Dirtynines, Developing the meta. A discussion on premade comps and strats.

[Laurenti]

I mean, it wasn't a big deal which is why nothing was said, but we were basically pugging. Sure, everyone had the jcm tag, but even that day we didn't have any specific team, it was pretty much 30 minutes before the game 'okay who's on'. I wasn't stressed about it because I knew we'd have 10 players on, but it we picked up pretty much everyone who was on at the time. Several of them were players who were friends of other players and hadn't ever premaded before.

Not saying Fancy didn't have the better team, he did, but if that was a 'jcm' team it was the barest of bones. You listened to our vod so you know we literally just went in to play some games and didn't bother with strat because it was just for something to do. We were just having fun.

Basing Anatomyz play on that is pretty ludicrous, especially when TC videos exist with voice comms of our team.

I'm not bashing jcm or anatomyz at all. Notice I never came out of the games saying "OMG jcm is so fkn trsh, can't even beat a RID premade kek". The games were put together to test out what the premade scene could offer, and that was great!
I simply brought up the difference in brewmasters, because someone was arguing that they should be banned from premades because they have a low skillcap. So, I gave an example of how a bm monk could outplay another one that is all

A 40 yard range, no cooldown, no dr, 0 resource, %50 AOE snare! So skillful! So strategic! So rewarding! =^]

You forgot undispellable with 15 second duration.

Barrels should be banned so everyone has to go test Windwalker. Fists of Fury is duuurrrtty with the recent buff.

Fine, listen to the communication difference, then tell me who is the better bm monk. You can't say that one bm monk cannot outplay another one.

yikes

i think ww could fit in somewhere. with glyph fof''s range is 10 yards, it can be pretty clutch.

Ww can make so many plays I feel . just the almost instant movement with FSK into a FOF. you could really capitalize on ppl not staying spread out. Karma makes your assassination attempts more viable as you have a 50 % buffer somebody has to get through should you start hugging a healer. energy brew for even more damage. peeling a swarm of mele off the fc with your fof .

I always enjoy watching ww play as its usualy fast paced.

This bracket has always been melee heavy, thats not new and limiting melee in a premade makes sense. Anyone whos dedicated too it will roll something new. Limiting it in pugs would be a whole diffrent issue. From a guy who normally plays enhance/warrior its why ive been queing so few games. Cleave comps work but its a bit boring.
