Thoughts on BGB?

We’ve won matches and had our MMR go down, who knows. Lol I hope it’s solved by live season.

Oh, yeah. Won like 6 or 7 in a row and our mmr didn’t budge so healer lost interest. :dracthyr_a1: Might’ve just been a matter of placements.

It’s certainly wonky.

I wish there were no cap backs on all flags. Once you cap, it’s done until timer resets it. Sitting flags is annoying.

Also give some incentive in match points for kills

My thoughts:

  • Healers seem to have the most agency. If they actually move to the correct objectives and don’t both go to the same location and get stuck in a drawn out fight it significantly increases their chances of winning beyond anything a dps can do (minus rogue).

  • The caps being shorter thus letting Rogues sap/blind cap is going to be a real issue. Good rogues will have too much agency. Idk of an elegant fix other than to just make blind and sap like 3 seconds long or something stupid because I don’t see them increasing the cap speed.

  • Being able to give good advice in chat without upsetting people will probably have a significant impact on the outcome of some games. Not everyone will listen every time but over the course of many games I think it will help.

  • Overall you probably just need to be really good at watching the timers, moving to where a new cap is about to happen, and identifying fights that you aren’t needed at or aren’t going to win and peeling out to another objective instead.

That’s exactly what this is going to turn into. Tag is pretty much what’s been happening currently and it’s just the beginning.

This and you have coordinated groups playing the ques to get in the same team.

This is the greatest idea posted on the forum. blizzard hire him

yeah im sure win trading will be rampant at high mmrs thats just on blizzard to keep a watchful eye and enforce rules other than voice abuse for once. Will see

Oh, if two people just sit there and dodge pops until they get into a game with each other than one afks or drops the flag for the other team then yeah it’s unlikely that gets spotted

There are/were people doing that in shuffle or straight offering gold to people to afk rounds

That thing is wretched. Good call on leaving it.

Because we requested that people refrain from using slurs? :dracthyr_a1: I think that’s a reasonable rule.

This is how it should be for flag nodes no? Any class with x amount of cc duration should be able to force a cap against a solo guard. Rogues being stealth / stun is oppressive but the mode has shadowsight & stealth nodes for other classes, too.

Idk. Can’t entirely agree on this point. (I haven’t played ranked yet as my ilvl is too low to queue lmao.) So maybe I’m just wrong and rogues are oppressive af but i think it’s a curve / they’ve removed too many anti rogue things from the game & now need to change the game itself. just silly.

If anything they need to put the movement speed penalty back on stealth for BGB. If I can cross map quickly, invisibly, that’s part of the problem.

Post the link and tell kennie to unban me

Not sure why you want them to like you. These aren’t exactly good people.

I actually agree with Swole to an extent. ‘Everyone in the forum’ Discords have never worked out. Too many big personalities and tribes. Just a matter of time before someone gets upset with someone and the whole thing turns into a giant stoning session until X gets ran off, or the cord implodes. Rinse and repeat.

Better to just make a cord and invite complimenting personalities to keep some semblance of harmony. At the end of the day we’re just game enthusiasts trying to find people to play with, while meltdowns are entertaining for a minute, having drama going on all the time sucks.

Yet ur the one that left, seems pretty frail to me

Most of them are military or ex military with alcohol issues. We really should be taking care of our soldiers better.

You spammed for 8 hours straight some lame MW2 level insults. Just own it and stop lying and we can make progress

Eh? It has been pretty tame.

First the Swole saga, then Denounce fairly close together. The RBG Discord I tried to make lasted like 2 days, Efx cord exploding, probably a half dozen RBG cords I was in during SL.

Just my personal experience that wide open WoW PVP Discords turn into a pile of ashes pretty quickly and generally create bad blood.
