c u again.3267 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 All kinds of rev rn tbh. I've been playing 3v3s lately in top5 rating area and every team basically runs 2 or 3 revs. The permanent stability from core rev Jalis put together with the cc of Mallyx and Jalis from other revenants is an extermely obnoxious combo with no counterplay whatsoever. All of the teams in top10 are basically playing double or even triple rev. The cds on CCs are obviously overtuned and they should cost more energy or have a high cooldown since both of these seplls (jalis taunt and mallyx leap) are hard CCs. Mallyx being a spammable AoE pull. It's gamebreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor.3720 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you focus on the whole rotation (aka legend swapping) then it falls down to 40% uptime. hyperboles are real.@c u again.3267 said:put together with the cc of Mallyx and Jalis from other revenants is an extermely obnoxious combo with no counterplay whatsoever.So the problem is not revenant itself but stacking revenant. AFAIK I am pretty sure this applies to almost all meta builds.@c u again.3267 said:The cds on CCs are obviously overtuned and they should cost more energy or have a high cooldown since both of these seplls (jalis taunt and mallyx leap) are hard CCs.jalis taunt has 15 secs cd. The maximum cd increase anet could(should) do is 20 secs but not more because all legend's skills need to be available once you swapped your legend back. (Glint is an exception because one guy had a good idea of designing a whole spec around upkeeps...)Mallyx cc already costs 35e. Since 50e is a "psychological" limit, at worse anet could increase it to 40e. But it doesn't matter, because in this meta all CCs are worth it. So no matter what nerfs anet decides, you will still be hit by those two once every 20 secs (or any of those every 10 secs).@c u again.3267 said:Mallyx being a spammable AoE pull. It's gamebreaking.Do you mean that CC you can "spamm" once every 20 secs? We definitively do not have the same definition of spammable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shao.7236 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 @Leonidrex.5649 I'm definitely for new content that doesn't last forever because the meta's people make become stale really quick. At least it's not impossible to win against the meta given the right match ups unlike last 2v2's balance state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But others have fun so bless them, who am I to take their fun away.mb next time there will be 2node 4v4 or something goofy, even if its bad its good to have something fresh from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c u again.3267 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 It's not just 3v3 though, teapot hosted a 5v5 tourny today and a triple rev team went undefeated. triple rev team. which consists of core rev, renegade and herald. rev is ruining every gamemode rn with its sustainability and cc/boon spam. the class itself is the biggest issue when it comes to balance currently.

Not gonna happen in ranked. Right, but I think that balance should be based on how the classes works at its highest potential, and not about how they perform in gold or even platinum while played by random people.Otherwise ANet will end banning all the amulets, runes and sigils except one in each class in order to level the game for the absolute bottom tier.
