So this seems to be, um, extremely broken right now. Bots are one-shotting players left and right, and returning players need this to help them gear.
Needs to be addressed.

It felt okish.
I had a fresh alt mage transferred from remix and was getting initially 2-3 shot, but wasn’t too often.
Now the mage is in full honor and is doing quite well.
The bots can’t be too easy. We need a tiny bit of challenge.
I am interested to see others opinions though.
I am full gear and experienced. Getting one shot. It needs tuning, especially if it’s gonna be for new peeps.
Blizzard is just going to nerf it into the ground so it turns into a 5 cap win every game again.

I’ve yet to lose a match to them. That being said… my full honor geared pally just took a 145k aimed shot to the face and the enemy ret pally is quickly becoming a legend for going 30+ kills per match. He just throws an aoe 45k judgement followed by a 95k final verdict and insta kills people. The MM hunter straight up overkills people with aimed shot and ticks 40k/arrow on rapid fire.
Its likely tuned around what the stats look like at midnight level cap but seeing as they are still so ridiculously stupid that its hard to lose its fine. Even funny really. In a way it teaches people to prioritize dangerous targets and cc them (the arcane mage and ele shammy cant kill anything so ignore them).
More concerning is the glitches. Bots walking halfway in walls becoming LoSed, falling through the floor, and the worst: They just… stopped existing in 2 of the games. No graveyard respawn, no enemies anywhere just a free win for the last like 2 minutes of the match.

The tanks one shot 3-4 people at a time.
Someone in a BFG I was in got hit for 550k by the monk bot.
The ret pally bot throws ridiculously bursty judgements every 2-3 seconds from 50 yards away.
I can kill him without using cooldowns but have to shift in and out to heal.

Yes it would appear that this is still tuned for our TWW Health Pools. Im fully geared and just went in to test it out and man. Getting 2 shot by bots hurts ya pride lmao.

I don’t know why Blizzard is so reluctant to just make honor gear free as a starting set for pvp… They keep trying to make this process of getting full honor gear to start getting conquest gear less terrible but it will always be terrible.
Nobody wants to jump into bgs and get obliterated by anyone with full honor or higher gear.

was actually pretty fun. The bots made silly moves but kept you on your toes. Did anyone actually lose to them?
They just got nerfed very hard. I thought them being OP was super fun, but they needed a very small nerf. Now with the current nerf, you can just steam roll them and pin them in their spawn. That is NO FUN… Make them somewhat challenging please, it was SOOOO MUCH FUN!
I agree. The point was training grounds not farming grounds. All you had to do was not tunnel vision npcs and push the objectives to win. New players are going to get a false sense of how to play bgs to win now. So what you die a few times. Big whoop.
I knew it would get mega nerfed.
This nerf feels god awful, how is this teaching anyone anything about bgs?
More structured complaints:
This level of NPC will only teach new players to try to rush and kill their enemies, the minute they step into an actual BG they won’t know what to do because the enemies don’t just die, there’s no focus on objectives like this or actually learning how to PvP, positioning, CC’ing etc is non-existing it’s just ‘use my PvE rotation’.
This will empty out BGs from majority of the people that actually make up the queues: the people doing achievements, the people just casually playing to gear etc. why run the risk of a BG where you have to try when you can just steam roll? Yes it means that the people in PvP will be the ones that really want to PvP but we still need bodies to make queues pop.
Really hoping I’m just being alarmist and seeing it as an overly geared level 80 and it balances out as we level because this feels like it’s only going to hurt the PvP environment moving forwards.
