Metaphors

My God you have to just never have a stance on anything- burn it all down. I'm not really a pro lifer but the guy is a fucking Catholic he OBVIOUSLY is pro life. Cancel culture is so fucking retarded we need to fight AGAINST it

I don't know who needs to hear this but instant ghost wolf is not movement speed power creep. The fact that it's a cast time to begin with is a bad design that never got fixed because class balance was never a focus then.

Improved ghost wolf move seems really weird, why is only enhance allowed to have instant ghost wolf? Pretty much kills PvP for ele and resto

. @AggrendWoW make ghost wolf and all the other similar things from other classes stack with the tauren racial with a max speed of 60 so they aren't completely useless

Still blows my mind how I can get a 7 day suspension for a bad word but my Katarina bot can go 0/14 and continue to play. My time and my mental abuse is LESS IMPORTANT than the verbal abuse(chat) on a game that's griefed and lost. Just sucks that it's a good PvP game ruined by terrible ideologies. We can police ourselves, we made it this far throughout history policing ourselves.

Retail PvP has become very similar to MTG where everyone is just playing mono blue and you can't really play anything else at a competitive level.

. @WarcraftDevs the melee in retail are just too strong

NEVERMIND NEVERMIND I just played some shaman pre buff and there's just no saving it rofl

gg shaman best healer lol

I don't make the rules, but if you play Alliance in classic WoW you are typically more noob. If you want to grow your stream you should play alliance to cultivate this audience. I say this as someone who genuinely doesn't care about either faction, I play for PvP racials only.

back to retail, home sweet home, as cdew always told me, enjoying my sunday off

Very interesting to see. Obviously not the most accurate but RELATIVELY this is how I feel my matchups went % wise. Sad to see both shaman and druid(my mains) toward the bottom.

Savix proc'd frost oil so much here it was like he was playing frost mage

The major criticism of this system is that tie-break scores can be distorted by the set of opponents that each player plays (especially in early rounds). To avoid this problem a version of Buchholz, the Median-Buchholz System is sometimes used. In the Median-Buchholz System the best and worst scores of a player's opponents are discarded, and the remaining scores summed

I want to start by saying I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to compete in this tournament. I understand that large events can’t be perfect, especially when relying on multiple admins and pods, and I’m grateful for the work that went into organizing it. That said, the quality of rule enforcement and the handling of external interference fell well short of what players should reasonably expect. There are numerous clips circulating that show basic, clearly written rules not being enforced. Things like the 20-yard starting range, pets by side, and item-level restrictions were ignored or inconsistently applied across matches. These are not edge-case interpretations — they are fundamental rules that were listed for a reason. When admins fail to uphold them, it undermines the integrity of the entire event. On top of that, the Best-of-1 format was applied unevenly. Some pods required players to wait for cooldowns between games while others did not. This kind of inconsistency directly affects competitive fairness and creates an uneven playing field depending on which pod a player was assigned to. The most serious issue, however, was the amount of outside griefing that was allowed to impact matches. One of my own duels was disrupted by it. The individual responsible has been doing this to me for five years, every time I do something important while playing WoW. He went so far as to message my admin pretending to be me, claiming I had an emergency and needed to leave. The admin initially believed it was genuine, and I came very close to being disqualified as a result. Shortly after, my admin was mass-reported and banned(I believe), and consistant enemy faction getting in forced us to relocate entirely just to finish the duels. I strongly urge Blizzard to review the chat logs from the tournament. The person behind this is well-known in the community for this exact behavior, and the evidence should be clear. Players should not have to deal with targeted harassment and impersonation that nearly costs them their place in an event, nor should volunteer admins be taken offline by coordinated mass reports. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future tournaments can maintain consistent rule enforcement and better protect both competitors and staff from external disruption.

broken fucking talent for 2 points

I heard something about a cooldown resetting NPC for the dueling area and that made me think about how shaman just has no major CDs, and probably could use 1 large cooldown that fits the kit - the cooldown resetting thing also just completely disadvantages any class without major cds

Can't believe we didn't ban scrolls. No GCD +6 buff purge protection. Minor magic resistance potion banned. Bask Spine banned. Why? Can't use my spells! Scrolls = Can't use my spell! Also ruins the priest 1v1, this is not just a shaman thing. Felhunter also impacted.

if anyone is curious on just how deep the gold advantage goes.... the more gold you have you can literally purchase more bag space to hold more consumables for the tournament
