When are the AWC matches WITHOUT Locks/Mage on?

I want to watch some AWC but don’t want to see any of the lame Lock/Mage matches. Any idea of today’s line up where we can enjoy some Arena PvP and not be subjected to the awful experience Lock/Mage.

Currently the casters are guessing what the Dampening number will be on the current Lock vs Lock match. (Great design btw) So as a viewer looking to skip this.

lol that’s been my issue with watching arena.

Just the same classes doing the same things for 20+ mins.

like HOLY COW BATMAN.

I think it’s pretty awful how there are 36 specs in the game, and in a 3v3 we only see 3 of them. Literally a mirror matchup when there are 33 other specs to choose from and countless possible combinations to create.

it’s crazy because if you made small adjustments to the 4/36 specs that are in 95% of games you would still see those specs, you would just give other specs and comps the ability to play the game also

What comps do you think would shine that we’re not seeing currently, without the caster overlords? / rm

countless possible combinations to create

8436 possible combinations.

I admit to being too lazy/not caring enough to do the math, lol. Countless for me.

i heard there’s a nice rune scape competition.

=) its quite a high number though, i was surprised.

Blizo waiting room.

Uhh I think it’s way higher than that if you factor in spec stacking but I actually really dislike permutations/combinations math soo kinda CBA

But if there was no spec stacking wouldn’t you just dude 36 choose 3? That would be less than your number

Mostly just unsure of what you used to calculate it

I just heard there was an 89% dampening match is that for real??! Is Blizzard really not going to fix Destro when it’s painfully obvious lol…

At this point I hope there is a 100+% Dampening match with Destro I mean why not.

It’s not higher than that. That is total possible combinations with repetition.

The formula for combination with repetition is:
(n+r-1)! / (r! * (n-1)!)-- Which solves to 38 choose 3.

The formula for combination without repetition is:
n! / (r! * (n-r)!) – Which solves to 36 choose 3

Where n is number of items, and r is chosen subset.

You may be confused with permutations? Permutation would count afflic/arms/balance different than balance/afflic/arms, where combinations disregard the order of subset.

It has been a while since discrete math in college but I think this is correct lol

Yeah you were right, I just ended up rechecking it for comb with repetition

As I said, I actually never was a fan of the math on combinations/permutations and mostly have ignored it

It’s lower than this: can’t have two healers or two tanks on a team. You’re only allowed to repeat DPS specs right?

Could calculate it as #triple DPS + # healer 2dps + #healer tank dps + # tank 2 dps

Nerf destro

Oh dang thats right, forgot they restricted tanks / healers.

Europe has elemental shaman/Windwalker/mw comp, and a lot of ele shamans/mages comps. The problem is that once the versatility nerf goes in for the corruption, plus lightning lasso now triggering conflict and strife that will be gone and Destro lock/fire mage will reign supreme again.

Right now, stuns that are from damage don’t proc conflict and strife. That gives those classes the ability to bypass conflict and strife. Once that changes, it changes everything again.

High dampening game? Damn Destros!

Nothing about Mistweavers, but somehow, the Destro is at fault for the dampening level.

As for the OP’s question, maybe wait for finals. That tends to be where Warlocks aren’t played. :wink:

You all so actively choose to be mad at something, despite all logic and evidence. Stay frosty.

i agree nerf dh
