[Triggered mes main btw! :)]

No matter how much you buff mesmer, as long as thief hard counters it into the ground and eats it alive, mesmer will never be meta.

Nerf plasma.

[Next Mini Season Should Be 1 V 1]

Maybe people will realize how strong thief is if they have a 1v1 ranked.

[Unranked needs to be re-examined]

Not as often I'd guess.

[Unranked needs to be re-examined]

You don't learn being GY camped because your teammates give up after wiping once.

[First impression of MOTA]

No, LOSing is not an exploit. Sitting on a cart to be immune to knockbacks is.

Sadly, nothing will happen and people will continue to find more things to exploit until something finally happens. No reason to take these tournaments seriously until then.

[First impression of MOTA]

The duration of a bug being in the game is irrelevant. A real tournament punishes for using such tactics or at least discusses them, instead of "Unlucky".

@"Meteor.3720" said:The whole current meta if focused around chain CC'ing your opponent. It doesn't matter if the CC themselves do 0 damage - your teammates can dps the enemies down whilst they are CC'ed and unable to react.

(inb4 "judge dodge" or "just bring stun break" - there are not enough dodges/stunbreaks to deal with the amount of spammable CC floating around at the moment)

Yes, this whole focus by chain CCs is COMPLETE BS. All the stability in the world can't counter that. There NEEDS to be a counter against that.

pretty sure one firebrand would have enough stability to break cc for his entire team for at least 15 seconds. stability shout + F3 tome. core guards can also bring a ton of stability.

it'd be cool if more classes had stability or could spec towards it.

No, that brings us back to everyone running around with perma stab again.

[First impression of MOTA]

If you stand on the cart you can't be knocked back so if your strategy relies on knocking the enemy off the node to decap(which was their strategy) your strategy is invalidated just because someone is exploiting terrain.

It's essentially perma-stab for free vs knockbacks.

[If you are not going to balance around 2v2 and 3v3 they shouldnt be ranked]

By that logic PvE should be shut down for 3 weeks to prevent "Burn out".

Trying to design around preventing burn out is never a good idea. Plus, as I said, people are going to lose interest and get invested in other games during the obscene 3 week downtime.

Anet does NOT want people to stop playing their game. That's how you lose your players. This 3 week downtime is a relic of the past and needs to be re-examined by the new PvP developers.

[1 solution for chrono]

I like spamming shatter, afking with 3 phantasms out means you don't even use your class mechanic and was awful design.

[Can we please buff Mesmer Staff? Its the worst weapon on our kit.]

The auto-attack is pretty bad but that's fine, every weapon doesn't need a strong auto-attack.

Skill 2 is fantastic.

Staff 3 does 500 damage on heavy golem in spvp with a 1k power amulet. I dunno what to say, that's essentially a dead button. This needs to be revamped entirely.

Staff 4 is barely more useful than #3. Chaos armor is very underwhelming and by far the worst aura. It should auto apply protection on use for 3-4 seconds at the very least. It'd still be the worst aura but at least the button would do something.

Staff 5 is nice but the cooldown is pretty hefty for only 5 second cooldown. This button is fine.

I'd revamp 3 and add more things to 4.

[We getting a Balance Patch Tuesday?]

The game isn't balanced around 3v3 and NEVER will be. So no, they should not have had a balance update before 3v3.

[[Survey] Worst class in the game after last patch?]

As long as ranger and holosmith are A+ in Mobility|Burst|Sustain and thief still hard counters mesmers there's no reason to play anything but ranger/holo/rev/thief/necro + fb or tempest support. Mesmer and warrior get left under the bus due to how overpowered holosmith and ranger are, on top of how thief just eats mesmer alive with zero effort.

Rev also is far too tanky as all of it's specs for having thief-like mobility and burst or near immunity to conditions and sustain. At least rev has to pick "sustain or mobility/burst" - unlike ranger and holo which get it all at once.

I think it's time to make a chart of class "Strengths", call it Mobility|CC|Burst|Sustain|Support and take a long hard look at where every class fits in there, and try not to create classes like holo and ranger which are A+ in 3 things at once. Give classes, at most, TWO things A+ and the rest C-F.

This bunker stall nonsense you see anywhere from plat and up is not cool. Every game is a slot fest of unfun garbage.

Mini season ranked is supposed to be off meta stuff. You do not have to play it.

Then make it optional. Stop this "mini-season". stuff The main game mode is conquest. What if league of legends randomly had weeks of downtime and you couldn't queue ranked? That's just a bad idea and no one would want that.

Before the mini seasons, there used to be no ranked at all for down time period of around 3 weeks. Would it be better if there is no down time at all? Probably, and then we would not need the mini season. I have no idea why we need the down time between seasons anyway.

No one knows, it needs to stop. All it does is create dead time in your game and probably ends up making more people stop playing and lose interest, especially if they queue unranked.

No, you can't play unranked. I've been playing unranked for 2 weeks and it's not even playable 95% of the time. no exaggeration, the games are HORRIBLE.

[If you are not going to balance around 2v2 and 3v3 they shouldnt be ranked]

I've been saying this since...HoT? Maybe vanilla?There is absolutely no reason for there to be downtime on ranked. ABSOLUTELY NONE. CUT IT OUT.

Do you realize what is happening ?....The druid is playing knockback immobilize build..the rev cover his back with the cart to avoid the knockback and negat the immobilize...hence the "exploit"...it was a figurative sense...........

No it's literally exploiting.

Kinda but gets to a point where nerfing classes down to a point starts making them feel like gbage to play.

Why would it feel like garbage to not insane mobility, damage AND sustain on ranger/holo/rev? You shouldn't have all 3 at such extreme levels. Basically having 5 stars in everything is not "balanced".It's also not just sustain, all 3 classes just run around with perma prot or perma resistance in condi revs case which is stupid.

[Please give us at least 1 viable power mesmer spec.]

I know it's a meme, but people play this and it's very unfun to fight. I don't think Anet will ever buff mesmer as long as this trash build exists...
