It’s not too difficult, it does get a bit messy in large fights since I also have bigDebuffs, but here is an example…

It lets me focus on the fight rather than my raid frames.

No it doesn’t. I don’t think I’ve ever played a BG that wasn’t full of them.

Oh, you’re trolling? Okay, I get it now. Well done.

u gotta keep in mind a lot of players dont even do damage to their potential tho.

most games theres like 1 pumper and the rest of the dps are doing 1/4th the damage they should

this is why healers are so immortal in low matchmakings/randoms… cuz nobody knows how to do damage or cc

yeah of course the healers never died… we had 5 players on our team who only did 8 million damage total in a 10 minute BG

:joy: :joy: :joy: Are you trying to say I bought my totally legit r1? Lmao you really don’t know how anything in this game works do you

Because we all know the unpopular opinion is also always the correct one

Bro your a dk just grip both the healers and start your cc chains and burst on them. I got to 2k+mmr on my dk and have no clue how to properly play one just by gripping the priest , pally or shaman and messing with the more mobile casters a bit to get them to pop cds. Again your a dk you scare casters grip them in the middle of the melee mongo and watch them cry.

He doesn’t though.

Hey, you aren’t wrong. Killing people should be easy in battlegrounds, yet healers make it virtually impossible without serious coordination.

People not dying in team fights happens so reliably in battleground blitz that the best strategy is to just steal other bases that aren’t part of the main team fight and just let your team stall until they either die or manage to win. Staying in a team fight actively loses you the game because of how overtuned healing is and that is exactly what the problem is right now.

You mean you can’t just walk all over healers?

Gilneas needed to be removed from the game during CAT, I don’t know why it still exists, but that map is already over instantly after 1 fight.
Speeding up a BG that’s already immediately over even more is like if you played DOTA2 and whoever got the most gold from the first creep wave instantly won the game.

So far every single capture the flag BG feels awful to play. The speed up / rotate / neutral mechanic is extremely boring. The BGs end far too quickly. I’m going to assume I need an addon to track the timers on when stuff goes neutral and flips over? There’s no in game ui indicator for it until EXACTLY when it happens, which is already too late.

I should not need an addon to know what team I’m on, make a UI indicator.
I should not need an addon to know when flags are changing / going neutral etc, make a UI indicator.

Please do not keep the “speed up” aspect(and remove gilneas).

Technically, there is, if you know your battlegrounds well enough, your starting location generally gives lots of cues. And when the gates open it shows your faction as part of the opening process.

You don’t need an addon for this, it’s built into the game.

If you mean in EOTS, the bases flip when the flag is capped.

I see that a lot in BGB with healers, you can be standing right next to them with 10% health left and still not getting healed. The worse are the ones that queue with another DPS and only heal that person, this literally happened a lot to me last night.

Healers with no area awareness are fake healers there for the fast queues.

I didn’t see one in AB unless I was actively next to a base. Where is it?

They’re usually where your quests show, if you have quests on the right side of your screen, try hiding them.

Last night did a DWG and on my hunter I called out FARM and said I would lock it down, the healer and Retribution Paladin follow me to farm? Like you can’t make this stuff up, BGB has showed me the amount of players that have no clue what they are doing is quite large. To make matters worse the Retribution Paladin happen to queue with the priest and continued to mock how bad our DPS was even though he was the only one being healed.

BGB for me at least has shown me that real bad players still exist, and this is coming from a player that averages 1800 a season.

Yeah, solo queueable content just brings them out, they can’t make it in actual group content for a reason.

I mean, I know I’m not great, but 1800-1900 isn’t too bad. But there are people who play without any awareness at all. And they think they’re awesome.

He listened to Theadreu, the other forum dufus , and believed him 100% just because Theadreu argued with me. Can’t take anything this guy says seriously

Ya it’s built into the quest log on the right side of your screen. If you have it minimized you’ll need to open it. Once a base caps over the timer shows how long until it flips to neutral

Works for AB and DWG

This is the only way I was able to know my team before I downloaded an addon, lol.
I still think it should just use red / blue and not a faction for clarity.

I also still spend too much time on queue compared to playing, why exactly do blitz matches need to be sped up so much? Normal BGs aren’t long or anything.
What is the purpose of speeding them up? Do I need to make sure my match will finish before my train trip ends? Am I playing WoW mobile in Tokyo on my way to and from work?
