@Leonidrex.5649 said:@CutesySylveon.8290 ofc power damage can be mitigated by blocking,dodging,aegis, blind, los, interupting and other kitten but its pointless to point them out ( pun intended ) since they all do the same kitten. Its like saying that you dont have to CLEANSE conditions since you can also CONVERT them or toss them on someone else, defensive wise thats same kitten so its poitless to have the lists.bottom line is the power hit either hits you or it doesnt, conditions have much longer line in between and I find that interesting, if you cant hold on to spamming for 2s after getting confusion bombed then maybe you deserve to take damage? in reality you get hit by a skill that applies confusion, you are SUPPOSED to take damage, and you are the one deciding how much are you going to take. In a way you get extra decision to make, how much HP are you willing to trade for extra combat time?and spam most definitely should be punished for it, most if not all games do it. in shooters you run out of ammo if you spray like a blind monkey with ak, in mobas you run out of mana if you keep missing etc, only in this game the only thing you pay for skill is time to cast and time to recover the skill.and the sooner you use the skill the sooner you get it back to use it again, so by spamming you get to use the skill more often, and thus are rewarded for it.

Notice every example of punishing 'spam' was by using up a resource and not being damaged. You don't take damage for wasting all your mana or bullets, there are no self damaging mechanics on skill use for blowing all your resources. Spam isn't an issue, and damage on skill use should never be in a PvP setting, I don't know how many times I have to say it. Idc if it does 1 damage per minute per 5 skills cast, it shouldn't exist at all.

you ARE punished for spamming in other gamesif you spray in shooters, 1 you give away your position, 2 you run out of ammo and have to reload, 3 recoil gets so bad you cant hit shit anyways ( this one depends on the game, in r6 you can actually full spray )in rts, if you spam the same unit, oponent counters and autowinsin moba when you spam you run out of mana and are USELESS in the fight, and you have to reset the mana, be it with potions ( that cost you gold that you use for better stats, imagine losing power if you spam shit off cooldown ) or you have to go back to base to regain mana ( you lose time on the map )
