So I just went 0-6 after a day of climbing back up, only to land in a lobby that realistically I should have done really well in. It honestly felt like I was being trolled. Have a look at these pics.
Take note of where the warrior damage and hunter damage is. Top and bottom.
Here we see the hunter, now no longer on my team, at the top, and the warrior, who is on my team at the bottom.
Notice the hunter is still at the top and now the ret is at the bottom.
Oh look, my warrior is at the bottom again.
Here the warrior is back up the top, while my hunter is once again at the bottom, all while being able to free cast.
And last but not least, the hunter has made his triumphant return to the top doing actual damage.
I know sometimes lobbies don’t go your way, but I have been 4-2, 5-1ing lobbies like this all day long, this lobby just cost me 76 rating…absolutely deflated.
I should have shelved my enhance week 1 when he was in the 1600s and just waited for inflation.
Soooooo, the warrior decided to unga bunga the hunter and got kited into oblivion? and then on round 5 he probably unga bungad you cuz the hunter domeskied him back in round 2?
Yeah there are so many variables that come into play with this stuff. Like hunter usually does better with a Paladin on the team for freedoms, whoever is being trained will do less damage, sometimes a kill target will los a lot and the person won’t try to hit something else, certain healers offer damage mitigation rather than raw hps which will make damage drop, if someone on the team can purge bop vs another lobby configuration where they can’t or nobody does phys damage it will have a big impact on damage done, and on and on.
Also dps meters are very misleading due to hitting pets and pet damage often not being properly included. The end of game scoreboard is the only thing I trust for overall damage.
Week 1 is one is absolutely the best time to push (other than last 2 weeks). I got 1600 week 1, and now I’m 1475ish perpetually.
After week 1, unsubscribe for 4 months until blizzard actually adds rating to the system. Then you can return for easily-obtained transmogs, mounts and titles.
I just got trolled in the double dk/dh lobby i was in. Only reason I didnt /afk was so id only lose 70 points for going 0-6
Its actually crazy that they allow lobbies with two dks ad dh and an affy lock. That should never happen because the imbalance in that is insane. Every lobby needs to be melee/caster/heals
Looks like some rounds he forgot to thunderclap rend onto BM pet army.
Everyones damage looks really low here to be fair. Rare to have rounds end without people doing 70k+ dps. Especially when one of the pet army specs is in lobby.
Can look at meters all we want but can never know the whole story. Sometimes you are getting trolled, sometimes its the fact Enhance prob takes some of the highest damage in the arena dampens your mates.
Nights where im tired and qing anyway I notice my rounds make everything harder for everyone or they’re longer or whatever.
