Frontlines Feedback

Bring back 24 man frontlines.

Remove the frontline buff for tanks and melees. 65% extra damage at max high is overkill.

Increase the cooldown of Vanward Potion from 15 secs to 30 secs.

Reconsider the decision made regarding premades.

I have more, but those are the most important that needs to be address (except the potions).

Bring back 8man premades and enforce freelancer for solo queue.

I say these two together because, playing with friends shouldn't be punished. However, this would also give a better chance for premades not to be stacked on one GC by coincidence. I know it will still happen sometimes but as it has been in past, people flock to one GC for a better chance to win. Thus any premades have a nearly 50% chance of ending up on the same GC. (for those that still don't know, queuing as a group of any size queues you as freelancer anyway. whether that be 2, 4 or 8 people in a party).

Bring back 24man Frontlines

As it stands now, the people in EU/JP people have little chance to play FLs on NA at all. People who work night shifts on NA have a hard time finding time to play in our prime time window also.

Please give us Rated Frontline matches with Premade-Parties only.

DO NOT NERF MELEE DAMAGE.
Buff ranged hp and deffensives instead.

Otherwise we will come back to old healer-only meta, where switching to healer job is insta-win.

I don’t think you really understand the cause of the issue, I suggest you to read patch 4.5 first.

Have you played pvp before that patch? Where everyone was playing range dps and healers? And where your contribution as a melee was super low, and there were very little fight in frontline?
I played on my 3 tanks and i was being killed from distance by range dps jobs when i had no healer next to me. xD

It was a complete mess and i dont want to go back to this abomination, it was the literal worst pvp experience i ever had in any game.

I have been there since day 1, thanks. I only touch Machinest in 4.0 to show how incompetent that player only intents to use Machinest to psh people off the cliff when he can just burst any job with OP burst rotation.

Yes, range is so OP and problematic prior to 4.5 that almost extinct tank/Meele. Please do some research first and you will see why fall from the grace without being actually nerfed

Bring back 24 player variant for the existing maps and let the Naadam map be 72 player only if the 24 players simply doesn’t work on it.

I really don't think melee need +15% damage. Everyone benefits from battle high, but I can't help but feel it is more pronounced on us more than other roles due to our burst. It is 100% fair that ranged should lose to us when we get on-top of them but they disintegrate in seconds.

Also Backstep looks like it could use a little love. A 10 yalm movement with a laggy animation on even a 15 sec CD is kind of weak; right now it is used Carteneau Flats to teleport to the bottom without fall damage which is about it. Either giving it way more distance or giving it the ability to break CCs (adjust cooldown as needed) would at least make it appealing to monks, as we really have no escape tools besides punching our way out.
