Thanks for creating such a horrid affix like Challengers peril where everyone is super scared of depletes in the easiest keys imaginable so they resort to copy/pasting groups to fit whatever the meta is and refusing to take anyone else even if they have timed a higher key.
How to fix this from a guy with 0 professional game design experience:
Disable challenger’s peril for keys under 10.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
M+ is just bad content overall change my mind.
I don’t like challenger peril but it doesn’t have anything to do with being declined.
“I have no actual response so I’ll just say skill issue”
0/10 bait.
You act like this hasn’t happened in every other season. Nothing new here, sorry.
It’s a mixture of many things. Challenger’s Peril is not even the main culprit. The oversaturation of DPS in the queue is obscene because no one is tanking or healing keystones.
You have to be the best looking option out of a pool of so many others with similar/higher IO and ILVL.
That being said, Challenger’s Peril is a stinky affix and needs to be changed to something even remotely interesting besides “haha one small mistake cost you 3 deaths worth of time”.
A lot of it is this. Tanking and healing aren’t as fun this season
This has been the case for ever. Removing the affix won’t change that. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
This has been the best tanking season since BFA.
You have to admit it’s worse now than ever. Oh right you probably don’t pug
I only pug and you know that.
challengers peril is a stupid affix period.
It’s going to take me 900 years to get my portals this season b/c no one can seem to keep from dying in these keys. Those deaths ddnt used to matter was much as they do now…its’ freakin stupid.
4/8 portals now. Take it steady and you will get it.
The nerf to Stitchflesh was perfect. It’s a hard boss now but not insane. On a 10 as long as your group is not dumb 1-1.2 million hps will do it.
Lookung at IO I see plenty of balance druids in keys 10 and up.
Maybe you had better logs previous expansions but looking at yours this season I wouldn’t take you either. Avoidable dmg taken is threw the roof, underperforming dps for ilvl, interupts is low and defensive usage is abysmal. I’m not trying to be mean here but you are competing with everyone else who not only has a higher ilvl and IO but way better logs. This ultimately is the only factor that matters. I’m maining a dev evoker thus season that is so far removed from being a “meta” spec and class and encounter none of the issues you express. The whole challengers peril bricking keys is also nonsense. I got timed 10s with 15 plus deaths in them.
Gotta disagree here the nerf was a bit much with boss dying in 45 seconds in a plus 10.
Agreed. I’ve seen +12’s and up one phasing the boss. He was gutted into oblivion.
Nobody said skill issue though.
The reason you’re being declined is simply because people with better gear/score than you are also applying. You can’t see those applications, but believe me they are there. Post any key and 50 dps apply. If you want invites, you have to play tank. If you want to DPS, you have to use your own key, or apply only for keys that you are hugely overqualified for. That is how M+ has always worked.
Honestly doesn’t mean much without proper context.
The ideal strat was to two phase him anyway with blowing up everything and stacking spears. And honestly what people do and do not in a 12 don’t matter a freaking lick to the majority of mythic plus players.
Ok then in context refer to my main pandaverse (dev evoker) in a 10 pug group. Died in 43.7 seconds. Other dps was an affliction warlock and ret pali. Yes all of us where 2.6k io plus with ilvl of 627 up but also according to IO that’s over 25% of the playerbase engaging in mplus.
Not true. As you yourself said 50 plus people with a better IO or ilvl are applying so its a matter of bring the best available. So be the best available. I play a dev evoker a class and spec far removed from meta and have 0 problems getting into pug keys. Why? Cause I have a better ilvl and IO than the others applying.
I didn’t say anything about skill. I’m just saying people being picky about who they invite doesn’t have anything to do with the affix. You’re post seems weird because you have an issue with not being invited and instead of trying to figure out the real reason you want to blame an affix.
