I'm seeing less 1vXing, and when it happens it's easier to see what's going on. I even 1v2ed some people as a magdk? That was very validating for me
It's not that I feel like it's more based on skill now, it just feels more transparent. I know what to expect from other players, and fighting them means watching for what skills they're using and what stats they have rather than which sets. I'm not mystified as to how someone had high health and high damage—it's way easier to see.
It feels kind of like training wheel Cyrodiil, and as refreshing as it is, I expect it might get stale if it were to stay like this forever. But I'd be less disappointed about that now

Well I mean all the damage players put out has to manually be done now, since not having procs means ZOS is doing 0% of damage for players. Players have to do their own damage, so players who can't land burst combos correctly aren't going to get any kills themselves, they'll have to play support or steal killing blows from a distance with Frags or something.
