Can we doing something about Scholar stacks in PvP?

[ArchfiendXVII]

Thread title.

I am an average Frontline grinder/enjoyer (don't make fun of my damage I wasn't performing this match lol) and I've been kind of tired of running into pre-made teams stacking Scholar and spamming Biolysis on me and my team, with stacking procs that ramp up to 10k+ damage per tick.

While I definitely don't mind playing into premade metas, such as people spamming Dark Knight, this one is kind of has no counterplay. There is no way to dispel or remove DOTs off of you and it deals a lot of damage.

I definitely think it's fine if Scholars can stack their Bios, but doing this much damage is a little bit too overtuned.

I'd suggest the problem is the ability to stack in a light party, compounded by unspeakable Q-synchers who think it's funny to do this sort of thing, because they feed on the misery of others.

Sits back sniping kills the whole match, dies one time. The horror.

It sure is a lot of damage though lol that's hectic.

Not another frontline complaint

Doesn't this get hard countered by having a healer or two in alliance?

Or just recuperate to full and pop elixir so it has time to go off.

Now call me crazy but Frontline players are weird to me - if there are actions that generally gain value to the point of being oppressive... how about you dont all stand together in a 15y circle or tighter?

Surely the map design will allow for spacing and cover not needing 16-24 players in one spot? The only time I understand clumps of players happening is melee attackers on a focused target but the ranged players can space out a bit.

This was my thought too, was to just have pocket/dedicated healers to keep check on everyone. But realistically, who in FL is actually looking out for anyone else outside their own party LOL

This is also a MUCH bigger issue, but I doubt SE will ever make any measures to do anything about it. At most, it's better to at least nerf the playstyle they do so it isn't as sufferable.

tbis is the same problem as salted earth. The aor skills need to be capped to 5 targets. Otherwise, l will keep on refining my sleep walk ability in frontline

You're probably right. Equally, when a public Discord advertises the fact that, at a specific time and place, they will be flooding FL matches (without using an off-DC language filter) with WAR or whatever, you might suppose a SQEX representative might drop them a line noting this is scummy behavior and please not to do it. Also unlikely to happen, I imagine, despite such Q-synchs being de facto griefing of anyone not in on the joke.

This abuse of the current system is one of the main arguments for the ability to make custom matches IMO.
