I decide to level my mage as fire and see how it compared to shadow.  I am up to level 16 and so far it is MUCH easier.  I can generate all the food and water I want so constantly drinking isn’t as frustrating.

I can attack things from much, MUCH further. I think shadow priest has the same range for SW pain and Mind Blast, but Mind Flay is like 10 yards closer so that’s not cool.

My fireball has the ability through talents to stun a mob, and I can snare them with frost nova to keep them away from me.  My spriest has nothing of the sort.

And my mage can kill things much, MUCH faster and easier. Plus you aren’t running from me, Defias!

Well we all wanted to play the classic AV like it use to be around vanilla and I can honestly say the updated version is just as good.  As long as the guards stay higher levels than the players, it’s fine. Anyway Blizzard tempted us with an updated Stormpike Ram and I HAD TO HAVE IT.  The problem was, Alliance lost pretty much every single battle.  But, I did get to see Lok for the first time ever:

and eventually got my mount:

But no joke, had a 7% win rate.

So apparently there are NCsoft bots these days and anyone can bot and it’s ok.  I had to kill 300 mobs in the Ruins of Agony  and it took FOREVER for a few reasons.  1. I still have a no grade starter weapon 2. I have NO shots 3. I cannot afford shots and 4. there are as many bots as mobs and apparently even if you tag the mob first, if the bot kills it (which they do in 2 hits) you do not get credit.  So it took forever to even find a mob to hit that wasn’t already targeted by 3 bots.  What the actual fuck Ncsoft?  Captain Bathis even has a menu called “Ask about auto-hunting”.

Do you want to know what that 300 mob quest got me?  Oh, like 1 level.    Yeah I know actual L2 original was much slower but I don’t know of any quest where you had to literally do 300 mobs.  I mean, sometimes it took that many or more to get your quest items but it just wasn’t set like that.  Crazy.  And I still have a starter weapon.

Ugh so in Overwatch shields have been a problem for a while now, but it’s especially obnoxious since Sigma showed up.  The classes with shields, which right now is Reinhardt, Winston, Orisa, Sigma, and they can be layered.  They are being nerfed though for obvious reasons.

I will predict the next problem though.  Hear me out.  I think the next problem will be ‘the bots’.  Not like L2 type bots, but those classes that have AI do their work for them.

First, Moira.  She’s fun to play, I guess.  But, don’t act like anyone is a skilled player using her.  IT IS NOT HARD.   You throw a healy ball in the general direction of your team mates and IT AUTOMATICALLY  heals them. You throw a damage ball in the general direction of the enemy, which goes forever and ever and bounces of its own account, and IT AUTOMATICALLY ATTACKS THEM. You hold down fucking right click and your attack AUTOMATICALLY TARGETS ANYONE CLOSE and you kill steal like a son of a bitch.  Oh you got all golds?  Yeah, me too as her.  You know why? Because you fucking kill steal everyones kills.  Or if you get your own, it’s because you don’t have to aim while having better mobility than most of the cast and can just dance around them while they try to aim.  Fuck right off Moira.  No joke I can’t even play her any more because it’s stupid game play.

Anyway as I was saying.  Moira doesn’t have to aim on ALL OF HER SKILLS, Torb only half has to aim, Sym has like 30% auto aim, Bob auto aims, Soldiers ult sorta has to aim a little, McCree’s ult can aim even if someone is off his screen, etc.  I dunno it just feels like there is too much auto aiming.
