Congrats for your positive feedback, not much of those here in forums

Now we achieved the second class balance, like necro all thief specs are equaly viable it could be faster, like 4 classes

Thare are around 40 builds in metabattle.

But most of them are not spammable, which seems to be what you seek

When i say spammable, i mean a build you can play every game without being hard countered

I play ele most time, FA is a good build, but it is not spammable, 2 teleporting classes in the other team makes it borderline impossible to play. But sometimes it fits better in a game than a spammable build. Cuz their team has no counters to me i fill i needed role plus counter 2+ players

But it took time to learn my matchups, and learn the build ans ppl just want to insta win and copy paste the higher rated build from their class and spam it like there were no other builds.

About competitive scene, yes only the most efficient builds will be played and it's a very small portion of all viable builds. But any game works like this, dota 2 has over 120 heroes, but 80% of the pick/bans in pro scene resolve around 20 heroes if it's that many. Teams play other heroes cuz the draft system forces them to, but we don't have something like that in gw2 so most teams will play exactly the same comps

On one side you wasting your time on forums on the other side you are not playing the game

I didnt watch it yet

But i read the previous post

You should try something around maps to draft, like dota, you can choose the side of the map or first pick.

Since you pick/ban classes some comps will be at great advantage in certain maps

The other team has to figure out what you trying to do when you pick one of those maps

It seems accurated

Id put guardian over engi and ranger over mesmer

i did the same with core ele, managed to reach plat, but my build isn't nearly as fun to play

In fact it is some boring shit, it's only fun when high plat players chase you forever not believing they couln't kill the poor core ele with all their cds

great gameplay btw, I'm not good as you, not even close, you're on point with all you blast and field mechanics, just great

6 -8 month and we'll have 9 broken builds for at least 6 month. Everybody will forget about 300 icd traits and the playerbase will grow again due to expansion and steam release.

It's one giant fucking bandaid, but it'll work for a while. I'm not even sure the game will get paat 10 years with some significant updates, so i don't think they are that worried.

I know dh has one of the highest winrates in the game for quite a while, a class flying under the radar for 6 months at least. Now team USA made it pop and a lot of ppl are playing it it's going to be nerfed, you gatekeeping it or not

Changed my mind

No other trapper rune is this annoying

So prolly dh needs some tunning down

This lies in the unfun to play against cartegory

An internal icd would do it and not kill a play style

It's ok if you are not complaining about build diversity

And if you are aware most builds you are using are tailored for ATs or in other words, organized gameplay where you can rely on your team. And not ranked.

There are plenty builds that are not listed in metabattle that are better for ranked than the ones there.

I wonder how many ppl here just copy paste builds from MB and GoP and never tried something that they made themselves

Oh well

They read on forums how op guard was

60% winrate is like the higher you can get in ranked as a solo player, so no shame there

Omg lol

Apart from djinns lamp treb is the worst secondary mechanics of all ranked maps

I feel like i lost when someone on my team goea treb

Ya

If im allowed to quit without dishonor when i get a losing match up im ok with it

Petition to improve my blame game

Even if I mostly play survivors i know this is cancerous so i rather see sustain going down than dmg

Im enjoying my bunker core ele

There is no build diversity problem, there are lazy people copy pasting and not even reading the builds they are using

Can my core ele go higher than 1550, probably not cuz it has no dmg and relies on other ppl mistake trying to 1vX a build that is useless and give me value

I think reaper is fine, lich form dunno, it's definitely a problem in v3s and v2s, but who cares about those game modes anyways

Herald is probably ok, even if i hate this class with some passion when i remember how many times i thought i was safe and they double port and killed me

Trapper runes prolly need an icd to shave off some of the survivability stealth provides. And honestly, those trapper builds are annoying to play against, but most of them not necessarily op

Weaver is in a weird spot, maybe you can see some play from lightning rod ans Fresh Air again with all those rounds of thief nerfs

I think mesmers will be ok after one more round of nerfs across the board. I played chrono for a bit and the level of possibilities you have with split time is kinda insane and would require some time to master it to compete in high level, so you won't see many mesmers out there. I don't want any easy to play mesmer builds, they get out of control very quickly

People don't theorycraft, they just copy paste builds from metabattle and godsofpvp. They have so little understanding of the builds they're using that don't even tweak it to play against a heavy condi or power comp.

Those website are primarily rate their builds based on ATs, while 98% people are playing just ranked.

Ranked oriented builds may not see the light of the day in those sites unless some well known player starts playing it on their streams

Build diversity is not the problem, problem is 1-2% of players are feeding the community with builds, once they find the best build for their classes they stop theorycrafting.

Forums dude

I feel like unless they land a flawless patch and you ask here what ppl think about it the answer is always be negative

Talking about build diversity in a community where 90% of the players copy paste builds from a website and barely read the traits is weird.

More so if you consider those websites have their meta set by ATs and note solo queue which most ppl getting builds there are going to play

I don't see anything but more toxicity coming from your request

It's like "show me the right direction to point my finger"

Patch is ok

I'd have nerfed EE blindness instead of dmg.

And removing amulets ia always kinda meh.
