Hey guys!
Just a reminder that final comps are due this Sunday, November 6th by 12 pm for the teams participating in the Final Tournament!
Failure to submit a final comp by the deadline will result in whichever submission the team has in place to be taken as the final one.
I'll go ahead and tag teams so that they are informed.

Remember the Treeline
I would highly suggest banning Survival Hunter as a whole, not just its specific spells.
Its damage and CC potential are simply too high for competitive tournament play, unfortunately.
Flanking Strike and Throwing Axes aside, Mongoose / Raptor strikes are too much damage, Freezing Trap + Harpoon + Wing Clip are oppressively strong CCs, and they're towards the high end of tankiness with 6.6k health.
While it would be less oppressive when paired with something other than Survival/Ret/X or Survival/X/Disc, it would be much simpler to just ban the class than to prevent it being played with a specific comp or class in mind.
As it is, every team in the tournament should be running Survival Hunter, since it is far and away the strongest class in a competitive 3v3 tournament at 20 right now.
I think pretty much every single team captain in the final 8 would gladly accept its ban.
Just my thoughts.

if survival hunter is banned were probably just gonna forfeit the game
me and goohd just wanted to play on our precious mains since we don't really have or play any other class i should say; since we do not play 20's anymore we just go on our mains for some bgs
when I saw survival hunter getting freeze trap at 7.1 I realized we could probably have a little fun since hunter will finally be viable with a CC; sadly it came with the curse of broken damage
so really i'm not missing work for something i wasn't looking forward too, I need that $$ man i'm only in high school i gotta finesse all that I can hehe
and i hope you didn't come to this conclusion after last nights games, seeing as how you had more than enough time to test hunter and realize all these abilities cant go by.
if you only realize certain things are broken after games (say qualifiers for axes as an example) and if you are concluding this from last night games then that would make the point true...which in that case i have to say : Get It Together Admins, please test and make decisions, if you wanted to do something about survival hunter you'd have done so as soon as 7.1 hit
the only suggestion i can give now is this : please never arrange an arena event that extends into a drastic changing patch, hunter wasn't the only one to take drastic changes (although it was the only one that became op)

Just calm down there lol, no one said its banned. Event had to be pushed back, everything has happened for reasons. Sure admins messed up ruling about surv hunts for qualifier but that does not mean we arent testing. There are many factors to look at, some which you simply cannot extract from a few wargames.

Ban freezing trap or harpoon, then everything will be good.
Banning so many abilities, might as well ban the spec wtf.

Well, i was just saying that if you wanna keep surv hunters unbanned, just ban some other things to make it balanced? idk.

Too good to be true

Survival is only really strong when playing with a ret and disc.

Yea i agree, its just a matter of saying "we already banned spells for survival, now ban a comp as a whole?"
Its a question of when the integrity of the game is at risk, at that point is just better to maybe ban the spec.
