Yes every match should be a 4x4 square and we just cleave and aoe each other DPS race.

In that meta every game would be a prot pal and 2 melees telling you to git gud

LoS is part of arena, Nowhere to LoS or no pillars would be far more toxic than pillar humping.

because pillares reduce damage taken by 100% when used correctly

I do think small circular pillars are annoying due to how easy it is to line people with it. A good example is Black Rook center.

But you can do the same to them so it’s fair, if annoying.

I like to imagine an arena where casters can just stand in the middle and launch nukes and theres no where for you to run

i mean, casters are already gimped unless you are a fire mage or boomy, and only those 2 are not gimped solely due to CHEESE gimmick convoke and combustion. Its so sad bro this game is so cringe.

Melee already have a severe advantage, cannot be kited, 10000 kicks and stuns, its not fair to have pillars too.

Melee should have a hard time with kiting not litearlly be unkitable. If u want pillars then casters should have actual roots and CC. Right now its completely unplayable as a caster. Melee is braindead OP. I have my enh shammy at 60 now and the difference is night and day, I already reached 1780 in 2s with my fresh 185 ilvl enh shaman LMAO and im hardstuck 1600 on this destro, its like so easy its not even funny. I will probably reach 2k with my enhance, its legit braindead easy as a melee my god.

i mean not really, but the main problem lies in that melee is so busted and casters who actually have to cast is like playing on impossible difficulty… if you die to a caster who actually has to cast as melee, you are like 1200 rating real rating. Thats how bad it is.

Boomy, firemage, and shadowpriest somewhat dont count cuz they are basically melees with ranged spells.

You only have one dot thats a cast as afflock lmao.

Remember why orgrimmar arena was removed? Its the reason why arenas have pillars.

I mean there is a reason why Ring of Valor was the best Arena map.

It was a true Gladiator’s Arena… You got raised up on an elevator facing your opponents just a few yards away and fought to the death. That is PvP

Did you lose to a team that understands how to LOS your damage?
Did you chase them around the pillar instead of playing patiently in the open where they can’t and lose?
Feels bad man.

What alternative would you propose?
