Is pvp still this bad?

I last played PvP over a year ago and after bored with pve farming/dungeons I was debating whether to join in Pvp again for some fighting fun...

Then I came across this video of a virtually unkillable player, wondering how exactly garbage like this is even allowed in the game?

Has it changed since the video was made or is it still full of these unkillable builds making any fight boring and pointless?

- Sit back, have a slice of Pizza while 5+ players throw everything at you without fear of you dying- sounds legit.

    I didn't see anything wrong with this.
    1.He healed an ally for 2k on Bol.
    2. No quality enemies. (Unorganized)
    3. They were using finishers 70% of the time
    4. Should have just continued to siege
    5. I would just ignore him
    6. Liquid Lightning and Wall of Elements are not going to do anything
    7. He couldn't hurt anything
    8. Why does everyone have to be a DPS? maybe he wants to tank

    Have to agree with others here...why do you care if players like this exist? They literally have zero chance of ever killing you. If you run into someone running a troll build like this you simply ignore them.

    So many NB's, so little fear. Rooting / CCing would have made all the difference.

    That's why i rarely compliment such builds, as it needs pug / inexperienced player groups like on the video to work. This is no exception.

    When i see this done to, say, more experienced PvP guild group, i might give a lazy thumb up. But oh, they rarely take that bait.
    NB enthusiastic:

    2. Know-it-all elf Magblade - Healer / PvE & PvP
    3. Hate-them-all elf Magblade - Destrostaff AoE monster / PvE
    4. Cyrodiil-Refugee stamblade - Stamina Tank / PvE

    Sadly, OP if you play in CP campaigns it is. The whole infinite resources, infinite sustain, insane damage, insane healing, stupiud tankiness, etc still exists on any campaign with Champion Points, and the only way to get away from it is to play on a No-Champion Point campaign.

    "Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak

    That video is a bad example because the quality of attackers was hilariously bad.

    NB never using fear. He should have used it exactly every 7 seconds.
    Templar using his weakest full health attack, RD, the ENTIRE fight.
    The rest doing little else but heavy attacking the whole time
    Also they were all lower level, and the guy was built as a tank and could do virtually no damage.

    So to answer your question (in a way you didn't expect), yes, terrible players still exist in PvP.

    At least, if you want to showcase unkillable tanks, do it with a proper video. 5 extremely mediocre players who have trouble light attacking could be tanked on just about anything...
