I know this is kind of irrelevant at this point with the expansion nearing its end… But what in the actual f$$k !!! Go into arena against a tank and a dps and cant beat them. Tank has 98 stuns,incapcitates, slows, self healing, defensive cd’s… And then cranks out a pretty fair amount of dmg on top of it. Now i know i suck and these teams are probably laughed at by all of you elite players, but they dont get to 1700+ without being extremely difficult to deal with. The fact that this goes on just shows how little they care about the integrity of the game. As a pure dps you go and get your face chewed off by a tank that seems almost immune to your snare, kiting attempts and dmg… All while laughing at your dmg and healing to full and running around like a crackhead that just found $20… Is this what pvp is becoming? Running the cheesiest comps available ? I mean the constant pole humping and los abuse is bad enough… The non stop healer melee comps… Heals are way overtuned for 2’s btw… fight me on that… And now we have idiots rolling into arena as tanks with little to no skill steamrolling people by default… You guys really do your best to make pvp hard to enjoy when things like this are going on. Que the get good, you suck at life comments, i dont care. I’m right and pvp is an absolute joke rn.
Tanks have feelings too
@abomb can u handle this one pls
instead of lumping together all tanks, just say guardian druid. Because they have been busted the whole xpac and never should have had sleeper lego.
I mainly play tanks but i never pvp even random bgs i never go in as a tank i just jump to a dps alt cause i know how annoying it is fighting tanks
The vast majority of people want tanks to be removed from arena, particularly rated solo shuffle
This. So much this.
Queue into a solo shuffle match right now with a tank on either team, and 2 affliction locks , best of luck getting more than 2 wins (which anything ~1730 or higher is going to end up costing you rating)
You dodge 100% of tank games queuing as a healer. Then you go 3/3 with the other healer while the aff lock goes 6/6.
Not a problem, when I’m playing on my main, I always do.
But trying to rank up a dps alt and queueing into prot paladins that spend half the match on a horse while attacking, having HoJ up every 20 seconds, Have BoP / Bubble / Forgotten Queen, and still have enough burst to be relatively indistinguishable from a ret paladin when wings is up (particularly if running seraphim)
When it’s warriors and dk’s its fairly tolerable because their damage is pretty relaxed and their self healing is controllable if you properly cc.
Druids / Paladins / DH tanks are just unstoppable killing machines unless your 3 stack of the round happens to be decked in 300 ilvl minimum gear and either enough self sustain to not die to opposing teams CDs, or enough varied CC that DR doesn’t render them defenseless.
