Their knob is bad either way.
There shouldn’t be 2 options; kill everyone trying to dispel their dots or make Aff completely useless if they don’t.
There is a middle somewhere which is where we need to be. Why do they have 5 dispellable DoTs? Literally make some undispellable and then reduce backlash damage/silence, easy fix.
It doesn’t kill you unless you’re super low and/or they have followup.
Erm. Why? It doesn’t really need to hit for less.
It’s WAY too harsh no matter how you look at it. If dispelling aff is harsh for Locks then they need to address that in a better way, giving anyone they play with dispel protection because the healer is going to nuke half their HP and be silenced for 3 sec whenever they try is silly.
What’s harsh is a pillar peeking healer at max range ripping off the dots you’ve been cultivating on the two meatheads going at you with giant sticks
You rip off all their damage from a target, you take a hit and can’t do anything for a few seconds. That’s fine.

Kinda funny how you just separated my quote in 2 so you could avoid quoting the part where I said
Yeah, I was saying before that they could rework/redistribute stuff in an attempt to adjust this, but the current incarnation getting more backlash damage seems fine.
Bro check this out, watch me think about this for 3 seconds and implement a change that would make Aff happier than they are now and the rest of the community as well, ready?
CC like Incap that cleared all DoT damage now only pauses the damage for its duration instead of clearing it all off and UA/corruption/soulrot is no longer dispellable.
BOOM fixed the game, where’s my Dev job, Blizz?
While we’re at it give fury warrior an enrage timer. If you don’t win the game in three minutes warrior starts one shotting everything in line. Making dot damage undispellable just means aff lock wins every game it manages to survive for more than a few minutes.
That’s what tuning is for. Tuning comes after ability changes. The dots are basically already undispellable now unless healer is willing to take a massive hit and a silence anyway or they have abilities like fade/dispel or revival with peacemaker.
