In arena, RvR is won more often by whoever gets the opener, not whoever gets a sword proc.
I bring BGs up because that's where the heavy debates are in US 39s, and they achieve nothing except for a stalemate argument and the deterrence of new players. Likewise, trying to set rules for the bracket before it even starts is just going to limit your player base. If you want to regulate arenas, set up a 2v2 or 3v3 tournament. Otherwise, just play the game, and get your bracket started before you try to slap on silly rules.
That (opener wins in RvR) wasn't necessarily the case in our bracket. This was probably mostly because no one wanted to use DL and most people had AGM. If DL is used, it will, however, be the case. That's why we don't want it to be like that! lol. The one that opens GETS the sword proc, and even though he might not get it more then 90% of the time, its still fucked up high.
I'm not only talking about RvR but any team with a rogue in it against a team with another rogue. Its similar, the opener has an advantage. But with DL he has, like in 1v1, a MUCH higher chance to win based on it.
So basically, if your a rogue, suck so much you have absolutely no chance what so ever to win if you get opened on (thus, it doesn't matter if your opponent uses DL since you'll lose anyways) and has to rely on getting the opener and the wep proccing on the opener to even have a chance to win, Then I guess someone would use it.
If you DONT suck however and actually CAN win a match without get'n opener and a DL proc, you don't use DL. Why? Because if you use, your opponent uses and it doesn't matter how good you are. The one that gets the first proc wins.
-Ps, I have never tried to set up rules for the bracket, I did not make the BOA/agm threads (Although instead of refusing them I suggested they have a more spesific rule towards each individual class/spec).
I am, however, guilty in trying to share my and Cyclones view regarding DL on a Rogue.
-Ps2, I don't blame you in using DL, Jack, I mean, if everyone else uses it you might have to. But that's what were trying to avoid. Would you still use it if no other rogue in the whole bracket used it? (please answer yes/no)
