The only issue I have with pugs is how people are unable to play a 15 year old game. It's always issues with slowing the EFC
- warriors who open up with rend instead of hamstring the opponent's charge stun
- hunters who only wing clips in selfdense, not peeling FC in general - nor keeps efc slowed
- mages who uses arcane missiles and fireball instead of frostbolt for higher damage output (which is still low)
- intellect druids who doesn't go into bear form when being attacked by a melee (nor use nature's grasp for that matter)
- shaman/priests who doesn't purge buffs, hots, shields, including AGM
- priests who doesn't dispel e.g. polymorph and frost nova
- healers who only throw some HoT here and there, doesn't bother using their stronger heal abilities.
- rogues who are nonstop chasing opponents in stealth, can't find any timing to get a stealth opener on anyone
- paladins who doesn't use hand of freedom on any relevant targets but themselves. Expecting them to use it on the flag carrier or well geared twink warriors > rogues > hunters
- Levelers who are still breaking CC's like polymorph and saps on supergeared twinks that will certainly 3 shot them.
A good flag carrier doesn't ruin the game in my opinion. They surely make the BG longer than it normally would, but I would say it's funnier that way. Short BG's are boring.
I also think the extreme amount of fail rogue twinks ruins the bracket. Anexa is made to counter those, but I usually see more rogues in my own team than Horde.
