Amusingly the latter has previously been dishonoured twice for wintrading - clearly the guy is not getting the idea that he shouldn't. Now, Bribri has been throwing games deliberately for Bazile. If you look at the leaderboards at the time of this post (https://i.imgur.com/CuT367C.png) then you'll see Bazile currently holds Rank 2. However for approximately half the season this player - who many top players will agree is not good enough to hold this position so consistently - whilst barely gaining any games. Many of the games that he does play (in order to not decay and lose ranking) are plagued with conveniant occurences such as disconnects and random afks (particularly from Bribri).Now you may be asking for some proof. Here are some screenshots, though I am sure others from the PvP community who have experienced this behaviour will be able to chime in with their own. https://i.imgur.com/2b2Y780.jpg This screenshot shows the player (Bribri) having already started afking in a game that wasn't completely lost - especially with their composition. https://i.imgur.com/XdKvVnn.jpgThis second screenshot is a couple of minutes after the first, and shows that Bribri has barely moved from spawn. Reading through the whispers you can see that Bribri didn't really try to kill Falan (the screenshotter) in this case. Most importantly however you can see that these two names Zero Two (Bribri) and Moogen Done (Bazile) are versus one another, and somewhat amusingly Bazile whispers the screenshotter to stop talking about the obvious wintrade suggesting that the game is fair - why would someone innocent protest such a thing in whispers?https://i.imgur.com/HJv6IGn.jpgThis third screenshot is a little less clear - however we can grasp a couple of things from it. Blue team has a very very strong composition, the double rev should win most teamfights, especially on a map like Temple. The fact that we see Red team so far in the lead is surprising. But there we have those two names again: Zero Two and Moogen Done. You could argue that the last screenshot is weak and purely circumstantial, which is fair enough, but the reality is that many many people in the high end community have experienced this behaviour over the last season, and frankly that and all our reports alone should be enough for ArenaNet to investigate. For those who suggest that ArenaNet does investigate our reports, I can tell you this is completely false as there are still at least five PvP bots with 2k games that have been reported months ago and still play to this day. It's a massively disappointing trend. I'd ask that people that have witnessed this stuff to please share screenshots and what not so that something might finally be done about these players.That's all fun and stuff, but stay on topic maybe>? Thanks.P.S. Naming will get you a forum ban easily.

Shao.7236 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Of course if you eat all the punishment and use all your skills while they have defensive buffs you're not gonna win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many cases, you are better off spamming 1.Spirits can't be used to or from no-port zones.Spirit AoEs have too much screen clutter. They also need different colors.this plz agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the utility skills have no interaction with each other, you use them once and thats it. Now that everything has been nerfed (except Renegade) it somehow became viable, but let´s be honest: Fighting a Renegade can be as annoying as pre nerf Mirage with all the vision clutter. I really hope (but highly doubt) that they will rework Renegade one day and make it a spec that is fun to play.Herald is still the strongest class in the game.

To keep renegade viable in PvP, it needs some changes. I would rather have it deleted from PvP in it's current form, it's just terrible when it blocks visibility of an ENTIRE TEAMFIGHT just by putting down 2 summons. Good luck seeing things like Corrosive Posion Cloud, when the entire battlefield is lit up by a jumbled mess of magical particles.I have one idea that might be relatively easy to implement: make renegade summon animations render MUCH HIGHER. And maybe have a faint line from the summon towards the entities affected by them. That way you can see the actual combat if you are in that teamfight(but if you climbed up to a no-port zone as a longbow ranger/deadeye etc, your view is still somewhat blocked). Their area effect and hitbox could remain the same, just lift the animation up SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
