Shackle of Malediction is dumb

PVP Arenas

Whats your panacea for the game then that everyone would be happy with then?

No one’s all that geared yet but at least they’ve hit some of the hybrid healing, spread some MS, gave everyone heal denial/damage on a longish CD that has immediate stops and people will still cry “it’s terrible for the game”

Yea I totally understand it’s not everyone’s favorite answer, whatever that may be but it’s better than the previous iterations of maledict that did nothing vs like dh/dk and just benefited R/M more than everyone else just like spite did for R/M and TWD.

Ppl cry about every implementation to the game and still play it nonstop

inb4 complaining about complaining because that adds anything to discussion

I get wanting improvements to the game

but literally ppl in this thread are saying its busted and it’s counters are busted

just play. It punishes bad play and good play can stop it as evident in a couple posts in this thread and no not everyone has to reroll Night Elf

P.S Yes I’m bad whatever

It’s busted.

One guy said meld was a busted counter. The trinket is a channel. Melding breaks any channel. That guy just isn’t the brightest.

Hiring a PVP team, balancing gear, stuff like that. Basic stuff like that.

No, I have literally walked up to people and maledicted them to death. How did I punish them, and for what?

I forgot that being good at WoW adds extra abilities to your action bars.

Again, if you just used all your buttons to survive a DH & WW spamming 7k dps each on your entire team, how does the good player stop the maledict? It’s not that clear cut lol

Here’s the thing: not my job. I don’t literally get paid for this. It’s almost like people do, but still can’t figure it out, and that leads to…

apparently, maledict.

This 10char

25

I succ as retarino man just spam WoG and be bait while your team does the work

26

You can literally walk up to ppl, nvm dont even need to walk to them to final reck > wake/ring clarity > F verdict and if they do nothing they die

People will watch you do that, do nothing and cry about it.

what does walking up to ppl and spending a 3 min cd they do nothing to stop prove?

edit: mind you its a 4s channel not an instant absorb like Mally v1.0

27

No. The point is that the last thing this game had was downtime when every team was out of trinkets and cooldowns.

Now once you’ve failed to kill the enemy team because they traded correctly, they have a new GG button to lose the game to (x3)

That’s healthy amirite?

28

just like sub’s kill in the first cheap shot build?

29

thats not at all analogous what are you even talking about

Ngl I’m big dumb and don’t understand what you’re saying here, its also 5 am and I’m gas station drunk

Are you promoting the CD trading gameplay ppl have complained about since bfa?

30

so ‘no u’ unless someone ‘no u’s’ back

got it, you have no idea what you’re talking about and just defending your spec because you think RMP killing in the opener is skilled gameplay

31

You are an enemy player

Your entire team has no more defensives, interrupts, or other similar abilities left because you just spent them all stopping the big burst.

Now, I walk up to you and press maledict, and you can’t stop me.

You die.

Fair?

32

Wow looks like both of us get to respond to that one omegalul I’m out of this thread bro GL with the games

33

it’s a hard bait to pass

34

Yes? wth

Maybe I’m fried but if the game boils down to literally just mally how is that terrible, everyone can mally

You guys legit providing no semblance of an arguement then giving up is low effort, good night.

I’m not at mad being proven wrong and it shouldnt be hard to, I’m obviously nothing special so it should be easy for far better players to provide concrete reasoning for a dummy like me

@Tcx you hit ratings I will never see so saying something like walking up and mallying to win a game is just poor effort im sorry

35

yeah come back when ur sober homie sry

36

I jus drank 4 of those poopy sutter home wine things I’m not hammered but should be in bed yea

I’m way more cooked from running 24 layers of torg to get my leggo on this fresh-ish 60

38

And you would still see People complain about Hybrid healing or DH damage or Melee mobility or whatever is trending on Twitter this week

People whine about Sub running away all game (or sap I guess this week) then whine about Sin running at them all game.

People cry about RDruids backpeddling into walls

People instantly cried day 1 of the season.

It never stops.

Mally is def overtuned but I just vibe with Holinka wanting games to end.

It’s still early game if you play Mobas, we’ll be complaining about how stupid conduits are going to get and Mally will fall down the list of complaints I feel

Notice how you keep referring to yourself as bad and bring rating into it etc when I haven’t even bothered to weaponize those facts because this is not an argument about skill but more about the general logic of having this in the arena we all share

They completely are.

Holinka for years has talked about spec auras being knobs they can just adjust at a whim but alas for whatever reason he has to email the Janitor, then the intern etc etc before it reaches anyone that matters and the season has ended.

Then they fix issues from the previous season ala Prism in BFA when even Mages were wearing STR/AGI Trinkets.

Its a crappy answer to the bs in the game but its an answer that can be stopped if its that high on y’all list.

Oh I noticed, but that doesn’t stop someone else for weaponizing it in a post.

I’m just pre-kicking

Regardless it was in regard of you not trying to retort. For something as strong as shackle is, it’s something I just gouge at gutter ratings or for anyone to stop early on when people aren’t using it optimally.

Like I still don’t think a team that saves their Mally for when the OP exhausts all their tools is bad in a vacuum.

Games in TBC end in like 30s and ppl have a blast, stuff is just weird after 15 years

Actually my biggest gripe is the trinket that seems like it’d be good at dealing with hybrid/druid healing is countered by druids because curse dispel lol

It’s so funny that it’s stronger vs priests/paladins for example compared to something like druid

Idk I guess the CD is really long and you give up wearing BM with it but also there’s something hilarious about it sometimes giving one extra win condition in MUs where one side is already ahead (i.e RM/melee cleave/jungle)
