banning racials from NWL

[Cìren]

i personally hate watching horde win team fights and ultimately most games due to dumping racials on alliance healers

not only that but i also hate watching tauren druid FC's getting away by the skin of their teeth because they have the advantage of warstomp

alliance druid racials are completely useless once they hit 6 stacks as you all probably know

there's no denying that banning racials on both sides would greatly even the playing field for the alliance so that we can at least be competitive against an evenly matched horde team and in turn be lest cringy for spectators to watch

 

[Troncat]

someone ban ciren please

 

[Arkant]

Do you have a team yet, Ciren?

 

[Cìren]

Do you have a team yet, Ciren?

just a couple nibbles, nothing in stone though

 

[Cìren]

i expect a lot of horde players and people who rerolled/ spent cold hard cash to transfer their teams to the horde side for the advantages in competitive games to vote that racials not be banned

but i urge you guys to do the right thing for the sake of the NWL and having diversity of factions competing

Worgen FC is stronger than Tauren FC.

 

[Nodoka]

Crossing is the most important part of FC'ing, and Worgen is absolutely retardedly good at crossing. It's like popping a speed pot to cross. Easy as hell.

When stacks hit, which it almost always comes down to that and which FC gets globalist first, dark flight never did anyone any favors. It's always the Tauren that's going to have the advantage.

There are far less OP things that have been banned from competitive play to even the playing field for these games. This really isn't so farfetched.

Lmao I remember trying to get how good Belf/Tauren racials are into the thick skulls of TI back in early '12 only to get laughed at

Glad some ppl are finally growing a brain

Should do an NWL warmup game "Legion style". No enchants and everyone in whites. Might get a taste of what's to come.

On topic....
Do we ban certain racials or ban them all for simplicity sake?
Have a wonderful day!

 

[Yann]

Are we gonna ban Insignia's too? It's always annoying when someone trinkets my sap.

Wrong. If you don't cross, then the Tauren advantage you're talking about won't matter. But there is no Tauren advantage at high stacks, here's why:

The tauren hp racial gives 205 health in Bear, which is 4,7% more health than a Worgen would have in BiS stack set. In order for the Tauren racial to be relevant, you'd have to get below 206 health, which will only happen if you're gonna die.

Therefor, the only advantage Tauren has over a Worgen at high stacks is Warstomp, which isn't relevant as their O will simply trinket it. The CD of Warstomp and Trinket is very close to each other, which means their O will have trinket ready every time.

If you don't understand this, then I'll just let you believe in the wrong.

the whole point of choosing a race is to compliment the type of toon you're making, isn't it? lets not dumb down the game any further, especially self inflicted dumbing down.

Fun fact: The top two teams in the NWL are on Alliance.
