EW FL is probably my least liked iteration of pvp in the entire history of the game. While I think the new pvp kits are great, LBs completely ruined FL's balance. Because of how strong aoe damage and cc are they had to jack up the passive defense every role gets and it takes forever to kill anything outside of LB windows, and most jobs get their LBs constantly so it just becomes a game of abusing LBs.
It's not as huge of an issue in RW because the player count is smaller, and obviously the kits were designed for CC where they make way morse sense (5v5 and no job stacking). EW's pvp changes resulted in me playing the least amount of FL ever, I'd only ever queue up if friends wanted to do the daily or I wanted to farm mogtomes.
