Honestly man I know it’s annoying, but I love it. There is just sooo much cc, slowing, fearing, hex, poly, clone, etc. going on in this game. I get totally excited when a flag map queues because it’s the game type where I have my most individual impact on a win/loss as an HPal.
I think Chains of Ice is by far the most egregious of them all. Yes, I’m a Druid and I can shift out of it. That’s not the point. I’m of the opinion that no CC should be both instant and spammable.
I’d rather be slowed for 60 seconds straight than stunned for about 10 seconds.
Next expansion they need to simplify PvP down to the basic rock, paper, scissors approach. Seriously prune the hell out of every ability and build the classes from the ground up.
The current system turned into an arms race where everyone has similar acting abilities. Seriously, how many classes have a form of blink? A shield? A snare? A root? I can go on and on. I can create a new character and class and nearly fill my action bars with duplicate abilities from my previous character.
Don’t worry they’re introducing a new pvp trinket with a stun ability, so now every opponent in your bg will have an extra stun on top of their class toolkit!
I was just thinking this game didn’t have enough long stuns in a burst meta that can gib you in 2 gcd’s.
I play the game at MMRs where people actively use their kits to stop me from getting across the field nearly as much as they do the FC. If you ever got high enough to experience it you might understand how goofy telling me I’m immune sounds.
Yes, me explaining that every game I queue is against top 5-10% players, as one of the most targeted class/roles is definitley similar to you bubbling a few traps in a random BG.
