US State of the Bracket and re: 19 TC

[Mocha]

We can't really change what classes new players and pugs play. However, the major active guilds can help set the example by encouraging class balance within their guild.

Feral Druids and Arms Warriors are the two specs complained about the most in the bracket. My guild has zero Ferals and only two Warriors.

I do miss playing my rogues whom I've barely dusted off since mid cata.


WW monk helps to fulfill that itch for me personally. I shouldn't be FCing on my WW but I often times find myself the one picking and saving the game. It's like playing a TBC rogue honestly since we didn't use stealth much back then anyways.


The stun is nowhere as easy to land as feral but it's still effective to provide some CC with the loss of gouge and kick.


I do still have my healers and FCs which I still play when I see there to be a lack of such on Horde. But fortunately enough, we've seen a huge boom in Horde FCs in the past week!

We can't expect blizzard to do everything for us, we all know that ferals apparently suck at end game PvE so they will buff them like they do with everything else in this game, so as a community i 100% agree with my good friend painaid and we need to just put a ban on ferals, in pugs, wargames, and especially the twink cup

We are always queueing! But have been wargaming a ton lately. That being says, I've found alliance to be the bottleneck in pug queues keeping it to 1-2 games. When we're all queueing we sometimes wait 30 min between games while alliance get Insta pops after their games.

Btw we had 21 19's on Friday night at 3am....pretty crazy for a guild that only accepts experienced tinks!

What is your definition of "experienced"?

 

[Daddy]

I actually want to encourage the abundance of Ferals/BMs/ Warriors, So that Myrm and the rest of the bracket gets to experience the unbalanced mayhem that incurs when these classes meet another team in the gulch. There is no stopping a 1 shot, and no stopping 2 keg smashes/2 rend ticks going off simultaneously, as well as the lol ha feral 1 shot. It needs to be showcased so that the appropriate measures can be taken to better the rules and regulations of the 2015 Twink Cup.

That's good you discourage it in pugs. Everyone should, but if we're going to discourage playing feral in pugs, then the same should be done with the Twink Cup. I don't think it's fair for anyone to run a feral in their roster.

Of course it is fair since the same rules apply to everyone. Doesn't mean it would make for good or competitive games, though.

That's the reason it should be banned. It should be a skilled based tournament. That's just a gimmicky tactic. and if no one takes action every team will run feral and it won't be diverse tournament.

2. Feral Druids, in particular, are a serious issue. They cannot be allowed in any sort of competitive medium in the bracket. To do so would call into question the legitimacy of the match. As such, allowing them into competitive play is a complete nonstarter. There is little to no reactive ability to counter them. Other classes with similar opening kits, such as rogues, should also be limited.

Banning a whole spec sounds slightly rash. It's not like the spec is limited to one team. You also are only allowed 2 of each class if i'm correct? And in a premade environment giving up Boomkin/Restro druid for a Feral won't always be worth it

 

[Twinkbeast]

Yes! More QQing over ferals!! I love reading this!

Who wants to ban a whole class?

Thanks for clarifying that. I didn't know you could misspell "spec" as "class".

a typographical error. I meant spec but said class (a typographical error.). A typo isn't a misspelling it's a a typographical error.

You shouldn't use a word if you clearly don't know its meaning.

[MENTION=65]Pizza[/MENTION] Why do you claim 29 class balance to be lesser or equal than 19? Let alone every class, almost every spec is. Feral is strong, but negated with use of Flash Bombs.

Also chiming in on bring back 39s!
