Xaryu Reacts to Pikaboo's: "Why Addons Shouldn't Be in Competitive WoW"

Did anyone check this video out? I tend to agree that addons shouldn’t be allowed in tournaments (or anywhere) but I wasn’t aware that RMP only became the terror that it is once addons were allowed in tourney play.

  1. Is that true
  2. Why isn’t there more widespread calls for relying on the standard UI
  3. It seems to me the trinket problems were a result of trying to solve the RMP monopoly without addressing the addons (Assuming RMP only got ahead with addons).

Tbh as a healer if I didn’t have addons I’d just quit.
And as someone who plays rmp sometimes I’d never queue that comp if I wasn’t able to track dr’s.

Game is too complicated, back in the day you had to listen to the game sound to know if someone kicked or not very troll.

But if third parties are allowed to solve warcrafts UI problems, it’s never going to get better, and it’s always going to be an arms race for non PVP things.

Only few streamers care about addons banning. Most of us enjoying having them. If streamers have nothing else to do fight for good game balance instead of talking about minuscule feature that MOST enjoy.

what…
blizzard doesn’t know what players want why on earth would you lock the game behind the whims of what developers were willing to build for us.
And players all enjoy different levels of customization

So it wouldn’t make the game more fair then?

That’s fine in a non-competitive bracket.

Nobody cares about esports also banning addons would kill the game.

Next.

No it wouldn’t make game more fair for average PVP player that is ATM somewhere around 1500 and unable to track all @@@@ that game created.
Again there are so many other issues out there and PVP improvements that addons should be a last thing on that list.
Also who the hell care about WOW tourney anymore. Some random streamer picking his nose gets more views than wow GLOBAL tourney. Wow arena is not fair, competitive or easy to pick up e-sport. Views of recent tourney clearly showed that most don’t give @@@@ about AWC.

Slightly off topic but there appears to be a raccoon stuck in my fireplace.

What do? First time homeowner send help. I have work in like 30m wtf.

From human side, you should call services that pull that thing out. Spend your money and time.
From homeowner side they are so @@@@@@@@ annoying that you just want to leave this thing in there.

there is no right or wrong answer to this. some people like addons and it makes their life easier, other people like pikaboo are pros and have played without addons, and played well. The truth is theres a lot of people in between and most people dont have an issue with addons even if they make fun of them.

No addon RMX back in the day mattered sure

Now tho you can just stare at chastise db fear kidney cd and ur not gunna mess it up

Like if you just stare at the CD of fear as a team, you know the DRs are up

Since everyone is perfectly crossed and there’s also very little juking involved I think playing without addons vs rogue mage would be even harder in tourneys with current state of it

I think i’m gonna do both. Cause I don’t think I live close enough for any animal control people to get here and not miss my shift. lol. wtf.

Should I try to like. scare it off with smoke or something?

Back on topic, but, I found from healing that this works with other similar things. Like I’d know when the other teams goes were coming from which CDs of mine were cycling back up depending on what the timer on those CDs were.

Now I have omnibar and that doesn’t matter. But I think addons just simplify things people can mostly do without them.

Ofc the way they present information can be magnitudes more convenient to the point where they’re an advantage. But yea.

No, if it is cannot get out on its own it stuck well. You use something like that and they will blame you with animal cruelty if its dies.
Also they do carry lot of decease so no just let them deal with it.

Ahh, that’s a good point. Thanks I didn’t think of that.

Yes

They inadvertently buffed mages (and other casters) by adding the new CC trinkets lol

The only addons that were allowed during lan tourneys should be part of wow base ui anyways tbh…

I mean addons or not as Rogue or in general classes with short stun cds you would just macro a stopwatch to track your drs if you didn’t have addons.

That’s what people used to do back in the days aswell. RMP will not automatically get harder

which would be more disruptive to the game? removing addons, or making it so rogue and mage or even everyone’s CCs share a DR?
