So a Caluurion proc on top of Incap with a weaved SA that kills a LA target out of stealth is indicative of skill?
I see the point you’re trying to make. But let me ask you, isn’t that much more indicative of skill than repeatedly trying to gank someone and failing because you have a bad build and equally bad mentality.
Overall ganking gameplay is about abusing mechanics to prevent a response and it’s much more skillful, imo, to execute that properly than to keep getting into protracted fights on a gank build because of your moral compass. At that point, 99% of the population will begin to make excuses about why they’re not successful instead of adapting.
So, imo, being able to recognize an evolving meta and adapt is much more skillful than sticking to outdated concepts. Do you follow OWL by chance? Excelsior had a massively dominant season then refused to adapt to the addition of Brigitte on the competitive scene and got embarrassed by Fusion in the playoffs. At the end of the day, in a PVP game what matters is getting more kills than your opponents and it’s not inherently less skillful to do what is required to reach that.
@Ralamil this concept you’re speaking of is laughable. How does you or I not slotting Sloads or another damage proc set improve the health of the game? The vast majority of players already run these sets so being in some vocal minority that takes a principled stance at the expense of competitiveness is irrelevant. You and I not running Sload/Zaan/Caluu/whatever isnt going to make little Timmy change his build, it’s going to make little Timmy tactically superior and put us in a position where we have to significantly outplay him to win.
Edit: @feanor none of the “you” statements mean you specifically, just generalizing.Edited by Lexxypwns on July 25, 2018 12:33PM0 -

No offense taken. Actually I love having discussions that go above and beyond “X is OP nerf plz”. I think what it comes down to is if you want to be winning at all cost. In a competitive game - which ESO isn’t - and more so esports you’ll naturally use everything available that could give you an edge. The thing is though that these environments often are so restricted that there is a much better balance than ESO has had at any time.
I derive no fun from an opponent who has had no chance at all. I deliberately choose not to use the latest cheese. Yes, it’s gimping myself, and I lose more. But I couldn’t enjoy cheesing wins either, and at least with running non cheese I can say that results are more or less my own doing.
It’s not a question of moral. I’m not mad at cheese users. It’s just that being effective and having fun are not identical things for me, and the latter is more important than the former for me. The only thing I find disingenuous is the double standards a lot of people have - when cheese is ok on one class but isn’t in another.Edited by Feanor on July 25, 2018 12:51PMMain characters: Feanor the Believer - AD Altmer mSorc - AR 46 - Flawless Conqueror (PC EU)Idril Arnanor - AD Altmer mSorc - CP 217 - Stormproof (PC NA)Other characters:Necrophilius Killgood - DC Imperial NecromancerFearscales - AD Argonian Templar - Stormproof (healer)Draco Imperialis - AD Imperial DK (tank)Cabed Naearamarth - AD Dunmer mDKValirion Willowthorne - AD Bosmer stamBladeTuruna - AD Altmer magBladeKheled Zaram - AD Redguard stamDKKibil Nala - AD Redguard stamSorc - StormproofYavanna Kémentárí - AD Breton magWardenAzog gro-Ghâsh - EP Orc stamWardenVidar Drakenblød - DC Nord mDKMarquis de Peyrac - DC Breton mSorc - StormproofRawlith Khaj'ra - AD Khajiit stamWardenTu'waccah - AD Redguard StamplarAll chars 50 @ CP 1700+.

This is not hard to implement @ZOS_GinaBruno
Get this current iteration of Sloads out of the game ASAP. Not next patch, not next PTS cycle. Now.Edited by usmcjdking on July 25, 2018 7:49PM0331
