Honest question. I originally only played WoW for PVE and have never understood why people bother with PVP. I decided to finally give PVP an honest shot this season. I PVPed quite a bit this season (enough to get full S9 gear on my alt Rogue and do some arena and get a couple pieces of s10) and I still don't get the attraction. I feel like I gave it an honest effort.
Now, I played FPS back in the day for my PVP fix now I mostly do RTS for PVPness.
I just don't understand why you would choose WoW for PVP - here are the reason why:
1.) Crazy class imbalances
2.) The obvious fact that skill doesn't matter (if it did a "talented" player could destroy 4 average players - without a pocket healer - no matter what class
3.) The majority of the WoW PVP community is another level of terrible (no offense, just stating what I see).
4.) Healers
5.) Resilience
6.) Fights take way too long (see #5)
7.) CC is annoying (I played rogue and annoying the hell outta people with CC was probably the funnest part - did get old fast though)
8.) Faceroll comps (Warlock/Shaman/X lawl)
9.) Numbers matter more than skill (see #2)
10.) FoTM classes.
11.) The crazy waves of nerfs and buffs
There is more but this is what comes to mind right now.
Just want to know what people find so attractive about this kinda PVP. Maybe Im missing something? But I think I think Ill stick to tanking on my DK.
