Funny how you ban [Warrior of Elune] after Sunboys wargamed Kompe and my Boomy ;_; feelsbadman.. Too many class/ability bans. You are basically lowering the skillcap, so people will have a good time, rather than encouraging people to perform better as players. Compbans are the way to go ..(ofc some classes I get)

LOL, we came up with all bans right after the first qualifier was over. Also, we did not want to ban comps because last time there were no any counter comps and such, so we feel like getting rid of the "burst" out of the game, its not lowering the skill capped but actually increasing it. You have to play longer games and try to win games through outplaying instead of ending game in 5 seconds, which literally takes 0 skills. So yea. :)

Longer games and slower pace, can often result in a lower skillcap yes.
 
also the reason of banning ret is odd since trailmop himself said they banned ret because of the certain comps they could run not for the ret itself then just bann those comps not the entier spec xD
 
thats not true. 1 shoting in 30 secs isnt high skill cap most times.

The faster the games, the faster reactions.. If things are slowpaced, it only gives those with low reaction a better chance at having a good time as said. It's a Competitive tournament, not para-olympics as said, some things are ridiculous.. Like I ain't trying to sit here and turn you around on it. We allready decided we ain't playing because of these things. Im just stating the obvious, and that is that all these bans are getting ridiculous :') And ofc, it also depend alot on individual matches, its not certain science either way.

You dont seem to get it lol. The games wont be long if you dont react just as fast as you would any game. Its just that games wont be short because retarded combat log numbers but short because a team was outplayed.

Why exactly ban priest class stack? Since with double priest you are basically forced to play holy which has less heals and less offensive pressure
