Tri-bind

[Exira]

I can agree with you that Tri-bind was very powerful, however I have rarely seen an occasion in 4v4(feast) where Tri-bind caught enough players to see it's AoE potential shine. My problem however is not that it was nerfed. I agree that a 12s AoE bind is definitely powerful. However it's their sense of balance I have an issue with. The fact that they raced to nerf SMN, and not only nerfed its potency, but also nerfed its CC,...

Completely agree. The blindside cc nerf was strange and I'm certain they don't actual utilize any NA feedback because some of the things he listed were either blatantly opposed here or not even mentioned. I can only assume most of the feedback is JP. I was concerned when they gave one day of notice for all that balance too....like who did you discuss this with and when? Would help if there wasn't such a huge language barrier

This is how I feel as well and why I'm not exactly happy with the current balancing act. It almost feels like they pay very little attention to what has actually been said and to the actual state of pvp itself. I mean, in other threads I also examined SMN as being overpowered, however such a half done balancing act really frustrates me. If they were going to do it halfway then they could have left Tri-bind till 3.25. Either way they should delay the season start as they appear to still be play-testing the game mode.

I also don't see what their need to make the game mode faster is. I feel like they have very little PVP experience with this game and others.
