Melee classes are sad in CC

[Bloodthrone]

Considering you're operating on ideas and principles that are only applicable to low skill games, I'd say you don't actually know Reaper that well. For someone that claims to main the class, that's concerning.

Work on your game knowledge and skills, start getting into high skill games (as much as this crummy system can produce, anyway) more frequently, and you'll have a better understanding of why I think you're wrong and why you aren't able to understand why you are wrong.

KNOWLEDGE IS NOTHING WITHOUT EXPERIENCE WHEN WILL YOU GET THAT?! ARE YOU TRULY That BLIND TO WHAT WE ARE CONSISTENTLY TRYING TO TELL YOU?! IF SO PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!

Let me get this straight....you directly associate skill to rank under all circumstances even after being cognitively aware of ALL the rng that comes with having bad teammates/job spreads and current imbalance of multiple jobs?? Have you not seen all the complaints of players from reddit to these forums who play very well but still cant get out of certain ranked purgatories no matter how well they perform?? One of the main reasons i never broke out of gold was because i literally was one win away from rank up SEVERAL times only to fall back down over and over n after awhile that is extremely infuriating to deal with when you have taken the time to learn and perfect your job only to be dragged down by terrible teammates, uneven team comps, unbalanced jobs, and major flaws within reapers kit. I'd love to go on but you clearly arent listening and honestly ive given you way more attention than you deserve tbh.....so Ill tell you what g serpent unlock the job, play over 200 RANKED matches and i will personally gift you 1 million gil no strings attached just to prove my point because after that you will come to understand. Hell I'll even humble myself and in addition entertain an intelligent convo about your experience and we can fully discuss the job in depth at that point....⏳

You can try to point out this fact all you want but you'll get the same "BuT YoU ArE tHe ConStAnT" or "ItS DeSiGnEd To LeT yOu ClImB" nonsense.

I don't think this would do you any good considering this is the same person who thinks purify and the stunning in this PvP isn't broken...

CC isn't nearly as big of an issue as you're making it out to be. Purify does what it's supposed to do.

Gil is meaningless. I have 4 subs that print it for me passively. Why would I want it? And we both know that even if I played an entire season of Reaper, if I came here and maintained what I've been saying from the start, you'd generate some new excuse to discredit my opinion because... guess what? To admit I'm right is admitting that you aren't anywhere *near* as good as you think you are. And people on this forum are incapable of doing that - hence all the people claiming balance issues, design issues, or whatever other thing they can gin up to do anything but have to admit their own inadequacies.

And yeah, Credit Rating *is* MM. It's a pretty garbage version of it, but it does function as it its intended function. The higher your rating goes, the more likely you're going to see fellow high-rated players in your games, and *most* of those players will at least be competent at the game, and some will even be good at it. Near as we can tell, the system tries to balance teams by total Credit Rating, and if there are multiple high-rating players queuing at the same time, it's very likely that they'll end up on different teams (going to be hard to put two 5000+ players on the same team and still have both teams even, after all.)

Of course, we can go the other way - if credit means nothing, then why aren't you top 100? After all, even I could do it, and I didn't have to play that many games. So which excuse do you find more convenient?

lol what? Even with me only really playing pvp once or twice a week, I consistently ran into top 50 players who had like 5k credits while I was sitting at 1k. MM doesn't exist in CC outside of star ranges and then crystal is just a free for all.

Exactly!!!! I'd bet GOOD money anyone saying that is playing the meta jobs.

More than likely just got carried or rolled lucky.

K dude let's try and move on from this I have a few ideas (also provided by others) to improve Reaper:

1. Shorten the 20 sec cooldowns to 15 sec

2. Insta cast on Communio plus a buff from 16,000 to 20,000

3. 5-6 sec CC Immunity on LB

4. Gallows and Gibbet provide Immortal Sacrifice and possibly the 1,2,3 but that's up for debate

5. 45sec from 60sec cooldown on Plentiful Harvest


I think these are reasonable what do you think?

Id LOVE all of this but we would never get all of it. Not gonna lie....if they let us keep immortal sacrifice stacks on death that alone would make me shut up

I legit didn't know he said this and was serious......thats enough to make me not respond to him any further....wow
