hotte in space.2158 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 PvP is coming home ! Thx teapot and all ppl who made this possible :) Very positive : Apart from that theres no warriors (and just one mesmer) yet, diversity is incredibly high. All classes/specs are represented, thats great. Team composition, harmonic teamplay and good rotations seem more decisive than single strong players/1v1 situations. Thats the way it should be, PvP is a team game after all. Very negative : There are matches in which are more rezzes than kills, what is still ok I think. But there are matches with more instant rezzes than overall kills, and that is not ok in my opinion. There shouldnt be matches, decided just by a certain skill, and I saw at least one match, decided just by glyph of renewal. That sucks ! Instant rezzes are way too overtuned and should have much higher CD. It also hurts to see revs high sustain under pressure and still doing high damage. Rev is only class carried by build in my opinion. The fact that anet didnt participate, that anet didnt take effort on this tourney, that anet even seems to have nothing to do with MOTA is poor. All in all I am happy to have championships again and I am having fun watching all these great players. There will be of course more impressions til the finals. What do you guys think about MOTA ?

Leonidrex.5649 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 My first impression. 1 rev is OP 2 glyph is OP 3 warrior and mesmer fucking suck 4 matches are closer then I have thought they would be 5 you can make necro of any kind work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulvar.1239 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Is there a youtube channel with all the matches to replay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAB.9340 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 At the moment only the qualifiers are up on mightyteapots youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/user/MightyTeapot). But my guess would be that all of MOTA will be uploaded at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindcircus.1506 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I really enjoyed the broadcast overall. I'm not a huge PvPer, but I found the fights very exciting and watchable. I found Roy's commentary to be super insighful and Teapot as usual brought the high energy. I found the gameplay amazing to watch and I was tuned in to pretty much the entire broadcast of day 1. The games themselves were standard pvp fare with the occasional close match highlighting many curb stompings. Watching Rank55 Dragons and Team USA was amazing. Seeing what some of these guys can do is a real eye opener. That said the stream came to a screeching halt any time Angeels was put in front of the mic, his lack of meaningful commentary and overall low energy did the presentation no favors. Watching him fumble every time Roy passed to him was super uncomfortable. **DAY 2 EDIT:** Angeels is a LOT better today, providing much better analysis and bringing a far stronger presentation. > @"hotte in space.2158" said: > > @"phokus.8934" said: > > > @"hotte in space.2158" said: > > > > @"Sigmoid.7082" said: > > > > > > > [Does this not count?](https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/join-the-masters-of-the-arena-tournament/) > > > > > > Anet didnt support teapot in organizing this event.

Anet scheduled their own Legends Tournament to accommodate the scheduling of this one 2. Anet Added 12k Gems for the prize pool 3. Anet added a special inGame title for the winners. 4. Anet ensured that two outlying degenerate builds that were overperforming we addressed in time for the Tournament. 5. Anet Hyped the tournament on Social Media. 6. At least two Anet employees contributed personally to the Prize Pool. Your comment is an ignorant meme and really, when the company is showing pretty solid support for a fan-run event, it's really a good idea to be better informed before you spew.

Mini Crinny.6190 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Glyph of Renewal has a 2 sec Cast, so the player would of been casting it already, knowing he would go down (or hoping he would) at the spot he cast it for it to be instant, It's a pretty strong skill but I wouldn't say its OP as it takes up a utility slot for something else and can be countered by the opposition with any kind of CC aswell as the downed player possibly porting somewhere else, being knocked back away from the casting area of the glyph and then you wasted a res for 90 seconds.
