Petition: Remove Shadowy Duel from the game

They probably didn’t know they have defensives they can bind or a trinket they can buy from a PvP vendor to be fair

The chance you’ve had to use your trinket elsewhere is pretty big. Forcing someone to eat every cc for fear of getting dueled is such poor design. Every keeps talking about how its a team match and that the team needs to help you live through duel, while being completely removed from the fact that you think its okay for an entire team to have to counter a single player and a single abiltiy…

Huge doubt. You know how often I get people to blow their trinket in the FIRST cheap shot from the opener, or how many do it on a dr’ed stun or even gouge? Most of the ones crying use it on the first micro cc, get told how to fight them, refuse to use any information provided, and come here to cry and rinse and repeat. It’s great content

Uh, PvP at 35 seems WAY more fun them now :open_mouth:

Not really.

If you and your teammate have been trading defensives well and not overlapping them you should be good for when the time for duel comes around.

Now, obviously, some classes are better than others, some will have an easier time and others will have a worse time. If we are strictly talking about DH, they have great defenses that should help survive the duel. (I am looking at you Netherwalk)

big shoutouts to all the rogues self reporting sending natty duels w/ no kidney and going “well sometimes i get clapped”

“oh just hope the rogue lacks opposable thumbs” isnt a valid solution, as common as it seems to be in here

Sub rogue teams don’t really care if you trade perfectly because they have the crowd control and damage to get multiple sets of cooldowns in the same go.

Just not true,

Sub-rogues, like any other class, are susceptible to crowd control. Skilled players can disrupt their rotation easily.

Sub-rogues very often follow certain rotation patterns during their burst windows, experienced players can predict these patterns and react defensively.

Nahj is streaming right now, playing with no other than a mage. Watch and see how people can counter the duel.

This is that mentality I’m talking about. You seem to think it’s okay for a whole team to have to trade cd’s with a single rogue on everyone of their goes. If a rogue doesn’t get you in the first stun dr, they will get you in the next 99% of the time. The main streamer I watch is pika, and if he doesn’t get them in the opener, he gets them in the next.

The ability is dumb and lacks the counter play smoke bomb does.

All these rogues saying just save defensives or kite us or CC us in it.

That entire arguement gets voided when you realize you can kidney - duel the healer when one of the other 2 dps is low and just have your partner finish the kill
while the healer is banished in the shadow realm

Sure, lemme just do that and die immediately in Smoke bomb after in the same way. Or let myself die in Smoke bomb before duel :slight_smile:

Are you familiar with the concept of pressing cheap shot 3 times? Or the concept of your high skill cap passive called " Cheat death " ? :slight_smile:

Type /surrender during a duel gets you out immediately. You ain’t gotta trinket anything, bruh cmon.

Bro, it took me FOREVER to get that mechanic to work.

The op probably trinket sap or gouge. Even remove duel wont save you from your bad play. And DH will have another 7-15% nerf in couple week. Dont think your meta gonna last long. Btw, if you post something, post from your main. No need to hide. Its a game.

I’m in the boat of just making Smoke bomb / Shadowy Duel a choice talent.
You shouldn’t get both.

If you trinket your smoke bomb you have a pretty good chance of dying in your duel. If you don’t trinket your bomb you will get very low. And then the rogue Duels your healer instead and their teammates finish you off.

Now being a SP I really could care less. We trade pretty well into that. But I’ve also played things like ele or warrior where it is pretty much checkmate unless you pre-defensive their go.
