted, is about r1s holding them down. Most people are simply talking about low partipation and how bad PvP gearing was compared to PvE. Which it was⊠Lol
um it takes me under a week to fully gear a fresh alt wtf are you guys complaining about. mythic boes are so cheap the gearing is laughable easy. (torgast sucks tho ya).
